We want to thank you for your continued prayers and support of C28. We were blessed by the Lord to hold our May "C28 Outreach Ministry" concert http://www.c28outreach.com/  Over 10,000 attended and over 400 prayed to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior!!!

Through God's grace, we are opening the 10th C28 store this Saturday in Fairfield California at the Solano Mall. This will be the 4th C28 Franchise store! http://www.c28.com/franchising/ 

If you live in Northern Cal, please visit them this weekend! This summer we are introducing a new line of NOTW shoes, a new designer NOTW denim line, as well a new line of custom shirts! God is so faithful!!!

With all that said, I wanted to bless you through God's word! As I read the first few chapters of the book of Luke in the Holy Bible, I was drawn to appreciate the role of John the Baptist more than ever before. The reason John preached repentance was because he was preparing the way for the wonderful "grace" that was about to come. John knew we must first repent before we can fully receive and accept the benefits of God's grace. "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." John 1:17 As I read Luke, the awareness of my sinful heart moved me to again ask for the Lord's forgiveness. Because God is so good, I was then filled with the grace of Jesus, and how sweet the taste!

I was reminded of how much God valued King David's repentant heart, a man who committed just about every sin possible, but was also known as a "man after God's own heart", Why? Because David humbled himself before the Lord, acknowledged his sin, and sought forgiveness. "Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit." Psalms 32:2

Today, are you walking in grace or stuck in your sins? Acknowledging our need for God, turning from our sins, and thanking God for sending His son Jesus Christ to pay for our sins, frees us from the bondage and condemnation of sin. "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus," Romans 8:1 Once we have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we can continually seek God's throne of grace and experience His fullness. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 The thief is our sin and the fullness of life (peace and joy) come from the grace of Jesus!

I pray that if you do not know Jesus, you would pray for the Lord to save you right this minute. You can go to http://www.c28.com/eternallife.asp to find out how! And If you already know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I pray you would savor God's amazing grace after you have taken your sins up to His throne of grace. "May The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face towards you and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26
