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.

Summer of Wisdom Wrap Up
Labels: Capital Christian Center, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, Southeastern University, Summer of Wisdom, Tommy Barnett, vision
I had the honor this week of speaking at the first chapel service of the new school year for Southeastern University. There are great things happening on this campus where over 3,000 students are being prepared to impact our world. The experience was enhanced by spending a day with Tommy Barnett who was the speaker for day two. He has the unique ability to inspire vision in everyone he comes in contact with. We would all do well to look at the challenges around us as possibilities instead of problems.
We wrap up our "Summer of Wisdom" series this Sunday with a worship and inspirational experience wrapped around the theme of vision. I am excited to see what God has in store for us. When we seek Him with passion, He will reveal Himself to us and empower us to make a difference in our world.
Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

Striving After Dreams
Labels: Capital Christian Center, Dreams, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, Samuel Gordon, Summer of Wisdom
Cathy and I are in Orlando this week attending the national convention for our denomination, the Assemblies of God. I just came out of a session that was quite overwhelming. A pastor from Baghdad, Iraq, spoke to us about not giving up on our dreams. He lives in danger every day yet continues to joyfully reach out to people in his city. One of their outreach efforts is to street kids who have been orphaned. They are now gathering over 300 every week who are learning about Jesus and receiving care. All of these children and youth were raised Muslim but have now experienced the love of our Savior, Jesus. We definitely have a lot to be thankful for and a great mission before us. Let’s keep striving after the dreams the Lord puts in our hearts!
Since we are in Florida this week, we are going to extend our stay through the weekend and celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on Monday, August 10. We will return home on Tuesday and can’t wait to engage in the dreams we have to reach our city and deepen our devotion to Jesus.
Samuel Gordon will be bringing the Word this week in our summer of wisdom of series. He is fired up and ready to go.
Proverbs 21:2 All a man's ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.

Fatherly Wisdom
Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's! I am so blessed to have a Dad
that I look up to and respect. He is a multi-talented person who can do virtually anything he sets his mind to. A gifted athlete (he still beats me in golf . . . very frustrating), an amazing trumpet player (highlighted by playing the National Anthem at a King's game this year), an inspiring leader, a great orator, a wise counselor, and so much more. But, the greatest thing about him is his character and integrity. He loves God and he loves people. He can remember names like no one I have ever seen. He is generous in giving to others. He lives his life for others. Thanks Dad for being who you are and showing us the way!!
Sunday we will gather to celebrate the love of our heavenly Father. Communion will be included in our worship as well as a message from the Proverbs focused on "Fatherly Wisdom." It will be another great day in God's house with my family of faith. See you there.
Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
