  • How Do I Find Contentment? | Central Lutheran Church | Aaron Sturgis

    Financial contentment feels impossible to come by. For good reason. Everywhere we turn we are being sold the idea that if you just had this one more thing, life would be grand. What if God has given us the antidote to our financial discontent? That’s the question we will wrestle with in week for of our Good Life series.

  • Finding Sabbath: 3 Rhythms to Remove Hurry and Embrace Rest | Central Lutheran Church | Aaron Sturgi

    In a world that never slows down, what if the key to peace isn't doing more—but doing less with more intention? In our third week of The Good Life, we explore how to find Sabbath in our lives by removing hurry, following three powerful rhythms from the life of Jesus that help us embrace rest and connection with God.


    If you’re feeling weary, overwhelmed, or stretched thin, Pastor Aaron’s message will encourage you to breathe deep, slow down, and find the sacred rhythm of Sabbath again.

  • How To Think Beyond Yourself? | The Good Life | Central Lutheran Church

    Followers of Jesus, we have a problem. We live in a culture that encourages me to put me at the center of everything. At the same time, Jesus invites us "to deny ourselves and follow him." How do we follow Jesus and put others first? It's not as easy as it seems.


    Join us for week two of “The Good Life” Lent series.

  • How Do You Thrive at Relationships? | Central Lutheran Church | Aaron Sturgis

    There are winners and losers, and all our lives we're taught to "win at all costs." The problem is, when it comes to relationships, when one wins, often both of us lose.


    In the gospel of Luke, Jesus tells of a son, like many family squabbles, he’s fed up with his dad and living at home. So he asks his father for his inheritance. Before long, he squanders it recklessly and is forced to work as a hired hand for a pig farmer. He won at home, but did anyone really win? He wasn’t happy. His father wasn’t happy. Even his older brother wasn’t happy.  


    As we kick off our Lenten series, The Good Life, Pastor Aaron teaches us that relationships aren’t like life on the ball field: When one wins, no one wins.

  • How Do You Persevere Through Pain | Central Lutheran Church | Aaron Sturgis

    If you lead anyone or anything in your life, you will experience pain. Passion is what gets you to persevere through that inevitable pain, but patient endurance is what keeps you going beyond that pain. 


    In this week’s message, Pastor Aaron teaches on how, with Jesus, we can persevere in life, in pain, in relationships — in anything that feels hard, with patient endurance.

  • We Weren’t Meant To Do Life Alone | Central Lutheran Church | Aaron Sturgis

    In our Here & Now series, we’ve been talking about focusing our eyes on Jesus as we run the race of life. Running the race of life isn’t a singular activity, though, it’s something we need others doing alongside us. 


    All of Heaven is cheering for you in life, but Heaven is not enough — we need the Spirit inside of us, and people beside us. So, listen to this message as Pastor Aaron teaches about the need and importance of community, instead of comparison, in our lives.

  • Work Through Worry | Central Lutheran Church | Aaron Sturgis

    We all struggle with worry to some degree or another. And if we could choose to not worry we would. Good news, Jesus offers us a way THROUGH our worry. In week four of our CRAFTED series, pastor Aaron reminds us of what Paul says in Philippians 4: that Jesus invites us to cast our anxieties on HIM and in return, receive His peace.


    It really is the only way that we can allow God to form Christ in us.
