AMERICA'S FAVORITE COACH
Joe Ehrmann's approach to coaching football is what any parent would want for their child. He has determined that the job of a coach is to love every player and teaches his players that it is their job to love each other. It is not just a feel good weak approach. It is an approach of strength that has produced championship teams year after year. We have the privilege to learn from this gifted coach and spiritual mentor this Sunday. Can't wait to join with you for an awesome spiritual experience in worship and inspiration.

1 John 4:7-8 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Special Spiritual Experience
Labels: Business Meeting, Capital Christian Center, Easter, God, Good Friday, Rick Cole, Sacramento church
GOOD FRIDAY
I am looking forward to a time of contemplation and communion at 12:15pm on Friday. This is a wonderful way to begin the Easter weekend as we consider the greatest sacrifice ever paid. Because Jesus was willing to pay the ultimate price, we have access to ultimate prize.
EASTER
Four celebrations to choose from . . . Saturday at 7:00pm, Sunday at 9:00am, 10:30am, or noon. This is a perfect opportunity to invite a friend to join you at church. People are actually hoping someone will extend an invitation for this special spiritual experience. There will be incredible music, stories of lives that have been changed through faith in Jesus, and a message that will celebrate the gift God offers every person on earth. I can’t wait!
SPECIAL BUSINESS MEETING
We considered the approval of purchasing a digital sign that would front the freeway from our property. It required a two-thirds majority to move forward. We ended up one vote short of a two-thirds majority. Most of the no votes were simply because some wanted to see if we could raise the funds needed to purchase the sign instead of finance it. We will present a revised approach at another special business meeting to convene on Sunday, April 22, at 5:00pm in the Auditorium. This is a wonderful opportunity and we would love to have your involvement in the decision making process if you are a member of our church.
Mark 14:4-7 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

LIVING A LIFE OF LOVE
We will wrap up our study this week with a look at the opportunities before us to let our light shine for others to see. With Easter one week away, we want to invite our family and friends to one of our services. People are waiting for genuine love and compassion. Let’s bring it to them!
GOOD FRIDAY
Our annual Good Friday service begins at 12:15pm on April 6. It is a wonderful time of reflection regarding the supreme gift of love Jesus gave.
EASTER
Four services to choose from where we will present the Easter message . . . “God So Loved . . .” Saturday, April 7 at 7:00pm, Sunday at 9:00am, 10:30am and Noon. It is going to be a wonderful celebration of life.
SPECIAL BUSINESS MEETING
We have an opportunity to place a digital sign on our property right next the Hwy. 50. Our bylaws require the approval of our members when we consider an expenditure exceeding $250,000. The cost of the sign would be in excess of this amount but will also provide a revenue opportunity to cover its cost through advertising. We would retain at least half of the ad space available for our messaging and sell the other half to cover the cost of the sign which would be paid off in five years. Our meeting will convene to consider this at 1:30pm on Sunday, April 1, in the Sanctuary.
Philippians 4:4-6 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Barriers to Love
Labels: 6:13 Prayer, Capital Christian Center, CCS Basketball, God, Love, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, Souldesign, The Study
The life we live is quite complicated in the way we are affected by its circumstances. This Sunday we will look at how we can overcome the barriers that are placed in our path to keep us from a life of love. God’s love and grace is bigger than any obstacle.
THE STUDY
Each Wednesday evening following the 6:13 prayer meeting there is an opportunity to go deeper in our knowledge of God’s Word. For the month of March I will be teaching from the New Testament letter of 1 Peter concerning how we can live faithfully in relationship to God in the midst of a corrupt world. There will also be time for interaction as I will field any questions about our current Souldesign emphasis. I’m looking forward to spending some intimate time with you in The Study.
CCS BASKETBALL SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP
Friday at 5:30 pm at Power Balance Arena (formerly Arco) our High School boy’s basketball team will play Central Catholic for the Section Championship. If you love basketball, come and support our team.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

