Pastor Daniel continues the series in Exodus. Preaching on a familiar passage, Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush, Daniel asks "How can we know we have genuinely encountered God?" God prepares Moses and Moses responds with 2 questions that we all ask 1. God, Who am I? 2. God, Who are You?" Moses gives us a paradigm of what it means to meet God one to one.

Galatians 3:1-5 "The Power of the Cross - Part I" [06.04.2017] by Christ Central Durham
Pastor Timothy continues in our series in Galatians, looking at how we as Christians are to keep in step with the truth of the Gospel.
Pastor Daniel continues the series "Centered Faith", a study of the letter to the Galatians. The declaration of emancipation and the possession of freedom are 2 totally different things. Paul, a freedom fighter, fights for the gospel. In particular Paul was willing to fight for a Unified Community and a Unified Message for the sake of a Global Mission. What does freedom in Christ mean and are you living in this freedom?
Pastor Timothy continues our series in the book of Galatians looking at the second half of Chapter 1. Here Paul goes after the two thieves that so often rob us of the joy that we have been given in Christ.
Daniel’s main idea with this sermon is how Paul, the Apostle, was willing to fight for the truth and freedom of the gospel. There were teachers in Galatia distorting the true gospel and it was leading to people in the churches deserting the true gospel. A centered faith is a faith in Christ alone, plus nothing, that leads to worship and freedom.
Daniel’s Easter Sermon was an invitation to come and see the Resurrected Jesus. John 20 gives us 4 portraits; (v.1-10) Skeptical and Inquiring, (v.11-18) Downcast and Despairing, (v.19-23) Fearful and Self-Protected, (v.24-29) Doubting and Questioning. Jesus meets each of us where we are and gives us the gift of faith, and from faith in the resurrected Jesus comes another invitation of go and be sent. We are sent on the King’s Mission to proclaim Him to the world.
Daniel concluded our study of the Life of King David by discussing following King Jesus. We all follow that which we love, and we all want to follow a leader that is going to bring change for the better. Jesus comes in a way different than expected but it is way better. Jesus woos us through His great love displayed on the Cross, calls us to follow Him; which means 1. Believing all that we have is His 2. Trusting that He has the power to fix all that is broken 3. Counting the Cost.
Pastor Daniel continues the series in The Life of David. Why do we find prayer frustrating, confusing, boring, etc? The passage gives us a picture of David in the midst of prayer and Daniel preaches on what is prayer, the foundation of prayer, and how we respond to God's answers to our prayers. Experiencing God in prayer enables us to pray fervently and respond trustingly.
Pastor Timothy continues in the sermon series on the life of David by looking at 2 Samuel chapter 9. Here David chooses to keep covenant with Saul's grandson, Mephibosheth, in spite of grave consequences. In this text we learn that when we truly understand God's covenant love for us, it produces in us security, privilege and wonder.
Pastor Daniel continues the series The Life of David. Is it shocking that King David can be described as a man after God's heart and then be the one who commits adultery, murder, and lying? Daniel preaches on the nature of sin, and how the seeds of sin lie in all of our hearts. It is actually in understanding our sin that the gospel of Jesus and God's grace breaks through and changes us.
Pastor Daniel continues the series in the Life of David. In the passage there are 2 men who are dealing with the Ark of the Covenant, both men know a lot about God and the ark, but only 1 man is experiencing the God of the Ark. It has been said the longest distance of travel is the 18 inches from the head to heart, Daniel asks are we people who know a lot but aren't experiencing the joy of the gospel of grace. Jesus and the gospel of grace makes us people who dance. Are you dancing?
Pastor Timothy continues our series in the Life of David by looking at 1 Samuel 8 and unpacking the role of the king in the life of Israel as well as the implications of this truth for a 21st century Christian. What is the significance for us today of the fact that the long-awaited Messiah King has come and is now seated on his throne?
Timothy continues our current series on the life of David by looking at 1st Samuel 24 and focussing on how both David and Saul view authority. There is clearly a lot to learn from the lives of both David and Saul on what our posture toward God's authority should look like.
