    Filling Empty Hands | Filling Empty - Part 5
    2026/05/05
    As we continue through our series, we remember what the foundational concept of it is; that when we are feeling empty, we have to remember that God is the only one who truly fills us. He fills us with purposes and gift to serve according to His great purpose. We are designed to be an active part of His creation. For He created us and designed us; He knitted us together in our mother's womb and set us apart before we were born. We are created intentionally, He calls us masterpieces. We are both a work of art and an Artist's work. As God fills us, and we draw close to Him, He shows us where are gifts and talents can be used to honor Him and bring him glory. Ultimately, He shows us that we were create to create. - Key Verses // Matthew 5:6, Ephesians 2:8-10 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

    Filling Empty Eyes | Filling Empty - Part 4
    2026/04/28
    In this series our foundational thought is that when we are filling empty, we have to remember that God is the only one who can truly fill us. This doesn't stop the temptation to try and be filled by the world though. Last week we talked about our minds, this week we are talking about our eyes. What we fill our eyes with matters. “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" Matthew 6:22-23. Our eyes are a pathway to our hearts and the direction we walk in. Vision brings direction. We have to understand that our vision as humans will often lead to wanting the world's desires, which our fading, but pursuing God's vision leads to true life. Pursuing God's vision requires us to trust Him with our lives. Ultimately the vision you see is the version you will be - Key Verses // Matthew 6:22-23 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

    Filling Empty Minds | Filling Empty - Part 3
    2026/04/24
    This week we look at how a God-filled mind brings a God-filled life! We have to understand our foundational concept for this series, when we are feeling empty then we need to understand that God is the only one who can truly fill us. A God-filled mind begins with understanding that setting our minds on the truth is essential. Truth brings us freedom. And thinking on what is true sets us up to live lives that are truly free. The key to what defines truth is found in looking to Jesus. Jesus is the truth with flesh on. Everything he did was truth in action. "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

    Filling Empty Hearts | Filling Empty - Part 2
    2026/04/15
    Knowing that God is the one that fills us when we feel empty is the core idea we have to hold onto as we continue into the second part of our "Filling Empty" series. So often our hearts can get to a place where they feel empty, feeling like they have been poured out or maybe just not poured into. The truth is that God wants to pour into you, but you first have to be open to Him and the truth He wants to pour in. He wants to fill us with more and more of Himself, but we have to open our hearts to Him. Opening our hearts opens our lives. - Key Verses // Matthew 5:6, 1 Kings 19:2-12 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Empty Grave | Filling Empty - Part 1

    Empty Grave | Filling Empty - Part 1
    2026/04/07
    We are starting a new series today on Easter Sunday, "Filling Empty"! Centered around the idea that when we feel empty, God is the one who fills that empty. With a launching scripture of Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Too often we make our own "get filled" plan that centers around us working harder or doing better to relieve that empty feeling inside. Thinking that way in human standards may be fine, but it is dangerous when we bring that same standard into our relationship with God. We can't do enough, work hard enough, or be good enough to earn salvation. We had incurred an infinite debt when we sinned against the infinite God. So, God's Son had to come down, and in the likeness of man, and pay the ultimate price. Dying on a cross for us, paying our debt, and had to be laid in a tomb, for us. God's gift of salvation is just that; a gift. It isn't earned or achieved, it is accepted. Three days later, Jesus rose! Defeating sin, death and the grave! The sound of the stone rolling away was the sound of Heaven opening up! Ultimately, God used an empty grave to fill Heaven. - Key Verses // Matthew 5:6, Romans 6:23 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Simon to Peter | Rebrand - Part 8

    Simon to Peter | Rebrand - Part 8
    2026/04/02
    We finish our Rebrand series today, looking into the life of Simon; more commonly known as Peter. Understanding that God wants us to have our identity in Him is a key foundational element to this series and to understanding the life of Simon Peter. Meeting Jesus will change you. From the first meeting Simon had with Jesus, Simon was changed; Jesus said that his name will be "Cephas (which, when translated, is Peter)". Then his name stayed Peter at the revelation that Jesus was the Son of God. We see that the truth that God reveals to you is the truth that will change you. Your true identity is lived with your mind on the things of God. our identity can waver when we are not keepings our minds set on heavenly things. so, ultimately, we have to be mindful of our mind! - Key verses // John 1:41-42, Matthew 16:13-20 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Saul to Paul | Rebrand - Part 7

    Saul to Paul | Rebrand - Part 7
    2026/04/02
    Looking at the Life of Saul, and his miraculous conversion, we again see how God wants us to find our identity in Him. Through the life and writings of Paul we see that the calling on our lives is to do the will of God. Before Saul became Paul, he persecuted the early Church. He had orders to imprison early believers or stone them in order to prevent the spreading of the gospel. However, Jesus met him on the road to Damascus, and his life was turned around, and he started serving Jesus and making His name known. Through this we see that an encounter with Jesus will always bring about real change! Saul's name change to Paul was not only pivotal to his ministry, but also to the fulfillment of him being a new creation in Christ. Ultimately, your identity in Christ is what equips you for your calling. Not the other way around. - Key Verses // Acts 7:51-60, 8:1-3, 9:1-20; Acts 13:8-10 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Naomi to Mara | Rebrand - Part 6

    Naomi to Mara | Rebrand - Part 6
    2026/03/18
    God wants us to find our identity in Him, and one of the most prominent things that we let name us instead is pain. Pain will try to change who you are but God's healing redeems your true identity. As in the case of today's story, Naomi. Naomi, from the book of Ruth, had determined to let her pain change her identity; she wanted to identify with it and make it the first thing people knew about her, by changing her own name to Mara. We can't let the existence of pain have the authority to rename us. Through the story of Naomi we can see how having the right people around you and acknowledging the blessings of the Lord overshadows pain, and keeps our identity in line with Him. - Key Verses // Ruth 1:1-20, Ruth 2:20 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive
