Central church of Christ, Sunday Sermons

As Christians, we are not immune to the struggles of life. In fact, Jesus taught that we should expect to experience trouble because we are Christians! Despite this, the Bible also teaches that we have an advantage to help us through our struggles. We learn in James that we can actually experience joy during the painful times in our lives! Today, we’re going to dig into this concept as we try to answer this one simple question: How can we find joy in suffering?

This Sunday, we will renew our understanding of what true discipleship entails in order for us to be able to model it to the world around us through our lives.

What is your attitude towards the people of the world who have yet to know the gospel of Christ’s salvation? This Sunday, we will remind ourselves of our calling to share the good news with them so that they too can be in a saving relationship with Jesus.

Our central theme for the year has been evangelism. This Sunday, God willing, we shall focus on the topic of listening to the master and discuss how being obedient to God can be a silent but powerful way to win souls for Christ.

Last week, we talked about the importance of humility. We understand how critical it is for us to be humble but sometimes it’s difficult to know how to get from where we are now to where God is calling us to be. Fortunately for us, Jesus describes exactly how we can make this journey. On Sunday, we will address one simple question: How do we become more humble? Once we’ve understood this, we can start using humility as a tool for evangelism.

Pride is generally recognized in every person and for that reason, is a universal in human experience and affects all of us in varying degrees. It is commonly agreed that the virtue opposite of pride is humility. Therefore, cultivating humility is one of the most effective approaches to growing spiritually and emotionally.

In this lesson we hope to utilize the many truths in Scripture, and the passage recorded in Acts 4 to remind us what God has equipped us with as Christians, and that when it comes to having the courage to spread the Gospel….He makes all the difference.

So far this year, we have been reminded of our mission and our gospel message to the world. This Sunday, we begin a new sermon series about “Modelling the Message” to the people around us through a disciplined focus on Jesus.

This week we continue the parable of the Prodigal Son by focusing on the older son. We’ll use his actions as a cautionary tale about being self-centric and will outline some positive strategies to avoid some of the common stumbling blocks that everyone (including the new graduates!) may experience while trying to live a good Christian life.

Today is Father’s Day. We’re going to focus on the story of the prodigal son, revealing how the actions of the son’s father demonstrate the love that God shows for us as our Heavenly Father and how we can replicate that with our own children.
