What is a Christian?? Rob answers this question as he continues our series in 1 Thessalonians. More than just a person who goes to church or reads the Bible, we'll see that a Christian is someone who is rooted in the gospel and can stand strong when the storms of life approach.

Join us as we kick off our new two-week sermon mini-series in Titus called "Saved." Tim Jones opens up the book of Titus and takes us to the roots of our faith, exploring what it really means that God saves us—not because we earn it, but out of his mercy and love. We look at our need for rescue, the kindness God brings, and how this changes not just what we believe, but how we can live with hope and confidence.

Saved - Part 1 | Titus 3:37 | Tim Jones | 14th September 2025

In this second and final week of our two-part sermon series 'Saved' from the book of Titus, Tim Jones unpacks how God saves us through new birth and a fresh status before Him. We explore the evidence of salvation in our daily lives, marked by good works that flow from grace, and the hope of eternal life as heirs with Christ. Join us as we reflect on God's mercy that changes everything and equips us to live gratefully for Him.

Saved - Part 2 | Titus 3:3-8 | Tim Jones | 21st September 2025

Life is exhausting! Our day-to-days can be filled with so much stress, yet maybe you feel like the world's solution is to just "try harder" and "believe in yourself"? This Sunday, Tim unpacks the end of Matthew 11, sharing Jesus’ invitation to come and find true rest. We explore how Jesus welcomes the weary, guides us with a gentle heart, and carries our burdens—all with a bit of beatboxing thrown in for good measure!

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.

Made For More: Endurance | 2 Timothy 2:8-13 | Tim Jones | 19th October 2025

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.
