This weekly thought is designed to inspire, inform and focus Celebration Serve Teams around why we do what we do.

Vision

Genesis 28:12&13, 16&17 “Then (Jacob) dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: ‘I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants…’  Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.’ And he was afraid and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!’”

God is in this place!  Awake!  Serve God with gladness!  People often come through church doors sleepy and unaware, but our prayer is that they will wake up at Celebration!  They will hear God’s voice and they will declare, “This is the House of God!  This is the gate of heaven!”  When you serve, you open doorways (kid doors, youth doors, front doors)…doorways to heaven so that many will receive Christ and be saved!  God is in this place!
