Central Community Church

The sovereignty of God is one of the big themes in our Bibles and it is given so that we might not loose hope in a world that is plagued by sin. While sin operates in this world, God has not lost control. He brings nations up and he takes them down...

Where is God in trying circumstances? He is in the midst of them. How are we called to live in the midst of trying circumstances? As faithful, compelling followers of Jesus.

Our God is a missionary God always pursuing His lost children and His broken creation. As His people, the church, we too are on this mission. Corporately and individually we are all SENT into the world, right outside our front door and across the...

The pastor is the one who does ministry, right? I mean, isn’t that what we pay him for? Well, not according to Scripture.

Apart from Him we can do nothing but when we are empowered by the Spirit it is for the good of the church, the world, and it makes much of Jesus.

Jesus did not intend for His followers to travel solo, but to walk with one another as they look to Him. When believers in Jesus gather in community, we help one another form new habits and rhythms of life that keep us learning from Jesus, sharing...

Being rooted in the Bible is one of the most foundational aspects of our church. We believe in the inspiration of Scripture, that is, the very words that God wanted us to know have been recorded for us today. Ultimately, the Scriptures point us to the...

When we say that one of our values (and we put it first on the list intentionally) is to be centred on the gospel what we mean by that is the Good News of Jesus Christ — His finished work on the cross of atoning for our sin and offering us the free...

Central’s mission is Jesus Christ’s mission. It has to be. We — as His followers — have to be about what Jesus is about. And He calls every one of His followers to be disciple-making disciples of Jesus.

Jesus teaches his disciples to pray for deliverance from evil because we rescue ourselves. His prayer reminds us that sin is far more damaging than we normally think, but also that God’s grace is far greater than we can imagine. Once we understand...

The 6th petition in the Lord’s Prayer is “Lead us not into Temptation”. Jesus reminds those who follow him too their spiritual weakness and proneness to sin. This prayer is a call to become alert and watchful in our prayers to guard us from...

The command to forgive others goes to the very heart of the Gospel because our own forgiveness depends on it. Embracing this most difficult part of the Lord's prayer is the key to true peace with God and others, making it also one of the most...

The great truth that is spoken by Jesus in this short verse is that God is approachable and will respond mercifully towards each one of us. As we come before God, humbly imploring him to forgive us, it does not matter what we have done or how big our...

To pray “give us this day our daily bread” is to recognize that God actually cares about the minute details of our lives, is the One whom we depend upon for everything, and that we are to pray for enough.

We pray for God’s will to be done, but do we know what that means? God’s will is that his glory would radiate out from this world because of what Jesus Christ has done. We as Christians have the awesome privilege of joining in with that work, so...

To pray “Your Kingdom come” is to pray “my kingdom go”, “Make your Kingdom visible in the world through the Church", and “Come, Lord Jesus!”.

That Jesus invites and enables us to call God, "Father" reveals His goodness and grace. That He is our "Father in Heaven" reveals His greatness and glory.

This passage takes a closer look at Sabbath rest – an often misunderstood and lacking habit in our spiritual routines. But if we are to truly have relationship with Jesus, we must understand and engage Sabbath rest because Jesus declared himself the...
