Are you ready for an end of summer trip? Flight Plan is our theme for August and we begin this Sunday with a look at our destination. An amazing future is in front of us and God has given us a great glimpse of where we are headed. Make sure you are on board for a great experience with all the other passengers from CCC!
Also, we will be honoring Samuel and Linda Gordon for 15 years of wonderful service to our school and church families. We are blessed to have such a gifted and committed couple on our team. Samuel and Linda are a great strength to our church family and to me personally!
John 14:2-3 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

Peace and Persecution
Labels: Capital Christian Center, God, Mission, prayer meeting, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, San Francisco City Impact
HUGE OPPORTUNITY THIS SATURDAY!! We will be meeting at 6:00 p.m. for a time of prayer as we put our faith to work. God is our provider and we are looking to Him for our daily provisions. There are many people in our family of faith who are facing difficult economic situations. Let’s support our family members by standing together in prayer. Breakthroughs are on the way!
We will complete our study of the Beatitudes on Sunday with a look at peace and persecution. These two experiences seem to oppose one another but in reality, they work together. It is going to be a great day as we celebrate God’s love for us and learn about the difference He makes in our lives.
San Francisco City Impact has been serving the Tenderloin Community for the past 24 years. They are one of the mission outreach organizations that we partner with to support them in their efforts. This Sunday we will be receiving an offering to help them provide a Christian education for the children of the Tenderloin. Our gift will be matched by a generous donor of the Mission so it will be exciting to see what we can do to help them reach their goal. If you are able, please consider joining me in making a difference in the City.
Matthew 5:9-10 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Growing in Character
Labels: Basecamp, Bo's Cafe, Capital Christian Center, God, John Lynch, prayer meeting, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, Truefaced
If you were unable to be with us last week, I would encourage tuning in to John Lynch’s message. You can access it by clicking on this link: http://ccconline.cc/videos.html?q=view&id=399 Also, you can purchase the books, Truefaced and Bo’s Café, which John co-authored. They are available in our bookstore.
Sunday we continue our study from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. As we grow in character we line ourselves up to receive special blessings from the Lord. We are committed to TRUTH (know it), GROWTH (pursue it), and LOVE (give it). These beatitudes from Jesus’ teaching will move us closer to fulfilling our destiny.
BASECAMP begins in two weeks where our history and vision is clearly taught and discussed. If you have not yet accessed this information, plan on joining this four-week study beginning August 1 at 9:30 a.m. in the Parlour.
Also, we are having a special prayer meeting on Saturday, July 24, at 6:00 p.m. with a focus on the financial challenges being faced today. We are believing God for His provision for jobs and business growth. Join us as we seek the Lord for breakthroughs.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

John Lynch - Co-author of Truefaced & Bo's Cafe
Labels: Bo's Cafe, Capital Christian Center, Fire Bible, God, John Lynch, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, Truefaced
Cathy and I have been attending a meeting of the Bible Alliance this week with about 100 leaders from around America. This is the organization that produces the Fire Bible, a special edition with comprehensive study notes, for many language groups around the world. Last month our offering for the Fire Bible was $32,000 and we were able to be a part of raising an additional $2,000,000 for future editions from all the participants at this year’s event. It is exciting to see what can be accomplished when we all work together and do our part.
I’m excited for you to meet a new friend of mine, John Lynch. He has co-authored two books I have recently read: Truefaced and Bo’s Café. They are both in our bookstore and will be available this Sunday in the Lobby. John will be there to encourage us with a message of God’s grace and how to embrace His love toward us. It is a day you won’t want to miss. It is a day I don’t want you to miss. Moments like this have the potential to be life-changing.
Romans 3:21-24 (Message Version) But in our time something new has been added. What Moses and the prophets witnessed to all those years has happened. The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus-setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we've compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.
Can’t wait to see you on Sunday.

God Bless America!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!! I am so thankful to be placed in this Country to live my life. Having traveled to other nations and experienced other cultures, there is nothing that compares to what we enjoy here. We are going to celebrate our blessings on Sunday, July 4, and focus on how to live in this time of spiritual challenge. Jesus gave us some incredible direction in the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5. We are going to look at the attitudes He instructs us to embrace. I’m looking forward to sharing these dynamic truths with you.
July brings a fresh focus for our men’s and women’s Bible studies. You will be blessed by this four week opportunity to learn, grow, and interact with others.
Have a great 4th of July holiday!!
