  • Growing Up | Growth Rings - Part 4

    Growing Up | Growth Rings - Part 4
    Oct 6 2026
    Continuing our Growth Rings series, we dive into chapter four of Ephesians. Our core thought and verse for this series stems from this chapter, that the letter to the Ephesians teaches us to grow in every season. There is not a season that is absent of growth, and to grow in every season, you have to embrace that God has graced you to be a life-giver through Him. Growing up is learning that there are actions that produce life and there are actions that destroy life. God urges us to look at and examine your actions and to choose those things which bring life. Because ultimately, life brings growth. - Key Verses // Ephesians 4 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Role of Growth | Growth Rings - Part 3

    Role of Growth | Growth Rings - Part 3
    Sep 29 2026
    Last week we covered that we need to remember to grow, but what is the role of growth? This week we dive into chapter 3 of Ephesians which will answer that question. Because the letter to the Ephesians teaches us to grow in every season. Understanding that you are part of God's plan will cause you to grow. You will grow when you understand your generation's role and your own role. And you will grow when you understand God's role... which leads to us understanding that God brings the growth! - Key Verses // Ephesians 4:15-16, Ephesians 3 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Remember to Grow | Growth Rings - Part 2

    Remember to Grow | Growth Rings - Part 2
    Sep 29 2026
    Remembering to grow is essential to our daily walk with Jesus, and the letter to Ephesians reminds us and teaches us to grow in every season. Pastor Brandon leads us through chapter two of this book and points out things we have to remember as we walk. Remember... that you were dead because of the things you both did and didn't do. Meaning, there are two types of ways to miss the mark; the omission decisions = transgressions, and the commission decisions = sins. And we have to remember that it is because of Jesus' great love for us, that he did what he did. Remember that you are alive in Christ and that God works in you to do good works through you. Remember what it was like to not know God. Remember that we grow together as a body of believers. Ultimately, we are encouraged to remember to grow. - Key Verses // Ephesians 4:15-16, Ephesians 2 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Grace to Grow | Growth Rings - Part 1

    Grace to Grow | Growth Rings - Part 1
    Sep 15 2026
    We begin a new series today going through the book of Ephesians; Growth Rings. The book of Ephesians teaches us that, just like a tree, there is opportunities to grow in every season, whether or not it is an easy season or a hard one. When looking at the first chapter of Ephesians, we see that being grateful to the Lord helps us to grow in every season: be thankful that the Lord chose us, be thankful that He freely gave to us, be thankful that He has redeemed and forgiven us, be thankful that He lavished on us, be thankful that He has included us and marked us with the Holy Spirit. Through this chapter we see that gratitude brings growth. - Key Verses // Ephesians 4:15-16, Ephesians 1 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Heart Change | Kardia - Part 6

    Heart Change | Kardia - Part 6
    Sep 9 2026
    Concluding our Kardia series, Pastor Brandon reminds us again that our heart is essential to life because it is the soil where every decision in life grows. And the Loving God with all that you are starts with your heart. Loving God with all your heart impacts what you value, what you say, and what you believe. He works in your to make these changes in your heart first and then your soul. And loving God with all your soul means that your care and devotion are revealed in your mind, will, and emotions. And God tells us to love with all of our strength, even if that strength feels small. Ultimately, when your heart changes, your life changes. - Key Verses // Proverbs 4:23, Mark 12:29-30 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Soft Heart | Kardia - Part 5

    Soft Heart | Kardia - Part 5
    Sep 2 2026
    We learn this week that maintaining a soft heart towards God is crucial to being led by him. Our hearts are essential to life because they are the soil where every decision in life grows. So, it is important to keep your heart open to the truth and to being led by the Spirit; but it is a choice we have to make. Seeing how God continues to talk with us, we learn that heart to heart communication is the most effective; its how He reached us first and its how we can reach others the best. But a crucial requirement to be able to talk heart to heart effectively is the Holy Spirit. Abiding in Him and His guidance allows us to be truthful while also being gentle with others. Ultimately it takes opening our hearts to open our lives. - Key Verses // Proverbs 4:23, Matthew 13:15 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • Heart Roots | Kardia - Part 4

    Heart Roots | Kardia - Part 4
    Aug 25 2026
    Continuing our Kardia series, Pastor Brandon teaches us that it is essential to know what our hearts are rooted in. The heart is essential to life because it is the soil where ever decision in life grows. One of the aspects of life is trouble and trials, and how we go about those things will show us what hope our heart is rooted in. Pastor Brandon points out today that trouble is accelerated when we focus on ourselves. Instead our hopes put in God and His guidance will keep us steady when the trials of life crash against us. One of the most important aspects of that guidance from the Lord is leaning into the instruction from the Holy Spirit who builds in us self-control. See, self-control is like a trouble shield for your life. Self-control is about making life-giving decisions. Even when things are lawful and not harmful, they should always be subjected to three tests... Is it helpful? Is it constructive? Is it to the glory of God? Ultimately, self-control is about giving God control. - Key Verses // Proverbs 4:23, John 16:33, Titus 2:11-14 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

  • X Marks the Heart | Kardia - Part 3

    X Marks the Heart | Kardia - Part 3
    Aug 18 2026
    Pastor Brandon leads us to the X that marks our heart. The X points to what the treasure of our hearts is and what we determine is "worthy" to us. What our hearts find worthy matter to God because, as Matthew tells us in chapter 6:21, "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." It matters because whatever has worth to you will always guide where your life goes. These are the things that your heart finds "worthy". We can also track what is important to an individual; because your thoughts, your energy, your money, and your time always follow your personal list of worthiness. Trusting that God finds you worthy of His attention gives you the freedom to live with right "worth" priorities. Ultimately, the treasure of your heart will mark the path of your life. - Key Verses // Proverbs 4:23, Matthew 6:21 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive
