Central church of Christ, Sunday Sermons

There is always a cost to anything we do in our individual lives or collectively. In Christianity it is not any different. We shall be looking at the cost of following Christ from the view point of the scriptures. Please join us as we search the scriptures together come Sunday, Lord willing.

The Christian lifestyle is a balancing act because we live in the world but are called to be set apart from it. This Sunday, we will examine these two truths and the balance we should strike between them so that we can be surrounded by the world but avoid becoming worldly.

As we continue in our Finding Balance series, it’s time to look at another balancing act. The Bible calls us to spur one another on towards progress in our faith, but we are also called to be patient, and bear with one another. How do we go about accomplishing both of these things? Can we encourage too much? Can we be too patient? Join us on Sunday as we search the Scriptures for the key to helping each other pursue balanced growth as disciples of Jesus.

As we strive to follow Jesus, knowing who we are in Christ is very important. The bible tells us that we are slaves of God, but it also says that we are His children. What does this all mean? And how can we balance these two identities which may seem to contradict each other? Join us on Sunday, as we plan to explore these concepts and look for the balance that will help us to see ourselves the way that God sees us.”

Lightly falling snow can be such a pleasing sight. Until it’s piled up waist high and we are stuck in it. Much the same can be said about sin, and how it, accompanied by shame and guilt, can cause us to lose our spiritual traction. These barriers not only keep us in neutral, but can also send us spiraling out of control in reverse, away from our target destination. Let’s look at what God’s Word has to say about how we can get back on the road and navigate our way around sinful roadblocks as we journey the narrow path.

As a disciple, do you share the willingness to go wherever Jesus sends you? How do you respond to Jesus saying, ‘Follow me’?

We’ve all experienced the stubbornness of a hard heart, either in dealing with others, or feeling it within ourselves. Unfortunately, our Christian walk is not exempt from the effects of a hard heart, and it can put a serious strain on our ability to follow Jesus. Thankfully, the bible has a lot to say about heart hearts, and more importantly, how we can overcome them with God’s help.

This world has many barriers that distract us from becoming the mature disciples that God wants us to become. This Sunday, we will remind ourselves of the devil’s schemes so we can keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.

Peter has denied both his Lord and his friend. He’s laid low by his actions. But then! Christ is raised from the dead! This gives Peter an opportunity for a second chance. But what will Jesus do? Is He a second chance Savior?

We all want to be the types of Christians who are strong in our faith and able to help others grow in theirs. But sometimes, when we think about living this kind of life, we can get overwhelmed because we feel like we can’t measure up. Thankfully, the scriptures give us some insight into this concern through the life of Timothy. Timothy had an amazing faith, but it wasn’t always this way – he grew over time! Join us on Sunday as we plan to examine how he grew, and talk about how we can do the same thing today!
