Rhythm of Celebration

Series: Rhythms. the way of Jesus

Passage: Philippians 4:4-9

Message: The Rhythm of Celebration

Scripture: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say rejoice!” What an admonition. How is this possible? 

Does this mean that no matter my circumstances I am to act like I’m in “party mode?” What does this verse mean to you, especially since you know that Paul wrote it from prison (and Roman prisons were not easy places). 

Accountability: Share with your group, what are your “joy robbers?” What one thing can you decide to do today which will bring more true (not circumstantial) joy to your daily life?

Verse 8 is a pretty clear recommendation about what to put into our minds. Based on this list, what do you want to delete from your daily input of messages?

Transformation:  Richard Foster writes, “We will not know genuine joy until there is a transforming work in us.” Do you agree? Do you disagree? Why? Then tackle this, can your non-believing, non-transformed friends experience joy?

Celebration Weekend

We celebrate small steps and momentous milestones. This weekend we celebrate commitment and life change by covenanting with those being baptized, cheering on adults in this symbolic declaration of faith and stepping up to point the children to Jesus. We commit to walking alongside those professing their faith in Christ and reach out to those transferring into our family, creating space for them to find community and their place of service amongst us. This is the weekend we celebrate the visual reminder of how God is restoring and transforming the world one relationship at a time and lean into the known of the much more we are called to do. Celebrate with us!
