What comes to mind when you hear the word 'celebration'? Maybe it's a birthday party, an anniversary or a special occasion. Celebration is always a choice, and when it comes to God we have to remember to celebrate Him because it reminds us of Gods faithfulness and goodness to us. In this week's message Lead Pastor John Carrano continues our series with teaching on the spiritual discipline of celebration.

We can all recount times of good and bad customer service, but what does it actually look like to serve? We have to make a distinction between serving and being a servant. To serve someone -or something- means we choose what we do, but being a servant means we give up that right. We like to choose where we serve, but God calls us to be a servant of all. In this week's message Lead Pastor John Carrano continues our series with teaching on service.
