Central Church Sermons

Easter is the day we celebrate the hope we have in Jesus' resurrection. Through Jesus' resurrection we know that we also will partake in being resurrected.

What does it mean to be a “fleshly” or “carnal” Christian? This week we’ll look at what Paul teaches about this and how it impacts a church in 1 Corinthians 3:1-4.

Dan Werthman teaches from 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 to see what the difference between a “natural person” and a “spiritual person” is, and why this makes a difference in our relationships.

In the midst of chaos and on the way to the cross, Jesus prayed for his disciples: ‘That they may be one.’ And the book of Acts presents us with a perfect picture of Christian unity. In this message, John Andrew will examine the nature of unity within the body of believers.

As we continue in 1st Corinthians we see differences between the wisdom of God and what the world values.

A house divided cannot stand. Neither can a church. In this sermon, Pastor Dan looks at 1 Corinthians 1:10 to see how divisions start in the church, and how to overcome them.

You’ve probably heard the expression that “relationships are messy.” When we bring the messiness of relationships and the reality of our sin nature into the community of the church, it’s no wonder that church is often “messy.” But the Bible points us beyond the messiness of the church to see its beauty. We begin to see how today in 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.

What is baptism? Why do we believe that it is so important? Today, Dan Werthman teaches on the importance of baptism.

When you reflect on who Jesus is, how often do you think about Him as King? Luke Jackson leads us through what God’s Word says about His Kingship.

A pastor once told the story of a little boy who had a pack of Smarties candy. Upon the pastor expressing his love for Smarties, the boy made sure to always share the first piece of candy with the pastor whenever the boy received a new pack. In our lives, it's an amazing example of how we should be generous with God's blessings.

As Christians, our lives are watched. How we treat others is a huge part of our testimony. Dr. Ernie Frey shares about the privilege we have of forgiving those who have wronged us.

Resolutions are difficult to follow through with, especially when it comes to our spiritual health. As 2018 begins, Pastor Dan encourages us to stay strong to our commitment to read the Bible and lists some of his favorite Bible reading plans.

As 2018 begins, we must always remember our first love.

On Christmas Eve, we did the final sermon in our “Gospel In The Carols” series, looking at the Christmas Carols that draw deeply from the Bible to magnify the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This week we look at the Biblical roots and Gospel focus of “Silent Night."

In this sermon, we will hear about the most amazing announcement in all of history. Gabriel told Mary that her baby boy would be the Son of God and King of Israel. This Christmas season let us celebrate Jesus as God’s Son and our King!

Bethlehem was not an important town 2000 years ago. It was not a center of culture or commerce; but it was foretold to be the birthplace of one who would rule over Israel. This week, Dan Werthman looks at the Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem".

Did you know the comma in the carol "Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" matters? As part of our "The Gospel in the Carols" teaching series, Pastor Dan expounds on the message in this classic carol.

We all love Christmas carols, and the best Christmas carols are really Christian hymns that draw deeply from the Bible and magnify aspects of the Christmas story to share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This week we look at the Biblical roots and the Gospel focus of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.

Pastor Dave shares his last message at Central Church as he follows God's calling to Texas. This message reflects on Matthew 5 and the importance of loving others.

Pastor Dan closes our series on Nehemiah this morning looking at the subject of ‘spiritual relapses’ in chapter 13.
