The Central Podcast

Christmas gatherings happen frequently. It can feel the same year after year. Col 3:12 can transform the way we look at these yearly gatherings. There is something about Christmas that makes it different than any other time of the year – it’s special. But if we are not careful, year after year of celebrating Christmas can dull us to what makes this time so extraordinary. So, what can we do to make...

So often we get stuck in land of longing, wishing to be in another place…a better place. No matter what we try, the BEST way to end up where He wants us is to enter His courts with THANKS …approach Him with PRAISE.  The best way to the longed-for land of contentment is through the gate of gratitude. 

Central dedicates lots of attention and resources to building stronger, Godlier families. On Family Worship Weekend we see and celebrate what God is doing in the hearts and lives of students at Central.

Central is hosting a TOWN HALL meeting. Don't worry - it's nothing political. Our Lead Pastor, Jon Henninger, will be answering your questions because your questions about your faith and Central are important!

In this final lesson we look at serving our intended purpose in making the most of every opportunity. Making every second count for the benefit of good for the Kingdom of God. John 15:5

The life we receive from the deeper source of Christ, is not to be kept for ourselves. Much like the leaf, we are designed to share the life-giving news with the world around us. Mark 16:15

In this lesson we explore how sometimes the purpose of the leaf and of our lives is to offer protection to those who need it. 2 Samuel 9 – Psalm 41:1

As the leaf reacts to the wind, so too were we created to move with the guidance of The Holy Spirit. Acts 17:28

Just as leaves draw their source of life from a source much deeper, Christians draw true life from the deepest source. God is the source of life that never runs dry. John 4:14

In life, there will be good days and bad. Seasons of famine and plenty. Knowing who we are, and WHOSE we are gets us through it all. Ecclesiastes 3:11

A tree full of leaves, each with their own color and characteristics, creates something more beautiful than a lone leaf could be on its own. Together, we are the church, a mosaic masterpiece designed and assembled by the Author of Life. Romans 12:4-5

Leaves are beautiful and unique. God created people in the same way. No two of us are the same but each precious in His sight. Psalm 139:14

Maybe you’ve had some great days but now you’re in a season of holding or even hiding. Don’t give up, God is the comeback King and your greatest days may still be ahead!
