God is Good

By Central

Now more than ever it is vitally important that we know God is good, in His nature and in all He does. We must know and understand the fact not just because it is what we say, but because we really understand the truth of the Word and experience His goodness in the land of the living!

Church as Family

By Central

As believers we must always remember and grow in our understanding that God is our Father and we are His children; created for relationship with Him and with one another as brothers and sisters – We are family!

The Power of the Covenant Meal

By Central

In this message we explore the power of the meal which we share to mark Jesus’ death and resurrection, the New Covenant in His body and blood. We consider the ‘Power of REMEMBRANCE’, the ‘Power to REALISE’ His love for us, the ‘Power to RENEW’ our love for Him, and lastly the ‘Power to RECLAIM’ that which we’ve lost, or let go of, from the promises of His Covenant. If God did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us, how much more will He not give us all things (Rom 8:32). We shouldn’t therefore settle for anything less than God’s best for our lives!

Covenant Or Convenient Love? (part 3)

By Central

Using 1 Corinthians 13 to help us understand what covenant love is, we apply the attributes of covenant love to the love shown to David, by both Saul and Jonathan. How is covenant love to be expressed by us today? How can we be a true covenant community that brings glory to Jesus, our shared first love?

Covenant Or Convenient Love? (Part 2)

By Central

As a Kingdom community, we are to relate to one another in covenant love. What is this love like and how do we fulfil the command to love one another with a covenant love and not just a convenient love? In the light of 1 Corinthians 13, we begin to consider the differences between Saul’s and Jonathan’s love for David.

I Love The New Covenant

By Central

The book of Hebrews tells the wonderful story of a great heart transplant. Our holy and righteous Father made obsolete the Old Covenant which cleansed the body but not the heart, and sent his Son to establish a new and better Covenant so that we, like Jesus, could be made holy and righteous and enjoy perfect fellowship with our Father by receiving a new and perfect heart. With this new heart we can enjoy God’s rest, strengthening and presence and should put it into action!

Clothes To Wear, Places To Go, People To See

By Central

Reading Zechariah 3, we discover that God is ready to forgive us and dress us in clean clothes, and that the accusations of Satan have no power over a child of God. We find that God gives us freedom and prepares places where we can walk. We also learn that the people of God should invite their neighbours to sit peaceably with them and share the goodness of God.

Open The Windows

By Central

What does it look like when a church opens its windows wide to let the fresh air of heaven flow in and the life of the Spirit flow out? Key moments in the lives of Noah, Rahab and Daniel show us what can happen when we live with open lives, open hearts and open windows.

Refreshed In The Lord

By Central

Our God-given mandate is to reach out to the Harvest; to be a REFUGE for the Needy, to REFRESH the Weary, to RESTORE the Broken and to REDIRECT the Lost. In this message we look at what it means to be REFRESHED in the Lord ourselves, by being rooted in Jesus, … in the dry place, the hostile place, and most of all in times of prosperity. We daily face the decision of whether to be sustained from the Fountain of Living Water, or to dig our own leaky wells!

Covenant Or Convenient Love? (Part 1)

By Central

The New Covenant brings us into relationship with God and with all who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. This relationship is held together by covenant love. As we read the book of 1 John together, we see how we are to experience and express God’s love in real and practical ways.

As For You… Continue… Convinced

By Central

When Paul left Timothy in Ephesus he left him with a very challenging assignment in a very demanding situation! False teachers were infiltrating the church and leading some astray, but Paul urged Timothy to stand out from the crowd, and hold fast to his convictions! “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of” (2Ti 3:14). These are similar days, in which we must be courageous, and continue living in the good of all we are convinced of!

Climb, Stand, Wait, Walk Tall

By Central

The Bible is a very honest book. Habakkuk openly questions God’s care in the light of severe hardship and persecution. We all face challenges that may even cause us to question God. This is fine as long as we then follow Habakkuk’s example by positioning ourselves to hear what God has to say!

What Happens Next

By Central

God wants His Church to experience consistent growth, progress and momentum. He makes the first move, but what matters most is always ‘What Happens Next?’ How do we respond? What do we do? Will we be satisfied with special moments… or will we press-on to sensational momentum?
