Central Presbyterian Church - Sermons

The book of 1 Thessalonians — and likewise many books of the New Testament — are actually letters, written by the apostle Paul to the early Church believers whom he loved with an inspirational love. In addition to instruction and guidance, we see in his words an outpouring of passionate care and concern worth embodying. Listen to this sermon as we consider the intense, exemplary love of Paul — and more importantly, the Good News out of which it was born. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

The history of God’s people is one of abundant blessing but not without exile, persecution, and hardship. At every point throughout the biblical narrative, God’s people have found themselves in need of comfort. And in those moments, the almighty, all powerful creator of the universe has gently embraced his children and held them in his loving arms with a comfort that believers even today can, in turn, extend to a world in need. Listen to this sermon as guest preacher N.T. Wright leads us in considering the depth and breadth of God’s comfort. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

“Mission” in the Christian context is commonly perceived as a unique and extreme calling for a select group of people. But in fact, all Christians are called to participate in God’s mission, and thankfully the Bible — and the life of Jesus — provides us with all the guidance we need to do it. Listen to this sermon as we consider the who, what, why, and how of God’s mission.  ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.
