Pastor's Message

Up and coming events

Dear Friends

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. It is our sincere desire that our site be of some value to you. If it is at all possible, and you are in the area, we would love you to visit us and be part of what God is doing here at Central.

We are currently working through the Revelation. A book written to encourage believers facing persecution and hardship. In the opening message we saw that at times Christians will have their backs to the wall. But in spite of the pressure being great, there is hope. The Spirit urges us to take to heart the SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST...

He can be trusted
He reigns over all
He saves His people from their sin
He is worthy of praise
He is coming again

This sermon from Revelation 1 is available to you.There are many other expository sermons available without cost.

Please take some time to surf around our site and get to know us a little. We do trust that this ministry is one that glorifies God.

May God richly bless you,

Charles De Kiewit

(Senior Pastor)

Sin - Romans 3:23

Black stands for sin. The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of God's perfect standard. That is the "Bad News!" Everyone is guilty of sin and must pay for their sin!

Blood of Jesus - John 3:16

Red stands for the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7) which was shed for our salvation. In 1 Cor. 15:3,4 it says that "Christ died for our sins, that He was buried and that He was raised to life three days later." He died to take our place, and rose again to prove His power over death! It is through faith in Jesus and through acceptance of His gift of salvation that man is saved and through nothing else. (Eph. 2:8-9) Jesus offers the salvation we need!

Growth - 2 Peter 3:18

The green page stands for the Christian's need to GROW IN HIS NEW LIFE! Plants need three basic things to grow: Sunshine, rain and good soil. Well, for a Christian, his sunshine is prayer with the Son. His rain is the nourishment of God's Word, and his soil is the healthy fellowship with other believers in the faith. All three of these must be present in the life of a believer in order for him to live a truly victorious life.

Holy Spirit - Rom 8:9

Blue stands for the the Holy Spirit. When you accept Jesus into your life you are filled with the Holy Spirit. The role of the Holy Spirit is to act as a comforter, teacher (John 14:26), sanctifier.

Clean - John 1:13

White stands for the cleansing of salvation. Once we accept Christ, we become a new creation! (2 Cor. 5:17) God saves us instantly through our faith in Christ. He washes away all of our sin and makes us white as snow before Him! (Psalm 51:7; Isaiah 1:18) This is the promise of God, that He will forgive us all our sins!

Heaven - Rev. 21:18,21

Gold stands for heaven, another benefit of receiving Christ. Jesus has gone to prepare a wonderful place for those who choose to accept Him. (John 14:1-3)

Would you like to receive Jesus into your life?
Do you know that you are a sinner?
Do you believe Jesus came to save you?

If you answered "yes" to all of the above questions, here is a simple prayer you can pray: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and am lost without You. Please forgive me! I believe you sent Jesus to die for me, and that He rose again! I ask Jesus to come into my life and transform me into the person You want me to be. Help me to live for You! Thank You for forgiving me! In Jesus' Name, Amen."
