Welcome!

THE CHRIST-CENTERED LIFE

WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF THE CHRIST-CENTERED LIFE.

I have been on websites that used a grey font over a white background, and that made the text difficult to read. I really want to avoid making this site difficult to use or to navigate, so your thoughts, ideas, and comments are always welcome.The “Christ-Centered Life” website is presented in a high contrast and easy-to-read color scheme but, should particular pages be difficult to read, please let me know through the ‘Contact’ page and I will amend the page or pages on the site. I want the site to be as visually accessible as it possibly can be, and your thoughts and suggestions are always welcome.

The Christ-Centered Life website is continually growing and so it is a god idea to check back often and see what has changed since your last visit. Let me now highlight a few things from the website. 

Under the ‘BOOKS’ tab, you can read the descriptions of the three books that I have written in “The Christ-Centered Life” series. A fourth is currently in process of being written. There are also descriptors of the two books written by me under “The Hill Of The Lord” series. There are book reviews under this tab, and new reviews are added from time to time. You can also download books that are either out of copyright or are available free elsewhere.

You can read what Christ-centeredness is all about under the “ABOUT” tab at the top of the page. There is also a page “LOOKING BACK” under the “ABOUT” tab in which I briefly speak about my own journey to Christ-centeredness. The “ABOUT” tab also contains a lot of information and photographs from an astonishing holiday that I had in Malonne, Belgium, in 1985. Through this same tab, you can also access information about the ‘Go DIG’ discipleship course.

There is a lot of content of varying style on this website and more content is being added on a regular basis, especially on the pages under the “RESOURCES” tab, where you can access sermon and teaching notes as well as read a lot of papers on different subjects that you may find of relevance and interest. You can also download books that are either out of copyright or are available free elsewhere.

The ‘MEDIA’ tab accesses a lighter look at church, some photos of me (and hopefully others!) teaching, a number of thought provoking or funny PowerPoint presentations and, under the “SPOKEN WORD” page, you can listen to various recordings of teaching and preaching. Also under the ‘MEDIA’ tab are a number of video recordings of sermons and teaching, most of which featured in the City Gates church service recordings.

On this website, you can also read about people who are involved in or connected to the “Christ-Centered Life” ministry in one way or another. The “PEOPLE” section will be expanding as others are welcomed to the “Christ-Centered Life” website under the “Christ-Centered Life” banner. The “LINKS” page contains a lot of links to people and to organizations that I am pleased to feature and to support.

Please explore “The Christ-Centered Life” website and you can contact me if you wish to respond by making comments or asking questions. You can also email me directly at david.broderick@thechrist-centeredlife.com if you wish to use your own email client. Once again, you are welcome here, and thank you for visiting the Christ-Centered Life website today.

Blessings,

David

THE CHRIST-CENTERED LIFE

bookDEEP CALLS TO DEEP

My first published book, ‘The Christ-Centered Life: Deep Calls To Deep” tells of how I began the journey to becoming Christ-centered, and through to how I then came to live life every day in the reality of the Christ-centered worldview. It is a worldview that recognizes, understands and embraces the Jewish foundation of the Christian faith, and seeks to translate that foundation into a life of faith for Gentiles like myself.

The Christ-Centered Life proclaims that Jesus the Christ is indeed the Lord who reigns supreme, despite what may appear to be to the contrary as we look around the world. YaWHeH reigns and his will shall prevail at the end of this world. In the meantime, an intimate relationship with the Creator YaHWeH through Jesus the Christ is for everyone – regardless of age, education, color, creed, or any other label that may be used to differentiate between human beings. No-one is excluded from knowing YaHWeH intimately for themselves.

Yet our society has strongly tainted the word “intimacy” with sexuality and, in so doing, has caused church to show only an external and a detached religion to the world, while leaving intimacy to the world’s distorted view of sexuality. But it was never meant to be that way. Our relationship with our creator is to be a relationship of intimacy.

We need everything that YaHWeH has given to us in Christ, and we need to know how to use what he has given us. Most of all, we need to know for ourselves how to know the Son who is himself YaHWeH in real intimacy. That is why deep calls to deep.

“The Christ-Centered Life: Deep Calls To Deep” presents a radically different way to live than many Christians will have experienced. This book will certainly challenge your long-held ways of thinking, this book will certainly shake your established patterns of believing, and this book will certainly question your cherished methods of doing. Above all, this book will teach you never to assume, or continue to assume, anything, but rather to explore everything for yourself.

Deep surely calls to deep in these days. Hear the call to a deeper and more intimate relationship with YaWHeH in Christ for you personally. If you yearn for that deeper experience of the knowing of the Christ, this book will will help you to grow (and go on growing) into that deeper relationship with him as you grow (and go on growing) to see and know YaWHeH from a Christ-centered perspective.

On this website you can also read about my own journey from pastor to published author and you can know something of my own life journey as I came to self-publish “The Christ-Centered Life: Deep Calls To Deep” in 2013 in order to bring the first book of my Christ-centered material to a world-wide audience who could then access that teaching without the need to travel to meetings.
