Center Church Dubai

As we move onto the second topic of our short sermon series, our hope is to continue to equip the church with what the Lord has truly accomplished for us on the cross. This week we see how the scriptures point out that no works of man, no charitable deeds, no church sermons and bible studies could ever make one right with God, unless they are willing to lay down their efforts and place their faith...

This summer, Center Church begins a short sermon series as we desire to marvel at and deepen our understanding of the rich gift of salvation for sinners. We begin this week with the tremendously humbling foundational truth that we are helplessly incapable of saving ourselves, yet we rejoice in the eternal hope of the gospel of our Lord Jesus. Pastor Isaac Thomas answers a vital and fundamental que...

The call to forgive those who have wronged us can often feel like a hard commandment because emotions such as hurt, bitterness and anger can discourage and weigh us down. Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches ‘Faith to Forgive’ from Luke 17:1-10 as we heed to Jesus’ encouragement to place faith before our feelings, so that we are spurred on to obey joyfully and enjoy peace with man and God.

In our journey through the parables of Jesus, let us continue to come to Him in dependence as little children would. This week we are diving deeper into the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector and exploring more on how our righteousness as believers is not based on our deeds. Ribu Samuel preaches on 'Our Hope In God's Righteousness', from Luke 18:9-14 to help us see the kind...

God's invitation to enter into His Kingdom is open to all who believe in His way of righteousness. And yet, very few enter because they want to enter on their own terms. This week as Alex Isac preaches ‘Marveling at God’s Acceptance’ from Matthew ⁠21:28⁠-32, as we consider the kindness and mercy of God in enabling the undeserving to enter into His kingdom.

Last week, we looked at how God hides saving truth from those who are proud and claim to know it all. Yet He sent his Son to save these same men who rely on their own efforts to find security and salvation. In the same vein, this week we will look at a parable in which Jesus calls out man’s fruitless responses to God’s Word that do not reflect the impact of the gospel on sinful hearts. Pastor Isaa...

The call to live in godly dependance in a culture that promotes the need to be self-sufficient, is an ongoing conflict that many Christians face. How then can we be at peace and rest, when the demands of the world weigh us down and the commands in Scripture also feel burdensome, leaving us weary within. This week we continue to look at Jesus' invitation to rest from Matthew ⁠11:25⁠-30 and unpa...

Paul emphasizes a believer’s non-optional participation in the ordinance of the Lord’s table. However, in a world where spiritual practices are ritualized, we must be certain the Lord’s table is beyond the elements of food and drink. How then should a believer understand and participate in the Lord’s supper? Join us as Govind Ramachandran preaches ‘The Supper to Remember’ / 1 Corinthians ⁠11:17⁠-3...

As Christians, who are called to be set apart, we often find ourselves enticed by the ways of the world, and failing to abide by God’s commands. This is why the Bible weaves for us the lives of those who are righteous, so that we can be encouraged to follow in their footsteps. Alex Isac preaches 'Blessedness of the Righteous' from Psalm 1 as we look deeper into how much more desirable and...

It’s that time of the year! Many of us, yearning for some rest from our hectic schedules, choose to take a summer break but often return exhausted. True rest remains elusive, until we find it in the person of Christ, who invites the weary to come to him in Matthew ⁠11:28 This Sunday as Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches 'An Invitation to Rest', as we look into various passages in Scripture and c...

Scripture urges us to resist the schemes of the devil for he is constantly prowling like a lion. But, as Christians how do we equip ourselves to do so? This week, we walk through Ephesians ⁠6:10⁠-18, as Allan Abraham preaches 'Armed & Onward', where we study Paul’s response to the church at Ephesus and understand the armor we are given as God’s children, which represents the defence we...

Our God is calling us into a deeper fellowship with him and our worship of God, reveals our acknowledgement of his worth. Alex Isac preaches ‘Worshipping at the Wrong Altar’ from 1 Corinthians ⁠10:14⁠-22, as we remind ourselves to flee from idolatry and return to one who jealously loves us.

