We Celebrate the Wins

Aug 31, 2025    Pastor Jeremy Peters

In today's message, we're challenged to embrace a culture of celebration within our faith community. The central theme revolves around Romans 12:15, urging us to 'be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.' This scripture isn't just about surface-level emotions; it's a call to genuine empathy and shared experiences. We're reminded that celebrating others' successes and supporting them in sorrow are both acts of grace, mirroring God's love for us. The message draws an interesting parallel between Jesus at the wedding in Cana and at Lazarus' tomb, showing His ability to celebrate joyfully and grieve deeply. This teaches us that proximity and presence are key to authentic relationships in the body of Christ. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can move beyond superficial interactions to truly rejoice with and comfort one another, fostering a deeper sense of unity and harmony in our faith community.
