The
purpose of “Celebrate Recovery” is to fellowship and
celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the 8 beatitudes and 12
biblical steps. This experience allows us to “be changed”. We open the
door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another. In
addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our lives’
problems.
By working the twelve steps and applying their Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the steps we discover our personal, loving and forgiving higher power - Jesus Christ.
This recovery program is based
on God's Word, the Bible. When Jesus taught the Sermon on the Mount, he
began by stating "Eight Ways to Be Happy." Today we call
them the Beatitudes. From a conventional viewpoint most of these
statements didn't make sense. They sounded like contradictions.
But when you fully understand what Jesus is saying, you'll realize that these
eight principles are God's road to recovery, wholeness, growth and spiritual
maturity.
This recovery program is forward-looking. Rather than wallowing in the past, or dredging up and rehearsing painful memories over and over, Celebrate Recovery focuses on the future. Regardless of what has already happened, the solution is to start making wise choices now and depend on Christ's power to help me make those changes and depend on Christ's power to help me make those changes.
This recovery program emphasizes
personal responsibility. Instead of playing the "accuse and
excuse" game of victimization, this program helps people face up to their
own poor choices and deal with what they can do something about. We
cannot control all that happens to us. But we can control how
we respond to everything. That is a secret of happiness. When we
stop wasting time fixing the blame, we have more energy to fix the problem.
When you stop hiding your own faults and stop hurling accusations at others,
then the healing power of Christ can begin working in your mind, will and
emotions.
This recovery program emphasized spiritual commitment to Jesus Christ. The 3rd principle calls for people to make a total surrender of their lives to Christ. Lasting recovery cannot happen without this step. everybody needs Jesus. Celebrate Recovery Celebrate Recovery is thoroughly evangelistic in nature. Changed lives always attract others who want to be changed.
This recovery program utilizes
the biblical truth that we need each other in order to grow spiritually and
emotionally. It is built around small group interaction and the
fellowship of a caring community. There are many therapies, growth
programs, and counselors today that are built around one-on-one interaction.
But Celebrate Recovery is built on the New Testament principle that we don't
get will by ourselves. We need each other. Fellowship and
accountability are two important components of spiritual growth.
This recovery program addresses all types of habits, hurts and hang-ups. Some recovery programs deal only with alcohol or drugs or another single problem. But Celebrate Recovery is a "large umbrella" program under which a limitless number of issues can be dealt with. Only about 1 out of 3 who attend Celebrate Recovery are dealing with alcohol or drugs. We deal with dozens of other issues.