First or Last
THE PARABLES OF JESUS
This week our study takes us to Matthew 20 where the workers in the vineyard are not treated equally. Those who worked the last hour of the day received the same wage as those who worked the entire day. Crazy stuff. Then He ends with this statement, “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” What does it all mean? We’ll sort it out on Sunday.
CHRISTMAS SCHEDULE
Christmas Eve service will be at 5:00pm. with communion. Christmas Day service will be at 9:00, 10:30, and noon with beautiful music and a wonderful expression of praise to God for His amazing love. Come and worship Jesus with me.
CLEAN SLATE
2012 provides an opportunity to begin the year with a clean slate. Our focus in January comes from the book of Philippians. We are going to learn how to turn disappointments into victories and grumbling into thanksgiving.
Philippians 1:3-6 I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

SINGING CHRISTMAS TREE
Five more exciting performances of the Singing Christmas Tree this weekend. It's not too late to get in on it. Kick off your Christmas celebrations with this wonderful Sacramento tradition. This is our 55th consecutive year of presenting the Christmas story this way.
PARABLES OF JESUS
How do you deal with the disappointments of life? The parable of the persistent widow provides insights that are inspiring and potentially life changing. I'm looking forward to a special time in God's presence with you on Sunday.
CHRISTMAS WEEKEND
Our Christmas Eve service will take place at 5:00pm and Christmas Day we will have our regular Sunday morning schedule with services at 9:00, 10:30, and noon. When making your plans for Christmas it would be great to include family worship at Capital. No better way to celebrate the greatest gift ever given!
Philippians 2:14-16 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.

The Compassionate Father
Labels: 6:13 Prayer, California International Maraton, Capital Christian Center, God, parable, prodigal son, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, Singing Christmas Tree
PARABLES OF JESUS
Perhaps the most widely circulated story Jesus told is the parable of the lost son . . . better known as the prodigal son. It is more about the character of the father than that of the son. This Sunday we will study this parable and grow in our appreciation of the compassion we receive from our heavenly Father.
CIM ROAD CLOSURES ON SUNDAY
The California International Marathon is run this Sunday and requires the closure of roads along the race path. If you live north of the Sacramento River, you will want to check the road closures to be sure you can make it to church on time. Click here for the road closure schedule: http://blogs.sacbee.com/ticket/archives/2011/11/schedule-of-cim.html
6:13 PRAYER MEETING
We will continue the Wednesday evening prayer meeting through December with the exception of the final week, December 28. Join us if you can for this wonderful time in God’s presence.
SINGING CHRISTMAS TREE
What an amazing tradition we have of bringing the Christmas message to our community through the medium of creative arts. No better opportunity than this one to bring a friend to church.
Luke 15:23-24 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. So they began to celebrate.

Undending Thoughts of Thanksgiving
Our traditional Thanksgiving service convenes at 10:00am on Thursday. It's always a heart warming time of giving thanks to God for His faithfulness. My prayer for you is that you will be filled with unending thoughts of thanksgiving today, tomorrow, and every day to follow.
Sunday we will examine the parable Jesus told in Luke 16 about the rich man and the beggar at the city gates. It is quite compelling and inspiring to learn more about God's view of life and what matters most. We will conclude the service with our contribution to help the millions in need through One Day to Feed the World. You will find a true blessing from participating in this benevolent opportunity.
Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Just a word of encouragement to use the tools provided to plan your week. Growing in faith, relationships, finances, health, and outreach does not just happen without being intentional. As we pursue the principles outlined in the book, calendaring them into our schedule for the week will make them come to pass.
Psalm 100:4-5 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Each of us has the privilege of adding joy to others by the way we treat them. I am looking forward to sharing this life building hour with you on Sunday.

