Center Point Assembly

Pastor Mike continues in 1 Peter talking about the great love God has for His children and how He proves it to us through judgment. Peter emphasizes this in our text today, how judgment begins in the house of God. Is this a way that God shows His love? Think about it this way, God loves us so much He wants everyone to be perfected and completely delivered from the bondage of sin. Suffering and judgment are the ways that God perfects His children. Sounds hard and difficult possibly but when we can grasp that God's intention is to make us the BEST we can be, then we can begin to accept and embrace the justice of his judgments now while we have opportunity to be changed. Listen in and be encouraged and challenged to love God more for all that He's doing to make us the best we can be for His glory...

Continuing in our study of 1 Peter, Pastor Mike discusses some very serious and yet common questions about suffering as Peter addresses his readers. Everyone suffers, though it may appear that some may more than others. Yet the questions are the same, why is suffering required? Without being able to answer specific questions, scripture is clear that suffering for Christ serves a bigger purpose that what may be evident at the time we're enduring it. From our temporary and "in the moment" perspective, we don't get it and we don't like it... But as we can learn to see God's bigger purposes for our life, we might have a better opportunity to see the purpose of at least some of the suffer He allows. Remember, God isn't surprised by the things that we're going thru, and for that we can be very thankful that He's totally aware of everything about our situation. This may not take away the pain in the moment, but hopefully it will help us understand what it means to share in the suffering as Christ suffered so that we can also share in His glory when it's revealed for all of eternity. Listen in to be encouraged that eternity is worth wait, so don't give up...

Pastor Mike takes us back into the study on 1 Peter today focusing on our "true identity" in Jesus. Like Peter, we are made into the living stones cut out of the Rock of Jesus. Jesus declares that He will build His Church such that the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. Do you know that Jesus uses people as the building blocks? People, like Peter, who have a revelation knowledge of who they are in Christ, "living stones" cut out of the same Rock of Jesus. That's great and exciting news for us! Do you know your true identity? Are you living in it? Listen in to find out more and then rejoice, because Peter declares we are living in the end days and your redemption draweth nigh...

Palm Sunday is the day that Jesus was declared to be the King of Israel. Many turned out that day to celebrate the coming of a new king and a new kingdom. It was a loud and rambunctious event in the city of Jerusalem. However, we see that for many of that day there was a disconnect in the agendas of man and God . God's agenda is clearly stated in scripture that He would have all mankind come to receive Jesus as the Savior and Lord of their lives. That's why Jesus was coming into the city that day. The agenda of many if not most of the people however, was for Jesus to set up an earthly kingdom with it's immediate benefits. How does this impact and apply to our lives today? Are we seeing and receiving "God's agenda for mankind" or are we living by our own agenda for God? Listen in to see how we aren't much different today then the people of that day... We have a choice to make...

Guest speaker Pastor Ryp talks today about having the "Faith that moves mountains in our life". There are times when we need to have the assurance that God is for us and not against us. Having the "NOW Faith" that God is not only able but he wants to do the miraculous in our lives. This is the kind of faith that exceeds our experiences. It will take us to places we haven't been before. We need to pray until our faith becomes sight... Are you ready to receive something new from God, then it's time to develop and have NOW faith active in our lives.
