BASECAMP is underway! We are studying the foundations of our spiritual life this month and clearly defining the vision that inspires and guides us. If you missed last Sunday, you can access the message online at: http://ccconline.cc/video_detail.html?id=620. It would also be possible to open up another tab on your computer and follow along in our magazine. There are graphics and copy that will help to make everything clear as you listen. The message content begins on page 8 in the magazine which can be located at: http://ccconline.cc/c5mag/index.htm.
This week we will study the commitment we have to TRUTH and how we can know the truth. The study will encompass the truth about the Bible, salvation, water baptism, communion, and the Holy Spirit. This would be a great week to invite a friend to join you. The truth will be presented in a very compelling manor.
Don’t forget to express your love to the important people in your life. Valentine’s Day is a wonderful reminder that expressing our love is an important virtue. Let’s strive to show the fruits of love all year long.
I am also pleased to inform you that the final Sunday of this month will bring the Katina’s our way. They are going to provide a special feature to the concluding week of BASECAMP. Lot’s of exciting things going on these days. Don’t miss it!
John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

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.

Pressing In
Labels: Capital Christian Center, Fasting, Prayer, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, Steve Bell, Tranformation Challenge
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.
