Video :: From Stressed to Blessed

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 04.28.13 :: A lot of us look at our resources and feel like there isn't enough to go around. We'd like to live a generous life and make a difference in the world, but we just don't have the time, energy or money. We can barely handle the stress as it is! But the bible is full of promises to turn our 'little' into a lot. We don't need massive resources to make a massive difference, we just need a little bit of faith. God isn't about division, He's about multiplication. Turn His power loose in your life, and go from stressed to blessed.

Video :: Blessed to be a Blessing

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 04.21.13 :: Have you ever wondered why God doesn't give you all you ask for? Why He seems to bless some people more than others? The bible teaches God provides not only for our own needs, but He blesses us to be a blessing to others. As we are generous, God trusts us with more and pours His favor into our lives. As we let His generosity flow through our fingers, He trusts us with more and more. He moves us from a 'not enough' life to a life where we have more than enough to share.

Video :: From Broke(n) to Blessed

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 04.14.13 :: We all know what it's like to try and out-earn our wants. The typical path to happiness demands we spend money (we don't have) to get joy (that doesn't last) and usually leaves us broke or broken. God's path leads people to the blessed life. He asks us to trust Him, not only for our needs, but also for our contentment. He offers a simple way to move from broke to blessed. With a little bit of faith, you can unleash God's power in your financial world and discover the happiness that money cannot buy.

Video :: How To Be Blessed

Sun, 7 Apr 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 04.07.13 :: Imagine the power of God working in your life, helping you with problems, giving clarity on direction and opening up opportunities. This is the picture of the blessed life, one where God pours His favor and wisdom on you and those you love. It's a wide- open life that brings strength, security and significance to those that choose to step out in faith and put God first in their life. Join us as we open up the Bible and learn how to be blessed.

Video :: Easter at Central: Unstoppable

Sun, 31 Mar 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 03.31.13 :: Everywhere we look the world seems stuck: the economy, the government, the real estate market, jobs and more. We are stuck! The good news of Easter is that God is never stuck. Nothing can stop Him - His power is uncontainable. His grace never runs out. Our God reaches out to all of us who are stuck and offers hope, new life and a love that won't quit. Come to Easter at Central as we celebrate the God who is Unstoppable.

Video :: Communion Weekend

Sun, 24 Mar 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 03.24.13 :: 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. We will get to experience this together as we focus our hearts and minds on our unstoppable God.

Video :: Pursued to Become

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 03.17.13 :: The world has a way of making us feel insignificant. Sometimes it seems like no one is listening and no one cares. We are endlessly busy, but nobody seems to notice or appreciate the difference we make. The only people who seem to matter are rich, famous or lucky. The story of Hosea reminds us, that even though there are billions of people in the world, God is personally obsessed with you. He not only wants to forgive your past, He wants to give you a brilliant future. God has a specific purpose for your specific life, and the more you lean into him, the more you become the unique, irreplaceable person you were meant to be.

Video :: Pursued with Love

Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 03.10.13 :: A lot of us expect our problems to disappear once we reach out to God. When trials continue or escalate, we get confused and frustrated. Sometimes we pray for things to happen or not happen, but God doesn't seem to answer. It leaves us wondering, does He really care about me? The story of Hosea reminds us that despite how we feel, God relentlessly pursues us with love. Even when it seems like our world is falling apart, God holds all the pieces in His hands, and in time, will put us back together stronger than when we started. All we need to do is trust Him and move forward knowing nothing can ever separate us from His love.

Video :: Pursued by Grace

Sun, 3 Mar 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 03.03.13 :: It's human nature to run from God. People see Him as a police officer chasing them down or a judge waiting to convict them of all their crimes. But God doesn't pursue us with judgment, He pursues us with grace. God offers a beautiful picture of grace in the story of Hosea and Gomer. This is the nature of God's extravagant grace. He loves us when we are least lovable. He pays a high price for us when we are least valuable. It's time to stop running and be caught by grace.

Video :: Pursued for Relationship

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 02.24.13 :: A lot of us get worn out trying to stay on God's good side. We know we should go to church more, pray more and read the Bible more, but when we try to live a 'better life,' we fail. The more we fail, the guiltier we feel and the harder we try next time. There's a word for this: it's called religion. But just like the shocking story of Hosea, where a prophet marries a prostitute, God doesn't pursue us for religion; He pursues us for relationship. Time to stop running for His approval and rest in His perfect love. Join us as Jud kicks off this new series based on his new life-changing book of the same name.

