Central church of Christ, Sunday Sermons

Jesus has called each and every one of us to follow him (Matthew 4:19). Where do you see yourself with regard to this call?

From the beginning when man had fallen from the Garden of Eden and ever since then, man has continue to move farther and farther away from God. On the other hand, our God has never given up on man. That’s why He sent his only son to reconcile mankind to him. This Sunday, God willing, as we teach ourselves on the sermon series ‘Following Jesus’, we shall learn what God expects of his children with respect to the lost.

This Sunday we begin a new sermon series on following Jesus. Our first lesson of this series is humility. Humility is a virtue that Jesus has changed ever since he walked the earth. Lets take a further look into how we can learn and grow from Jesus in the area of humility.

The church is the people empowered by the Spirit of God. This Sunday, we will look into the transformational and sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in our lives as disciples of Jesus.

Relationships are powerful and in His wisdom, God has given us the task of building up the body of Christ by serving one another through those relationships. On Sunday, we will turn to the scriptures to help us understand how we can harness the power of relationships to grow in our ability to follow Jesus.

There is no subject that can be more interesting than God’s word. On Sunday we are going to examine the topic The Role of God’s Word In Discipleship and how important words are, as they affect us for eternity.

Starting with his family, the church, we will see how God grows us into the disciples that he desires for us to become.

What is the purpose of our lives? This is a big question that is important to ask. Fortunately, God doesn’t leave us to wonder about the answer. As Christians, we all look forward to heaven after this life is over, but what about in the here and now? This Sunday, we will further explore “The New Life” of discipleship that Jay introduced last week, and dive deeper into the purpose of following Jesus.

Discipleship is about living a new life in Jesus Christ. This involves a complete spiritual overhaul from the inside out, leading to the best life we could ever imagine!

Jesus gives full disclosure when He calls all people to follow Him. He tells us that we will be blessed but He also tells us to “count the cost” and uses language like “dying to self”, and “carrying our cross” to describe the process of being His disciple. What exactly does all of this mean? And why would we want to answer a challenging call like this in the first place? On Sunday, we will explore what Jesus is calling us to and determine whether it’s a burden to be avoided, or a blessing to be pursued with all our heart and soul.
