Alcoholism – Divorce – Sexual Abuse – Codependency – Domestic Violence – Drug Addition – Sexual Addiction

These words are about more than “issues.‚Äù They’re about people who sit as close to us as the next pew‚Äîor 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‚Äôs 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.

You Were Created to Dream

God has a dream for your life. Before you took your first breath, he had already placed the gift of imagination into your brain and hardwired creativity into every cell of your body.

Phase 1: Dream—God puts an exciting dream in your heart.

Phase 2: Decision—You make the decision to go after the dream.

Phase 3: Delays—God allows delays to get you ready for the dream.

Phase 4: Difficulties—You face problems that grow your character.

Phase 5: Dead Ends—Your situation become impossible.

Phase 6: Deliverance—God miraculously fulfills the dream!

Life is full of difficult questions, but when we have questions, the Bible has answers. In God’s Answers to Life’s Difficult Questions, Rick Warren, pastor and New York Times bestselling author, invites us to take a closer look at key biblical figures and the ways in which they walked through the challenges they faced in their daily lives.

Rick Warren uses stories from scripture to teach us that the Bible is filled with examples of real people who faced the same dilemmas we’re facing today. By demonstrating the ways in which God chooses to use ordinary people to accomplish his plans–despite their weaknesses and failures–Warren gives us hope as we take on life’s countless challenges. Better yet, Warren provides us with realistic solutions that we can start putting into practice today.

Warren takes us inside the lives of biblical characters including Moses, Paul, and Jesus himself, giving you a chance to see the up-close-and-personal ways that they navigated their own circumstances.

Although God’s Answers to Life’s Difficult Questions is anchored in timeless stories from Scripture, Warren also weaves in modern examples that address the twelve questions he’s asked the most as a spiritual leader, including:

• How can I learn to handle discouragement?
• How can I respond better in a crisis?
• How do I become more resilient when I feel like a failure?
• How can I fight my loneliness?
• How is change possible for me?
• How can I lead a more peaceful life?

The concrete, practical insights that Warren shares in God’s Answers to Life’s Difficult Questions will give you the tools you need to build up your resilience, strengthen your relationship with God, and finally enjoy a life full of lasting purpose, peace, and significance today.

In all of the years that Rick Warren has been a pastor, the number one question he’s asked is “Why can’t I change?” We want to make changes, but we often feel stuck. Let God’s Power to Change Your Life be the first step on your journey to getting out of your rut and back into God’s wonderful purposes for your life.

It’s no pie-in-the-sky theory. It’s what redemption is about, and it’s founded on the resurrection power of Jesus himself. Drawing simple but powerful truths from the Bible, this book gives you practical guidance for specific types of change and empowers you to actually make lasting the changes that you’re longing for.

Power that cancels your past and sets you free to get on with life. Power to conquer your problems. Power to change. The first two chapters help you lay the foundations for change. Then, taking you inside the Scriptures, Warren gives you a closer look at the fruits of the spirit and the profound impact they can have on your life.

In God’s Power to Change Your Life, Warren gives you the tools and the encouragement you need to:

• Become a more joyful person
• Cultivate a peaceful life in this uptight world
• Be a kinder, more gracious individual
• Replace self-indulgence with self-control
• Experience what “the good life” is all about

As Warren reminds us, when you apply the truth of God’s Word by the power of his Spirit, your life is sure to change.
