Why did God choose Mary to bring Jesus into the world? What did Mary have to deal with in her culture when she was found pregnant? How did Joseph feel when he learned? The Christmas story is filled with so many questions. But have you ever asked this question: how should I live after I learn this story? Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as we dive into Mary’s life and how her example can show us how God ca...

Did you know that God doesn’t need our faithfulness in order for Him to be faithful to us? Even when we are unfaithful to God, God remains faithful. We get to read about God’s faithfulness with Zachariah’s story in the Bible. Zachariah laughed in the face of God’s messenger when he heard that he would have a kid in his old age. But God didn’t move on. He still fulfilled His promise. Join Pastor Je...

Does it sometimes feels like God is silent in your life? You're not the only one. The Israelites experienced 400 years of silence between the end of the old testament and the beginning of the new testament. This silence is not wasted! Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as he shows us how God uses silence to listen, wait, and trust.

Did you know that just because we have given up on someone, it doesn't mean that God has given up on them? Jonah had given up on Ninevah. He wanted them to all be punished. God had other plans and wanted to see them redeemed. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan for this challenging message from Jonah. 

God used a “big fish” in Jonah’s life to redirect Jonah onto a better path. Did Jonah enjoy it? No way! But through that experience, God was able to use Jonah to save an entire city. What can God do in your life using undesirable circumstances? Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as he shows us from Jonah’s life what God can do with “big fishes.”

Have you ever run away from God? Jonah did. Jonah’s story shows us what it means to follow God. Following God often means doing things that make us uncomfortable. Join us this weekend as Pastor Cal Jernigan shows us how Jonah’s story applies to our lives today.

Did you know God has given us gifts? This is one of the reasons that God sent the Holy Spirit. God wants to use us and the gifts He gives us to show the world His love. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as he shares about how God can use the Spirit in your life.

What are you passionate about? When we are passionate, we are willing to do almost anything to fulfill that passion. Do you know what God is passionate about? You and me. God gave everything so that we could be with Him. How might God use your passion to show others His love? Join Pastor Cal Jernigan this week as he shows us how the Holy Spirit can use our passions to love others.

Addiction is everywhere. Most of us think of drug abuse or alcoholism when we hear the word addiction. These are certainly some of the most destructive forms of addiction, but there is so much more. In order to find freedom from addictions both big and small, we all need to first acknowledge the addictive patterns in our lives. This can be so difficult when there is so much shame surrounding addic...

Anxiety and fear have a stigma surrounding them. Some say, “You have anxiety? Why don’t you trust in God?” However, these statements often cause more shame and pain to those who are struggling. Many people struggle with anxiety and it can be debilitating and frustrating. Join Pastor Jeremy Jernigan this weekend as he shares from Scripture how Jesus is with you in your anxiety and fear.

Everybody has a story. We have experiences and events in the past that have shaped who we are today. Trauma and abuse are far more common than any of us realize. What’s the worst things that have ever happened to you? The world tells you to minimize your pain, but that isn’t what God does. He hears you and sees you. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan today as he brings this message about abuse and trauma.

What is the deal with shame? Shame can be good at times, but other times it paralyzes us. We can feel like we aren’t able to be ourselves because of shame. The shame of what has been done to us, what we have done, or what others say about us can destroy our souls. Shame says, “I am something bad.” But that is not what God says or has ever said about you. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as he jumps into t...

Mental health is important. Why then is there a stigma about it in the Church? We wouldn’t shame someone for having a broken leg or a cold. Why then is there shame related to depression or anxiety? Do you feel alone and broken? God sees you. It is ok to not be ok. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan this weekend as he explores why it is important that we talk about mental health.

We have been through a long and tiring season. It has felt like a tornado has ripped through our midst and many of us have trauma from the past year and half. This makes the church even more important than before. Join us as Pastor Cal Jernigan gives a message on how we are staying the course here at Central.

What can we learn from Samson’s story about self-control? So often we are tempted to give up what we really want in the future for what feels good now. How can we look to God in these times instead of ourselves, so that we can exhibit the last fruit of the Spirit, self-control?

What is kindness? No, really. What is the kindness that God calls us to demonstrate to the world? What if kindness was more than just opening the door for someone behind you? What if kindness was how God wants to use you to bring his kingdom down to earth? Join us for this message by Pastor Steve Carter on what God’s goodness and kindness is all about.

How do you get more patience? Many of us image that patience is waiting and doing nothing, but what if being patience can be active as well? Join us this weekend as Pastor Jeremy Jernigan shows us how God can use us as we grow our patience.

What is the difference between being happy and being joyful? Sometimes we think that having joy is being overly optimistic, but that’s not what the Bible has to say about joy. Join us as Pastor Tyler Hart gives a powerful message on Joy and how it can change your life. 

What does it mean to actually follow Jesus? How do you discern the difference between an authentic Christ follower and a fake one? Jesus said that those who really follow Him will be known by the fruits produced by their lives. What does that mean? Join for this message by Pastor Cal Jernigan as he describes the most basic way to be a follower of Jesus.

Want to increase your influence while also keeping your sanity? Sometimes we can think that the busier we are the more productive we are. However, what if having margin in your life is what you actually need to succeed? Join us this weekend as we watch Michael Todd’s message from the 2020 Global Leadership Summit and learn some incredible insights from his journey.
