Episode Title: Costly Worship & Christly Service
In this Sunday service at Christ Central Church, we explore the profound biblical connection between extravagant worship and selfless service. Join us as we look at the powerful examples found in the Gospels, specifically focusing on:
Mary’s Act of Worship: We examine the story of Mary anointing Jesus’s feet, a moment that appeared to be a "waste" to onlookers like Judas, but was a beautiful, sacrificial expression of devotion to Christ.
Jesus’s Call to Service: Following His acceptance of Mary's worship, we see Jesus model the ultimate act of humility by washing His disciples' feet.
Key Takeaways:
Worship is never a waste: Whenever we treasure Jesus above everything else, the world may view it as excessive, but in His eyes, it is a beautiful and worthy offering.
A Call to Radical Love: Just as Jesus served those around Him - even those who were difficult—we are called to engage in the "nitty-gritty" work of loving and serving one another in our community.
Proximity in Ministry: We are challenged to move beyond the fringes and live out a faith that requires personal, inconvenient, and sacrificial love for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Whether you are treading heavily in your walk with Jesus or looking to deepen your devotion, this message serves as a reminder that God’s grace is always sufficient to refresh, renew, and restore us.

Treasuring Christ
Treasuring Christ
In this sermon from Christ Central Church, Max explores the nature of true worship and our posture before God by examining the encounter between Jesus and the sinful woman in Luke 7:36-50.
Key Highlights:
The Heart of Worship: Max discusses how true worship goes beyond corporate singing; it is a life-transforming response to the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Jesus' Compassion: The sermon highlights how Jesus is uniquely drawn to the broken and needy, challenging us to drop our "religiously perfect" masks and come to Him in total honesty.
Defining Our Posture: An exploration of what it means to orient our lives—career, relationships, and daily habits—around the worship of God.
The Source of Devotion: Max emphasises that those who understand they have been forgiven much are the ones who truly love much. The invitation is not just to host Jesus in our lives, but to treasure Him above all else.
Scripture Focus: Luke 7:36-50
This message serves as a powerful call to surrender, encouraging listeners to move from spiritual apathy to a life defined by deep devotion and gratitude for the forgiveness found in Christ.

The Wonderful Works Of God - Mike Lillycrop
Join us as we explore 'The Wonderful Works of God' with guest speaker Mike Lillycrop. In this sermon, Mike draws from the story of Jesus healing the man born blind in John 9:1-7 to discuss our role as co-workers with God in the world today.
Key takeaways from the message include:
God’s Good Intentions: Understanding that the works of God are a blessing for our future rather than a curse from our past.
Unconventional Faith: Embracing the reality that God often moves in ways that challenge our expectations or human traditions.
Eternal Perspective: Recognising the interconnectedness of God’s works throughout history and how our daily actions form part of a larger divine narrative.
Radical Impact: How we are called to be instruments of prophetic revelation to the world, bearing witness to His goodness and power.
This message serves as a powerful encouragement to step forward with hunger and courage, trusting that there is always 'more' to give away as we advance the kingdom of God together.
