God is not hiding from you

Are we clinging onto things, people or patterns of life that we know we should be free from? Have we made ourselves comfortable in a culture that is alien to the life that God has called us to live? It isn’t that God is hidden and can only be found now. It is that He can only be found when our hearts are inclined to look for Him, and that inclination itself is a gift from God!

Why Christmas Matters: Inviting Friends to church this Christmas

With the Christmas season just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to invite friends and family to your church’s events. But how do you make those invitations meaningful?

Baptisms - October 2024 | Where Are You Building?

Baptisms October 2024. There’s lots of wisdom that is about in our general language and culture, but how much of it can we actually shape our lives around? What’s your life built on? And is it sustainable? Is it strong enough? Today, people are choosing to build their lives on Jesus. It’s a decision that shapes every part of their lives. And it’s the same message Jesus gave when he talked about building on rock versus sand.

Lifecentral Church 45th Anniversary - The Generation Game

Life is not measured in minutes it’s measured in moments. This October is our 45th Anniversary as a church from our beginnings in 1979. Over the years we've taken steps of faith and experienced times of great sacrifice, crisis and celebration. But it’s not only the moments that make our story worth telling... it’s the people!
— Speaker: Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

Above & Beyond | What story do you want to tell?

You reap what you sow... You reap more than you sow... You reap after you sow. This law is not just agricultural, it’s about the story you want your life to tell.
— Speaker: Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

Church Is - Week 4 | When The Church Hurts You

Church hurt is not a new phenomenon —we see it all through church history. We see it all around the world in all types of churches, styles and traditions. The impact of church hurt cannot be underestimated... however the Church that Jesus started is a place where we carry one another’s burdens, where we stand alongside one another in good times and bad, where we literally 'one another' one another. Community can be where we experience the deepest hurt, but also where find the deepest healing.
— Speaker: Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

45 in 45 - An Anniversary Special

This October, we celebrate 45 years since the founding of Lifecentral Church! In this episode of The Lifecentral Podcast, Debs sits down with Leon and Allison to look back on the mission, history and the incredible things that God has done over the last 45 years.

Church Is - Week 3 | When The Church Gets Stuck

When biblical replaces Christ-like we have missed it! The Church is a movement - we need to make sure that it doesn't get stuck and becomes just a monument. For the movement to keep on moving we need more contributors than commentators, and the best investment of our time outside of our families is the local church that’s outward facing.

Church Is - Week 2 | When the Church gets it Right

Sometimes church can get a little weird! When the church goes off-track and off-mission, things go wrong; but when the church is on-track and on-mission that’s a totally different story. Can you devote one thing towards Jesus this season?
Speaker: Lead Pastor - Leon Evans

Church is - Week 1 | When the Church Goes Wrong

Everyone has an opinion about what Church is... Irrelevant? Incomprehensible? Institutional? We believe the Church is unstoppable —an outward facing, multicultural, multi generational, multiplying movement. When we lose sense of this, we lose who we are and who we were meant to be! How can we adopt the tone, posture and approach of Jesus?
