Celebration Center

Have you ever felt as if you were in a rut, and you just wish God would say SOMETHING to you? Often we can feel like that we haven’t heard from God in a long time, but what if the issues wasn’t that He wasn’t saying anything, what if we had to learn how to listen? This week we will see that God is Always speaking to us, and that looks different in so many ways! Let’s learn how we can listen better to hear what He is telling us!

As we finish our series on Beginnings, we will ask ourselves the question “How can I be a part of what God is doing in the world?” We constantly mess up and we talked about that last week when we discussed “the fall.” But does our mess up take away the promises and covenants that God started with Adam and carried throughout scripture? What happens when we break a covenant? What price is paid? How do we move forward today, and how can we partner with God for HIS best for us?

What’s your problem? We probably have all heard that at some point directed at us, or maybe have even asked that question to some one else. As we continue our series on “Beginnings” we are going to ask ourself that question, “What’s MY problem?” Genesis 3 points us toward this with some harsh truth, but also begins the story of the most amazing redemption in history!

Last week we asked “Why are we here?” Today we will ask “Who am I?” Genesis says that God created us, but who did He create you to be? If you were created in His image, that must mean that life is more than just day to day, job to job, task to task living right? We were made in the IMAGE of God, He gave us some incredible attributes and incredible responsibilities, and we have the privilege of living with HIS stamp on our lives.

In Jesus’ sermon on the mount, he says “Blessed are the poor in Spirit,” but what does that mean? The word “Poor” often has a negative impact when we hear it, and often we spend our lives trying not to be “poor,” or reaching out to help the “poor.” But what if we are missing the point. What if poor means more than we think it does, and what if we are supposed to apply some aspects of being “poor” into our own life?

The most basic question of life is this: Why are we here? It’s foundational for virtually every religion and philosophy. It’s a universal question. Today we start a new series called Beginnings, and we start with that question…why are we here? We definitely were made for a reason and with a purpose, and in Genesis 1 we see the beginning of OUR creation, purpose, and meaning!

Join us as we finish our Advent series on ReDiscovering Christmas with a special Christmas Eve service.

Join us this week as we continue our Advent series on ReDiscovering Christmas with Love.

Join us this week as we continue in our Advent series with Joy.

Peace is something that is hard to come by this season. Christmas brings about chaos, shopping frenzy, family drama, and the season can turn from Joy to chaos. In the midst of our storms, Jesus offers us a peace that only he can bring, and this peace started with the proclamation to a group of shepherds that PEACE was born!

In the past couple years, our lives have been rocked with uncertainty. From covid, to politics, to mandates…so much is changing and its easy to lose hope. This Sunday we kick off the Christmas season here at Celebration Church, and we will talk about how in the midst of crazy, we get to enter the Advent season with Hope. Hope for who He is, and we can be reminded by those in scripture just how full we can be when we never lose Hope.

Join us for our first annual Thanksgathering service as people reflect and share why they are thankful this year.

Join us this week as Pastor Kelly Armstrong from Center Church in Spokane WA shares with us about being thankful and how it can transform our perspective and lives.

A person who lives a life of gratitude has a different spirit about them. You want to be around them. They change the environment in the room. They have a freedom about them. Where does that come from? Join us as we discuss The Freeing Power of Gratitude.

Gratitude has an opposite, a nemesis, an archvillain…the GRUMBLE! When we decide to look at what we don’t have, or what we WANT instead of what God is providing, then we can quickly lose focus on what He is actively doing for us in the moment, or what He ahs already done for us in the past. This week we will look at people who complained, had a lack of gratitude, and who grumbled when God was actively working in their trials, and learn how to have a spirit of gratitude instead!

Join us this week as we have guest speaker, Pastor Jeff Farmer share with us about prayer and its importance in our lives.

Gratitude is a fundamental ingredient to a deep and meaningful life, but can often be overlooked or forgotten about. Gratitude however is more than saying thank you, it is a lifestyle that was imbedded into us from creation, and God responds to it in incredible ways!

Patience, we probably could use more of it, but do we REALLY want to ask God for more? That prayer comes with major implications that we may not be ready for! What does God say about patience, and why does he MAKE us wait at times? And what is our attitude when we wait? We will look at Acts chapters 1 and 2 to see what happened when we wait, and what happens when God shows up in our waiting!

Sometimes it feels like others are on fire for Jesus, but when we evaluate ourselves we don’t see the same passion in our lives that we see in others. What fuels their passion, what fuels ours? What robs our passions from us, and how do we keep our from burning out? Paul and Silas give us an amazing example about how to stay passionate in our mission to spread the love of Jesus, and tips to not burn out!

Join us this week as guest speaker Jeff Farmer challenges us with sharing the Gospel.
