Centerbranch Church with Luke Brugger

The Nature of Excellence | Acts 16

In Acts 16, Paul took Timothy with him on his missionary journey. Why? Because Timothy had a good reputation with the local church. He had a nature of excellence in serving and served with enthusiasm. It is a blessing to serve the local church. In this message, Pastor Luke speaks about the importance of serving for your life and the impact it makes on people around you.

Freedom Sunday | Aaron & Victoria Plumley

In this message, Teen Challenge Program Director, Victoria Plumley, shares her powerful testimony of freedom from drugs through the power of the Holy Spirit. She shares how God set her free from addiction and restored her life. In this message of hope, she also shares the heart and vision behind Teen Challenge.

The Tabernacle of David (Acts Series)

In this message, Pastor Luke continues our summer series in Acts 15. In this chapter, the writer compares two tabernacles; Moses and David. The Tabernacle of Moses represents the Old Covenant. The Tabernacle of David represents the New Covenant. We are no longer under the Tabernacle of Moses, one of regulation and religion. Rather, we are under the Tabernacle of David which represents the blood of Jesus. Listen to this message to learn more about the difference between the Tabernacles and how it applies to us today.

Biblical Manliness (Father’s Day 2023)

Now more than ever, godly men & fathers are needed to lead. In this special Father's Day message, Pastor Luke gives biblical examples of how men have led and are to lead. Listen to this message to hear more!

Why the Enemy Uses Fear of Speaking (Acts Pt. 1)

Paul wrote, "For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile." The Gospel Has the power to save. Sharing the Gospel requires us to speak. It is no coincidence that the fear of public speaking is the most common fear people share. 
The enemy does not want you to share the good news. He wants you to remain quiet about what Jesus has done and can do for other people. However, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome that fear and proclaim the Good News & do greater work than Jesus.

CSOM Sunday

In this service, our Centerbranch School of Ministry graduates brought the Word of God! The graduates, Elijah Peterson and Rodney Huffman spoke on each person's role in the body of Christ and the importance thereof. Watch this encouraging message to hear how you play a role in what God is doing on earth. 

Anointed for a Purpose (Almost Heaven Pt. 7)

You are anointed for a purpose. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons (Matthew 10:8). God did not anoint you just so you can say you are anointed. He anointed you to go and do. To be like Jesus on earth. Listen to this last message of the Almost Heaven series to hear what Jesus did and what you are to do too!

You Are Not a Victim (Almost Heaven Pt. 6)

A victim mentality is a tendency to blame other people or circumstances for where you are in life. But God has created people to be like him. He has given dominion to those who are followers of Christ. With dominion comes the responsibility to take action. We must be intentional about putting on the new nature of Christ to make an impact in our community. You don't have to wait for qualification. The blessing of God makes it so you are more than enough now to make an impact. Watch this message to hear an encouraging word from Pastor Luke!

Pass the Test of the Mundane (Almost Heaven Pt. 5)

Drudgery is a test of life. When you continue day in and day out, doing the same things over and over, you can begin to question if what you do matters. If you're not following God's plan for your life, the enemy wouldn't bother trying to discourage you. God wants you to pass the test of the mundane. This message is a reminder that what you do, DOES matter. 

Succeeding in the Calling of God (Almost Heaven Pt. 4)

What is excellent today is mediocre tomorrow. In order to succeed in the call of God on our lives we must be cautious of three things: fear of failure, fear of disappointment, and success. In this message, Pastor Luke Brugger takes us through the story of Gideon in the Book of Judges. Gideon and the mighty men that fought with him were chosen specifically because they overcame fear of failure, disappointment, and the allusion of success. Watch this message to hear how you can accomplish great things like Gideon and his men!
