Dr. Nathan Davy, Organist and Associate Director of Music at Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas, TX, joined us for a special organ recital, performing seven pieces by a variety of composers.

Every one of us carries regrets, failures, and moments we wish we could undo. Paul reminds us there are two ways to respond: the path of guilt or the path of grace. True, godly grief doesn’t lead us into shame or self-pity but into repentance and renewal, where even our tears become instruments of God’s mercy as he reshapes our hearts by his love. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how godly grief opens the door to genuine repentance and lasting change. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul calls believers to embrace their true identity as ambassadors for Christ — representing his kingdom in a world longing for reconciliation. We are not the authors of the message but the messengers, sent to proclaim that God has made peace through Jesus, turning enemies into friends and making all things new. As new creations, we’re called to embody this hope and participate in God’s mission to set the world right.

Suffering often feels senseless, but Paul reminds us that God is using even our pain to prepare us for something far greater: an eternal weight of glory beyond comparison. Though our outer selves waste away, our inner selves are being renewed day by day as we fix our eyes on unseen realities. The trials we face are not meaningless; they are the very means by which God shapes us for his eternal purposes. Watch this sermon as pastoral resident Robert Cone shows how our suffering becomes the doorway through which God prepares us for glory.

Rev. Dr. Jay Harvey, a church planting pastor at City on a Hill, delves into the profound relationship between suffering and eternal glory. He explores how trials shape our character, emphasizing that pain isn't without purpose. Harvey contrasts Christianity with other faiths, affirming that while suffering is acknowledged, redemption awaits. He warns against the distractions of material comfort, urging a focus on unseen realities that nurture faith. Through personal anecdotes, he underscores the importance of loving Christ over His gifts, reminding us that our present struggles lead to future hope.

Our culture may be obsessed with power, but Paul reminds us that God’s power works in a completely different way — through weakness, humility, and grace. We are merely jars of clay: fragile and ordinary, yet entrusted with the priceless treasure of the gospel. God’s strength shines most brightly when our own efforts fail, revealing that the power to change lives belongs to him alone. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how God’s power in weakness transforms our frailty into a vessel for his glory. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.
