Introduction
Remember the Titans: Zero Fun, Sir.
Christians have no fun.
They are so serious all the time.
Guess what.
This is going to blow your mind.
God invented fun.
When God created everything, he said, “it is good.”
He didn’t say, it is boring.
Jesus said that he came that we might have life and life to the fullest.
There’s an old theological document that says that the number one purpose of human beings is to “glorify God and enjoy him forever.”
BUT fun is not the goal.
The goal is God.
So, what does it mean to practice Christian celebration?
(not a touchdown Jesus dance)
We celebrate God’s goodness
Read
They are commanded to celebrate and be glad because of what God did.
God saved them from their enemies and changed their sadness into joy.
This is true of all the Jewish festivals - they were celebrations of what God had done for his people.
And what has God done to
Read They were meeting together to celebrate the good news of Jesus, so they praised God and hung out together with great joy and generosity.
They celebrated the good news of Jesus.
Here’s the question I want to ask you: Why do you come to Canvas?
I come to celebrate the good news of Jesus.
What if we read the Scripture and everybody was like LET’S GOOOOOO.
Maybe it’s really hard for you to celebrate God’s goodness because you don’t see his goodness.
I’ve been there.
It seems like everything is going wrong.
How can I celebrate?
Thank God for what you can thank him for.
(1,000 gifts)
We celebrate with each other
: celebrate with those who celebrate.
When God saved you, he saved you into a new group of people, the church.
And the Bible talks about this group like a body.
Have you ever stubbed your toe?
Your whole body weeps with your toe.
And when it starts to feel better, your whole body is amped because it no longer hurts.
When I was in 8th grade, I broke my right thumb, and I had to wear a cast for like 3 months.
And I had to write left-handed that whole time.
And, let me tell you, my left hand CELEBRATED when I got that cast off.
But here’s the thing, we often don’t celebrate with others because either we’re jealous of them, or we just don’t really care about them.
But God has put us together in one body, which means that when something good happens to one of us, it happens to all of us!
So, who is someone that you can celebrate this week?
Conclusion:
This can be a discipline.
Sometimes it’s hard to celebrate God and others.
Maybe it’s hard to see God’s goodness because of stuff that’s going on in your life.
Maybe everything else in the world seems more exciting than what God is doing.
1. Remind yourself what God has done and is doing.
Write a list of things you are thankful for.
2. Tell someone about what God is doing in your life.
And ask what God is doing in theirs.
3. Think about someone who just had a win in their life, and celebrate them!
Send them a text or a gift, throw them a party.
Listen.
Jesus has changed everything.
The good news of Jesus is the BEST NEWS EVER.
It is incredible and we should celebrate it.
We should celebrate more than we celebrate anything else.
So, I’m gonna tell you some good news and I want you to get hype.
You and I were lost in sin, and the world was broken apart from God, but God came to us in Jesus and he lived and he died and he rose from the dead so that he could change our lives forever
