What are you giving birth to? If you are a guy, that might sound like an odd question, but it is for you too. What new thing does God want you to bring into this world and how much are you willing to sacrifice for God’s vision? Get ready for an amazing message from Pastor Jeremy Jernigan on how God can use you to do incredible things if you are willing to be selfless instead of selfish. 

God has an incredible plan for each and every one of us, but it often doesn’t involve comfort. The world tells us to settle down and get comfortable, but God calls us to constant growth and learning. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as he looks at Peter’s journey of discomfort in the Bible. See how God can use discomfort to grow us and enrich our lives in ways comfort never can.

What does it look like to demonstrate the power of God in our country today? The apostles of Jesus did not simply talk about making a difference in their world. They did something about it and used the power Jesus promised to them to do courageous things. Don’t you want to find out how to have that same courage and power in our world today? Join us as Danielle Strickland shows us how powerful God’...

There is so much despair in the world today. There is pain. There is murder. There is sin. But we do not need to live as ones who have been defeated! When Jesus died, the disciples sank into the deepest despair. All of their hopes and dreams were crushed. But that is not the end of the story! Join us for this Easter message from Pastor Cal Jernigan as he shows us that when it comes to Easter, we n...

Do you believe that God is up to something? We do. We also believe that the Bible is clear. God wants to use you to make a huge impact on the world, but He gives you a choice. You can say no. Many of us say that we want God to use us, but, when He asks, we either say no or are too distracted to hear. Join us this weekend as Pastor Steve Carter shows us how saying yes to God can both change our liv...

God celebrates nothing more than when someone comes back into relationship with Him! We are all wanted intensely and loved deeply by Jesus. You are loved. Your neighbor is loved. Your co-worker is loved. And God wants us to experience the joy of helping someone be reunited with His love. Join us for this message from Pastor Cal Jernigan all about how God wants you to be a part of changing another...

God values his children beyond anything else in creation. In fact, God wants us intensely and loves us deeply. God always searches for those who have wandered away. He wants everyone to know His love. Join us this weekend as Pastor Cal talks about how we are all W.I.L.D. (Wanted Intensely and Loved Deeply).

Sometimes we can start believing that the good news and freedom that is found in Jesus is only for ourselves. However, the Bible couldn’t be more clear—the gospel is for all people, tongues and nations.  Join us this weekend as we hear from Pastor Cal Jernigan and from our brothers and sisters oversees. Welcome to International Weekend at Central!  

What if God wants to use you to be the answer to a prayer? If we don’t learn to be generous with our time, influence, and resources, then how will we ever know?  Join us as we hear from Brad Formsma, author of “I Like Giving,” and how God wants to use us to make a difference in the world.

To get a FREE year of Ramsey+ and more visit: https://www.centralaz.com/enrich-path-to-financial-freedom Why is generosity so important? Many of us believe that we can only be generous when we have enough for ourselves. The problem with this belief is that few of us know how much is enough. We often find ourselves thinking that we are the source of our own provision. But God says, “No, I am the so...

It is so easy to think of life as a zero-sum game. The lie says, “If I give, then I won’t have.” What if God set up the universe in such a way that those who are generous are actually those who he blesses the most? What if a life of generosity offers infinitely more than a life of self-interest? Join us as we learn from Pastor Cal Jernigan on why generosity is so important to God. 

Did you know that there is someone who wants to destroy you every moment of your life?  Satan has tempted God’s most priceless creation–people—to forsake God since the beginning of history. Satan does this by making us doubt God’s good plans and intentions for us. What does this look like today? Join us for Pastor Cal Jernigan’s message to find out more.  

Does God value all life? Does God value unborn life? Abortion has been made a normal part of our everyday society. It is legal, it is utilized by many, but is it moral? Join us as we learn from Pastor Cal Jernigan where God’s heart is when it comes to unborn life.

What does God value the most? The Bible is clear that humans are God’s most prized creation. What do people usually value the least? Other people. Join us as Pastor Cal Jernigan demonstrates how devaluing other people is a sin.

Who gets to decide how valuable you are? With a worldview that excludes a creator, many scientists have reasoned that humans are a cosmic accident. They are not worth more than a rock or a tree. But that is not what the Bible teaches. The Bible says that you are priceless. God is wild about you and values you above all of the rest of His Creation. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as we talks about how val...

We often try to avoid problems and trials. Why? The simple answer is that we don't like suffering. However, it is through suffering that endurance is built. And from endurance we develop character. And character strengthen's our hope. Join Pastor Tyler Hart as he shows us how to move forward from suffering toward endurance, character, and hope.

2020 was filled with bad news. In fact, the word of the year describes the process of how we consume bad news online, doomscrolling. Amidst all the bad news, Christmas brings us good news. Over 2000 years ago a child was born. This child was the Messiah, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as he explains why this is the best good news ever.

Peace is something that we all want. Because of this, we go to things to help bring us peace. Maybe for you that is your job, family, success, or even coffee. Despite our best efforts, these things will leave us with a peace that is ultimately unfulfilling. Join Pastor Jeremy Jernigan as he shows us how true peace comes when we focus on Jesus.

Research shows that every one of us holds an average of 13 secrets and 5 of those secrets no one else knows about except us. Whether we have secrets or not, that statistic reminds us that we all need a little forgiveness and healing in our lives. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as he talks about how you can find healing from all shame and guilt in your life.

What do you want this Christmas? Deep down most of us just want to be wanted. No matter what our background is there is this hole in our hearts that wants to be filled by someone who will love, appreciate, and cherish us. Join us as Pastor Cal Jernigan shows us how that hole can be filled today!

What do you most desperately desire? We all remember the huge Christmas lists we would create as kids. However, most of us would also admit that none of the gifts we received on Christmas would ultimately satisfy us.  Despite this, even after growing up, many of us run after things that we desperately want only to be disappointed. Money, relationships, cars, and houses never seem to fill us. What...

Does God still speak to us today? If He does, how does He communicate? And, if He is trying to communicate to us, what are we doing to listen? Many people in our culture believe that God doesn’t communicate with us and/or that He doesn’t want to. Join Pastor Cal Jernigan as he shows us that God does still speak today and how to tune in so you can hear what God is saying.

There is so much noise in our world today. The noise of politics, emotions, finances, education, COVID-19, disunity, and so much more. Sometimes we can focus on the noise so much that we forget to take a step back and remember who is really in control. Pastor Cal Jernigan gives an incredible message that shows us how to stop listening to the noise and start focusing on what is important.

It is far too common for many of us to feel alone. Right now, loneliness is running rampant through our culture. Christians have been gathering together to worship for thousands of years, but is this necessary? Join us this week as Pastor Jeremy Jernigan teaches on why God made us for community. We are better together.
