Coming Soon! The Recovery Corner
The Recovery Corner will be a separate website
sponsored by Grace Be Unto You Church, dedicated to Christian Recovery.
The purpose of this site will be to bring you material that can help you
in your daily recovery walk, while getting closer to your higher power,
Jesus. Also here you will find testimonies of other Christians that are
in recovery, and direction of where to find the support to walk this
journey.
The other program that will work along with this
site is The Jonah Group which meets here Fridays at 7:00 PM, on
the 1st floor North door.
The Jonah
Group is a Christian based 12 step group whose purpose is to
enter the process of becoming more like
Christ and also to increase our fellowship with God.
This group is a safe place to share,
and look for the support of other members as we all walk this walk together. This group is to provide a path for
hurting and/or addicted people to learn about Jesus Christ, and find the
hope of a better life. The difference between The Jonah Group and many of
the the
numerous 12 step recovery groups that are out there, is that we claim
Jesus Christ as our higher power, which was the basis of the first 12 step
group.
The 12
steps are truly a biblical path to God.
-
Steps 1,2,3 are about the acceptance and
surrender that we can’t do it on our own, and that we need Jesus in our
lives.
-
Steps 4 -7 are the self examination
and asking God to cleans us of our shortcomings.
-
Steps 8-9 are the healing process of
forgiveness with people we have hurt.
-
Steps 10-12 are where we learn to walk
this walk daily and take it to others who are hurting.

Proverbs 23:29-35
Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who
has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
Those who linger over wine.
Who go to sample bowls of missed wine.
Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it
sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like
a viper.
Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind
imagine confusing things.
You will be like one sleeping on the high seas.
Lying on top of the rigging. “They hit me” you will say, “but I’m not
hurt They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find
another drink?”
2 Corinthians 7:1
Let us purify ourselves from
everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of
reverence for God.
