“I have always believed that every life event has a reason and a lesson. We may not understand it right away, but if we pay attention, we can see all the miracles unfold right before our eyes. Approximately a year ago I was having a series of test performed by my doctors and some tests came back with the diagnosis, “Malignant Neo Plasm of the Lungs, Esophagus and Thyroid”. The saddened and disparaging look on my doctors face as he breathed the words, “Stage 4 Cancer” didn't seem to ha...

I never used to think of hope as something powerful, until I got sick. Really sick. When you're in a seemingly impossible situation, the power hope brings can be the difference between life and death; breakthrough or defeat. Are you in a seemingly impossible situation? Are you contending for someone who is? Then you need to understand the power of hope. Suddenly, illness struck. I had been going through a lot of stress and knew my health was declining, but I had no idea what lay ahead. One day, ...

“I started attending JC Sacramento nearly 7 months ago, just 3 weeks after my husband was called home, to dwell in the presence of the Lord.

Every time we come, there has been someone who greets us and asks us how we are doing. The love is real here. It's the simple things that have impacted us. When Pastor Bannin...

So often in our society we are encouraged to conform; to bow to the all-consuming trend. Not in the Kingdom of God. We bow to Him but not at the expense of who we are because He created who we are so strategically and necessary to the Kingdom of God. Think about it! No one on this earth of over seven billion people is exactly like you. God made you perfectly unique and that was on purpose.

Imagine a simplified church with the purpose of equipping people to see the Kingdom multiplied among us. In a culture that caters to the consumer we have decided in our hearts to go against the grain and opt for creating a culture for the committed.
