Central Youth leader Carson Springer delivers the Christmas message.

Griffen Molenburg challenges us from James 5.

Youth student Charlie Goemaat shares from James 4.

For many of us, life is most enjoyable when it's easy. James assures us that when we do face trials, we can count it as a joy because it builds our character, and Jesus considered the cross before him as a joy as well. Griffen Molenburg opens up this series with a dialed-in look of the words of James 1 and how our faith in Jesus is supposed to be active, not because our works save us, but because our faithful action is a response to us being saved by grace.

Paul spent a lot of his life building up his Jewish reputation: circumcised, a teacher of the Law, and righteous in the eyes of those who knew him. But when he came to know Jesus, every gain that Paul had acquired became meaningless to him because the greatest gain was knowing Jesus and the power of His resurrection. For the things that we gain in this life, do we consider them to be loss because knowing Christ is the greatest treasure?

In this sermon, Griffen Molenburg leads us through Philippians 2, a word from Paul that points us to Jesus Christ, our chief example of humility, and how we are to embrace that humility as we become lights in this world for His glory.

Central Youth leader Carson Doak shares a message from 1 John 3

Alex Foley gives a message from 1 John 2

In 1 John 1, the apostle John assures us of this Word that was from the very beginning, this word that contained true life. With this light, we are to walk alongside and have fellowship with it. Central Youth director Griffen Molenburg looks at three main points we can gather from these 10 verses:

•God is light

•You can't fake fellowship

•Confession brings cleansing

In the conclusion of this serious, senior student Jack Kelderman reads the account of Jesus walking on the water towards the disciples and Peter getting out of the boat to walk towards Him. After Peter loses His focus on Jesus and He pulls him back up, He asks him the question, "why did you doubt?" How can we combat the doubts about who Jesus is in our lives?

In the gospel of John, the first recorded words of Jesus is a profound question: 'what do you seek?' Griffen Molenburg examines this question by Jesus and encourages three considerations that we are to have: consider the claim, consider the invite, consider the transformation.

Central Youth leader Carson Doak gives a message on a question that Jesus asks in Luke 6: "Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you?"

In the gospel books, we see Jesus ask several questions that left a life-changing impact on different people. In the first week of this new series, Griffen Molenburg visits the question that Jesus asks the paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda, "do you want to get well?"

Former Central Youth student Will Goemaat encourages us to go and make disciples, the parting statement Jesus gives to His disciples before He ascends back into heaven.

In Matthew 20, Jesus has an interesting conversation with the mother of James and John, and this text shows us three conditions: the condition of humanity, the condition of discipleship, and the condition of the gospel. Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. As followers of Him, we are to model the same heart of servanthood towards others.

Griffen Molenburg concludes the series on Galatians by teaching on the seeds that we sow in our lives.

Youth leader Carson Doak breaks down Galatians 5, seeking how we are to live fruitful lives empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Former youth student Gus Bunnell shares a message on Galatians 4, where Paul uses imagery of Mount Sinai and Jerusalem to convey that we are no longer slaves to this world, but that we have been set free in Christ.

In the book of Galatians, we see that we are set free by Jesus Christ and the grace that He extends to us. Charlie Goemaat, one of our youth students, breaks down Galatians 3 into 3 main points: that we are saved by grace, that the Law doesn't justify us, and that when we come to Christ, our labels are changed forever.
