On November 2, 2024, Chris Tomlin performed the world premiere of The First Hymn at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Ben Fielding joined him onstage that night to help gift this 1800-year-old song back to the world. In this special, shorter episode, you get a front row seat to a fireside chat with Chris as he introduces the new First Hymn to the world, for the first time. 

Love is more than a feeling; it's a promise, a passion, and a power strong enough to withstand life’s fiercest storms. The Song of Songs celebrates romantic love in marriage, yet ultimately points beyond itself to a deeper, covenantal love that no waters can quench. In Christ, we see a love sealed by promise, marked by holy jealousy, and proven stronger than death itself. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unfolds the promise, passion, and power of God’s unquenchable love for his people. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Pastor Wayne Penn, Jr. continues our series on The Hymns of Christ with this message from Philippians 2:5-11 on "A Beautiful Mind."

The survival and restoration of the nation of Israel is one of the most outstanding and thought-provoking confirmations of Bible prophecy. In this Watchman Report, we explore the inspiring and exceptional history of God's chosen people. From their ancient promises to Abraham, through centuries of dispersion and persecution, to their miraculous regathering in 1948, the story of Israel stands as a powerful witness to the reality of God and the truth of His Word. This presentation offers an insightful, Scripture-based exposition of why Israel exists today against all odds and what this means for our understanding of biblical prophecy.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction00:28 - The Modern Phenomenon of Israel01:08 - The Ancient Promise to Abraham02:20 - The Warning of Scattering03:32 - Disobedience and Exile04:09 - Persecution and Survival Through History05:25 - The Holocaust and National Rebirth06:30 - The War for Independence07:18 - A Miraculous Victory08:05 - Modern Conflicts and Survival08:27 - Bible Prophecy Fulfilled09:51 - Israel as God's Witness10:35 - The Promise of Future Fulfillment11:11 - Conclusion**Bible Verses Featured:**

Episode 2.80Why did the church move from singing only Psalms to writing and singing hymns—and was that shift faithful or dangerous?In this episode, Michael and Zach trace the history and theology of Christian hymnody, from the psalm-saturated worship of the early church to the rise of Christ-centered hymns, the Reformation divide, the golden age of hymn writing, and the modern praise movement. Along the way, we examine why hymns emerged in the first place, how they were used to teach doctrine and defend orthodoxy, and what was gained—and lost—as worship music changed over time.This is not a nostalgia tour or a critique for its own sake. It's an attempt to answer a deeper question: what do our songs do to us? If worship forms belief, affections, and theology, then the church must think carefully about what it sings. Psalms anchor us in God's Word. Hymns teach us to confess Christ clearly. Songs, for better or worse, shape the kind of Christians we become.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/-qx2wDD8CsEMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Tonight, we begin our 28 Nights of of Dark Devotion. This is a soft-spoken reading of The Descent of Persephone, drawn from the ancient myth told in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter.

Marriage carries deep hopes, wounds, and longings, yet Scripture invites us to see it as something far richer than culture’s changing definitions. In the Song of Songs, marriage is revealed as a joyful, covenantal union marked by exclusivity, mutuality, and enduring commitment. Beyond human relationships, marriage also points to a greater mystery — the faithful, pursuing love of Christ for his people. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unpacks a theology of marriage that reshapes how we understand love, commitment, and our ultimate hope in Christ. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 19:1-16SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Over the past few weeks, we have studied several Hymns of Praise in the book of Revelation, written by John, the beloved disciple. The opening verses in chapter 19 begin with the great multitude in heaven, the twenty-four elders, and the four living creatures offering praise and worship to our God. After this, I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just.” … And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.” - Revelation 19:1-2, 5 The English word “hallelujah” comes from a Greek term, which itself transliterates the Hebrew halle-lu-yah, meaning “Praise unto Yahweh.” This transliteration only appears here in the New Testament in verses 1, 3, 4, and 6. There is also rejoicing because the “wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.” This contrasts with the prostitute and her immoral lovers mentioned in previous chapters, featuring the Lamb and his pure bride in “fine linen, bright and clean.” The great vision, beginning in verse 11, shifts between Old Testament references and earlier mentions of Christ in Revelation. Christ will keep His word, because He is the Word of God. He is faithful & true! Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 199 - Rise, Thou Light of Gentile Nations: vv. 1, 4, 5 - 2 Corinthians 5:14-21: For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. Therefore, from now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. - Devotion - Prayer #139, p. 166 - Hymn 202 - Thou, Whose Almighty Word - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Rev.

