Were you able to join us on May 8th when I shared what God has laid on my heart for the future of Central? Check out this recap video and pray about how YOU can be part of what God is doing among us to reach Vegas and serve the world.
I read a great thought yesterday from someone writing about the devastation in Oklahoma City. “People ask, ‘Where is God?’” he wrote. “God is in the recovery and rebuilding. Join him there.” This is a great reminder that while we may not understand why terrible things happen, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving and giving. And one of the most powerful things you can do right now is pray–join me in praying for Oklahoma City, the…
I was honored and blessed to be able to preach at Saddleback Church in California this past weekend. The pastor at Saddleback, Rick Warren, recently lost his son and is taking some time off from preaching to heal and grieve. It was a privilege to serve him and his church. He has been a kind friend and mentor to me through the years. But there’s no place like home! Isn’t technology cool–through video I was able to be at Saddleback and Central this…
This weekend we’re talking about prayer. I’m excited to share what I’m learning about how our relationship with God can grow when we’re regularly connecting with him. When prayer becomes a part of life, it’s not about talking to God as a last resort or a final shred of hope, but trusting the source of our strongest hope. Join us for more on how to pray, why to pray, and even some true stories about people whose expectations were blown…
It’s really easy to lose your cool. You say things you wish you could get back. You overreact to things that you know shouldn’t affect you so much. You do things you deeply regret. And sometimes you wonder if God still wants to have anything to do with you. As a dad of two young kids, I’ve had my fair share of nights by my son or daughter’s bed apologizing for having a short fuse. But listen to what Psalm…
I hope you were able to join us for Mother’s Day weekend at Central. (If not, click here to check it out!) We talked about remembering that we are God’s masterpiece, even if we feel like we’re a mess. I kicked off the message with this amazing video. This week, remember that you are wonderfully made, wonderfully loved, and wonderfully valuable!
This weekend we will, of course, be talking about our moms. I hope you take some time to make your mom feel special this weekend, and I hope all of you moms will join us for a message just for you. We’ll be talking about seeing ourselves as God sees us—God esteem, not self-esteem. Because you may feel like a mess, but you are God’s masterpiece. Join us this weekend to find out more–click here for all our service times…
Pope John Paul II once said, “The future starts today, not tomorrow.” In other words, the choices we make now affect what comes next, and we can start working now on the future we want. That’s what tonight is all about! Join us at 6:30 to hear our vision for the future of Central. We’ve been praying, we’ve been preparing, and today the future starts. Don’t miss it!
You do not want to miss “What’s Next?” this Wednesday night. ALL of our campuses will be there, we’ll be worshiping with Drew and the band, and I’ll be sharing our vision for the future of Central. Our team has been in prayer for this night for months and I seriously can’t wait to tell you what God is putting on our hearts. Worship starts at 6:30, see you there!
TV shows like “Antiques Roadshow” or “Pawn Stars” often surprise you with the value of things. You watch all these people bring their stuff in and wait to see how much it’s worth. It makes you look at the junk in your house differently! No matter what price people expect for the item they brought in, the value is always set by one thing: how much someone else is willing pay for it. You may feel worthless, unimportant, used up…
