We continue to learn from Paul's letter to Philippi, as we dive into chapter two. Seeing Paul's request to make his joy complete in verse two, Pastor Brandon leads us in understanding what that means and the aspects of living out that charge by Paul. Teaching us that as a body of believers living this life together we should cultivate a spirit of unity, express humility and selflessness, and choose to serve one another diligently; just as in Christ came to serve and not be served. Through chapter two we ultimately learn that joy is worth fighting for! - Key Verses // Philippians 2 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

In a world of bad news God blesses us with good news, and todays good news is that He gives you a new heart! Today Pastor Brandon leads us in a study of our hearts. Showing, through the Scriptures, that our hearts of stone are replaced by hearts of flesh; but our old hearts can still try to take the lead in our actions at times. We learn that there are a few key ways in which we can tell which heart is leading in our lives; the way we speak, the way we use our resources, and the passion in which we live. As God changes us from the inside out we get to see in a new way. Relizing that our new heart brings new life! - Key Verses // Ezekiel 11:19 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

Having to deal with a Mom who has lost her kids can be scary, but scarier is a fool bent on folly (Proverbs 17:12). Today we dive into the importance of mothers in believer's lives as well as the dangers of having foolish company and not being properly equipped for, what Paul writes as, "the good fight of faith". By looking at Ephesians 6 we learn about the armor of God and the importance of it in a Christian's life as well as the importance in a Mothers life. - Key Verses // 2 Timothy 1:5-7, Ephesians 6:10-17 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

This week in our "Good News" series, Pastor Brandon lets us in on the good news that help has come! We dive into the scriptures today to see that THE Helper, the Holy Spirit is not just a force or some mystical power but the third person of the trinity. Who helps align our thoughts with His thoughts, our actions with His actions; He helps us desire what is holy and brings life to our feelings. The good news is, the Holy Spirit is our helper! - Key Verses // John 16:7,13 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

We continue our "Good News" series this week, with a focus on the good news that we are a part of God's family. God wants to be known as our Father, rather than to be known as just a master. Pastor Brandon teaches us that we are heirs because God is our heavenly Father. That we can approach Him through relationship and not be relegated just by rules. And when we shift our thinking to be relationship minded, then how we relate with the Father changes how we relate with each other. - Key Verses // John 1:12, Galatians 4:4-7 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

Happy Easter! We start a new series this week, "Good News". Focused on the story of the gospel, and carrying with us this idea that the resurrection is the best news ever! Especially to a Christian. Through studying the life of Jesus we learn that every miracle He performed was "good news" after "bad news". Through the life provided to us by the resurrection of Jesus, God chooses to still work in our lives, working to complete the work which He started at the resurrection. The good news of the Cross and Jesus's resurrection, and what they accomplished, is followed by the good news of the Father continually at work in us to make us more like Jesus! Through the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, we can learn that our bad news loses to His good news! - Key Verses // Mark 16:1-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

As we wrap up our Miracles Vol. 1 series, we conclude with the miracle of Jesus settling the storm. Through this message, and this miracle, Pastor Brandon teaches us that truth known must be lived out as we walk through this life. Because there will be storms that challenge the truth of God's love for us. But with Jesus and by trusting in Him and what He has said, no storm will be too big! - Key Verses // Mark 4:1-41 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

In part 6 of our "Miracles Vol. 1" series we look at the miracle of the paralyzed man who was lowered through the roof. Through the perseverance of his friends and him, they decided to dig through the roof of the home Jesus was preaching in, lowering him into the building and at Jesus' feet. Seeing their faith, Jesus forgave his sins, then healed his paralysis. As we go through the intricate details of this story, Pastor Brandon teaches us that we need people around us that will push us towards Jesus, even when its difficult. That the faith of those around you can change your life, and that Jesus' miracles demonstrate that He has the authority to forgive sins. Through this story we learn that we have to do what we can, and let God do what only He can do. - Key Verses // Mark 2:1-12 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

This week, we look at the miracle of Jesus walking on water. When the disciples were instructed to go to the other side of the sea of Galilee, they set off. Yet as they were traveling and were far off from the land, they were experiencing difficulty because they were against the wind and waves. During this difficulty, Jesus made His way out to them. Through this miracle, Pastor Brandon points out how there can be times when we are where God wants us to be yet still face difficulty. Through this miracle we can learn that even if there is difficulty or trials, when we respond to what Jesus tells us to do, amazing things happen. But to get through the difficulties of this life we need to keep our eyes on Jesus. - Key Verses // Matthew 14:22-33 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