You have embraced the new service times with grace! Thank you! Our goals are effectively being realized as we have spread our attendance quite evenly between all three services. Remember, the Classic service including the choir begins at 9:00am, and two Casual services with the Freeway Fifty Band follow at 10:30am and 12:00pm. Now let’s fill all three by inviting our friends to experience God with us.

This Sunday we have a wonderful opportunity to advance what God is doing in East Africa. The church is growing and there is a great need to adequately train pastors for this harvest. If you are able, please prepare an offering to help fund the Bible school in Addis Ababa so that we can reach as many people as possible in that part of our world.

The box office is open for this year’s celebration of Christmas. This is a wonderful event to bring friends to. I’m looking forward to seeing you there!
Psalm 27:4 One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Marked by Gratitude
Week two of our Colossians study and we find one of the true keys to life: Gratitude. While grumbling and complaining comes naturally, it takes a genuine effort to cultivate the habit of being grateful. This is a trait that can be learned. Let's pursue it.
CAPITAL KIDS LAUNCH
This Sunday is the beginning of new things for kids led by Jody and Missy Vaughn. It is going to be a wonderful environment for kids to learn and grow in their relationship with Jesus.
OCTOBER SCHEDULE CHANGE
On October 2, our service times are moving to 9:00am, 10:30am, and 12:00pm. The first service will be the classic worship style and include our amazing choir. The second and third services will be the casual worship with the Freeway 50 Band. Sunday School classes will be at the 10:30 service time so those who attend a class can choose the early or late worship depending upon preference. We are looking forward to a wonderful season of growth this fall.
Colossians 2:6-7 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Jesus Changes Everything
Labels: Capital Christian Center, Colossians, God, Our Capital Our Home, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, Tim Hawkins
We begin a study in the book of Colossians on Sunday. The first chapter describes the supremacy of Jesus and how blessed we are to have our sins covered by His sacrifice. It is going to be a wonderful time of worship, prayer, and learning.
COMEDY NIGHT
There are tickets available for the Saturday’s event with Tim Hawkins. He is a gifted comedian who always connects the message of Jesus to His presentation. Perfect event to bring a friend to.
OUR CAPITAL . . . OUR HOME
The lights have been installed on the football field and will greatly enhance our experience for all the events to be held there. We have given $200,000 since July 31 and have pledged an additional $400,000. So, we are nearly half-way to our goal. Exciting times! Be sure to join the effort if you haven’t already.
Colossians 1:3-4 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people.

Pressing On
WHAT’S AHEAD?
Sunday we will conclude our study of Nehemiah and celebrate God’s blessings with communion. I will be sharing some significant changes that will be coming in the fall as well. My heart is full and I am looking forward to sharing what God is saying to me regarding this coming season of life. Definitely a day you won’t want to miss.
Psalm 9:1-2 I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

MIRACLE DAY FOR OUR CAPITAL . . . OUR HOME
Labels: Capital Christian Center, God, miracle. Tim Hawkins, Our Capital Our Home, Rick Cole, Sacramento church
We have a legacy of miracles as a family at Capital Christian Center. God has provided for us through the years in finances, healing, freedom from addictions, relationships restored, missionaries sent to the world, people coming to faith in Jesus, and much more. We are looking forward to the next miracle from God. He often chooses to work His miracles through those who believe in Him. That is what we anticipate for this Sunday, a mighty miracle that is realized through hundreds of people depending on Him. Consider these three things in preparation for Sunday. 1) Pray for direction in how you can participate in giving. 2) Exercise faith as you pray. A miracle may be on the way for you as well. 3) Focus on equal sacrifice, not equal giving. It would be great if no one was left out of being a part of this miracle.
TIM HAWKINS COMING AUGUST 13
Be sure to purchase tickets for yourself and a friend for this evening of joy and laughter. Tim is renowned for providing a night to remember for all who attend.
COMING IN OCTOBER
A new tool to help us grow in our spiritual journey. I am looking forward to the progress we will make as we put into practice the principles God gives us from His Word.
Mark 10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
