We often hear mention of the “glory of God,” but what exactly is it? Glory has much to do with fame, honor, and renown, but even more specifically, the glory of God relates to his majesty, his power, and his rule as the true King. So what a marvelous truth it is that God doesn’t just reveal his glory to us; he shares it with us! Listen to this sermon as we consider our future glory and how even the deepest suffering we experience on this earth doesn’t begin to compare to the weight of it. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

When we embrace the salvation Jesus offers us, that brings with it a number of new realities, not the least of which is the spirit of adoption from God.

Doug Webster guides us into the beauty of the overlapping between the Lord's Prayer and Psalm 23

When the early Church embraced the gospel and the good news that Jesus would one day come again to bring redemption to the world, they struggled to see why their work on earth mattered. In the apostle Paul’s addressing of their questions, he helps us see that there is inherent dignity in our work, and also that the way in which we work can be a means of giving glory to God. Listen to this sermon as we consider how the gospel inspires our work. _______ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.

The early Church believers in Thessalonica wrestled with many of the same questions we ask God today, so when they faced confusion over how to honor God with their bodies, Paul’s instruction to them delivers truth to us as well. The biblical sexual ethic may have a restrictive, negative, and life-denying reputation, but it actually frees us unto a holiness already secured for us in Jesus. Listen to this sermon as we explore the life-giving effects of being wholly devoted to God. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.

The book of 1 Thessalonians — and likewise many books of the New Testament — are actually letters, written by the apostle Paul to the early Church believers whom he loved with an inspirational love. In addition to instruction and guidance, we see in his words an outpouring of passionate care and concern worth embodying. Listen to this sermon as we consider the intense, exemplary love of Paul — and more importantly, the Good News out of which it was born. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

The history of God’s people is one of abundant blessing but not without exile, persecution, and hardship. At every point throughout the biblical narrative, God’s people have found themselves in need of comfort. And in those moments, the almighty, all powerful creator of the universe has gently embraced his children and held them in his loving arms with a comfort that believers even today can, in turn, extend to a world in need. Listen to this sermon as guest preacher N.T. Wright leads us in considering the depth and breadth of God’s comfort. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

No matter what our lives look like on the outside, we all have areas of shame. We have wounds that need healing, burdens that need compassion, and transgressions that need deliverance. Listen to this sermon from guest preacher Erik Bonkovsky as we consider the savior who looks for us, listens to us, and moreso, loves us enough to be our solution when everything else falls short. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

The Bible is full of examples of faith, many of which are particularly unlikely and uniquely inspiring. One such example is the unnamed centurion in Matthew 8. His story illustrates not only that you don’t have to fit a particular mold to have faith, but also that in response to faith alone, Jesus can and will act in miraculous ways. Listen to this sermon as we explore the empowering simplicity of faith in a powerful savior. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.
