Message for 04.13.14 :: Join the Central Family as we come together to honor God's sacrifice of His son through sharing in Communion. This is a special time to prepare our hearts for Easter and the message of hope it brings.

Message for 04.06.14 :: "Don't sweat the small stuff," says a popular book, "and it's all small stuff." How do we determine the difference between the big and small stuff and learn to enjoy the little things in life? In this message, we’ll consider how living in God's yes allows us to celebrate the little things as a gift.

Message for 03.30.14 :: Have you ever felt like life is a test nobody is prepared for? In our culture, we're bombarded with self-help and popular therapies for all kinds of things, but where do we find practical, time-tested advice that will work for our lives? The Bible calls this wisdom and has loads of it for our lives. In this message, we'll consider what it means to build our lives on God's word and live with God's wisdom.

Message for 03.23.14 :: "Everybody is working for the weekend." We've heard the song, and it reflects the challenge of daily work. Work is often hard, thankless and can sometimes feel purposeless. The good news is that when we say yes to God, we can also say yes to work under Him. Our daily grind can take on a whole new meaning as we serve God in the everyday. Nothing we do at work is unrelated to God. In this message, we'll see what it means to view work as a gift.

Message for 03.16.14 :: A lot of people see God as the God of no. He's like the distant parent who's only there to keep us in line. But what if you saw God as the God of yes? God has already said yes to us in Jesus. In this message, we'll discover the promises God has already given us, and we'll consider how to respond with "yes" back to Him.

Message for 03.09.14 :: Living in God's yes starts with saying yes to God. Not, "Yes, but," or "Yes, maybe," but "Yes, Lord." These are two of the most powerful words ever uttered by human beings, and they can reframe our lives. In this message, we'll look at what it means to say, "Yes, Lord" in every area of life and experience the joy of surrender.

Message for 03.02.14 :: Even if you think you've found your perfect match, people change. The person you fall in love with gradually turns into someone different - and so do you. Luckily, love isn't limited by personality, appearance or age...only by commitment. Come learn about how God can empower you to invest in the one you're with and fall in love all over again

Message for 02.23.14 :: A relationship message by special guest Tommy Politz, Senior Pastor of Hillside Church in Amarillo, Texas.

Message for 02.16.14 :: The closer you are to someone, the more obvious and annoying their faults become. Its natural to think, "If they changed, things would be better," but there is only one person you have the power to change: yourself. Come tap into the age-old wisdom of the Bible and learn how to radically improve at least half of the problems in your relationship.

Message for 02.09.14 :: People spend a lot of time and effort trying to find that first, true love. They consult friends, social media and dating websites to find a person worth marrying. But the first question of marriage isn't who to marry, but why to be married at all. Come discover how God's purpose for marriage can help you find (and be) the right person.

Message for 02.02.14 :: No one makes it to the superbowl overnight. Each player has invested thousands of hours of training to get where they are. They were chosen for the team, but to make it to the big game, they had to put on their gameface everyday and work toward the prize. The same is true of faith. God chooses us as His own, but we train for the prize. The more His love works its way into our daily practice, the better we get at playing the only game that matters. Join us on Superbowl weekend and discover what the Bible has to say about playing to win. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Message for 01.26.14 :: Every relationship is based on trust, that's why we describe a good spouse, friend or pet as faithful. The more the other person lives up to their promises, the more meaningful and long-lasting the relationship is. The same is true with God, except He always keeps His promises. The way we improve our relationship with Him is through our own faithfulness. Come discover how to base your life on His promises instead of your own fears.

Message for 01.19.14 :: It's tempting to think that satisfaction is only one transaction away. We live in a world where an endless stream of products and services promise to fill the gap between what we have and what we want - but the Bible teaches that satisfaction begins on the inside by finding joy in what we already have. Come discover the life-changing gift of contentment.

Message for 01.12.14 :: Everyone complains. When things don't go our way, or conflicts and obstacles rise up against us, often our first response is to grumble. While this may feel natural, it's not helpful - and may even do more harm than good. Studies show a strong link between thankfulness and personal health and happiness. Come learn how to kick off the New Year with an attitude of gratitude.

Message for 01.05.14 :: Your Story is like a book, we have a lot of pages we would like to edit. The thing about God is that He gives us a bunch of blank pages that are waiting to be filled. It's up to us to pick up a pen and write it.
