Jonah Runs…
ARE...YOU...JONAH? Don begins a new series on the life of the "Runaway Prophet" and shows us that there are some VERY real issues that you and I face that make us very similar to Jonah! This story has themes like disobedience, racism, judgmental attitudes...but the overall theme is GOD'S RELENTLESS GRACE!  He is pursuing you and me...and He won't give up! This podcast is SERMON only. May you be encouraged and challenged by God's Word! Shalom!

    Sustaining Grace
    I know God's Grace SAVES me, but will it sustain me when life gets hard? Join us as Don finishes the series on "Grace That Amazes" and  brings it back to Titus 2:11-the very verse we started the whole series with. And no matter WHAT you've done...God still loves you and will be with you! His grace sustains you in every situation, but is training us to live a different life! This podcast is sermon only. Shalom!

    Obstacles to Grace
    What is holding you back from living in GRACE? What does it really look like to "flesh out" this Grace stuff? Don takes us to Paul's "thorn in the flesh" to talk about how we can shine God's mercy through our struggles! Included in this is a powerful communion meditation by John Bridges, and a great song from  "Citizen Way" called "How Sweet The Sound", as well as worship music from Central Wired Praise! May you be encouraged to get rid of the barriers to you walking in grace! Shalom!

    If you GET the Gift of Grace...what do you do with it? Don takes us to the Parable of the Unforgiving Debtor...and challenges us to not only RECEIVE grace...but to give it to someone this week! Is there someone in YOUR life that needs a little grace? Included in this podcast is INCREDIBLE music from Central Wired Praise and an inspiring Communion Meditation by Roy Buckley. As you listen today, may God put on your heart a desire to GIVE the Gift of Grace to someone in your life this week! Shalom!

    ALL FIRED UP!
    Why are revivals so often "Short Lived?"  Don takes us to I Kings 18 and the story of Elijah and the Prophets of Baal to help us get a glimpse of how our Faith Journey sometimes has really powerful times of closeness to God and other times where Spiritual Lethargy takes over. This story gives us great hope and the sermon thoughts are practical and challenging. Included in this podcast is Communion Meditation by Chek Rippee and music from Central Wired Praise. May you draw close to the Father...and may HE help you to stay on fire for God! Shalom!

    20/20 VISION…Do You Have It?
    Scripture encourages us that "without vision, the people perish!" As we begin 2014, Don challenges us with 10 points of things that Central Christian WILL do before the year 2020, just 6 short years away. Some of these are very big dreams and are going to require a great deal of work, but with God's leading, we will "Follow the Presence of Yahweh" and He will make the path clear! Included in this is uplifting music from Central Wired Praise, and an inspiring Communion Devotional from Chad Beach! Our hope is that 2014 is your best year ever...and that God continues to lead this church into HIS likeness! Shalom

    The Call To Remember
    "Mary cherished these things in her heart..."-SHE REMEMBERED! As 2013 comes to a close, Don challenges us to REMEMBER all that God has done for us individually...AND collectively here at Central! The teaching comes from Deuteronomy 8, and challenges us to not worship other idols ("Our choices REVEAL our gods!") and to remember that all we have is from him! The study concludes with a powerful time of Communion with a song called "Remembrance!" May you be encouraged to "cherish" all God has done for you! Shalom!

    The Heaviest Christmas Ever!
    From the Hebrew, "glory" translates as "weight", and Don uses this study time to propose this statement: Earth has a WEIGHT problem, and we're not talking about "pounds!" We put GLORY and WEIGHT on things that don't deserve glory and can't handle the weight! We stress during the holidays about things that don't matter! And we miss a powerful lesson from those shepherds in the field-"An Angel of the Lord appeared to them  and the GLORY of the Lord shone all around them!" Included in this study is some encouraging music from Central Wired Praise, and a very special communion mediation from Jack Willis. May this Christmas be the HEAVIEST you've ever had, because you chose to put the Glory where it belongs! Shalom

    Who’s Your Daddy?
    Knowing where you come from, can change where you are going! Don takes a look at Galatians 3:26-4:7 where Paul tells us that we were once SLAVES, but that our Father has ADOPTED us into His Family! As we look at how "adoption" works and how much it takes to make that move in a family, it makes us keenly aware of what a "Beloved Child of God" we really are! Included on this podcast is a very special communion meditation from Chek Rippee and music from Central Wired Praise! Shalom...and may you KNOW your Daddy...and know how MUCH He loves you!
