The State of the Heart

Pastor Joe Saragusa

Right now the condition of our economy is at the forefront of America. Our economy needs recovery. But that's not all. We also need recovery in our homes, in our marriages, in our businesses. Most importantly we need healing and wholeness in our hearts.

During tough times like these, it's easy to ask, "WHY?" Why is this happening to me? Why are things so hard? Why am I going through this? Why is there so much suffering and hardship all around me? The key is not to look at our surroundings, but to look at the heart and place our trust and hope in God alone. I ask you, what is the state of your heart today? We all know the state of the economy, but what is the state of your heart? This is one question that only you can answer.



Power of One
 
One person CAN make a difference.
This is YOUR opportunity.
Who will you invite?


Saturday, March 21st
(5:30 PM @ The Hub)
Sunday, March 22nd
(9 & 11 AM @ The Ramada)


Change a life.  Make a difference.
The Power of One.


Be a part of one of the biggest weekends in the history of Celebrate Church.  We are believing for over 1,000 people to attend and hundreds of lives to be changed!  But it can only happen if you participate.


Here's how you can be part of the vision of
"THE POWER OF ONE":

1) Pray!
Start praying now for the person or people that you will invite to Celebrate on March 21st or March 22nd.

2) Invest & Invite!
Start investing in those relationships and then take a step of faith and invite them to come to Celebrate with you on March 21st or March 22nd.  Did you know that statistics tell us that 95% of unchurched people would come to church if they were simply invited by a friend.

3) Believe!
Believe in faith that the people you invite come, and that their lives will be changed through the power of Jesus Christ on that weekend.

Change a life.  Make a difference.
The Power of One!

Making My Life Count
...
Pastor Joe Saragusa

When I think about famous people, particularly in the Bible, who made an impact with their life - ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary tasks - I wonder just how many of those people really knew that God wants so badly to work in their life.

Before we can make our lives count, there are several questions that we will all need to answer eventually. The question of identity - Who am I?... The question of responsibility - What am I going to do with my life?... The question of priority - What is really the most important thing in my life?... The question of difficulty - How much am I willing to commit to what I'm going to give my life for?

Take a Look

Pastor Joe Saragusa

Over the past years, I have read about and heard the talk about how the way you see yourself determines to a large degree the way you act and react in life -- that your self worth and your self esteem tend to be a governing factor in life.

If you see yourself as a loser then you'll end up, to a large degree, acting like a loser. If you see yourself as a victim, you tend to let people victimize you. Bottom line is you set yourself up. On the other hand, if you see yourself as being successful, then you tend to follow the new path of success rather than the snares of the old way of living.

What's In Your Wallet
 
Personal Budget Workshop - TUESDAY, MARCH 24

Register Now

Not having a budget is the #1 reason why most people struggle and fail financially in America --- but it doesn't have to be that way.


That is why Celebrate Church is hosting a Free Personal Budget Workshop to help people organize and achieve victory in their personal finances at the Water Tower HUB.


What is it?
A real workshop where we will go step-by-step how to set up and how to use a budget for our personal finances.
 
Who should attend?
Anyone who wants to maximize the impact of the money God has given to them to manage.
Anyone who ever struggles with money or bills.
Anyone who is tired of their finances being a mess and is ready for their financial life to be successful.

Do I really need a budget?
Almost everyone needs a budget.  The only people who don't need to limit their spending are people who have unlimited incomes.
 
How much does it cost?
The class is FREE! All that is required is to preregister so we have enough materials.
 
Is it complicated?
No. It's easier than you ever thought possible once you know what to do to maintain a budget.  You will leave this night with a completed personal budget in your hands.
 
Can I invite or bring others?
Absolutely.  Invite anyone you know that might benefit from this information.  It could change their life!!

B.C. - A.D. 
Pastor Joe Saragusa
 
I was thinking that just a little over two months ago, we were answering the question, "Why is Christmas such a big deal"?  It is because Jesus was no ordinary baby.  It was God who came to earth, and that news was bigger than when man landed on the moon!  It was like a movie.  God invaded the earth and split history into B.C. and A.D.  Every time you are involved in a transaction or a legal document, your reference point is Jesus Christ -- like today, March 27, 2009. 
 
In a couple of weeks, we will ask another question:  "Why did Jesus come and give His life for humanity and defy the grips and sting of death"?

FAREWELL PARTY FOR PASTORS DAN AND MEGAN VALENTINE - THIS SUNDAY! 
 
Good bye
 
Join us THIS SUNDAY, March 29th, at the Hub in Water Tower Place (65 Riley Road) from 2:00pm to 5:00pm for a farewell party in honor of Pastors Dan and Megan Valentine.
 
Please feel free to bring any cards, letters or pictures you would like to give to them.  It will be a casual "walk through" style reception, and you can show up any time between 2:00 and 5:00 to say your goodbyes and thank them for all they have done for the entire Celebrate family through the years. 
 
Light snacks, dessert and coffee will be provided. 
 

 
THE WARRIOR - MEN'S ENCOUNTER
 
The warrior
Men become men in the company of men. What better way to see that happen then at The Warrior Men's Encounter? 
 
There you will discover God's design for YOU (as a man), develop a workable "Gameplan for Life", and build lifelong relationships in a fun and relaxed way.
 
God never intended us to do life on our own. Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, "A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer".
 
Join us May 15-17, 2009 at The Warrior Men's Encounter and let's do life together!
