Sermon Series: "The Healer at Work" Luke often refers to Jesus as Savior. As a Greek, to Luke the main "other" meaning of the word "Save" is "Heal." Luke, the physician, presents Jesus as a Savior/Healer. Being a disciple means we follow Jesus. We listen to him, and we emulate him. Let's watch Jesus in action for a few weeks, and learn more about what it means to be a healer in this broken world.   (link / series-index)

In these teachings of Jesus it is clear that life can be lived badly, with grave consequences for ourselves and for others. This Lenten series addresses the basic life issues that characterize us as servants of God. All these teachings describe life in God's kingdom. All describe life lived well. All bring promise of God's blessing, but all bring us warnings, as well. A study guide for small groups or individual devotions is available online.   (link / series-index)

Sermon Series: "Trusting God in Transition" Central Presbyterian Church is changing. With the opening of our new worship center we enter a new era of life together. While core values remain the same our functioning on a Sunday Morning will shift remarkably. This is bound to raise our anxieties as well as our excitement. It is therefore a good idea to focus on the importance of trusting God together as we "set out on this journey". This series from Luke 7 and 8 will help us look to God in faith as we enter unfamiliar territory.   (link / series-index)

Sermon Series: "Who Is My Neighbor?" The Session has decided to focus on a critical aspect of our whole outreach as a church: being a witness where we live, work and play. This is deep in our church vision; however, we may not feel very equipped for this kind of lifestyle. This sermon series is intended to motivate us to embrace this calling of being a good neighbor, and provide some incentive of how to get more help.   (link / series-index)
