This year has been amazing! I cannot believe that we are four weeks from completion. The year has been filled with challenge, victory and redemptive stories. I love hearing that our “fav 5’s” are meeting Jesus! Hope restored. Lives changed. Please join us June 14th at 6pm to honor our Capital Interns at Capital Christian Center, Meridian Idaho. You guys rock!
A trudge of hopelessness, loss and pain leave their mark on the Emmaus road with every step. Silence and mystery loom in the air. Problematic questions void of answers crowd the conversation. Cleopas and his traveling companion are in a whirlwind of loss. Blinded by the horrific events of Friday, Jesus interrupts their conversation incognito. Sight has been altered by hardship. The brilliant Messiah lectures as a detailed historian. He takes them on a journey from the laws to the prophets. In a flash they find themselves passing the bread, He breaks it, eyes open, Jesus gone. A minute with Jesus and a moment of worship will correct impaired vision. What is your vision of Jesus? A trudge to Emmaus quickly turned into a sprint to Jerusalem! Check out Luke 24.
It’s time to put the spiritual disciplines into gear. This week’s lecture time will be spent listening to our Capital Interns as they have prepared brief sermons on text and topic of choice. Prayer, study, fasting, silence and solitude are a few spiritual practices that have been employed. I’m excited to hear what God has prepared in their hearts. I’m ready to shout amen! I’ll post some of their outlined notes at weeks end.
Happy Thanksgiving to the greatest Interns in the world! We are extremely proud of each one of you! God is doing miraculous things in your life. We love you and hope you all have a great week with family & friends! Get some rest! (serious)
Let us hear what God is doing and saying in your life (Interns). As we spend time waiting on God and seeking His face, He opens our ears to hear and changes our hearts. What is the Holy Spirit quickening to you in this season of your life?

If you were to ask an intern how long they’ve been in Capital Interns they would probably say three months. However, we’ve only been going a little less then a month! From week one until now our Interns have worked tirelessly and passionately from one project and trip to the next! Week one: Encounter & Retreat, Week two: GCb Live, Week three: Early Church History Intensive, Week four: Washington D.C. at the National Prayer Center.
So, this week we’ll have some chill time and prep for our BIG Capital Intern YARD SALE!

In exactly one week we will be launching in to our 2008/2009 Capital Intern year. Next Thursday we are heading out of town to spend a few days seeking the face of God together! Get ready to worship, pray & invest time in the Text. Take time this week to abide (John 15) with the Holy Spirit, ready your heart to receive the implanted word of God. This will be a year of deep spiritual insight, refreshed vision and break through in your life. We are always at the right place at the right time doing the right thing because God orders our steps!