Daniel continues in the series The Life of David. Daniel begins the sermon by asking when life seems to be pushing in on you, "where do you run?" David feels threatened by Saul, he feels like his world is pushing in on him, so David runs. David shows us that when life is hard, all of us run. But when we run, we need to make sure, in the words of the Avett Brothers " we run to something and not away from..." We must run to God; beholding His beauty, knowing Him in our suffering, and living in community.
Daniel continues the series "The Life of David". In the midst of some of the most dark and maddening times of David's life he is protected and perseveres because of his relationship with Jonathan. In a world that tells us that autonomy is a basic need, Daniel shows us that relatedness/friendship and covenant are actually what we need.
Pastor Timothy continues in our sermon series on the Life of David discussing a cure for our jealousy. We all have been infected with this disease of jealousy that convinces us that our worth and value is measured comparatively. That in order to be valuable we have to be better than other people. And the only way to cure this disease is to come to a deeper understanding of our “anointing.” Of God’s declaration that we are his and that we matter. Then and only then will we stop looking for our self worth in the approval of others and be set free to celebrate and enjoy the good fortune of others (to dance).
Daniel continues series in the Life of David by looking at a familiar story, David and Goliath. Fear is a very real emotion all of us have. Daniel preaches on how Goliath and Saul show us how not to face our fears, and how David reveals how to face our fears. David is not just an example, he is a Savior for Israel, and the pointer to a greater Savior, the Lord Jesus, who has secured victory over all the assaulting forces we may face.
Pastor Daniel begins the series Life of David by giving an introduction to David which informs how we approach the Bible. Reading the Bible can seem intimidating; Daniel addresses common mistakes in reading the Bible and how understanding Bible as story with Jesus as the hero shapes us and changes our hearts
Matthew 15: 8-9 "After Your Heart" [01.01.2017] - Pastor Steve Murrell by Christ Central Durham
Pastor Timothy talks about how we are to unwrap and enjoy the true gift of Christmas not just on Christmas Day but each and every day we are blessed to enjoy on this earth.
Pastor Daniel finishes the series "Parables: Stories Jesus told." Life can beat us down, discourage us, make us want to play it safe. A wrong view of God can even lead us to playing it safe in this life. Jesus is a loving and gracious King who secures His kingdom and calls His followers not to play it safe, but to invest and risk and dream for sake of His kingdom. The generosity of our King leads us to be stewards who dream kingdom dreams, engaging in His business.
Pastor Timothy continues in our current series, Parables: The Stories Jesus Told. This week he looked at the parable of the treasure and the pearl. Here Jesus unpacks for us what it means for the kingdom to be both hidden and priceless.
Pastor Daniel continues the series in "Parables" by preaching on 2 stories; parable of the mustard seed and parable of leaven. There is often confusion about the kingdom of God, and what it means to hope that God's kingdom would come to earth as it in heaven. Daniel preaches on the kingdom: it's unseen power, plodding growth, and complete renewal of the world.
Daniel continues the series in the Parables. Jesus uses stories to teach about the way of the kingdom. In this passage Jesus is teaching that the way of the kingdom is one of: rest and enjoyment, life, humility, and generosity. The purpose of life in the kingdom is enjoying communion with God and enjoying the gospel of Jesus, which is the party.
Daniel continues the series in the Parables. Prayer can be confusing and we can easily lose heart and stop praying. Jesus tells this parable to call us to the heart of prayer, which is persistence. Persistence comes from seeing ourselves as the nameless widow and God as the anti judge, and in praying we get not just something, but someone...God.
Pastor Daniel continues the series in the Parables. Preaching on the rich man and Lazarus, Daniel says that all of us are obsessed with winning and losing in comparison to others. We all have a "line of 270" that we use to measure ourselves to see if we are winning. Repentance in the Christian life is leaving this internal operating system and being wooed to trust Christ that winning comes in losing. Being Lazarus and loving Lazarus is the new way of winning.