This Sunday, Pastor Samuel Iwuchukwu preached 'Our Praise is to Yahweh whose Reign is Forever’ from Psalm 146, examining where our help and hope comes from - whether it is in God or apart from Him and how this affects our praise.

We look forward to gathering together and worshipping God with you this Sunday. As we continue our study in Corinthians, Paul draws our attention to Israel as a nation that was called out to be a witnessing community, to warn hearts that are prone to wander from our primary purpose and joy. Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches 'Preserving A Missional Mindset' from 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, as we seek...

The gospel ought to be a Christian’s greatest privilege and priority, as evidenced by the life of Paul. He humbled himself to the point of forfeiting his fundamental Christian freedom for the sake of the gospel. His life evidenced that nothing was more important than preaching the gospel and he laboured solely for the reward that God would bestow upon him when he finishes his race. This week Govin...

This week we dwell on the rest of chapter 7 from 1 Corinthians to understand the richness of God’s grace as He calls each of us from our unique life situations to live for his glory. Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches ‘Preparing for the Wedding’ from 1 Corinthians 7:8-40 as we journey alongside one another like a bride on her mission, compelled by the redeeming love of our groom, Jesus.

As we resume our journey through 1 Corinthians, we dwell on chapter 7 over the next two weeks to understand God’s original design for marriage and also look at our calling in specific life situations.  While our journeys may be unique, our hope is that God is preparing us for ‘The Wedding’ that he has planned for us.  Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches ‘Preparing for the Wedding’ from 1 Corinthians 7:1-...

This Easter Sunday, as we remember what it means for us that He is alive, Alex Isac preaches “I Am the Resurrection and the Life” from John ⁠11:17⁠-27, pointing us to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who has conquered the grave, giving us hope in the midst of grief and loss.

The Bible frequently speaks of "the one who conquers" or "overcomes" or "wins the victory." But what does this phrase mean? And can it be misused? How do we know if this is us?  Today, Eric Zeller preaches 'Victory in Jesus’ from Revelation 21:5-8 to help us answer these questions and to see from this text how we can have true victory in Jesus, forever.

As we journey here on this earth, in a culture that is licentious, do moral boundaries increasingly feel restrictive? So then, how does a Christian remain pure and joyful when surrounded by these sensual pleasures? This week as we look at how Paul encourages those who struggle with sexual immorality from 1 Corinthians ⁠6:12⁠-20, as Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches 'The Limitless Boundaries of Grac...

As we continue seeking his face through the letter to the Corinthians, Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches 'Pursuing Holiness in Love' from 1 Corinthians 5:1-8, where we look at Paul’s response to the Corinthian church’s ignorance of a case of ongoing sexual immorality, and understand that church-discipline is part of God’s design for His church to remain faithful and loving.

We live in a time where the lines between right and wrong are increasingly becoming blurred. Similar to the Corinthian church, we may also resort to settling our disputes and grievances by applying worldly principles instead of relying on God's word. Alex Isac preaches ‘A Greater Law, A Higher Call’ from 1 Corinthians 6:1-11, as we reflect on and willingly choose to obey God’s call to suffer e...

The journey of a believer from the old self to the new self is the divine work of God through His very word. Govind Ramachandran preaches on ‘The Cross-over’ from Ephesians ⁠4:17⁠-24, as we understand how this journey starts with a change in man's mind, from being futile in his old self to being righteous and holy for a God - in the new person He has transformed us to be.

During his earthly ministry, Jesus Christ was asked the question about inheriting eternal life on multiple occasions. His answer did more than baffle the questioners; it helped them and us today to understand our deepest need and his grand provision. Pastor Jose Philip preaches ‘Inheriting Eternal Life’ from Luke ⁠10:25⁠-28 as we meditate on this truth that ought to shape our daily living.

This week Ribu Kurien preaches on 'The Kingdom of God & the Church' from 1 Corinthians 4:8-21, about how the people of God are called not just to talk about Christian living but to live holy lives by the power that God gives the people of His Kingdom.
