Survey of the New Testament

6:13 prayer is happening every Wednesday evening. There is a wonderful atmosphere of faith and a deepening experience of God’s presence. Miracles happen when we pray and I don’t want you to miss out on the possibilities for breakthrough. Consider fasting the evening meal and joining us next week.

Sunday we will provide a survey of the New Testament and its focus on Jesus, our Messiah. The One who can rescue every person in this world for eternity has come! There is no greater message available in our world.

Also, we will gather on Sunday evening at 6:00 for Simply Worship. It is always rewarding when we spend time together giving God the praise He deserves.

Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Good times ahead!

Pastor Rick

Pressing In

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.
