Central church of Christ, Sunday Sermons

As the theme of Discipleship continues, this week we are looking at the idea of Unity, and how important the idea of Unity is in the church. Unity of the Spirit, as Paul describes it in Ephesians 4, brings everyone together as one and strengthens us with one Body and one Spirit. Scripture

What does it mean to be a Christian? In particular, what are we committing to as followers of Jesus? This Sunday, we will take a look at Matthew 10:37-39 to see what Jesus said about this!

We want to help each other grow into mature disciples of Christ but sometimes, this work can be challenging because helping others learn and grow can stretch us, and test our patience. On Sunday, we will see why patience is such a valuable tool for growth by looking at how Jesus practiced this important virtue, and investigating how we can follow His example today.

As followers of Jesus, we are but pilgrims in this world. Join us as we explore what it means to be in the world but not of the world.

David Young, senior minister at North Boulevard Church of Christ in Murfreesboro, TN, will be speaking to us this Sunday morning as a part of this weekend’s GROW 2021. In this sermon, David will underline the importance of prioritizing Jesus’ vision for the church of making disciples. It is with this mission that the Holy Spirit will work wonders in the world around us for God’s glory (Acts 2:19).

For Christians, being people who forgive others is not an option. To be forgiven by God, we must forgive others. It is vital for our own and other’s spiritual health.

As we seek to become more like Jesus, we need to grow in our obedience to God. The key to obeying God is to love him with everything that we have!

As we examine more and more of what it means to follow Jesus, we cannot escape the fact that prayer was a huge part of His life. On Sunday, we plan to look into what Jesus taught His disciples about prayer, how He modeled prayer Himself, and what we can learn from Jesus to help us develop a stronger prayer life today.

At the very heart of the gospel is the love that God has for the world. This Easter Sunday, we will look back in the gospel to renew our appreciation for God’s shocking love for us as we seek to become more and more like Jesus and love like he did.

As we continue to look at how we can pattern our lives after Jesus, we see that He lived a life of self-control, which makes us realize that we need to pursue this quality in our lives as well. But self-control is difficult and uncomfortable, so is it worth the effort? And if it is, how do we pursue it in our lives today? Join us on Sunday as we plan to open the scriptures together and see the blessings associated with a life of self-control, and how we can pursue this quality for ourselves, and those around us as we grow together to become more like Jesus.