Video :: Love That Endures

Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 02.17.13 :: To have the kind of love that endures, you have to base it on more than looks or superficial things, it is anchored in community and friendships. In this message, Jud will show us how we are better together, as both singles, marrieds, and followers of Jesus. Don't miss this message as Jud wraps up this important relationship series.

Video :: Building Strong Families

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 02.10.13 :: We are thrilled to welcome Pastor Dave Stone. Dave is Senior Pastor of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. Dave believes the most practical way to spread the gospel is through moms and dads who model a genuine faith for their children. Join us as he shares about building strong families from his latest book, "Raising Your Kids To Love the Lord".

Video :: Facing Conflict

Sun, 3 Feb 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 02.03.13 :: Conflict is something we all face in relationships. Whether it's in a dating relationship, in our family, work or marriage, the real issue is how we face it. In this message we'll look at how to deal with conflict in a more healthy way to get the most out of our relationships. Join us as we dig into God's Word to see how He demonstrates to us how to face the conflicts that are going to happen.

Video :: Being Dateable

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 01.27.13 :: Single people describe the world of dating as confusing, difficult and nerve-wracking. At times it can be fun, other times it's downright depressing. The Bible offers solid, encouraging advice for people looking to find the love of their life as well as words of affirmation for those who are happy being single. Whether you are single, married or dating, join us for this study in the Old Testament book of Ruth and learn some time-tested principles for being dateable.

Video :: Life Resolutions: Interview with Todd Hoffman and Crew

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 01.20.13 :: Jud interviews Todd Hoffman and his crew from TV's Gold Rush. Todd has always been one for thinking big, and it's his hope to rekindle the American Dream and the frontier spirit on which this country was built. Hear how 316 Mining came about and how faith plays a role in their success.

Video :: Faith Resolutions

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 01.13.13 :: Jud is back and helps us to set realistic resolutions for our spiritual goals in 2013. Join us as we dig into what the Bible has to say about putting our faith first in our resolutions for the New Year. If our faith is in balance and the first priority in our lives, all others things will fall into place.

Video :: Financial Resolutions

Sun, 6 Jan 2013 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 01.06.13 :: Financial coach Joe Sangl is back at Central to kick off our Resolutions series. Join Joe as he shares with us how to set and achieve financial goals for the New Year. You will gain the tools and encouragement necessary to take control and honor God with your finances

Video :: The Year Without Fear

Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 12.30.12 :: Join Central favorite, Bill Butterworth, as he brings his wit and biblical knowledge back to Central this weekend. He will be answering questions like: Why am I so afraid of the future? How does God want me to view the New Year ahead? What is His perspective on living without fear? There's a key word we'll be unpacking--a familiar word, but it is key to seeing life as God sees it.

Video :: Christmas At Central 2012

Sun, 25 Dec 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 12.25.12 :: Christmas At Central 2012

Video :: Joy in God More Than Santa

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 12.16.12 :: Jud wraps up the Holly Jolly Christmas series this weekend and continues the study into the book of 1 Peter. God is not making a list and checking it twice. He has given us a clear way to live. He calls us to think clearly and practice self-control. This time of year we can easily fall into traps that take us away from that message. Join Jud as he shows us what clearly matters the most!

Video :: Joy for the Holiday Crazies

Sun, 9 Dec 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 12.09.12 :: Jud continues in the book of 1 Peter as we take a look at finding joy in the midst of all the busyness of the Christmas holiday. We will see how pausing in the chaos and trusting in God can bring us Joy and bring us back to the true meaning of Christmas. Come to fill yourself with this joy that overflows from you and be ready to share that joy with others that need to hear the Good News.

Video :: Joy When It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas

Sun, 2 Dec 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 12.02.12 :: Christmas is a time of great joy in the season, but it can also be a time of great sorrow. Many of us feel so stressed from work, life, school and family struggles that we don't even pause to celebrate. Jud will teach from the book of 1 Peter where we will see believers who knew all about stress and pressure. We will see how to find joy in the midst of our struggles and be able to share that joy with others!

Video :: Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

Sun, 25 Nov 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 11.25.12 :: Have you ever felt 'stuck' in your life? Would you be interested in life beyond your wildest dreams? This weekend we will look at a married couple in New Testament times that wanted more from life, thought they'd never get it, and then God showed up in a big way! Join us as we welcome back a Central favorite, Bill Butterworth. Bill has an extraordinary gift of blending story-telling and humor along with practical Biblical application to his messages.

Video :: Being a Second Chance

Sun, 18 Nov 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 11.18.12 :: Throughout the book of Galatians we've looked at one of the biggest receivers of a Second Chance...Paul. Through Paul, God's Word is clear that we are called to share each other's burdens and in doing so we are obeying God's command. Jud will wrap up the People of the Second Chance series this weekend by sharing with us how when we are given the opportunity, we all need to extend a Second Chance to others.

