Central Community Church

We live in a world where we constantly battle things and people that want to rule us. And they will - if we let them. It requires diligence to to keep Christ “on the throne” - as the Ruler and King of our lives. God’s desire and plan has always...

God, out of sheer grace, called Abram and named him Abraham. He renamed him ‘father of a multitude’ before he and Sarah even had one child together, promising him innumerable descendants. There would come through the line of Abraham one particular...

We typically think of Advent beginning in Bethlehem but it actually began in Eden. To tell the Christmas story most accurately, we need to begin at the first reference to Christ’s coming, Genesis 3:15. From the first moment of judgement, the promise...

The Christian community has often been accused of “shooting its wounded”. What do we do when someone is carrying a load that is beyond their ability to bear - specifically a burden caused by sin? How are we to deal with this scenario in the church?...

What should Christians do about our differences over non-essential issues? And how do we love one another despite our differences? How do we balance Christian Liberty with Christian Charity? Ultimately, we sacrifice our own desires for the sake of...

To let the word of Christ dwell in us richly is to make the gospel the focus and centrepiece of our gatherings. Our teaching and admonishing happens as we disciple one another in the gospel in all of life.

Service and submission are unpopular words these days. Community service is something judges force law breakers to do. Submission goes against our culture's quest for autonomy. Yet we follow Jesus, who washed feet and bore a criminal's...

We are instructed to "confess [our] sins to one another" (James 5:16) and yet we often find it extremely difficult to do. Confession can only take place when we stop lying to ourselves and to others and we acknowledge the truth about...

The early church understood the need for encouragement, along with “building one another up” and “spurring one another on” towards good deeds. To “in-courage” literally means to “put courage into someone”. Giving them the ability to do something that...

The record of debt that stood against every Christian, too great to ever pay on their own, has been paid by Jesus at the cost of His death on a cross. In light of such forgiveness — such grace — we are able to forgive others from the heart.

The Corinthian Church lost it’s main reason for why they gathered and why they participated in Communion. Paul’s command “wait for” instructs “care for one another”, “receive one another warmly”, “grant one another table fellowship”, “show hospitality...

Hospitality is the practice of extending friendship to strangers. Literally, 'love of strangers'. Jesus reveals His love for us who were far off, hopeless, and distant from God by bringing us near and welcoming us in. A life that has been...

A church that loves one another is without a doubt a church that prays for one another. And a church that prays for one another is without a doubt a church that loves one another. We are commanded to pray for one another and that command is full of...

We begin a new series on being Christian-community with Jesus' command that we love one another as He loved us. Incarnation-love: no distance He would not go. Cross-love: no sacrifice too great. Gospel-love: the most compelling, total love...

We spent the morning hearing missionary updates, praying for our missionaries and partner missions organizations, and discovered that part of learning to be a disciple of Jesus means we must also 'unlearn' things.

We conclude our series in the book of Hosea with the prophet's final plea for people to return to God, repent of sin, and live in His mercifully abundant provision with our chief affections.

Do you know what it's like to have a wayward child? God does too. On Sunday Pastor Eldon preached on 'God's Way With A Wayward Child'.

This summer series consists of the illustrations used in the book of Hosea. They are ultimately portraits of God's redeeming love. This week's illustration is of an udderly stubborn heifer.

There are a number of illustrations throughout the Book of Hosea. Two of those are about a luxuriant vine and grapes in the wilderness. These are, ultimately, portraits of God's redeeming love.
