Celebrate Recovery

Summary

Alcoholism - divorce - sexual abuse - codependency - domestic violence - drug addition - sexual addiction These words are about more than "issues”. They're about people who sit as close to us as the next pew - or our own. People struggling with problems that sermons or Bible studies alone won't solve. But there is a way the church can help the hurting move beyond their wounds to experience the healing and liberty of Christ. This eight-part sermon series on the principles of Celebrate Recovery fills a long-standing need in the church in its role as Christ's healing agent. Developed by John Baker and Rick Warren of the renowned Saddleback Church, Celebrate Recovery’s life-changing effectiveness has gained it an explosive, grass-roots popularity.  Drawn from the Beatitudes, this sermon series helps people resolve painful problems in the context of the church as a whole. Rather than setting up an isolated recovery community, it helps participants and their churches come together and discover new levels of care, acceptance, trust, and grace.
