The purpose of Rappahannock Church of Christ’s Discover Recovery ministry is to fellowship with others and to celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the program’s eight recovery principles. This experience allows those who work through the program to experience profound life change and freedom from their hurts, hang-ups and habits. By working and applying these biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and, most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and with others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving higher power, Jesus Christ, the one and only true higher power.
You may think recovery is only for drug addicts and alcoholics – people whose lives seem out of control. But that’s just not true. The Bible teaches that all of us have addictions in our lives. Sin is addicting, and the Bible says, “all have sinned.” Not one of us is perfect. We’ve all blown it; we’ve all made mistakes. We’ve hurt ourselves, we’ve hurt other people, and others have hurt us. We invite you to a better lifestyle. With God all things are possible and when you have other Christians who are struggling just like you are, the road to recovery is much easier. The Bible says in Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”. And in Ecclesiastes 4:12 it says – “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken”.
