The quality of your life is set by the quality of your relationships. Dating isn’t just how you find someone; it’s how you keep someone. People often think they have a relationship problem, but they have a communication problem. Dating isn’t just how you find someone; it’s how you keep someone.

Generosity gives you everything that money promises you. When you open your hand, God fills your life
How can you dial down the stress in your life? Be a steward who manages God’s blessing through the seasons. Build up your savings, bring down your stress.
You can either look at your hardships and say why me? Or you can look at your Good God and say why not me? Why not bless me? Why not help me? Why not change me? Why not recession-proof my life? Your life can change when you ask God, Why Not Me? Believe financial peace is possible.
I know life is scary. The job market is scary. Money makes so many of us feel like failures or that there is no hope or way out. Acknowledge it’s All God’s. Don’t stop Believing. The best way to get ahead is to put God first.
God never under-promises. He makes promises that He means to keep. And He makes big promises. And He always over-delivers. At least compared to what we have in our head that He can do or who we can become. He over-delivers on His promise to us.
This Christmas, as we reflect, remember Christmas means God is for us and with us no matter what’s against us. Jesus was born to save us from our sins. And that is the greatest gift ever given.
Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
Beneath the Christmas lists and all the holiday things is something we need even more, God’s goodness and peace. Mary’s song shows us the way to get more out of Christmas this year.
God’s ways are not our ways. If you hear His Word, obey His Word, and live it out, you can see Him work great miracles in your life.
Sometimes you have to get to the end of your rope before you take God’s hand. As long as God is in control, it’s never, ever too late.
When life gets hard, it can feel like God is absent. But Jesus sees you in your struggle. He not only shows up, sometimes he shows off. In this message we are encouraged to not give up on God while we seek our miracle.
When life gets hard, it can feel like God is absent. But Jesus sees you in your struggle. He not only shows up, sometimes he shows off. In this message we are encouraged to not give up on God while we seek our miracle.
Fear has a way of stopping us in our tracks and hindering the work God wants to do in our lives. But as you focus on God’s love, you can push back against fear with faith knowing that if God led you to it, He’ll see you through it.
Jesus loves you in the mess, so He can save you from the mess. Come home to the One who made you on purpose and for a purpose.
We have to realize that to get through the pain, we have to feel our feelings and work them out alongside God. When we take it to God, we will find that he isn’t trying to make us suffer; he is ready to be with us through the suffering.
Constant busyness and worry have a way of making us weary, but Jesus offers a better way. In this message we are encouraged to trade our burdens for His rest and to get back our margin.
When we follow our own dreams in life disappointment is inevitable, but following God’s dreams will always connect us to His purpose. Pastor Herbert Cooper warns that obstacles such as details, adversity, selfishness, and haters can get between us and our dreams, but there is too much on the line for us to give up.
You don’t have to give up your dreams, but you can give your dreams to Him, and let God move and work and take you from a place of I can’t… to we can. Jesus is your assurance!
People often romanticize the past, but through faith, God can make today feel like the good old days by bringing back your peace.
Following Jesus often means leaving other things behind. The Bible records three people who had the chance to move toward a better life, but instead got lost in excuses. In this message, we’re encouraged to release the things that hold us back from the greater freedom found in Jesus.
What can give you a greater life? Do you need to cut loose and enjoy yourself more? Or is it time to clean up those bad habits? According to Jesus, the answer is His grace. As you follow Him, you move from ‘stumbling in the dark’ to walking with ‘the light that leads to life.’ Jesus leads the way to a greater life.
The disciple Peter swore that he would follow Jesus even to the death. But when the time came, Peter denied knowing Him. Later, when the risen Jesus restores Peter, He does not ask for a one-time, heroic act… but asks Peter to meet the daily needs of people. The greatest love is often found in keeping the smallest promises.
“How can I get even more than what I have?” When Jesus is asked this question, He responds, “follow me.” Jesus can lead us into greater wealth, but not before He teaches us what true riches look like.
A tax collector named Matthew was stuck in a life he didn’t want until the day Jesus spoke the words, “follow me.” Jesus not only offered friendship, but also the chance to live for something more. Jesus still wants to lead His people, and His church, into a greater purpose.
Grace covers our shortcomings, but consequences can still follow us. That’s when we need God’s wisdom and strength to make things right. In the later years of David’s life some old mistakes come back to haunt him, and he must learn to once again hold fast to God.
David was a man after God’s own heart, but his heart still led him astray. The story of King David and Bathsheba teaches us how to handle failure and the importance of seeking God’s grace.
God is calling you out of that place of defeat and he wants to refresh you and refuel you and remind you who you really are and what you’re made of. He wants to strengthen your heart. He wants to refocus your steps. We can have a focused heart.