Video :: Giving a Second Chance

Sun, 11 Nov 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 11.11.12 :: It's not always easy to extend forgiveness to someone that has hurt us. We may say we'll forgive, but not forget, and continue to hold a grudge, thereby letting bitterness continue to control our emotions. But God has commanded us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Ouch! If we want others to forgive our misdoings, then we have to be able to forgive others for theirs - giving them a second chance. This weekend Jud will continue sharing with us how we can practice letting go and blessing someone with a Second Chance.

Video :: Resting in a Second Chance

Sun, 4 Nov 2012 12:00:00 -0700

POTSC is a global community of activists, imperfectionists and second chancers committed to unleashing radical grace everyday, in every moment, for everyone. Mike will be sharing with the Central family how we can rest in our Second Chance.

Video :: Receiving a Second Chance

Sun, 28 Oct 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 10.28.12 :: Jud continues in the book of Galatians as we dig deeper into the People of the Second Chance series. We learn that our own human efforts will not put us in right standing to receive a second chance. Grace is not just about coming to faith in Jesus, it is about living in faith every single day. Only by the grace of God do we receive a Second Chance.

Video :: The Good News of Second Chances

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 10.21.12 :: Jud kicks off an exciting new series called People of the Second Chance. The greatest second chance ever offered is the grace God extended to us. It's a second chance we all need. But, have you ever needed a second chance and were denied one? God doesn't expect us to work for his favor or forgiveness. The good news is that God has already paid the price for our sin, which gives us the opportunity for a second chance.

Video :: Unleash

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 10.14.12 :: God doesn't want you to be a spectator of what He has done. He wants you to be a participant in what He is doing. Guest speaker Perry Noble will show us how to embrace the promises that will define our future, and Unleash the life that is more than we could possibly imagine.

Video :: The Game is Already Won!

Sun, 7 Oct 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 10.07.12 :: The Bible says that we receive a new name in heaven. This week we will unpack some of the hope of heaven and how it can impact us each day today. Satan is ultimately defeated and we can look forward to eternal life with God. We can also work to help others and bring a little heaven to earth. Be sure to join us as Jud wraps up the Gamechangers series!

Video :: When You Don't Feel Good Enough

Sun, 30 Sep 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 09.30.12 :: We all love a good story where the underdog becomes the winner, because somewhere in the middle there was a turning point. A Gamechanger, and it made all the difference. One of the biggest come-from-behind victories recorded in the bible is the life of Paul. A life-changing encounter with the Spirit of Christ, turned this church destroyer into a church planter. That spirit is available to us today to give guidance, power and strength to our lives.

Video :: Update Your Roster

Sun, 23 Sep 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 09.23.12 :: The quickest way a team can turn their season around is to stack the roster with a superstar. When a superstar joins a team, it can lift not only the stats and the wins, it also lifts the team's spirit. Where once there was only despair, now they have hope. It's a Gamechanger. This week we look at the life of Peter, one of the first to ever declare that Jesus was his Savior. Just as a team gets new life from a superstar, Peter received a brand new life and a brand new hope when he finally saw Jesus for who he really is.

Video :: Play Through the Pain

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 09.16.12 :: Ask any professional athlete what they are most afraid of and most of the time you will hear the same answer: injuries. Getting hurt is a part of the game, but nobody wants to be on the disabled list. Some injuries can end a career, others reduce performance, but all of them leave their mark. Playing through the pain is part of life on the field as well as off. We all walk through life with deep injuries that keep us from living our best. This week you will learn how the biblical character Jacob played through the pain and how God's blessing was a Gamechanger in his life.

Video :: Brand-new Game Plan

Sun, 9 Sep 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 09.09.12 :: Some teams get stuck in a rut, trying the same old plays over and over again with average to poor results. What they need is a new game plan, something to breath new life and new success into their efforts. The same can be true of our lives. We get stuck in a routine. The daily grind takes so much out of us we stop dreaming of what could be and just settle for what is. God wants to give us a new game plan and it can be a Gamechanger in our lives.

Video :: It's Personal

Sun, 2 Sep 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 09.02.12 :: People say all the time, "It's nothing personal." This often comes right after a stinging criticism! But there are some things in life that are personal, or at least they should be. These personal things are often the most important things in life. In this message you will find steps on how to prioritize life's most important relationships. You will be able to apply these steps as you move through the Fall and into a new year!

