Wednesday Night Central - Mission: Global
Speaker: Tim Houghton Preached: Apr 13, 2011 Duration: 39:39 mins
A Daunting Task?
The Bible is quite clear that God’s mission involves proclaiming the gospel to all the nations, peoples, races of the world (Is 49:6; 66:11-24 as we saw 3 weeks ago). Jesus confirmed this as his disciples’ key task, before he ascended to heaven (Luke 24:45-48, overlaps with Acts 1:8).
But how on earth can a small local church such as Christ Church Derby possibly be engaged in doing this? Surely the task is way too big even for an enthusiastic bunch of Christians such as us? Unsurprisingly, God has that worked out!! We’re not meant to do it on our own!!

Wednesday Night Central - Mission: Personal
Speaker: Matt Newboult Preached: Apr 06, 2011 Duration: 28:08 mins
Continuing our series on mission, we’re looking at our personal responsibility to share the gospel. Mission is about using words and sharing the good news of Jesus but also about how we live and how we approach the whole of life.

Wednesday Night Central - Mission: Local
Speaker: Matt Newboult Preached: Mar 30, 2011 Duration: 25:31 mins
This week we’re continuing to look at mission, the mission of our church. How does God want us to approach mission? We look at some principles and then have a brainstorm thinking about, not just special events, but ways we can build relationships.

Wednesday Night Central - Mission: What the Bible says
Speaker: Tim Houghton Preached: Mar 23, 2011 Duration: 53:16 mins
This week, we started a new series looking at mission. In the series we’ll be looking at mission in the Bible, the mission for Christ Church, our personal mission and how we can get plugged into God’s global mission. Tim starts us off this week looking at what the Bible says about mission focusing on Isaiah 66.

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: Prayer
Speaker: Matt Newboult Preached: Mar 16, 2011 Duration: 30:45 mins
This week we’re looking at the subject of prayer and especially what it means to pray in the light of the gospel. Gospel-driven prayer if you like. Our vision says that we want to be gospel-driven. Which means that the gospel isn’t just the bit at the start of your Christian life (the ABC), to get you into the kingdom. It’s everything. The gospel is bigger than the sinners prayer. It’s what keeps us in the kingdom (the A to Z). It’s by the grace of God that we enter the kingdom, through what Jesus did on the cross and by his grace that we remain in the kingdom, through what Jesus did on the cross.

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: Bible
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Mar 02, 2011 Duration: 27:47 mins

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: Community
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Feb 23, 2011 Duration: 30:13 mins
From the first pages of the Bible we learn that ‘It is not good for a man to be alone.’ Marriage is a primary answer to this alone-ness, but as the story continues it becomes obvious that God wants to build a whole community of people who call upon him as Father. From Old Testament Israel to the church of the New Testament, God doesn’t just save isolated individuals here, there and everywhere across the globe. He forms people into communities.

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: Resurrection
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Feb 16, 2011 Duration: 22:59 mins
It is often noted that in Acts the focus of the apostles’ preaching is the resurrection rather than the cross. Leaving aside the theological debates that ensue, the question remains: do we underemphasise Christ’s resurrection? Surely it provides us with more than an apologetic argument for the truth of the gospel?

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: Cross
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Feb 09, 2011 Duration: 26:31 mins
“The biblical gospel of atonement is of God satisfying himself by substituting himself for us… The concept of substitution may be said, then, to lie at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be. Man claims prerogatives which belong to God alone; God accepts penalties which belong to man alone.” John Stott, Cross of Christ

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: Sin
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Feb 02, 2011 Duration: 30:55 mins
Sin is vastly more serious than we realise. The aim of this ’Gospel Air’ series is not simply to understand basic doctrines, but to see where their absence from our daily consideration quenches our faithfulness and holiness. Nowhere is the gap between God’s attitude and our attitude greater than in consideration of sin.

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: Jesus
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Jan 26, 2011 Duration: 25:21 mins
Who is Jesus?
Hopefully we’re pretty clear that Jesus is both man and God. This is the universal consensus across Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox believers and, together with the Trinity, is one of the few doctrines that unites the three streams.

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: God
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Jan 19, 2011 Duration: 33:40 mins
What would it look like if we woke each day remembering God? Previous generations of Christians talked about living life ‘Coram Deo’, a Latin phrase meaning ’In the presence of God’. They believed every second of their life was to be lived as if standing in God’s throne room. Given that we can’t see God, we need to be clear what kind of God we stand before in order to know how to live appropriately.

Wednesday Night Central - Breathe: Gospel
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Jan 15, 2011 Duration: mins
It’s easy to think of the gospel as the message that gets us saved; and of course it is. It’s also easy to think of the gospel as the message to give to non-Christians; again, it is. But Paul has another use for the gospel: correcting the Galatians’ behaviour. He saw that it was possible for genuinely converted Christians to walk either in step or out of step not simply with the commandments of Jesus, but with the gospel.

Wednesday Night Central - Renewing the Church
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Dec 15, 2010 Duration: 48:19 mins

Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Dec 11, 2010 Duration: 49:22 mins

Wednesday Night Central - Head, heart, hands
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Nov 24, 2010 Duration: 41:11 mins
Continuing to look at the vision for Christ Church. This week we’re looking at how the Gospel changes our head (what we think), our hearts (how we feel) and our hands (what we do)
Wednesday Night Central - Gospel Driven
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Nov 17, 2010 Duration: 35:40 mins
To be gospel driven means seeing the gospel message as much more than just the bit that gets you into the kingdom of God. The gospel message is the driving force behind the whole Christian life.

Wednesday Night Central - Culturally Engaged
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Nov 10, 2010 Duration: 24:14 mins
On Wednesday nights we’re working through the vision for Christ Church. This week we we’re looking at what it means to be culturally engaged. How do we share the timeless truths of the gospel with our culture without either watering down the gospel or living in a Christian ghetto and not engaging the culture at all.

Wednesday Night Central - Worship at Christ Church
Speaker: Matt Newboult Preached: Nov 03, 2010 Duration: 31:03 mins
We’re taking a break from working the way through our vision to look at worship and music at Christ Church.
Wednesday Night Central - Reformed
Speaker: Jonty Rhodes Preached: Oct 31, 2010 Duration: 38:17 mins
Our second Wednesday Night Central at the Working Men’s Club, saw us look at what it means for Christ Church to be reformed.
