Centre Street Church Audio Sermons

Our guest speaker this week is Mark Buchanan, writer and professor. He preaches a message about another one of Jesus’ proclamations from John 14:6: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life”.

In knowing Jesus deeply, we have a sure foundation that cannot be shaken even in the midst of the uncertainties surrounding us. When we come like sheep to enter through the Gate and come under the secure care of the Good Shepherd, He gives abundant life.

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life” to Martha, whose brother Lazarus had died. Jesus had a plan all along that Lazarus’ death would be an opportunity for everyone watching to believe in Him and to trust in Him – right in the middle of their grief, and discouragement, and their doubts. Pastor Kent leads us through this powerful and miraculous story found in John 11:1-44.

In a world that is constantly seeking for more, is there anything that can bring true satisfaction to our hearts? The promise of Jesus in John 6:25-40 is radical and significant: “I am the Bread of Life; whoever comes to me will never go hungry.” Jesus offers us something more important than food: contentment though a life-sustaining relationship with God.

In John 8:12, Jesus says, I am the light of the world”, right after the story of the woman caught in the act of adultery. Jesus redeems the woman from darkness, and transforms her life. The Good News of the Gospel is that Jesus forgives sin, takes away shame and leads us into the light.

Kicking off our summer sermon series, Pastor Ashwin gives background on the ‘I Am’ statements that Jesus made. When Moses encountered God through a burning bush (Exodus 3:1-15), God introduced Himself to Moses as I AM or Yahweh. In a clear, bold proclamation of His divinity, Jesus uses this same phrase in John 8:48-59.

This sermon in the Why Believe series explores what the Bible has to say about what about will happen to those who have never heard of Jesus if He is the only way to God.

Another in the Why Believe? Series, this sermon gives compelling evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ and why this truth matters.

People question how a loving God could send people to hell. Many refuse to believe hell exists, and those who do often embrace a view of hell that is significantly different from what Jesus said about hell in the Scriptures. This sermon in the Why Believe series examines what the Bible has to say about hell and its implications for our lives.

In this part of the Why Believe Series the question of why an all-powerful God would allow innocent children to die, and particularly why in enacting judgment against wicked nations He would allow innocent children to be killed is discussed.
