Serve the House

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

Vision

John 12:26 “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”

At the center of the Kingdom is service:  first to Christ and then to others.  Jesus always inspires us to serve others in His name and with His authority.  Serve Christ with great confidence and know the God will cover you with honor.  This honor will give you favor with the people you serve: their walls will fall, their courage will rise and they will know Him more because of you.

Prayer

Pray that our team will be baptized with a new, radical sense of obedience to follow Jesus wherever He goes.  Pray for confidence for the team as we sense the prompting and leading of God.  Pray that we would serve with a deep sense of fulfillment and purpose – knowing that because we serve, others will know Christ.

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!

Prayer

Pray that God awakens people’s spirit when they walk through the doors.  Pray that each team member recognize the important role they play in seeing people won to Christ.  Pray that God’s presence in this House is tangible and fills our heart with love and joy.

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

Vision

2 Samuel 23 “These are the names of David’s mighty men…”

We are looking into the lives of David’s mighty men and recognizing that they embodied certain characteristics that we, as a church, should embody today.  These mighty leaders were (and Celebration should be ) #1 intense, #2 willing to do what what no one else would do and #3 spiritual. To be spiritual is to be sensitive to the Spirit of God & people.  They LOVED their King.  They trusted him enough to stick their necks out for him.  Be sensitive to the spiritual anointing that’s upon you.  Boldly trust your King and, as you serve, people will sense a regal extravagance from you.  Others will be better for it and you will too!

Information

This Thursday, March 11th!  Women’s Lunch in Cedar Park at 11:30am (Twin Creeks Country Club) and Women’s Dinner in Georgetown at 6:30pm (Heroes Auditorium).  Only $10 get you and a first-time-Celebration-friend in the door!

Celebration Serves – projects and website to launch next Sunday, March 14th.  Be thinking of creative ways YOU can serve your city for only $100.

Prayer

Lord, pour your anointing on us as we serve today.  We want to be sensitive to your presence.  Please open our spiritual eyes & ears to what you are doing.  Thank you for your church and for the opportunity to serve.  We do it with a cheerful heart!  Amen!

V.I.P. Thought for Sunday, February 28th & Wednesday, March 3rd

Vision

2 Samuel 23 “These are the names of David’s mighty men: Josheb-Basshebeth…Eleazar…Shammah…(great) were the exploits of the three mighty men.”

Just as these men were stand-outs in the Kingdom, we want to stand-out for our King today.  Here’s our second look at the qualities that made King David’s men “mighty” ~ they’re the same qualities that make a church mighty.

#2 Mighty Churches Are Willing to Do What No One Else Will Do.  Before we serve let’s think, how can I go above-and-beyond in my service today?  How can I better meet the needs of those I serve?  How can I better represent Christ in my second-mile attitude?  Ultimately, are we willing to GO where no one else is going?  Let’s stand out today…and take time this week to think and dream and ponder how the Holy Spirit would have us serve with more might.

Information

Baptism Sunday, February 28th - 5pm baptism & 4pm class.  Go public with your faith! Sign up online or at the Welcome Center.

Prayer

Lord, please give us creativity into things no one has ever thought before, courage to do what no one else has done, and vision go where no one else has gone.  We are at Your service!  Amen.

V.I.P. Thought for Sunday, February 21st & Wednesday the 24th

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

Vision

2 Samuel 23 “These are the names of David’s mighty men: Josheb-Basshebeth…Eleazar…Shammah…(great) were the exploits of the three mighty men.”

Just as these men were stand-outs in the Kingdom, we want to stand-out for our King today.  The qualities that made King David’s men “mighty” are the same qualities that make a church mighty.  We’ll look at these over the next few weeks.

#1 Mighty Churches are Intense:  let’s be good at what we’re supposed to be good at; let’s be unforgettable in God’s eyes today; let’s serve with an intense enthusiasm; let’s love with an intense love.

Information

February 21st is Growth Track Sunday! Connect • Grow • Serve classes are at 6pm on the Georgetown Campus (3:30pm in Spanish).

Prayer

Your Holy Spirit is what sets us apart.  Your Holy Spirit is what makes us mighty.  Your Holy Spirit gives us a healthy dose of intensity.  Cover us as we serve Your people.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen!

V.I.P. Thought for Sunday February, 14th & Wednesday, February 17th

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

Vision

2 Samuel 23:16 ”So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.”

King David was surrounded by a number of leaders and servants, but there were three who stood out:  his “three mighty men.”  You and I can learn from these men and should desire to be used in a special way as they were.  (I don’t know about you, but I want to be a stand-out Christian and a leader in God’s Kingdom.)  First, the mighty men knew how to fight.  They did not run away from challenges, but directly into them.  Second, they picked up on the longing of their King.  We must be intuitive, having the eyes, ears & heart of Jesus Christ and Celebration Church.  Third, they could submit.  These three had a captain named Abishai (see vs. 18-19).  You and I must be team players: teachable, trainable, correctable.