We are tested by our success as much as out failures, because the more God blesses us, the more we are tempted to forget the One who blesses. In this message we explore how David kept looking up to God, even as he was lifted up to be king.
The quality of your life is often determined by the quality of your relationships. The story of
David and Jonathan’s friendship not only shows us the power of a loyal heart, it reflects the
faithfulness of God.
We all want victory, but sometimes God uses a breakdown to prepare us for a breakthrough. In this message we explore how God used the hard times in David’s life to create a humble heart in His future King.
Some problems in life are so overwhelming, you feel defeated before you even start to fight back. But with God all things are possible. In this message we explore the story of David and Goliath and learn how to trade a fearful heart for a courageous heart.
God is in the life-changing business, and worship is the natural result of His working. Praise not only fills our hearts and minds with the goodness of God, it can also bring healing and hope to others.
David was called, ‘A man after God’s own heart.’ In this message (and series), we take a deeper look at David’s life to discover what it means to have a heart like God and how this can position you for His favor.
Have you ever felt like God isn't listening? Maybe you've asked for Him to hear you but it doesn't seem like He is? Join us to hear Ps Herbert Cooper's powerful message on the responses to offer when we feel like God has abandoned or forsaken us.
Distractions are everywhere, but some things are worth our attention. In this message, we pay attention to the significance of baptism and to our questions about this important step in our faith journey.
We tend to replicate what we celebrate. In this message, we celebrate God’s grace and Central Church’s 60th Anniversary. We look to the past to be inspired to move into the future with faith.
Whether you're counting God for your family, your job, or your friendships, you can know that nothing is impossible for God and you can count on him throughout each and every day.
When life gets hard, we wonder how long will this go on? We get lost in the what if’s. But the practice of praise can bring us back to the place where God is the biggest thing in our life once again. If nothing can stop your praise, nothing will stop your joy.
Prayer is not just about asking, it’s about trusting. In this message we look at The Lord’s Prayer as a model for how to pray and discover God’s provision, power and freedom in our lives.
At Easter we celebrate with billions around the globe the fact that something new has happened to the world. The best news that changes everything. The fact that no matter how messed up things seem or how uncertain the future feels, a new life and a new beginning is possible for all of us. No matter if you have been a believer for years or you are considering Jesus for the first time in your life, Jesus can bring new life, joy, and energy to your life today.
Uncertainty is a part of life, but you can push back on worry with action and worship. In this message, we're reminded that you can cast your cares on the God who cares for you.
It's Okay to Not be Okay. No matter who you are or where you come from, Central is a place for you to call home.
It's Okay to Not be Okay. No matter who you are or where you come from, Central is a place for you to call home.
It's Okay to Not be Okay. No matter who you are or where you come from, Central is a place for you to call home.
It's Okay to Not be Okay. No matter who you are or where you come from, Central is a place for you to call home.
It's Okay to Not be Okay. No matter who you are or where you come from, Central is a place for you to call home.

Message for 03.28.21 | Jesus has already won your greatest victory when He gave His life on the cross. As we remember Him and His sacrifice, we find strength and courage to face our obstacles. What Jesus has done for us in the past is more important than what we have done in the past.

Message for 03.14.21 | Gratitude is a super-power. When you remember all that God has done, you hope all the more in what He can do. A grateful heart expects great things from God. When you give thanks, God gives you the victory.
Message for 03.07.21 | The biggest battle we face is to keep God number 1 in our heart and life. That’s why worship is a weapon. As you lift God up, He shakes things up, and helps you to stand firm.
Message for 02.28.21 | The Bible is full of wisdom. It’s not only a source of truth— it’s also a source of courage, strength and power. No matter what you’re up against, God’s Word will help you overcome.
Message for 02.21.21 | Life can feel like a fight. Thankfully, God has not left you defenseless. You can stand strong using God’s ways of winning. The battle belongs to the Lord, and the fight begins with prayer. Prayer is not your last resort, but your first line of defense.
Message for 02.07.21 | The Bible often compares God to a rock: something that is firm and unchanging. We see this same quality in a story where two faithful friends help Moses hold up his staff during a long battle. God wants us to know that He is not only compassionate, gracious, patient and loving, He is also consistent. When we trust in His goodness (even when times are hard), we show Him our faithfulness as well.
Message for 01.31.21 | Love can be a fickle thing that comes and goes, but God loves you with a long-term, loyal love. We see this play out on the life of Joseph. Even when Jospeh is at his lowest, God’s loyal love is working all things together for a greater good. God never forgets His people. He will not abandon you in the hard times.
Message for 01.24.21 | Many people struggle with patience or a bad temper, but not God. Even though He is committed to justice, He is also slow to become angry. We see this play out in a scene between God and the prophet Jonah. Jonah actually gets angry at God’s lack of anger! Even when you lose patience, God is patient with you.
