Friday Night At Celebrate Recovery

I don’t believe there’s another day of the week I look forward to quite as much as Friday. Most people I know think of Friday and CHEER because it ushers in the weekend, a time of rest, a time to relax, a time to let loose and enjoy family and friends. I love Fridays for an entirely different reason…

Celebrate Recovery!

I think those words should be like size 225 font, bold, underlined, shining, glowing, animated…SOMETHING that makes them pop out! It’s EXCITING! I LOVE Friday nights, LOVE Celebrate Recovery; because I’ve experienced the life change offered through the program, I’ve experienced the hope, the grace, the mercy, the forgiveness, the FREEDOM!

This may be news to you, but we ALL have mess in our lives. We’ve all made mistakes. We’ve all been hurt or hurt someone else. I’m not making this up. If you don’t want to take my word for it, read His (Romans 3:23). And it’s because of this mess that we ALL need recovery from SOMETHING…a hurt, a habit, a hang-up. Recovery isn’t about overcoming drug and alcohol addiction, recovery is about OVERCOMING. That’s it. The end. Period.

Recovery is about OVERCOMING.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10 NLT


God looks through the mess, through the hurt, through the habit, through the hang-up, and he looks straight into the HEART! He sees what CAN be, what SHOULD be, what WILL be, if only we, I, you, will willing submit to EVERY change he wants to make in your life. He will make you NEW!

Are you READY?

That’s the question.

Are you READY?

I hope so. I pray so. My heart beats with the anticipation of witnessing this community changed FOREVER; set FREE from the bondage of sin and the prison of past hurts.

Come out tonight to Celebrate Recovery and learn what it means to no longer cower as the VICTIM, but stand VICTORIOUS!
