In this sermon, Pastor Craig walks us through Luke 15:1–10 where Jesus tells the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. When the Pharisees questioned why he spent time with sinners, Jesus explained his heart — to seek and bring home the lost. Together we’ll see how Jesus builds relationships with unlikely people, why the stakes for the lost are so high, and how heaven rejoices when even one sinner repents.

In today’s message from Luke 12, we look at the parable of the rich fool. Jesus reminds us that life is not found in the abundance of possessions but in being rich toward God. You’ll hear three ways we can live that out: recognizing our abundance comes from the Lord, resisting the pull to find life in stuff, and remembering that one day we’ll give an account before God.

In this sermon we look at the Parable of the Weeds in Matthew 13, where Jesus teaches us about living as God’s good seed in a world full of weeds. You’ll be encouraged to trust the good Farmer, resist blaming Him for evil, and tend your portion of the field faithfully while we wait for the harvest.

Every person who hears the gospel responds in a different way. Jesus illustrates this with the Parable of the Sower—one seed, four soils, four outcomes. In this message, Pastor Craig walks through each soil and what it reveals about our hearts. The challenge is clear: what kind of soil are you, and is your life bearing fruit for the kingdom of God?

Thanks for tuning in to the Celina First sermon podcast. This week we continue our series Rules for Free People by looking at the 9th commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” In this message, Pastor Craig unpacks why God takes lying so seriously, the deeper reasons we’re tempted to stretch the truth, and how living as people of truth flows from our identity in Christ. Let’s listen in.
