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

- Dec 22, 2013The Heaviest Christmas Ever!
Dec 22, 2013The Heaviest Christmas Ever!By: Don ThomasSeries: Everyday Living...for JESUS!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
