Christ Central Church

We continue in our sermon series "That You May Know" on the book of John. Join us for our livestream sermon as we dive into John 3:22–36 (ESV) and explore what it truly means to place our faith in Jesus.

In this powerful passage, we are reminded that faith in Jesus recognizes and rejoices in His supremacy over all—and gladly yields to Him. Just as John the Baptist joyfully declared, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” we are called to center our lives on Christ above everything else.

Whether you’re exploring faith or seeking to grow deeper in your walk with Christ, this message will encourage you to joyfully embrace His rule and rest in His greatness.

📖 Scripture: John 3:22–36 (ESV)

What does it really mean to believe in Jesus? In John 2:23–3:20, we encounter one of the most important conversations in the Bible—Jesus’ late-night discussion with Nicodemus. Nicodemus had religion, knowledge, and status, yet Jesus told him something shocking: “You must be born again.”

In this message, we discover that seeing and entering God’s kingdom requires more than good morals, religious effort, or sincere belief. It requires a supernatural work of God—a new birth.

If you’re going to see God’s kingdom, you need more than good religion—you need a new birth. Join us as we walk through this powerful passage and see why spiritual rebirth is essential for every person who wants to truly know God.

Scripture: John 2:23–3:20

Today Alex Woods, a minister with Campus Outreach at NC A&T State University take us into 1 Samuel 1 and explore the power, posture, and purpose of prayer through the story of Hannah.

In a season of deep pain and longing, Hannah teaches us what it truly means to seek God with sincerity, humility, and commitment. Her prayer wasn’t polished—it was real. And God responded.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 1 (CSB)

No matter what you're carrying today, prayer opens the door for God to move in powerful ways.

What happens when Jesus walks into the room — and takes over?

In John 2, Jesus enters the Temple and turns everything upside down. But this wasn't destruction for its own sake. This was restoration. This was reclamation. Jesus was reclaiming His Father's house and returning it to its original, holy purpose.

Join us LIVE as we explore what it truly means when Jesus Takes Over the House — and what that means for us today.

In this message, we'll discover:

✦ How Jesus transforms God's house into a house of inclusion — where all are welcomed to the Father

✦ How Jesus transforms God's house into a house of life — where the dead find resurrection and the broken find healing

✦ How Jesus transforms God's house into a house of faith — where trust in God is restored and renewed

📖 Scripture: John 2:13-22 (ESV)

"This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him." - John 2:11

In this transformative message, we'll explore three key truths from Jesus' first miracle:

⏰ God's Glory on God's Time

Understanding divine timing vs. human urgency

Learning to wait with faith and expectation

Trusting God's perfect schedule for breakthrough

🏺 God's Glory Through Ordinary Means

How God uses everyday people and situations

Finding the sacred in the common

Your role in God's miraculous work

💪 God's Glory for Our Faith

Building unshakeable trust in God's character

Moving from doubt to confident expectation

Living with supernatural hope

This message is for all of us but especially for those who are waiting for God's breakthrough in their life or those struggling with timing and trust issues. We hope this sermon will help to deepen your faith about Jesus' miraculous power.

📖 Scripture: John 2:1-12 (ESV)

What are you seeking?

In this message from John 1:35–51, we walk alongside the first disciples as they encounter Jesus and respond to His invitation to “come and see.” When John the Baptist declares that Jesus is the Lamb of God, everything changes. Because Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, we cannot remain where we are. If we truly see Him for who He is, we must follow.

This message challenges us personally and as a church: Are we standing still, or are we actively following the Lamb of God?

Scripture: John 1:35-51(ESV)

We are back!!

Join us for this week’s worship and message, “The Heart of Christian Witness.” Our passage from John 1:19–34 reminds us that our Christian witness must always point to Jesus—because He is God’s plan for saving the world. If we are to truly bear witness, Christ must remain at the very center of our lives and message.

In today’s message, we’ll explore:

✨ The Context of Christian Witness – Understanding where and how our witness takes shape.

✨ The Contour of Christian Witness – What genuine, Christ-centered witness looks like in our world.

✨ The Confirmation of Christian Witness – How God Himself affirms and empowers our testimony.

🙏 We invite you to open your heart and reflect on how your life can point others to Jesus.

📖 Scripture: John 1:19-34 (ESV)

What does it truly mean to know God—not at a distance, but up close and personal? In the opening verses of John’s Gospel, we are introduced to Jesus as the Word made flesh—God’s self-revelation who has stepped into our world. This passage invites us to see reality differently, beginning with Christ Himself. Main Point: Because Jesus is God’s Word made flesh, He is the starting point for how we see the world, ourselves, and our God. In this message, we will explore how Jesus is revealed as: The Word of Creation — through whom all things were made The Word of Life — the true light who overcomes darkness The Word of Grace — God drawing near to us in mercy and truth.

Join us live as we begin our new sermon series, That You May Know, and discover how knowing Jesus reshapes everything. 🙏 Come ready to listen, reflect, and worship. 📖 Scripture: John 1:1–14 (ESV)

Life in Christ is not meant to be lived in isolation. In Colossians 3:12–17, the Apostle Paul paints a beautiful picture of what it means to share life together as God’s chosen people — clothed in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Join us for this week’s message, “Not Alone: The Shared Life of Faith,” as we explore:

The Character of a Shared Life – Who we are becoming together in Christ

The Tone of a Shared Life – How grace and gratitude shape our relationships

The Practices of a Shared Life – What we do together to reflect Christ’s love to the world

Whether you’re new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will remind you that you’re not alone — we were made to grow together in Him.

📖 Scripture: Colossians 3:12-17 (ESV)

In Luke 1:67–80, Zechariah erupts in praise as he reflects on God’s faithfulness to His long-standing promises. After centuries of waiting, God is on the move—showing once again that He never forgets what He has promised to His people.

Today we will explore how God’s promises anchor our hope, especially in seasons of uncertainty and fear. The birth of John the Baptist points us to a God whose commitment has not changed and whose promises find their fulfillment in Jesus. Whether you’re weary from waiting or longing for assurance, this passage reminds us that our hope is secure because it rests in a faithful God.

📖 Scripture: Luke 1:67-80
