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 serieshelps 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.