In a culture obsessed with self-definition, the search for identity often leaves us restless rather than secure. Scripture offers a better way: identity received, not achieved, rooted in being fully known and deeply loved by God. The Song of Songs reveals how love shapes who we are and who we are becoming in Christ. Watch this sermon as Jason Harris explores how a theology of identity frees us from self-invention and grounds us in God’s transforming love. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

To state that Jesus is Creator and over all Creation addresses a specific heresy of the Colossian church and heresies we encounter today. Jesus as Creator means that angels are created by Him and are subject to Him. People are created by Him and subject to Him. The earth itself is created by Jesus and subject to Him. This is a bold and profound statement and the implications into our lives is significant. If Jesus is holding all things together, the earth and its gravitational pull, the angels and their activity, then He is powerful enough for the daily needs of our lives. Since Jesus has proven His love for us through the cross, I can trust that He is wielding this power through His character of love. The fact that Jesus is the initiator and source of my reconciliation, I can rest in the knowledge that He will faithfully keep me and carry me through this life. Prepare for this week's teaching by reading through Colossians 1:15-23, taking in the beauty of the truths Paul states about our Savior, Shepherd and King Jesus.

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 193 - Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun: vv. 1, 2, 4, 6 - 1 Peter 3:1-7: Wives, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, so that if some do not obey the Word, they might be brought over without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your respectful and holy behavior. Do not let your beauty be something outward, such as braided hair or wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather let your beauty be the hidden person of your heart – the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God's sight. In fact, that is also how the holy women of the past who put their hope in God made themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You are her daughters if you do what is good and do not fear anything that is intimidating. Husbands, in the same way, continue to live with your wives with the knowledge that, as the wife, she is the weaker vessel. Also continue to accord them honor as fellow heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. - The Nunc Dimittis (p. 124) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 561 - Abide With Me; Fast Falls the Eventide: vv. 1, 6, 8 - Postlude Service Participants: Adam Hoeft (Preacher), Ryan Samek (Organist)

Desire is often treated with suspicion or excess, but Scripture presents it as a good gift that reveals something essential about what it means to be human. In the Song of Songs, desire is shown as both divine and dangerous — meant to be cherished, yet requiring wisdom, patience, and proper direction. Ultimately, our deepest longings point beyond human love to a God who desires relationship with us more deeply than we imagine. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris explores how a theology of desire helps us understand our hearts, order our loves, and rest in the one who alone can truly satisfy. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In the foothills of Appalachia, Jordan Smith, a young boy from Harlan, Kentucky, found his voice in the hymns of a small country church. Years later, that voice would capture the nation’s heart when Jordan Smith won NBC’s The Voice in 2015. In our conversation, Jordan reflects on how hymns shaped his journey and how prayer and Scripture continue to anchor him through every season of life. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Tyler White, also known as DJ TyWy. Growing up on the spectrum, Tyler discovered the power of music to break through social struggles, from singing in talent shows to dancing at school events. Today, he DJs across Florida, including Autism Speaks Walks, using his platform to inspire others on the spectrum. In our conversation, Tyler reflects on perseverance, faith, and how music has shaped his journey and dreams.

Interview Quotes: “Hymns are songs that are meant to be memorized and sung together. They’re songs that bring people together, they are songs that are centered around the message of the gospel. They highlight the truth of Scripture. They also bring people together and allow people to experience that truth together.” - Jordan Smith “When you have a group of people coming together to sing these uplifting messages, to sing these messages of hope, and to sing these messages of the gospel, I think something just comes alive in you, and there’s something profound about it.” - Jordan Smith “I found myself in moments where worry was stealing the joy of what God was doing in my life. Worry was taking away the happiness that I should feel in doing what God created me to do. I had to learn how to cultivate a consistent prayer life with God in order to remain at peace in every situation. I continually had to come back, sometimes even every single day, to give Him the same worries and fears and trade them and exchange them for His love and His peace.” - Jordan Smith “I think the beautiful thing about faith and about a relationship with God is that it’s universal and it does bring unity and it does connect us together, but it’s also so extremely personal.” - Jordan Smith “Christian faith is built on Christ as the foundation, but it’s sustained by Christian community. And we need each other to get through this thing.” - Jordan Smith “With hard work, perseverance, determination, positive attitude, and faith in God, you can overcome any obstacle and do anything you set your mind to. I say that because really that’s how I’ve learned how to overcome things. I think everybody needs Jesus.” - Tyler White “With my life growing up on the spectrum, I always say my autism is what’s helped me draw closer to Jesus. And I think it’s very important, no matter what you go through, to always put Jesus first and He’ll help you. I always ask God to use me in the way He’d have for me to be and always make sure that I’m using this to glorify Him, as well as inspire others on the spectrum.” - Tyler White ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
