Central Heights Sunday Messages
September 6 teaching
Do you long for God to move again and restore this broken world? Then begin by facing the ways youve become numb to the pain and injustice around you, and find the courage to weep again as you wait for God to move.
The path to endure the chaos and disorder swirling around us leads directly to a King who is on the throne.
A war of stories is being fought in your life and you may not be aware of it. These cultural and personal scripts wont be exposed or dismantled at a distance but through a life with Jesus.

Many who seek God for revival feel a quiet tension: a deep hunger for him to move, alongside an honest struggle to believe that he will. If thats you, Mark 1:2934 shows us what happens when those who are unsure come to the one with the compassion and power to do what we long for.
Louder than the Grave series // Who Are You Looking For?
Jesus' death on the cross unleashed heaven's power on earth. So why do we live with such little power today? If we want to see the power of God in our day, our lives must model Jesus' posture on the cross.
The last place wed look for hope is a place of death. Yet, this is exactly where we find the hope we long for and need in an uncertain world.
Only Jesus prays for others while being mocked and crucified.
The rule and reign of God is more than a message, its the power of God invading the present world and setting captives free.
In a world of AI slop, meaningless memes, and internet trolls, we are a culture starved of purpose. Jesus' call to his disciples invites us into grand purpose while addressing the idols of career and family.
The message of Jesus helps us find our way into a better, more true story than the one being played out each night on our screens.
Drawing from Psalm 25 and the life of David, we are reminded that God is not only trustworthy but also a willing teacher who guides, instructs, and gives wisdom to those who actively seek Him.
Immediately after his baptism, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the "wilderness". For the next 40 days, he was tested there by Satan, "the father of Lies". At a moment when his resources would have been depleted, what was Jesus' strategy to "resist"?
Mark is a man of few words. In describing Jesus' baptism, he simply gives us the facts. This might lead one to whiz by and declare "Not much to see here"!. Yet, if we slow down, we find within his concise description several beautiful and significant "Anchor Moments." These are moments that prepared Jesus to face the challenges ahead and may provide us with parallel Anchor Moments to draw upon ourselves.
How does an ancient story of a wilderness prophet speak into a time of anxiety, division, and uncertainty? By reminding us it is Gods desire to come and bring us into a life with him.
The Gospel of Mark is more than an ancient document - its the story of Jesus and the start of something new for you, for me, and for the world.

Crisis is everywhere. Wars and famine. Sickness and death. How does the greatest crisis in ancient Israel's history prepare us to deal with crisis? And how does it prepare us to receive the good news about Jesus of Nazareth?
The potatoes have been "mashed", the turkey "gobbled", the eggs "nogged" and your pants have mysteriously "shrunk"! Time to dust off the old gym membership for a little "reduction therapy" some refer to as bodybuilding. But what about some "embody-building"? We'll have a look at Colossians 3:1-17 for some encouragement and challenge as we follow Jesus into the New Year.
Love is everywhere. It's the main theme of most movies, books, and songs. We like love. We might even love love. If it's true that God Himself is the source of all love, how can we experience this as more than an abstract concept?
Christmas is a time where youre supposed to feel joy. But what if joy feels far away and absent from your life? What then? As we reflect on the arrival of Jesus from Isaiah 12, we find there is a path to joy for the joyless.
Despite our best advancements in areas like technology and psychology, humans seem to be more anxious and less at peace than ever before. As we celebrate the arrival of peace this Advent season, how does God imagine peace invading creation?
We often associate hope with the happy, the optimistic, and the enthusiastic. What happens when we lack the emotional capacity for this kind of hope? Isaiah 9 offers a window into a hope that endures regardless of our circumstances.
Every move of God has a story. In each story, the Spirit works in ways that are both similar and unique. By looking at these tales of revival in Scripture, we become able to grasp what God may be wanting to do in our midst today.
Tales of Revival: When the Spirit Comes
Mark 1:29-37 shows a moment in Jesus ministry where the work load seems overwhelming. Its busy seasons like this in our lives that we often forget or set aside our time with the Lord. In this passage we see that it is in these seasons when we need to fight the hardest to sit with our God.

What does God have to say to a church celebrating 75 years as a community of faith in the city? It might not be what you expect.
Most, if not all, of us want to see God pour out his Spirit in our day. But not many of us arent willing to pay attention to the place where revival begins: our hearts. Yet, God says that is exactly what we need to do.
To want revival is one thing; to give yourself to the journey to get there is another. In this teaching, we look at the postures and practices that work together to create the conditions for a move of Gods Spirit.
The time is now to contend for God to move in our time. But in order for the church to contend for a move of , it must take up the cry of revival and call on God to keep his promises. Using the Exodus story, we investigate what this looks like and how we can get involved as the church of Jesus.
