Send us Fan Mail When Joseph's brothers appeared in Egypt & bowed before him, he had 2 choices - and they are the same critical ones that we will encounter at some point in life! The Choice?

Send us Fan Mail Ezekiel's vision of the dry bones was a powerful illustration of God's promise to restore life to the nation of Israel - but that's not the only place spiritual dry bones need the life-giving breath of God! Sometimes - it's OUR walk with God that dries up and/or encounters "valleys of the shadow of death". And we also must learn to live on, depend on and walk daily in our only life-source: the very Word and breath of God! Join us as Pastor C walks us right through the famous "valley of dry bones"!

Send us Fan Mail The Spirit-Filled Life isn't an "option", an "upgrade", a one-time event, or just for preachers: for followers of Jesus, it's normal, necessary, daily - and for everybody!

Send us Fan Mail Stanley Praimnath is a survivor of the 9/11 attacks on the WTC. As one of the only 4 survivors above the impact zone in the South Tower, his incredible story is one of survival, recovery and hope. Praimnath was working on the 81st floor of the South Tower when he watched the second hijacked airplane approach his building. He saw the aircraft tilt just before striking the tower and, with only seconds to react, dove beneath his desk. He survived the impact and the collapse of the South Tower. His story of survival is also a story of faith. Among the few physical reminders he kept from that day are the shoes he wore to work—shoes whose soles were melted and covered in ash. “I still have the shoes I wore to work that day. The soles are melted, and they’re caked in ash. I keep them in a shoebox with the word ‘deliverance’ written all around it. They’re kind of like my ark, a reminder of God’s presence and the life I owe to him.” — Stanley Praimnath Praimnath keeps those shoes in a shoebox marked “deliverance”—a deeply personal reminder of what he believes was God’s presence in the midst of the catastrophe and the life he believes he was given back. Twenty-five years later, he will return to that day not simply to remember what happened, but to share a message of courage, recovery and hope. The commemoration will also honor the men and women who continue to put themselves in harm’s way to protect others. Local police, sheriff’s and fire department leadership will be present, and the ceremony will include special recognition honoring the service and sacrifice of local law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency personnel. “September 11th is a day we must never forget—not only because of the lives that were lost, but because of the courage and sacrifice displayed by so many,” said organizers. “This anniversary gives our community an opportunity to remember those we lost, listen to someone who lived through the tragedy, and express our gratitude to the people who continue to serve and protect our community every day.” Approximately 3,000 innocent people lost their lives in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Flight 93, which crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. As the nation marks the 25th anniversary, Calvary Christian Center invites residents throughout the Yuba-Sutter community to gather together for a solemn and moving remembrance.

Send us Fan Mail Last week, we dove into Scripture and studied the Personhood of the Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor C will walk through 10 of the attributes and roles that the Holy Spirit works through, in and for us! Don't miss this powerful teaching about the vital work of the 3rd Member of the Trinity!

Send us Fan Mail Many people think of a "power, force, or a ghost" when they think of the Holy Spirit - or perhaps a "dove" or "fire". But the Holy Spirit is a Person. He is God. He has a heart, thoughts, a personality and is a vital part of the Trinity!

Send us Fan Mail We don't know her name.... Or her age, or anything about her, except: she was a slave - living behind enemy lines. But 1,800 years before Christ, this young girl captured the heart of Jesus before He Himself came to become a servant, and thought of others before Himself. Today, Pastor Michael dives into the intriguing story of an unknown slave - who points us directly to the heart of the King!!

Send us Fan Mail Most of us know that the Wilderness is a "testing place" - but many miss that it is also supposed to be a "changing place"... for our hearts and attitudes! In a culture that tells individuals to be controlled by their emotions (instead of the other way around), Jesus teaches us to choose and control our attitudes - and for our own good!

Send us Fan Mail "God Wills" - Deus Vult. When the Israelites were promised the Promised Land - they discovered that every promise has problems... enemies to conquer. And demon idols to completely tear down and remove from the land. God has directives for us today as well - and we dare not allow sin or compromise or self-righteous pride to live in the life God is calling us to, today. Deus Vult - we are called to live for God's glory and will!
