Episode Details

Why do we celebrate birthdays, weddings, promotions, or other milestones? Is it because we see them as turning points that provide some kind of hope in the midst of ordinary life? Maybe it’s just tradition, or an excuse to gather and indulge in unhealthy foods we otherwise wouldn’t eat? But how often do we celebrate our redemption, and acknowledge how God’s grace has turned our despair into hope? Or have these eternal moments been overshadowed by fleeting, lesser celebrations? Here is something actually worth celebrating… What God is doing in your heart and lives! Do we proclaim the quiet ways He redeems what we thought was lost, or are we too busy celebrating what won’t last? This last sermon in this series, “Power for Ordinary People,” is about a celebration that points to one far greater.
