Central church of Christ, Sunday Sermons

In our relationships, one of the most incredible things we can do is to reflect the attributes of our God. God’s loyalty is a powerful attribute that we can echo because His loyalty brings redemption and life to others. Join us on Sunday to see what Isaiah says about God’s loyalty, and to learn from the example of Ruth, so we can be equipped to echo His life-giving loyalty in our relationships today.

Our Lord is not only a fountain of knowledge but also of service we can always draw from. God willing come Sunday September 18th, we shall be exploring how we can be of service to one another and some practices that can hinder us from fulfilling this obligation.

God is a God of compassion, and so we are called to be a people of compassion. What does being compassionate involve, and how do we mature into this state of Christlikeness?

The Apostles were a diverse group with different backgrounds, attitudes and temperaments. They had conflicts – disagreeing, competing and arguing with each other. Similarly, the early church experienced conflicts. Any time people come together conflict is possible. What does the Bible say about resolving conflict in the church?

We gladly surrender our lives to Jesus because he is the only one who can give us life to the full. In him only will we find what every human being seeks in this world: true pleasure and purpose!”

In a world of empty promises and broken trust, we all crave authenticity. In Romans 7 and 8, Paul talks about some things that we need to be honest about if we’re going to be authentic as a Christian: our scars, and our strength. Building authentic, healthy relationships means admitting that we have battle scars, just like everyone else. But, it also means sharing the truth about the One who gives us strength to overcome in the battle, so that others will see God in us.

The saying “Only God can judge me” is popular both inside and outside the church. It has led to many a debate. While God is the One and Only judge, what is to be the response of His church when dealing with an unrepentant brother or sister immersed in sin?

As we begin a new series called Building Healthy Relationships, we need to start with a firm foundation. In the upper room, during the last night before His crucifixion, Jesus commanded His disciples to demonstrate His love in their relationships. But as we examine His words, we see that Jesus’ command was way more than just an instruction to be blindly followed. His command to show love has incredible depth and meaning for our lives, and our relationships. Join us on Sunday as we dive into Jesus’ words and see how His deep love can affect all our relationships.

Our relationships are never static, they are always changing. And our relationships with all people, whether family, friends, or people we meet during the course of the day, are important. On Sunday we will examine the subject of being at peace with the people we associate with, and people we meet by chance.

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us that we are called to deal with our enemies in a way that is different from the popular norm. We are called to love our enemies. Why? And what would it take for us to be able to do it?
