Calvary Christian Center Yuba City Podcast

Send us Fan Mail At Christmas time, much focus is given to gifts: those that we give and those that we receive. But Christmas is truly about: The Giver! God is the ultimate, personal, passionate, loving, greatest Giver of all time. Join us as we learn about our tender-hearted and Almighty God who gave His most precious gift to each of us personally: Himself.

Send us Fan Mail The gift of prayer is one of the most overlooked and neglected gifts Jesus gave us! And yet, it is one of the most powerful!! Join us as we learn 5 principles from this amazing gift that assist us with fulfilling the plan God has for our lives.

Send us Fan Mail D.R.E.A.M.!! God has a great dream for every person... and every letter of that word reminds us of powerful principles of the dreams that God has for us, what they do to us and for us. Join us for this exciting message as we learn to P.L.A.N. for God's D.R.E.A.M.!!

Send us Fan Mail Many of us have heard the enemy yell: "Checkmate!" Like the King in a Chess game, he tries to surround us with problems that seem insurmountable, making it appear that there is no hope and that we are overwhelmingly defeated... but we must never forget: God is the Master strategist - and He always has the last move!!

Send us Fan Mail We have all been wounded. Life hurts and pain can run deep. And it is the enemy's goal to see that each of us are wounded deeply, fatally - and without healing. But Jesus Himself was also fatally wounded - for US!! When we reach out to Him and allow Him to reintroduce wonder and worship - our scars heal and we can stand once again to fight the good fight of faith.

Send us Fan Mail Good days - and bad days - just happen. The key to seeing our worst days become the best days in Christ: Our Focus! Join us as we learn from Joseph's life how to keep bad times from swallowing up the good.

Send us Fan Mail Hope is powerful - especially when we know that it will not fail! In Christ, we have been given the ultimate hope - one that is beyond imagination, time and description: Heaven!! Join us as we learn 10 critical truths regarding the believer's eternal destination, including who will go to Heaven, what is and isn't there, and what it will be like.

Send us Fan Mail Like the lame man at the Beautiful Gate, the enemy lies and tells us that we will never rise up and experience the beauty that others have... until we take the hand of Jesus, spend time in prayer and approach Him with an expectancy to receive... then Faith and Love will take us by the hand, lift us up and run with us into all of the Beauty that God has destined for us!

Send us Fan Mail Freedom. It always comes with a heavy price. Our nation is free because of many heroes who have willingly laid down their lives - and our souls are free because Jesus did the same on Calvary. But in order to truly live in the ultimate freedom that God offers, each of us must reach the intersection of faith and make a final decision: will we willingly lay down OUR lives?

Send us Fan Mail In God's eyes, covenants are sacred and unbreakable. And this permanency was symbolized in Biblical times by the mixing of salt from two parties - a blend that is impossible to separate. God sees the bond of marriage no less inseparable - and in this age of easy divorce, His people must see their marriages the same way - and know how to fight for them!

Send us Fan Mail God desires to reward those who diligently seek Him! And the key word to this promise is: Diligently. God is everything we need Him to be in our lives and He has rewards already stored up for us in every area of life. But we must learn to sacrifice, turn away from things of this world and pursue His Word and His Presence with all our hearts - and THEN we will receive the rewards!

Send us Fan Mail There's no getting around it: if you handle goats... you will SMELL like it! Goats symbolize sin in the Bible, and sin ... stinks!! King Saul encountered a man carrying 3 goats to the House of the Lord.. and many people today try to carry their sins, guilt and condemnation to church, only to discover that true worship is impossible. Join us today as we learn to let the smell...

Send us Fan Mail "Unworthy." It's a common feeling that many believers carry, because they judge themselves to not be "good, spiritual or holy enough". But the reason that we can truly worship God, serve Him, fulfill our callings, receive His blessings and "do all things through Christ" is not because WE are made worthy, but because HE IS WORTHY!

Send us Fan Mail Like Paul, many around the world today are facing severe persecution and death - just for believing. And like Paul, they boldly proclaim that they are not ashamed of the Gospel! God calls us to make the same bold stand with our brothers & sisters - proclaiming the Truth and love of Jesus to our world. We have been sent by God - it's time for us to stand... Unashamed.

Send us Fan Mail We are in the fight of our life for our faith - therefore, in the battles of life, we can't fake it... we must FAITH it!! We have to do far more than talk a good game - we must learn to speak what we believe and focus on 3 critical ingredients of faith as we believe that God will do what He said He will do!

Send us Fan Mail There are many ways that our needs are met... by there is only One true Source: God alone is our Provider, no matter whose hands our needs and blessings come through! In this encouraging and challenging message, Pastor Ciociola teaches us the various "hands" through which God provides for us... including our own!!

Send us Fan Mail The favor of God will open doors for you that no man can shut! In this 3rd part to the "Do You Walk In Favor?" series, Pastor Ciociola teaches the 4 benefits (fruits) of favor that we have because Jesus Himself bore the marks of the Father's Covenant with us on His own body.

Send us Fan Mail You can begin a journey with God that draws more favor on your life! Favor is God doing something for you that you cannot do - and in this 2nd part of Pastor Ciociola's "Do You Walk In Favor?" series, Pastor teaches 6 keys found in Scripture to God's life and destiny-changing favor in our lives!

Send us Fan Mail The favor of the Lord is one of life's greatest possessions - and when you get a revelation of God's favor on your life, you begin to align with how God sees you! The Word of God teaches us how to recognize His favor, follow Jesus ... and find favor following us!

Send us Fan Mail Before any victory... there is a battle! And like Gideon's 300, after God has given us His vision of victory, we must cry out to Him! In Part 1 of "God's Promise For Your Life", we learned that we must SEE a vision in order for it to become a reality. In Part 2, we will learn how to SAY it - and then seize it!

Send us Fan Mail The first step to seeing God's promise become a reality in your life... is to SEE it! Like Gideon, God will often give us a picture of victory, and then we must learn to retain that picture continually in our mind. Only then will be persuaded enough to pursue all that He has for our futures!

Send us Fan Mail Achieving victory over the "impossibles" of life IS possible - once God takes us through His process. Gideon was one of the most unlikely of heroes - but after God was done with him, he led a meager 300 men to total victory over an innumerable army. In the battles of our lives... it's the process that matters!

Send us Fan Mail Most do not fail because of lack of opportunity, talent or education... they fail because of lack of determination. Heroes throughout Scripture and history teach us that in order to be all that God called us to be, we must not allow setbacks to steal our determination - in fact we must learn to increase it to a new level in the face of adversity. Join us today as we learn to live...

Send us Fan Mail It's what we have left that really matters! Many of us have faced losses of all kinds in life – but we often don't realize that the miracle can be found in what we have left. God is not just God over what we have, or what we have lost... He is the Sovereign, Almighty God over what we have left! And like Ezekiel, He is asking us: "Do you believe that these dry bones...

Send us Fan Mail There's a little Jonah in all of us - and that's not a fisherman's tale! Just like the Old Testament's "run-away prophet", we are called to compel others to Christ. But like Jonah, we have also rebelled, we have been pursued by God - and if we repent – we will also be given second chances to get it right!”
