Serving as Leaders
Peter shares a lot about Christian life and what it should look like. In 1 Peter, he discusses our progression from new believers to what will happen as we mature in Christ. He is direct in the challenges we will face and the difficulties we will have to overcome. He concludes this letter in 1 Peter 5 by addressing the conduct of the church. In this sermon, Heath Hudspeth will dig into 1 Peter 5:1-11 and look at what Peter shared through the Holy Spirit on how the leaders and the congregation should respond as they follow the Holy Spirit and draw closer to Christ?
Mark 4:1-12
Why did Jesus teach in parables? What do we do with His parables? Why

Re-Digging the Wells
As we pursue Christ, the enemy is always working to rob us of our passion for the Lord. When he succeeds, it leaves us spiritually dry and ineffective. The way Isaac responds in a difficult situation in Genesis 26 gives us a great “spiritual blueprint” on how to “Re-Dig the Wells” of our life.

The Parable of the Talents
This morning, we will explore the call to make disciples through the “Parable of the Talents.” As Jesus made disciples, he taught them to make other disciples. Discipleship was Jesus’ strategic plan for the spread of the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Through this parable, Jesus illustrates the great importance of obeying this call.
Biblical Church Leadership
With this sermon, Dan Werthman begins a short series on the marks of spiritual maturity. We especially desire for our leaders to model these marks, and so this series applies directly to our process of selecting new elders, which begins this month. Dan will be explaining more about our elder selection process, and how you can participate as a member of Central Church.

A Beautiful Mess: Week 5
What does it mean to be a “fleshly” or “carnal” Christian? This week we’ll look at what Paul teaches about this and how it impacts a church in 1 Corinthians 3:1-4.
A Beautiful Mess: Week 4
Dan Werthman teaches from 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 to see what the difference between a “natural person” and a “spiritual person” is, and why this makes a difference in our relationships.
One In Christ
In the midst of chaos and on the way to the cross, Jesus prayed for his disciples: ‘That they may be one.’ And the book of Acts presents us with a perfect picture of Christian unity. In this message, John Andrew will examine the nature of unity within the body of believers.
A Beautiful Mess: Week 2
A house divided cannot stand. Neither can a church. In this sermon, Pastor Dan looks at 1 Corinthians 1:10 to see how divisions start in the church, and how to overcome them.
A Beautiful Mess: Week 1
You’ve probably heard the expression that “relationships are messy.” When we bring the messiness of relationships and the reality of our sin nature into the community of the church, it’s no wonder that church is often “messy.” But the Bible points us beyond the messiness of the church to see its beauty. We begin to see how today in 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.
Baptism
What is baptism? Why do we believe that it is so important? Today, Dan Werthman teaches on the importance of baptism.
The Kingship of Christ
When you reflect on who Jesus is, how often do you think about Him as King? Luke Jackson leads us through what God’s Word says about His Kingship.
