This church does not exist to pay the bills, hold worship services, or make church members happy. The purpose of this church is to reach the lost. We are aggressively, unashamedly, trying to motivate people to make Jesus their Savior and life-leader. Reaching the lost is the reason Central Christian Church exists.
We will look at Jesus’ parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son in Luke 15.

We look at Jesus helping an immoral woman. Pastor Jamie helps us understand there is no sin so awful it can’t be completely cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. He also wants those who have been Christians for a long time to be a friend to sinners like Jesus. When sinners came into the presence of Jesus, they felt so much love they were motivated to change. The church needs to be a place sinners feel welcome and inspired to p...

We look at the reasons, the response, and then the resolution of John’s doubt.
