We have been feeling called to plant a church on Capitol Hill. This is the second post sharing the vision that God has given us. (The first post can be found here) The core of this vision comes from 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
A church that is waiting for Jesus
The return of Jesus Christ is mentioned by every New Testament author. In total, it is referred to over 300 times. To the early church however, the second coming of Jesus was more than just a major doctrine, it was an interpretive lens through which they viewed the scriptures, their circumstances, and even their daily life. Our desire is that the church on Capitol Hill will be a waiting church.

After being given all the instructions by the thrilled parents, the reality of what I had committed to do sobered me up quickly...(click for more)
Stanley Voke. Just seeing his name gives me joy. I have a mental list of those I want to see as soon as I arrive in Heaven. First, is my twin brother David. Then I want to see my sweet nephew Jody, who entered in at just 16 years old. Next on the list are Stanley and Doreen Voke. We first met them back in the 80’s through Pastor Dave Bridgeford who was hosting the Vokes all the way from London, England. Or more exact, Cobham in Surrey. They had pastored a few different churches for 42 years there in the UK and been honored to meet up with some of the leaders of the revival happening in East Africa. That was the message they brought to all of us at Calvary Fellowship....(click for more)

Birds sing outside my bedroom window—a sweet prelude to a new day. I love the stillness of early morning, before the house stirs and a rush of busyness sets in.
What’s special about morning?
He hears my voice.
“In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice. In the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation” (Ps. 51:3)...(click for more)
