We had a wonderful time last Sunday believing God for miracles. It was not meant to be a one day focus. Let’s keep pressing in for all God has for us and make faith a daily exercise as we trust God for His supernatural supply. We begin a week of fasting and prayer on Monday that will culminate in a special prayer meeting at 6pm on Saturday. Join me in this Transformation Challenge. Choose from the following options:
• Fast all meals
• Fast two meals a day
• Fast one meal a day
• Fast an entertainment convenience – i.e. television, internet, magazines
When fasting, replace the time being fasted with the spiritual pursuit of Bible reading, prayer, meditation, and journaling. Humbling ourselves by fasting releases the Holy Spirit to do His special work of transformation in us. Fasting renews spiritual vision and reduces the power of self so that the Holy Spirit can do a more lasting work.
During our fast, let’s focus our prayers on these things:
• Reaching Sacramento with the good news of God’s love
• Receiving clear vision for our church from the Holy Spirit
• Physical healing
• Personal finances
• Corporate finances to advance God’s work
• Local, State, National, and world leaders
• Family life – marriage and children
• Personal spiritual transformation
Don’t forget to join us for the concluding prayer gathering on Saturday, February 6, at 6pm.
I am looking forward to Sunday with much anticipation. We will make a new friend with our musical guest, Steve Bell. Steve will be sharing his life and music in the morning services and then a full concert Sunday evening at 6pm. I’ll be speaking on the subject: Hungry for Greatness. It is going to be a great day in God’s presence!
Matthew 23:11-12
The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Miracles
We had another great experience on Wednesday night with the women’s Bible study meeting in the Activities Center and the men’s Bible study meeting in the upper concourse. There is an excitement in the air as we pursue growth in our lives and find fresh connections with others that are on the same path. It’s not too late to join in. Check it out this next Wednesday at 7:00 pm. You can bring the whole family as the children and youth have gatherings happening at the same time.
Miracles are the theme for Sunday. We could all benefit from a few miracles in our journey with God. There will be special prayer for anyone needing the miracle of forgiveness, the miracle of deliverance, the miracle of provision, and the miracle of healing. God is willing and waiting to touch us in supernatural ways.
Matthew 4:23-25
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.

Reconciliation
Labels: Capital Christian Center, God, Martin Luther King, Michael Jr., Reconciliation, Rick Cole, Sacramento church
Monday is the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and it provides us a wonderful opportunity to express God’s heart for the equality of all mankind. Sunday morning our focus will be “Reconciliation.” Through faith in God we can find healing and restoration for past offenses. We are going to celebrate the unity we have because of His love and grace.
Sunday evening we are joined by Christ followers from many other churches in our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration service. It is going to be a wonderful day as we come together in the name of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Coming in February: CCC’s Vision and Values. It is going to be an exciting month of
inspiration and vision for the future. I can’t wait to share these truths with you!

Do Something
Faith is worthless if we do not act upon it. We pursue knowledge and faith in God’s grace and power so that we can live a life that is marked by His presence. “Do Something” is the theme for Sunday’s services. It could be a life changing weekend!
Wednesday, January 13, begins a new study for women and men in separate settings. We are going to grow in our love for God and how to walk out His will for our lives. Something special happens when we encourage one another in our spiritual journey. Come expecting great things from this pursuit of truth and power.
James 2:18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
