Join us as Tim Jones opens Isaiah 26:1-8, calling us to build our lives on Jesus, our strong city and rock. We look at the promise of perfect peace, the smooth path God sets before his people, and a simple prayer that shapes a lifetime: your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. We share how this vision shapes our growth as disciples and as a church, with open doors and open hearts for our city.

We continue looking at the vision for Central as we open Luke 12 to hear Jesus’ clear words on money, worry, and greed. Tim Browne teaches how stewardship, trust, and planned, proportional giving shape our hearts and our habits. We consider why giving to the local church fuels mission, discipleship, and care in our city and beyond. Join us as we seek God’s kingdom first and set our treasure where it lasts.

Tim kicks off our new sermon series ‘Made for More’, unpacking what it looks like to endure through God's strength. We look at the picture Paul paints of running a race as we live our lives, the encouragement being that God promises to carry us through all our hardships and into eternal glory.

In week two of our sermon series 'Made For More', Dan Jeffery speaks on repentance from Luke 18. We explore the Pharisee and the tax collector in our passage and a model of turning to God in humble prayer. Drawing on the tax collector's prayer and Psalm 51, we see how regular repentance keeps our feet clean as we walk with Jesus.

Continuing our Made For More series, Rob asks "What would be on your bench?" and how will we be remembered. Drawing on Philippians 2:25-30 and the life of Epaphroditus, we look at a legacy of service and sacrifice. What would it look like for us to truly know the price that Jesus paid for us on the cross and live in the legacy and freedom that he made possible?

Continuing our 'Made For More' series, Athan opens up Judges 6 and helps us see how God speaks to our true potential, not our present limitation.

We walk through Gideon’s story and hear the call to rise from hiding, step out of our personal “winepress”, and live as men and women full of God-given purpose. Athan shares how endurance, prayer, and spiritual gifts shape us, and how the Holy Spirit works in us so we can do far more than we could on our own. Jesus has already won the victory, so we can move from fear to faith and from settling to stepping out.

Tim continues our 'Made For More' sermon series by looking at the faith of the centurion in Matthew 8. We see how this unlikely Roman officer comes to Jesus with bold expectation, simply asking Him to "say the word" so that his servant will be healed. Together we see what his response teaches us about faith, authority, humility, disappointment, and how our expectations of God shape our walk with Jesus.

Made For More: Expectancy | Matthew 8:5-13 | Tim Jones | 23rd November 2025

Nobody likes to wait, but when there's something worth it at the end it has to be done! In this final talk in our 'Made For More series', Emma opens up Luke 1 and the story of Mary and the angel Gabriel, helping us to see Advent as a season of faithful, hope-filled waiting. We unpack the discomfort of waiting, the joy of promise, and the truth that we are made for more than today; we're made for eternity with God.

Made For More: Waiting | Luke 1:26-38 | Emma Woodhams | 30th November 2025
