I Wanna Be Like You-FATHER’S DAY!
"Children are a gift from God"-but God gives us VERY SPECIFIC insights in how to raise children and empower them to stand firm, and to drink from the Lord! Don takes us through 2 powerful passages: Psalm 127 ("Unless the Lord builds the house...") and Deuteronomy 11 ("Write these things on your doorposts, bind them on your foreheads, etc) and how these show the framework for child raising! The PRIMARY GROUPING for Discipleship has always been THE HOME! Included in this is inspiring worship from Central Wired Praise, and an uplifting Communion Message from Ronnie Foster! May you be encouraged to "Be Like Him" in your Home! Shalom!

    The IMPACT of Worship
    HOW do you deal with "Storms" in your life? God challenges us to PRAISE HIM in THE STORM! Now that's hard to do sometimes, but God doesn't want us to worship because HE needs it, but rather because WE need it! He knows that "What we worship, shapes us!" And how we choose to deal with our struggles should be through the intentional act of worship! This incredible Sunday time of worship, includes words and music from our Central Wired Praise Team, led by Franklin Smith; a special description of Pentecost that features ANDY MASON leading our Worship Team in music; and a special song from guest artists WON BY ONE from Pepperdine University! The whole day was focused on Worship and our prayer is that you are encouraged by this podcast and empowered to put your praise where it belongs: On God! Shalom

    All Who Are Thirsty
    Have you ever felt unworthy? Tired and thirsty? We look for worldly "wells" to draw from, but Jesus satisfies all who are thirsty! In this study, Don gets us to look at the interaction between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4, and gets us to see that HE is what we need, HE is the well of living water that we should draw from, and that we are more important that we realize! Included in this podcast is music from Central Wired Praise (under the leadership of Franklin Smith) and Communion Meditation by Franklin Smith. May you be encouraged drink from His everlasting love! Shalom!

    LIFTED UP!
    Have you ever had your HOPE battered? Felt hope-less? We get DOWN...but HE Lifts us up! In this study, Don gets us to look at the daughter of Jairus from Mark 5, and gets us to see that HOPE is what we need, and it is THE product that the Church should be distributing the most! Included in this podcast is music from Central Wired Praise (under the leadership of Franklin Smith) and Communion Meditation about Memorial Day by Don Nickles. May you be encouraged to NEVER lose hope! Shalom!

    A Mother’s Love is A Gift From God
    If you had an audience with the most powerful man on earth, what would you ask him? Don helps us explore the story of a woman that did just that in Matthew 15! We see her character as a Mother and what makes her faith GREAT! We also can see that if God is awesome, we don't have to be! He's awesome for us! Included in this podcast is music from Central Wired Praise led by Franklin Smith and Communion Meditation by Robbie Loveall. God bless you and Shalom!

    March on Missions-Let’s Change the Stream!
    MARCH ON MISSIONS...Jesus promised us power, and He even gave us directions on what to do with that power-BE HIS WITNESSES! Through the month of March, we will focus on the need for Mission Work, our overall Mission Plan, and some of the works that we support here at Central Christian! Even if you do not live here, you will be encouraged by what is going on in The Kingdom! Included in this are some new songs from Central Wired Praise, and a communion Meditation by Andrew Helton. We WILL make a difference in this world, because He gave us the power to make a DIFFERENT WORLD! 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
