What happens when God seems silent, the future is uncertain, and His promises feel far away? In Week 1 of our new series, Make Way, we explore Isaiah 40 and discover how God was preparing the way for Jesus centuries before John the Baptist was born. Through John's story, we're reminded that God speaks comfort in our discouragement, works even when we cannot see it, and remains faithful to His promises. Join us as we discover that God's ultimate purpose isn't simply to change our circumstances, but to bring us into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

God is doing something exciting at Celebration Church, but the question before us is not only what God has done, it’s where He is taking us next. In Growing Together, Reaching Out, we’ll discover God’s vision for a church that is deeply connected to its community, intentionally develops disciples, empowers every person to use their gifts, and invests in the next generation. Ephesians 4 reminds us that the church grows “as each part does its work,” which means every person has a role to play. We’re growing together, reaching out together, and believing the best is still ahead.

We abide in relationships with those we know love us. God demonstrated his love for us by sending Jesus to sacrifice himself on the cross. This love is agape love, which offers itself without need of anything in return. This is the greatest expression of love toward us.

The fruit of our lives is expressed in words and actions. Everyone will produce some kind of fruit, whether it is good or bad. Abiding in Christ offers us all we need to have a harvest of good from our lives. However, living disconnected from Jesus will result in fruit that looks like the world. We will be identified by the fruit of our lives.

Change is an unavoidable part of life, and it often arrives when we least expect it. In this message, Pastor Tim Zakarian explores how God can use both painful and positive changes to deepen our faith, shape our character, and draw us closer to Him. Even when our circumstances change, God’s presence and faithfulness remain constant. Learn how to face change by choosing to Surrender, Trust, Learn, and Follow God through every season.

God often shows up in unexpected ways, to unexpected people, and accomplishes what no amount of human ingenuity could ever produce. In Acts 10, Cornelius shows us how one person leaned into God faithfully, without knowing what to expect, and then watched God do far more than he could have imagined. This Sunday, we’ll explore what we can learn from his example and how we can position ourselves to recognize and respond when God is at work.

A good gardener knows when it is time to prune parts of a crop in order to produce a better yield. God knows the areas of our lives that need to be pruned, as well, in order to reveal the best versions of ourselves. Sometimes it is something sinful that must be pruned because it is hindering our growth. Other times it may be something good that is getting in the way. Abiding in Christ means embracing the correction that comes from God in order to produce a great spiritual harvest.

Today we’re celebrating what God is doing both here in our community and around the world! We’ll talk about why missions isn’t just for a select few, it’s something every follower of Jesus is called to be a part of. Plus, we’ll hear stories and God moments from our Mexico Missions Team and Hope Encounter 2026 Team.

In this message from Daniel 3, we explore the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and what it means to stand firm in our faith when the world tells us to bow. We look at the ways fear, comfort, safety, and the opinions of others can become the things we place above God. Even when doing what is right leads us into the fire, God promises to meet us there and never leave us. And through Peter’s story, we’re reminded that even when we’ve already bowed, it’s never too late for God to redeem and call us back.

In a grape vineyard, a vine is the vital life source for the production of fruit. In the same way, abiding in Christ is the way in which we receive all of the spiritual nourishment necessary to live the way of Jesus in the world. Without this vital connection, we are incapable of producing the fruits of the spirit and becoming who God wants us to be.

Gratitude is more than saying "thank you," it is a perspective that transforms the way we see God, our circumstances, and the people around us. In this final message of our This Is Us series, we discover how grateful hearts naturally become generous lives, reflecting the heart of Jesus to a world in need. Join us as we explore what it means to become the kind of church, and the kind of people, who live with open hands because of God's incredible generosity toward us.

The Bible was never meant merely to fill our minds with information—it was given to renew our minds and transform our lives. “Reading the Bible for Transformation” explores the life-giving power of God’s Word and five practical ways to give it greater influence in our daily lives. As we read, welcome the Spirit’s work, memorize, meditate, and pray Scripture, God uses His truth to shape us increasingly into the likeness of Jesus. - Pastor Kevin Wilber guest speaker

This Sunday’s message, “Identity in Christ,” will look at what it means to live from the truth that Christ now lives in us. Through Galatians 2:20, we’ll explore how God’s truth confronts the lies of the enemy and reminds us that we are accepted, secure, and significant in Christ. When we know who we are in Jesus, we can stop striving to prove ourselves and begin walking by the Spirit.

What does biblical excellence really look like? Is God asking us to be perfect, or simply faithful? In this message, we discover that excellence isn't about performance or perfection, it's about responding to a God who first gave His very best for us. Join us as we explore how living with intentionality, faithfulness, and wholehearted devotion can honor God, serve people well, and reflect Jesus to the world around us.