This week in our "Miracles Vol.1" series we dive into the life of Jonah, and into the miracles that happen in his life. Most of us are familiar with the story of Jonah, but do we see the true miracle that is often overlooked by the miracle of the Big Fish? Pastor Brandon teaches us through Jonah's story that running from God never makes things any better; Jonah ran away from God but learned quickly that there is nowhere we can go that is away from Him. Then, after being swallowed by the Big Fish, Jonah teaches us by example that even in our lowest moments we can cry out to God and be heard. God can get us where He wants us to go, even if we take a detour along the way. But the biggest miracle Pastor Brandon shows us from the scriptures is that God still had mercy and compassion for the Ninevites after they repented! Jonah missed it though, showing that sometimes we can feel so right that God's grace feels wrong. But Pastor Brandon encourages us, that you shouldn't limit God's love, because if you do it will then limit your life. - Key Verses // Jonah 1-4 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

We dive into the Story of Naaman this week in our "Miracles Vol. 1" series! A soldier who struggled with leprosy secretly. But when a little girl said that he could be healed by a prophet in Samaria, he went off to get healed. When he found the house of the prophet after speaking with the king of Israel, he expected the miracle to take place how he wanted it to; with a grand gesture, and unction of heaved and a wave of the hand. But he was told to bathe in the Jordan seven times. After going off in a rage because the miracle wasn't going to happen how he wanted, and being convinced by a servant of his, he finally did as the Prophet had instructed. And Naaman was healed to a state better than anticipated. Through Naaman's story, Pastor Brandon teaches us that Miracles only happen when we connect with the Author of Life; and though we often look for miracles in the wrong place, if we choose to follow God's direction for us then we will get where He wants us to go. - Key Verses // 1 Kings 5:1-14 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

Continuing in our "Miracles Vol. 1" series, we look into the miracle of provision for a widow and her son. When Elijah stopped the rains and caused a draught, He promised to a widow who had given up that she would not run out of flour or oil until the rains began again. Through this story, Pastor Brandon teaches that our private life should be affected by our relationship with God. It should impact others and lead them to be closer with Him. Because when we trust God together, big things happen. - Key Verses // 1 Kings 17:1-16 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

This week we start a new series "Miracles", going through the Bible and looking at just some of the many miracles performed throughout the Scriptures. We start by looking at the miracle of manna, the provision provided by the Lord that the Israelites had in the wilderness before the promised land. With this miracle, we learn that God's miracles happen every day! God provided manna for the Israelites every day, except for the Sabbath, for forty years! While it is easy to lose sight of the everyday miracles that God performs, the story of manna reminds us that today's blessing are supposed to be enjoyed today, regardless of how big or small they may be. To enjoy God's goodness every day, we must choose to see God's goodness every day. Because His miracles show His heart. - Key Verses // Hebrews 13:7-8, Exodus 16 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

The foundational concept of this series is knowing that the relationships we kindle need to flow from the love that God has for us. With God at our table we can share our joy, our hopes and our pain. When we include the Lord at our table we learn that sharing brings caring. Because God is always at our table, and we either include Him or we don't. - Key Verses // 1 John 4:19, Philippians 2:1-4 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

This is the second week out of our 3 week series "Table for Three". Where we are going into depth about how our relationships should look as Christians. We have to invite God to the table and acknowledge Him, because He is where true love flows from. Knowing that there is an enemy out there that hates our relationships and wants us to miss the signs of love, should encourage us to not be silent with love. God was not silent about His love, neither should we. Because a love unshown is a love unknown. - Key Verses // 1 John 4:19, Mark 1:9-11 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

Through biblical examples, they will teach us that we are made complete in God's love and not in the love of our spouse or anyone else; we cant let work substitute for love; and a healthy marriage is built and sustained on God's love. See, God's love should be the source of our love. - Key Verses // 1 John 4:19, 9-12 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

Allowing us to live a life on God's rails. Guiding us safely to the places He wants us to go. - Key Verses // Psalms 127:1-2, Proverbs 14:12, Hebrews 12:11 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

When we trust God with our stuff and with our finances, we see how it changes us for the better.

Pastor Brandon teaches us that loosening our grip on stuff, tightens our grip on peace. - Key verses // Psalms 127:1-2, Proverbs 14:12, Matthew 6:19-21 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive
