Welcome to worship at Central Church! We are so glad you are worshiping with us today; please leave us a quick comment to let us know you are here!
A joy to see you again and hear your dynamic message. I am always enriched by your gifts of self, wisdom, knowledge. And thinking about the Wayward sons and Wayward father, I’m sorry that the elder son could not see the value of his service, seeing it as a servant-hood, rather than taking joy in the wonder of life and his participation in it…. an additional example of his waywardness. Grace and Peace. Els Dakota
It is so good to see and hear Pastor Jane in the pulpit again, a powerful sermon that will stay with us for a long time. I enjoyed the choir anthem composed by one of our own, thank you, Diane. And always, the beauty of the bells, organ, spoken leadership. How fortunate we are.
There is a caveat to the message that God loves all of us. Because He loves us He sent his son, Jesus. John 3:16 For God loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in Jesus is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because theyave not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
