Central Church Sermons

In Luke 10 Jesus sends out believers to every place he was about to go. Today, we will look at how He sent them and the results that came from their obedience. This is an important passage to learn from because Jesus is sending us out as well. As we enter into a season of sending people out, it is essential that we understand and act on the Mission of the Church that is laid out in Luke 10.

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.

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.

A pastor once told the story of a little boy who had a pack of Smarties candy. Upon the pastor expressing his love for Smarties, the boy made sure to always share the first piece of candy with the pastor whenever the boy received a new pack.
