Central Christian Church, NV : Weekend Messages : Audio

Message for 11.04.12 :: Central is excited to welcome back Mike Foster, who is the co-founder of People of the Second Chance! 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Message for 08.19.12 :: Central is thrilled to welcome Lysa TerKeurst.