Pastor Daniel continues our series in the Parables. Inserting ourselves into the story of a farmer sowing seed among differing soils, we are intended to ask "do we hear the voice of Jesus and the beauty of the gospel story?" The seed of the gospel is spread, though there will be obstacles, but if it is planted deep there will be fruit that brings life to the world.
Pastor Timothy continues in the sermon series on the parables of Jesus by unpacking the parable of the unforgiving servant. He explains why according to Jesus we are to give and what is the high cost of un-forgiveness.
Pastor Timothy concludes our renew series by looking at the core value of outward serving. He unpacks what John says in first John four about The heart change that is necessary in order for us to become a church that serves well.
Pastor Daniel continues our series "Renew." The church is called to be a part of a Gospel movement. By placing our trust in Jesus, the king, he catalyzes us forward - to believe the gospel of the kingdom, to labor for the gospel of the kingdom, and to put our confidence in the gospel of the kingdom.
Pastor Daniel continues the "Renew" series by preaching on the core value of being cross-cultural. There will be temptation, suffering, and oppression and Revelation 7 gives us a vision of a heavenly reality by which we must trust is more true than our struggles. A vision of a unified family, a victorious army, and a worshipping community must captivate our imagination and give us hope as we seek to have a cross-cultural community.
Pastor Daniel continues the series "Renew", preaching on the second of five core values of our church, Worship Driven. Jesus must replace what we worship, Jesus de-localizes worship, and Jesus compels us to call othes into worship.
This week Pastor Timothy began the discussion of our 5 core values by looking at the value, "Grace Centered." He showed from Matthew 20 how counter cultural and yet absolutely essential this value is for the church.
In this first of 6 sermons on the Vision and Mission of Christ Central Church, Pastor Daniel preaches a 30,000 ft view of why we exist as a church. The stories and purposes that drive our lives are often far too small, Pastor Daniel preaches on the great and grand story of Scripture, that calls us to Worship and to Mission, to "Seek the glory of God and the good of Durham".
Description: Pastor Timothy concludes our summer series in the Psalms with a look at Psalm 46. Here the psalmist informs God's people what they must do when it seems as though their world is falling apart.
Pastor Daniel continues the series Rest for the Soul. Daniel says we are more than brains on a stick and that our loves are shaped by the rhythms of our lives. David in Psalm 103 gives us a rhythm or discipline of talking to your soul as a way to shape our love for God.

Pastor Daniel continues in the Summer Series in the Psalms. Preaching Psalm 16 Daniel speaks about how there is often a disillusionment with life, a futility in our thinking. But as we see the goodness of the Lord and trust in Him our perspective is re-oriented. God changes our perspective on possession, delight, and hope.
Pastor Daniel continues the series in Psalms “Rest for the Soul”. Preaching on Psalm 8, he exhorts that rest can be found if we pray with our eyes open and see the Creator, His creation, and dignified humanity. The Psalm reveals how our God acts within His creation; He uses weakness to defeat what is strong, and He instills dignity and gives the role of ruling His creation to all of humanity.
Pastor Timothy continues in our summer series in the Psalms by Preaching through Psalm 4. Here David reminds us why we must call on God in our times of trouble.
Pastor Daniel begins the series “Rest for the Soul: Summer in the Psalms”. Daniel preaching on Psalm 63; a psalm of David in the wilderness, asks how we can become a person of worship. Daniel says we must understand what is center of our worship, ask for an appetite for worship, and actively cultivate worship.
Pastor Timothy concludes the series on the 7 letters in Revelation with the final letter to the church in Laodicea. Jesus confronts the lukewarmness of this church head on but offers a quite surprising solution to the problem.

Pastor Daniel preaches on the life of David. David is running for his life as he flees from King’s Saul attempt to murder him. David’s running shows us that we need when life presses in on us we need to run “to something and not just away from”. Daniel challenges us in 2016 to resolve to run to the sanctuary, the cave, and community.
Pastor Daniel takes a break from the series in Ephesians. He preaches on the process, the cost, and the how of forgiveness. Do you need to say “I forgive you” or “will you forgive me”? The answer is an emphatic yes. We are all those who have sinned against others and been sinned against. Forgiveness is the key to healing.
