Center Point Assembly

This week Pastor Mike continues in the second chapter of 1 Peter discussing what it means to be a "Living Stone" hewed from the "Living Rock" of Jesus Christ. By the mercy and ultimate sacrifice Jesus paid on the Cross for us, we are a Holy Priesthood qualified by the Blood of Jesus to enter the Most Holy of Holies any time we want to spend time with our Heavenly Father. Do we really appreciate this? Are we protecting our relationship with Jesus from all the trappings and distractions of this world? Listen in and be challenged by what it means to be a "living Stone" the same way that Jesus is the "Living Rock" so that we can be precious of God our Father as Jesus is...

Pastor Mike continues the series on 1 Peter and today as we begin chapter 2. The topic is how we grow up in our spiritual life? We begin by getting rid of many things that are just not compatible with the Love of Christ in our lives. Peter is pretty direct with some specific concerns in the life of all Christians. It's also interesting that scripture refers to us as children quite often if we are to acceptable in the eyes of God. Peter uses the example of a new born babe craving milk in the same way as a new born Christian craving the pure spiritual milk of God's Word. The key word is "pure" verses "defiled" or "spoiled" spiritual milk. We need to have a consistent source of "pure and undefiled" Godly nutrition in our lives as we grow from the milk to the meat of God's Word... Listen in and be challenged by the Word of God - are you craving the pure spiritual nutrition of God's Word?

The series on 1 Peter continues with Pastor Mike speaking one of his hardest messages on what it means to Love the way God loves, from the heart. Many messages on love have been given, but unless we understand the true message of love requires sacrificial love we're only fooling ourselves on what true Godly love is all about. God's love required Him sending His Son Jesus Christ to be the sacrifice for our sins. That's an all encompassing love and that's the love that we are to have for each other. That's why this is a hard message for this pastor to give because this kind of love requires action and many times a sacrifice. Listen and be challenged to love the way the God loves us and proves it...

This weeks message is from Ernie and Carrie Bywater. They are pastors that are beginning a new missionary venture called Network 211. They speak briefly about that which is an awesome new offering to the lost world around us. I encourage you to visit their website www.network211.com However, the meat of the message that this pastor feels very passionate about and timely is the message on "reconciliation" that they brought. The area of offense and being offended is a major strategy of the enemy and it is prevalent in all places, including in homes, marriage relationships, and even in the church. Please take the time to listen and then apply what you have heard.

Pastor Mike is continuing the series on the 1st letter of Peter written to the scattering of Christians around Asia Minor. This is an exciting and challenging letter. This week we are talking about the judgment of heavenly rewards, which is the second judgment for the Christian. Many people have a hard time with the concept of rewards in heaven and the fact the Christian is going to be judged according to their works on earth as a basis for their eternal rewards, but that's what scriptures say. The other aspect of judgment and probably more important one is having a reverent fear of the Lord. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Listen in and understand how important it is to have a reverent fear of the Lord in all aspects of living a pleasing lifestyle unto our Heavenly Father...
