Calvary Christian Center Yuba City Podcast Pastor Michael A. Ciociola

To remind His people of His faithfulness to protect them, God’s glory/Presence was visible at the Temple. His people took His Presence for granted, no longer honoring Him until one day they saw His glory depart. Ichabod. Once again in America we need God’s Presence manifesting. Government can’t fix what is fundamentally wrong. Only God’s power and Presence will bring us back from the brink.

Why does God use and permit suffering?  Why did Jesus ask (and have recorded for us in the Word) His request to let the Cup of Suffering pass from Him?  What we hate and see as suffering - can be the path to Peace, in the hands of our Father.  This week we are remembering Jesus' suffering - which purchased our Peace.  Jesus IS the Way - our path, our peace and our life.

Jesus told us: YOU are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill ... and Jesus directed us in this same passage that our light must shine before people in such a way that they may see our good works - and glorify our Father!  If we are looking for the light of Jesus to break through the darkness in our city, families, neighborhood and world - WE are it!  Join us as Pastor Michael "plugs us in" to the source of our light - the living Word, Jesus!

There are 10 deadly sins that we - yes, followers of Jesus - can commit with our mouths.  In this powerful message, Pastor Ciociola breaks down the top 10 deadly Word-Related-Sins, Scripture's warnings and instructions - and how to keep our mouths from speaking this poison!

We live in a culture with misdirected hope that leaves one empty. Some attempt to find an answer jumping from one high to another, still empty. Faith is based on what we personally know. It’s the evidence of truth we know. Faith brings us the only One who satisfies because He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Which is it?  The (true) answer to that question about our Love and the condition of our hearts is already - and will be all the more before Jesus returns - a CRITICAL one.  It is actually one of Jesus' most important signs of the End Times... the hearts of many will turn cold. Many whose hearts once blazed with love for Jesus and for others. Join us as Pastor Michael helps us to take the temperature of our hearts.
