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

In the last part of our "Table for Three" series, Pastors Brandon and Krista dive into how to properly communicate in a marriage, and how to do so in a way the honors God and your spouse. 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
