  1. In Christ: Walk In Newness

    MAY 10

    In Christ: Walk In Newness

    What does it really mean to be in Christ? In this powerful teaching series from Central City Assembly, Pastor Kai walks verse-by-verse through the book of Ephesians to help believers understand their true identity in Jesus, the transforming power of the gospel, and how to live with purpose every day. The phrase “in Christ” changes everything. It speaks to who we are, what we’ve been given, and how we’re called to live. In Ephesians, the Apostle Paul reveals the spiritual blessings we have in Christ, the grace that saves us, the unity of the Church, and the practical call to walk in holiness, love, and spiritual strength. Whether you’re new to faith, exploring Christianity, or a long-time believer wanting deeper spiritual growth, In Christ will anchor your heart in the gospel and equip you to walk confidently in who Jesus says you are. Reflection Questions: Where is the old outfit still hanging in your life because it feels familiar, even though it no longer fits who you are in Christ?What voice has been shaping your thoughts, desires, and identity more than Jesus lately?What part of the new self do you need to intentionally put on this week: compassion, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness, love, or something else?Are you trying to patch up the old self with willpower, or are you fully surrendering to the new life Jesus is offering you?

  6. Resurrection Life

    APR 5

    Resurrection Life

    What if resurrection isn’t just something we wait for after we die—but something we can experience right now? On this Resurrection Sunday, we explore what it truly means to live a resurrection life. Many people—including Christians—settle for being “alive-ish”: saved, but stuck… breathing, but not fully living. But Jesus didn’t rise from the dead so we could simply exist until heaven—He rose to make us fully alive today. Looking at Romans 6 and the life Jesus is living right now, this message unpacks a powerful truth: resurrection requires death—not just physical death, but a daily dying to our old ways, sin, and self. And from that death comes a new kind of life. Reflection Questions: Where in your life have you settled for being “alive-ish” instead of fully living the resurrection life Jesus offers?What is one specific area of your old life that needs to be put to death so you can walk in new life with Christ?Which of the five marks of resurrection life—present, purposeful, proven, praying, or preparing—is most missing in your life right now?What step of obedience is God calling you to take today so you can move from simply being saved to fully living resurrected?