Message for 01.17.21 | God describes himself as full of grace. This means you’re sure to receive His undeserved favor. We see an example of grace in the story of Jacob. He returns home to face his brother Esau, who years earlier Jacob had cheated out of a birthright blessing. Instead of receiving punishment, Jacob is welcomed and honored. Grace gives you more than you deserve.
Message for 01.10.21 | When God described His character to Moses, the first word He used was compassionate. This means He is deeply moved by the needs of his children. We see the same emotion play out in a famous scene where King Solomon judges between two women who each claim to be the mother of the same child. The true parent is the one compelled to sacrifice for the good of her child. God has this same compassion for you.
Message for 12.27.20 | We’ve heard a lot of no’s this past year, but God has already given his ultimate yes in Jesus. This weekend Jud and Lori Wilhite talk about how to stand on God’s promises as we face a new year.
Message for 12.06.20 | “For God so loved the world He gave his one and only son...” (John 3:16). Christmas is all about love coming down in Jesus. This was truly God’s greatest gift which offers us salvation and new life. All that’s left to do is to receive this gift, celebrate it, and share it with others.
Message for 11.29.20 | There’s a lot of debate about who is the GOAT (the Greatest of All Time): Michael Jordan or Lebron James; Tom Brady or Peyton Manning? But the Bible says when it comes to life, love is the greatest. And the more we allow God’s love to flow through us, the greater we become.
Message for 11.22.20 | Love is more than a temporary feeling... it’s a choice to do good in another’s life over the long haul. We see this play out in the Old Testament friendship of Jonathan and David. Even though circumstances pulled them in different directions, and even made them adversaries, their loyal love for one another saw them through the darkest of times.
Message for 11.15.20 | Have you ever felt like life is an uphill climb and you can’t see the top? The great news for anyone who feels like giving up is that God will never give up on you. His love is ready to comfort us and bring us hope. God is love and love never gives up.
Message for 11.09.20 | The past is like a prison that holds many people captive, but according to 1 Corinthians 13:5, “love keeps no record of wrongs.” Thanks to God’s love, those prison doors are now unlocked, and we are free to go. All we need is the courage to walk into the future.
Message for 11.01.20 | Love begins at home, in our closest relationships, but often the very place we are meant to give and receive love is filled with stress and separation. God’s love doesn’t just change the world, it can also change a home and restore your relationships. Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 13:4-5.
Message for 10.25.20 | God’s love is the one thing that can change everything. His love can turn enemies into friends and can free our hearts from the weight of bitterness, anger and hate. In this message we explore the power of God’s love and how it really is “a way of life that is best of all” (1 Cor. 12:31).
Message for 10.18.20 | Sometimes when things don’t go our way, we think it must be due to a lack of faith. People believe that only big faith produces big results, and that doubts have no place in a Christ follower’s life. But the Bible records what happened when Thomas, the most famous doubter in the world, encountered the risen Jesus. He was met with compassion and affirmation, not disqualification. It’s not the size of your faith that matters, but the object of your faith. Jesus is big enough to handle your doubts.
Message for 10.11.20 | Uncertainty causes a lot of anxiety. We have a sinking feeling we won’t be able to handle the challenges that are coming. The truth is, God’s plans often require more of us than we think we can give. But the story of Moses reminds us that God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called. You can face whatever is ahead of you, because of the God who is beside you.
Message for 10.04.20 | People seem more divided than ever. We are tempted to think that those with differing opinions and priorities are ruining the world. The virus can even make us feel like other people are dangers to be avoided. But Jesus reminds us, that while we need to be wise in how we interact with others, that people are not our biggest problem, but rather our greatest purpose. In a famous story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus inspires us to love others, even though we might consider them our enemies.
Message for 09.26.20 | Join us for guest speaker, Pastor Montell Jordan | Worship is defined as ascribing worth or value toward God. It goes beyond songs. It is an outward expression of our inward condition. We worship God when we place everything we do before Him as an offering.
Message for 09.20.20 | This has been a season of financial challenges. People have lost jobs, lost hours, lost businesses and lost opportunities. We not only struggle with today, we fear the future. A lie can take root that says, ‘I won’t have enough.’ Not enough food. Not enough money. Not enough customers. Not enough retirement. In a famous scene, Jesus asks his disciple Phillip to feed a crowd of 5,000—an impossible request. Then Jesus multiplies one meal into enough for a multitude. God can provide in ways we cannot predict. You will have enough.
Message for 09.13.20 | Life has gotten more complicated. Whether it’s school, shopping, travel or working, we are all having to adjust to new ways of doing things, and it can feel overwhelming. When a friend named Martha reached a breaking point and complained about having to do it all, Jesus reminded her that she was free to choose her priorities. You can’t do everything. You just have to do one thing: connect to God. His love can help you set healthy boundaries so you feel more empowered and less overwhelmed.
