01.31.21 - At the end of the story of Naomi and Ruth, God has moved this pair of widows from famine to feast, from emptiness to fullness, from bitterness to joy, from devastating death to everlasting life. As our redeemer, Jesus takes everything in our lives that has gone wrong and makes it right. He fixes in our lives what is broken. Whatever havoc the pandemic has wreaked in your life, whatever lingering effect you still feel, our God is committed to taking all of it into himself and creating something beautiful and eternal and new.

01.24.21 - In a recent survey of 1,000 American adults, 58% said the COVID-19 pandemic has changed their lives forever. There is no doubt the global pandemic has shifted society and changed our culture in irrevocable ways. But we also know that God is at work. A new normal is not to be feared, it is to be embraced as God’s time and place for something beautiful and eternal and new.

Speaker: Allan Stanglin

01.17.21 - This is the turning point in the story of Naomi and the turning point of our “Everything New!” series at Central. This is when you realize that God is at work in the bitterness and pain. Even in the middle of tremendous loss, God is moving the pieces into place and working out the timing and the details of his magnificent plans for your life.

Speaker: Allan Stanglin

01.10.21 - When you look at yourself, do you focus on your struggles and your sins or on your holiness and righteousness in Christ? God is moving you into a brand-new place. And once you see it, your life will never be the same.

12.27.20 - We all have questions as we head into the new year. When will the virus crisis end? How will the vaccines work? Will 2021 be better than 2020?

12.13.20 - Waiting on Christ to appear is not a passive thing; it’s a roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty thing. Our Christian hope doesn’t ignore fear, anxiety, or trouble; it confronts it. The assurance we have doesn’t shy away from sickness, pain, or difficulty; it confronts all of that in the name and manner of Jesus, the one who came and is coming.
