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.

Loving the City
Labels: Capital Christian Center, Character Combine, Evening of Dreams, God, Love, Race Across America, Race for a Mission, Rick Cole, Sacramento church
I am struck by the scene described in Luke 19 when Jesus approached the city of Jerusalem and wept over it. He so wanted the people to understand His love for them and the difference He could make in their lives. There are days that I am moved when I look over our city, people rushing around oblivious to the amazing love of Jesus. So, we are doing our best to reveal His love everywhere we can. Here are some of the latest expressions from our Capital family to our city:
CHARACTER COMBINE
Over 700 coaches and athletes gathered two weeks ago day to receive inspiration from Jason Harper, Jamie Whitmore (three-time triathlon champion and a cancer survivor), Kevin Bracy (nationally recognized motivational speaker), Troy Ellerman (author of Forging Iron), Mark Munoz (Ultimate Fighting Champion), Jerry Manuel (former Major League Baseball manager for the White Sox and Mets), Anthony Robles (NCAA wrestling champion born without one leg). It was an amazing day of giving love to our community so they can pass it on in their areas of influence.
EVENING OF DREAMS
This Saturday we will host a prom for 150 special needs individuals. Each person has been matched with an escort to the prom from athletes and students around our community. It is going to be an amazing experience of making dreams come true.
RACE ACROSS AMERICA
Four men from our Capital family will be riding bicycles over 3,000 miles with a mission in mind. Their monumental effort will raise awareness for charitable giving to the cause of hunger, clean water, and education around the world. They will be featured on Good Day Sacramento from 6:30am to 10:00am next Thursday.
These are just a few of the many expressions of love to our community. I love the heart of our Capital family to express the love of Jesus in every way possible. Great days ahead!
Sunday we will hear from the leaders of our youth ministry. It is a special day to focus on children and students of all ages. It is great to see the commitment our youth have to loving Jesus. We will cap off the day with our annual spring children’s musical “Lifesong.”
Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

BASECAMP: Love
CELEBRATION planned for Sunday!! We finish our month of BASECAMP with the Katinas helping us celebrate. They will be leading worship in all services and sharing some of their awesome music with us. The week’s study is all about LOVE: receiving it and giving it away to others.
BASECAMP is a four week study that will now be the entry point for everyone coming to our church. It covers our HISTORY and VISION, our commitment to TRUTH (know it), GROWTH (pursue it), and LOVE (give it). We will all have a common understanding that will help us stay unified and focused on our spiritual journey. Once completing BASECAMP, if you would like any assistance in how to get involved at Capital or discover what is available to you for continued growth, simply fill out the WHAT’S NEXT? form that will available at the information counters. We will then provide a personal meeting with one of our leaders to assist you in where to go from here. Membership can also be pursued if desired. The leader you meet with can answer any membership questions you might have.
The month of March we will be studying the ARMOR PROJECT. It is critical that we are equipped today to deal with the challenges we are facing in the world. God gives us what we need to thrive and succeed. I am looking forward to a great month of growth with you.
Isaiah 54:10 “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.”

Basecamp
Labels: Basecamp, bible study, Capital Christian Center, growth, Love, prayer meeting, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, truth
An exciting month is before us! We are concluding a week of fasting and prayer with a prayer meeting on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. It would be great if you could join us for prayer. Then, Sunday begins a series of four weeks called “BASECAMP”. Last year I received clear direction from the Lord in refining our vision for our church family and clarifying the process for how those new to our church can become a part of our family and grow to spiritual maturity. BASECAMP will be the entry point for everyone so I wanted to expose our entire church to this teaching. This will be done in the four Sunday’s of February. This week we begin with an interesting view of our 94 year history and provide an introduction to the vision. Here is the vision simply stated: A commitment to TRUTH (know it), GROWTH (pursue it), and LOVE (give it) leads to a healthy life. You are going to receive a lot of information in these four weeks that you will want to hang on to as the foundation for becoming all God has designed you to be. I can’t wait to share it with you.
Wednesday nights provide another opportunity for growth. The Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies are gaining momentum and we would love to have you there if it works in your schedule. There is a place for every member of the family with great children’s and youth meetings at the same time.
Looking forward to growing with you this month.
John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
