About This Sermon
What does it look like to celebrate what God has done without losing sight of why it matters? In this message from Nehemiah 12, Pastor Jarrett Stephens walks through Celebration Sunday at Champion Forest and reminds us that true success is not just about reaching a goal, but about coming through the journey stronger in faith, deeper in unity, and more surrendered to the Lord.
As the church reflects on the NEXT Initiative, this sermon points back to God’s faithfulness through every prayer, every sacrifice, and every step of obedience. It is a message about consecration, joy, and giving God all the glory for what only He can do. Whether you have been part of this journey from the beginning or are just now tuning in, this sermon is a powerful reminder that when God’s people attempt something great for His glory and devote it back to Him, He fills them with great joy.
