Celebrate Recovery Principle #5

We’re preparing to start the Celebrate Recovery program at the Lake Merced Church of Christ in San Francisco.

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program for people who struggle with various life issues – not just drugs and alcohol. Many have come to know the Lord through this program while simultaneously recovering from the hurts, habits, and hangups present in their life.

We’re formally kicking off CR at Lake Merced in a few weeks, and on the Sunday mornings leading up to that time the LMC ministry staff is preaching a series of lessons based on the eight Celebrate Recovery principles taken from the Beatitudes. Today I was privileged to present the lesson on principle #5:

Listen here: Wes Woodell – Celebrate Recovery Principle #5: Voluntarily Submit to Every Change God Wants to Make In My Life (25:20) PowerPoint

(For more preaching, visit the Sermons page).

I’ll be glad when we formally start the meetings – this will be great for our church and community.

Anyone reading this have experience with CR?

The 2010 Sonshine State Experience in Gainesville, FL was great! Seven campus ministries came together to enjoy food, fellowship, worship, late-night campfire singing, smores, and, of course, studying the Word at the Florida Bible Camp this year.

Thank you to Donny Dillon, the campus minister serving The University of Florida through Gators for Christ, for inviting me to participate in 2010 – it was a rich experience.

Buddy Bell, preaching minister for the Landmark Church of Christ in Montgomery, AL, did an outstanding job as usual. I’m going back to San Francisco with a pad chocked full of notes taken during his lessons. Coming from one who had his young faith shaped greatly by Buddy (back when I was a student), it was a privilege and an honor to get to teach alongside him over the weekend.

As promised, here are the lessons:
