IT’S TESTIMONY NIGHT!!!

We invite you to join us tonight to hear a testimony from someone who struggles with drug addiction. Come hear her share how she found the unchanging LOVE of Christ.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)

Principle 8. Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.” (Matthew 5:10)

Step 12. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and practice these principles in all our affairs.

“Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently.

But watch yourself or you also may be tempted.”

(Galatians 6:1)

Celebrate Recovery @ Rafter J Cowboy Church – Wednesday, June 4, 2014

June 4, 2014 Red

Large group starts at 7 pm (age requirement 15 years and older)

Small groups start at 8 pm (age requirements 18 years and older)

Principle 2: Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4)

Step 2: We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

“For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13)

“Anyone who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6)

In the first principle, we admitted we were powerless. Now in the second principle, we come to believe God exists, that we are important to Him, and that we are able to receive God’s power to help us recover. It’s in the second step we find HOPE!

H – Higher Power

O – Openness to Change

P – Power of God

E – Expect to Change

Focus Question: What do you believe about God? What things are you ready to change in your life?

Ephesians 6:13-17 (NIV)

The Armor of God

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