Message for 09.06.20 | As the virus drags on, it’s easy to lose hope that life will return to normal. It can feel like many of the things we loved about the past will never come back. We begin to dread the future and believe the worst is on the way. But the prophet Jeremiah reminds us that God knows the plans He has for you... plans to give you a future worth having. God’s best is on the way!
Message for 08.30.20 | People are feeling more isolated than ever. We are also less trusting of experts and leaders. The end result is the sense that no one cares, no one is in charge and you are on your own. But the story of Gideon reminds us that even when it seems like no one has your back, God is still present, still in charge, and calls you to be the change you want to see.
Message for 08.23.20 | Have you wanted to give up lately? We’ve all had to deal with so many disappointments and difficulties we not only want to quit, but we feel like God has quit on us. But even when life gets hard, God is still moving and working. As the story of Elijah the prophet shows, even when you say, “I’m done,” God is not done with you.
Message for 08.16.20 | When you give God your heart, he gives you the victory! In this message we’ll learn to humble ourselves and seek his ways, so we can see the way he wins.
Message for 08.09.20 | God gives his people an unfair advantage. He is already working ahead of us and making a way. In this message we’ll look at how we can step out in faith and make the most of every opportunity.
Message 08.02.20 | Every promise comes with problems. In this message, we’ll learn how we can exaggerate our opportunities and minimize our obstacles through faith in God’s promises.
Message for 07.26.20 | Where God tests us is often where he is preparing to bless us. In this message we’ll see how to respond to trying times and expand our ability to step into God’s blessing.
Message for 07.19.20 | The wild is a place where resources are scarce. Life shifts from abundance to survival. In this message we will learn how less can be more as we grow our trust in God’s faithfulness.
Message for 07.12.20 | Life often feels like a wild ride, but God can meet us in times of difficulty and uncertainty to teach us lessons we can’t learn anywhere else. In this message we’ll learn how God often takes us the long way through the wilderness to prepare us for the next season of our journey.
Message for 07.05.20 | When you are in the middle of a mess, life can seem pointless and without direction. But if you follow Jesus day by day, and are faithful in the moment, He will lead you where you need to be. Jesus is the King of your Future.
Message for 06.28.20 | Joy is less about what happens, and more about your habits. That’s why the Bible encourages us to dwell on the good rather than on the bad. When you fix your thoughts on the good things Jesus has done and is doing, your thoughts begin to fix your attitude. And a better attitude gives you a better life.
Message for 06.21.20 | We often get our sense of worth from other people. When we are praised, our value goes up; when we are ignore or criticized, our value goes down. But Jesus is king of your identity. The true value of anything is what another will pay for it... and Jesus paid the highest price to secure your salvation. Your worth is safe in Him.
Message for 06.14.20 | When you face challenging times, it’s natural to ask why? Why me, why this, why now? But a far more powerful question is who? Who is with me, who helps me, who will see me through? The Bible declares that Jesus is King. He holds everything together, including your life.
Message for 06.07.20 | Pastor Miles McPherson from Rock Church in San Diego, joins us to talk about his book, The Third Option. Which is all about finding hope through God for a racially divided nation.
Message for 05.31.20 | Coaches like to say that the best defense is a good offense. The same is true for our emotions. One of the best ways to deal with feeling bad, is to do good. The Bible tells us to not grow tired of doing good, because when we focus on loving God and loving people, God makes sure those efforts do not go to waste. We are rescued to be rescuers, so when we keep doing good, we keep moving forward.
Message for 05.24.20 | There are two ways to imagine an unknown future: with fear or with faith. You either imagine the worst is on the way, or that God’s best is yet to come. If you want to move forward with God’s strength, you need to Believe God’s Best. You may not know the future, but you can know that God is working in the future, and that He is with you no matter what comes against you.
Message for 05.17.20 | Any time you move forward, forces can rise up to hold you back. This resistance shows up as obstacles on the outside and as doubts and confusion on the inside. But in Ephesians 6, we see that God has given us some spiritual practices to help us stay strong. In this message, we are encouraged to stand our ground by Standing on God’s Truth. The truth of who we are in Christ, the truth that God is still King, and the truth that His plans can never be conquered.
Message for 05.03.20 | Even when things start to run out, God has not run out you. He often moves in times of scarcity to do something new.
Message for 04.26.20 | Even when life is going in the wrong direction, God promises to be with us. His presence can turn the valley of trouble into the valley of blessing.
Message for 04.19.20 | As long as there is hope, there is life. In this message, we’ll learn how we can keep a grip on hope in even the most challenging times.
Message for 04.12.20 | Even though we are facing unprecedented challenges, Easter declares that God is for you, even when everything is against you.
