Praying With Focus
Pastor Joe Saragusa

Have you ever thought for a moment about some of the things we pray about?  While I recognize the importance of praying for the hurts and challenges in our own lives, especially in the setting of a prayer meeting or a Life Group, I am challenged when I see Christians spending more time praying for our own discomforts than we do for the purposes of God to impact this world.

I believe we as Christ followers often miss out on the opportunity to partner with God to pray the kind of powerful prayers that change the world.  I hope you can allow me to challenge you to reach a new level of focus in your prayer life, whether you attend Celebrate or perhaps are one of the hundreds of people around the world that read this letter each week.

The Bible is filled with examples of powerfully focused and strategic prayers and prayer warriors.

During our fun and interactive Membership Forum on Saturday, August 16 you will learn more about the mission, vision, theology, culture and heart of Celebrate, as well as be given an opportunity to join as an official member.

For some people, church membership can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, partnership with the vision of a local church is designed to be a rewarding experience for all involved. Joining a church signifies that you have found a place where you can encourage and be encouraged, where you can grow and help others grow.

If you are not yet a member or perhaps just want to learn more about Celebrate Church, now is the time to take that next step!

Our next "Doing Church as a Team" Membership Forum is on Saturday, August 16th at the Radisson Celebration Orlando Hotel (located at 2900 Parkway Blvd.) from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.  We only offer this class four times per year, so take advantage of this special Saturday opportunity.  Free Coffee will be provided!

Childcare will not be available at the membership forum, however sitter assistance is available if needed.  Please contact Rachel for more information and details.




Celebrate Israel
 
Celebrate Israel Trip!
April 27 - May 8, 2009
 
Join Pastor Joe on an adventure to the Holy Land and experience the scriptures first-hand.  Walk where Jesus walked, visit the places spoken of in scripture, and see your faith come alive!  This is a once in a lifetime journey that should be experienced by every Christ-follower. 

Visit the birthplace of Jesus in Nazareth; see where the battle of Armageddon will take place near Megiddo; cross over the Sea of Galilee where Jesus walked on the water. Take a drive on the coast of the Dead Sea; have lunch in Abraham's Tent and then effortlessly float in the salt concentrated waters of the Dead Sea.

Jerusalem is the highlight of your trip, where you will see Golgotha near where Jesus was crucified, the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, the Mount of Olives, Hezekiah's Tunnel and even take part in a Seder meal. This trip to Israel allows you to experience just a taste of the Bible's richness and reality. You will never read your Bible in the same way again as you gain a fuller understanding from your Israel experience.

Click here for more details or to register now!

Save the dates and plan on joining your Celebrate family for an amazing spiritual experience.  April 27th - May 8th, 2009!  Email lagsr@aol.com or call the church office at 407-566-0155 for more details.

Three Steps to Spiritual Growth
Pastor Joe Saragusa

All living things grow. Growth is evidence of life. If a child doesn't grow up, that's a tragedy. In the same way, if a believer never grows to spiritual maturity, that's a tragedy in God's eyes.

Celebrate is not about building attendance; it's about building an army of people who love and serve God.  God wants each of us to grow spiritually. And to grow, we've got to be intentional about it.

The Power of Unity
Pastor Joe Saragusa

God loves unity.

"The group of believers were united in their hearts and spirit... In fact, they shared everything."  Acts 4:32
 
"Live in harmony with one another."  Rom.12:16

Unity is so important that the New Testament gives more attention to the unity of the church than to either Heaven or Hell.  God desires for us to experience oneness and harmony with each other.
 
Nothing is more valuable to God than His church. He paid the highest price for it, and it is worth protecting. Part of our responsibility as believers is to protect unity within the fellowship of Christ followers.

We all need to think of ourselves as agents of unity, commissioned by Jesus Christ to promote and preserve fellowship among believers. Here are some practical ways each of us can do this...

The Right Ingredients
Pastor Joe Saragusa

I like pasta.

As a matter of fact, I like it so much that I learned how to make it without even using a recipe (almost).  I know how to mix all of the different ingredients in perfect measure to create that perfect, delectable, mouth- watering sauce.  I think I just heard my stomach growl.

Funny thing about ingredients though.  Mixed in exactly the right amounts, they create an amazing sauce.  But if I were to eat the individual ingredients by themselves, I'm quite sure I wouldn't enjoy the experience.  Have you ever eaten a little seasoning by itself?  Don't try it.  Celery salt?  Bad idea.  Salt & Oregano?  No good.  Bay leaf?  That's the worst.

But we all love a good plate of Pasta & Sauce (or red gravy as we say in New Orleans).  Now that's good!  But without each of those seemingly "bad tasting" ingredients listed above, the sauce would taste bland and flavorless.

Christ-Follower, that's what God wants to do with our life experiences.  Sometimes the seemingly "bad experiences" of life don't taste good and they are hard to swallow.  We don't understand why God would allow such things to be a part of the recipe of our lives.  God takes each of those experiences and uses them as an ingredient in our lives to make us better.

Now is the Time!
Pastor Joe Saragusa

What a powerful word.  One of the most powerful words in the English language.  The word I speak of is that little three-letter word... "NOW".

It seems that so many people I meet are either living in the past or looking forward to the future.  So few realize the power of NOW... today, this moment in time.

Those living in the past are either reveling in past victories or re-playing past regrets.  God never intended for us to live in the past.  I once heard it said that it does no good watering last year's crops.  The past is gone.  The good, the bad & the ugly.  God wants us to let it go and live in the NOW.

It is equally futile to live our lives in the future... always looking forward to that next step.  Always waiting for our ship to come in, or that big break in our lives.  And there are those that look forward to the future in dread.  Living every moment in fear of what is to come... whether it be our kids growing up and moving away, or looking towards the twilight of our lives, or even something as simple as the due date on a bill that we don't know how we are going to pay.

Jesus Himself told us not to worry about tomorrow, that tomorrow will worry about itself.  God wants us to embrace TODAY.  God created us to live in the NOW.  To seize the day, to seize each and every moment in this life we've been given.

This is the word that the Lord has given me as your Pastor... The time is NOW!  You are about to hear me announce some amazing vision for the next step for Celebrate.  I can't wait to share it with you.  The exciting thing is that it's not a vision that is two years or three years or four years away.  It's a NOW vision.  It's a CARPE DIEM vision for TODAY! 

It is time for us as a church and each of us individually to let go of the past and stop worrying about the future and embrace the NOW that God has given us.  Let's step out in faith... NOW.  Let's dream big dreams... NOW.  Let's reach our world with the love of Christ... NOW!

I hope you will join me on this exciting journey, forgetting what is behind and pressing on to live every single day to it's fullest... STARTING WITH TODAY!

Enjoying the Journey,
Pastor Joe
