Every Friday Night @ 7 pm
Do you have hurts you need to heal from?
Do you have a habit that has you in bondage?
Do you have a hangup you need to get over?
The word recovery is not just about addictions.It's about all the things that keep you doing the wrong stuff, and feeling lousy about yourself. It's about needing an INNER-Change.
No one walks down the road of recovery alone. Why? Because you can't do it all by yourself. Yes, you have to want it. Yes, you're the one who has to do the work. Yes, you're the one who got you here. But you need the love, understanding, and accountability of a group of people who have "been there-done that". And most important of all, you need to know the true higher power- Jesus Christ.
CELEBRATE RECOVERY’S EIGHT RECOVERY PRINCIPLES
The Road to Recovery - Based on the Beatitudes
Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. (Step 1)
“Happy are those who know that they are spiritually poor.”
Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. (Step 2)
“Happy are those how mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. (Step 3)
“Happy are the meek.”
Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. (Steps 4 and 5)
“Happy are the pure in heart.”
Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 and 7)
“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires”
Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Steps 8 and 9)
“Happy are the merciful.”
“Happy are the peacemakers”
Reserve a time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. (Steps 10 and 11)
Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words. (Step 12)
“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.”
