    A look at why we practice baptism at Central Christian Church.

    Kids will ask some interesting questions. Why is the sky blue? Why are there clouds? Why can’t I go outside? Why do I have to be nice? Sometimes kids will continue to ask why and we just want to jerk our hair out because it drives us crazy! But adults also ask “why” questions. Such as, why ...read more

     | 2,785 views

    As ministers together in the gospel of Christ, if we fall into arguing amongst ourselves, we have lost focus and we are fighting the wrong enemy. We are all on the same team. Sometimes small things need to be let go in favor of confronting larger issues.

    As we have followed the new disciples of Jesus, we have seen a number of important lessons taught and demonstrated. These early lessons are from the book of John: • Jesus changes your perspective • Jesus gains your faith as a friend • Jesus spends time with family • Jesus introduces us to ...read more

    1. If there is going to be unity in the church we have to give up having to always be right. 2. Our unity is meant to be a reflection of the unity of God. 3. The purpose of unity is that the world may believe.

    In August of 1999 in Landover, Maryland, the papers reported that 100 years of Christian fellowship, unity, and community outreach ended in an act of congregational discord. Holy Creek Baptist Church was split into multiple factions. The source of the dissension was a piano bench which sits ...read more

    An invitation to consider anew the precious opportunity we have to enter the presence of God.

    We are an avenue of Gods grace to other Christians, even the ones who disappoint or hurt us.

    This story quite honestly is a troubling one to me. Can I say that? Is it okay for me to say that? The reason it troubles me is because up until this point in the book of Acts, when the church had a disagreement (and they had some very significant ones), they worked through them and came to a ...read more