Video :: Kurt Warner Weekend

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 08.26.12 :: Professional football Champion and 2 time MVP. Record-breaking Quarterback. TV host. While the football narrative of pro football quarterback Kurt Warner reads like a rags-to-riches Hollywood script, it is the story of a man who continually beat the odds with integrity and an undeniable faith that captured the imagination of the sports world and beyond. Hear his story - nobody should miss this!

Video :: The Prayer Circle

Sun, 12 Aug 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 08.12.12 :: It is exciting to welcome Mark Batterson to Central. Mark serves as the lead pastor of National Community Church (NCC) in Washington, DC. He is also the author of several best-selling books, including The Circle Maker. In this book, Mark says, "Drawing prayer circles around our dreams isn't just a mechanism whereby we accomplish great things for God. It's a mechanism whereby God accomplishes great things in us." Join us as Mark shares how prayer circles can impact our lives.

Video :: Generous

Sun, 5 Aug 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 08.05.12 :: Joe Sangl is the founder of I Was Broke. Now I'm Not., an organization that is passionate about "helping others accomplish far more than they ever thought possible." In his encouraging message, Joe Sangl reveals what happens when we choose to live a fully generous life. Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about how God calls all to be generous.

Check out Tommy's passion and humor as he shares with the Central family.

Video :: The Courageous Life

Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 07.15.12 :: In this message, Mike Foster shares with us how God has invited us to a life of freedom, not fear. He has a great plan for our lives. He only asks that we live with courage and live dangerously with him. But that means we have to surrender our people pleasing ways and learn to let go of our need to control. We do this by looking at how Ruth took a small risk and made history.

Video :: Running on Empty

Sun, 8 Jul 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 07.08.12 :: Central is excited to welcome Mike Meeks, Pastor of Eastlake Church in Chula Vista, California. EastLake Church is all about, all because of, and all for, Jesus. You will not want to miss this chance to hear Mike's honest message of God's amazing love for us. We all go through seasons where our faith may be weak, but hear how God's love can fill you up and keep you from running on empty!

Video :: The Satisfaction of Community

Sun, 1 Jul 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 07.01.12 :: In spite of Solomon's frustration, he still recognized the importance of friendship and community. This message looks at the benefits of community. We'll celebrate where we've been and look forward to the future with vision and anticipation.

Video :: Satisfaction in Helping Others

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 06.24.12 :: Sometimes it seems like the world has gone crazy. We see injustice everywhere. Apart from God, things are in a desperate state of affairs. But, through faith, we learn of a God who is just and calls us to defend the defenseless. In this message, we look at how we can move beyond cynicism and paralysis and step out, making our own large or small contribution on behalf of others.

Video :: Satisfaction For Every Season

Sun, 17 Jun 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 06.17.12 :: We often fight desperately against the limitations of time. We schedule it, manipulate it, and try to squeeze more out of it. We deny it, run from it, and seek to beat it. But time is a gift. Solomon reminds us there is a "time for everything." Apart from God this can seem very discouraging, but through faith we learn to embrace our limitations and the seasons as God brings them. We learn to stop fighting time and start getting the most from the season in which we find ourselves. In this message, we explore many of the seasons Solomon describes in chapter 3 and provide practical encouragement for thriving in them.

Video :: Dancing With a Bully

Sun, 10 Jun 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 06.10.12 :: Everyone has to deal with the bully called "sin." The problem is we can't beat that bully on our own! We need a Savior to come in and protect us from this unbeatable enemy. The cool thing is that God wants to do exactly that. In this message, we are joined by Guest Speaker Grant Fishbook. Together, we explore how Christ proved he wanted to be our Savior by beating the bullies of sin and death through the cross.

Video :: Satisfaction Guaranteed

Sun, 3 Jun 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 06.03.12 :: God made the greatest satisfaction guaranteed offer in history when he sent Jesus to satisfy the penalty for our sins. Thanks to his awesome sacrifice, we are guaranteed forgiveness, eternal life, and renewed purpose each day through faith in him. One of the most powerful ways we show this faith is through baptism, uniting us with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In this message, we consider baptism and the importance of taking this step of faith.

Video :: Finding Satisfaction in Work

Sun, 27 May 2012 12:00:00 -0700

Video Message for 05.27.12 :: God is a God who works. He created work and blessed it. And work itself is a gift. God never cursed work in Genesis; he cursed the ground that Adam would work. But all work and no perspective leads to burn out. Solomon threw himself into work as an end to itself and ended up burned out. In this message, we explore how we can invite God into our job - literally into over one-third of our lives. We look at how performing even the most unremarkable tasks for God's glory can fill them with purpose. We discover what it means to do every task "unto God."
