Center Point Assembly

Pastor Mike is coming closer to finishing the series on The Baptism in the Holy Spirit. This week we discuss the 9 gifts of the spirit and give a general overview of what they are and how they are used. This is not an in depth study as the gifts are all very involved and worthy of much more time. What we do know about them is that God would have everyone desire them and humbly ask for the best that God has for us. With that said, it is the prayer of this pastor that all would however seek the giver of the gifts more then the gifts. If we all were intent on that, then God would be able to freely pour out Hid good and excellent gifts on us all as we glorify Jesus through their use. Commit this week to seek the giver...

Pastor Mike speaks on the purpose of speaking in tongues as a vital emphasis in the life of the Holy Spirit filled believer. Tongues are not only the initial evidence that a person has been Baptized in the Holy Spirit, but a powerful public and private prayer language. This message discusses the difference between the public and private use of tongues and encourages all to seek God, the giver of the gifts, for the edification or the building up of both the church and the person. Our encouragement is for all believers to seek all that God or Father has for us to be victorious in this end times of which we are living...

Pastor Mike continues the series on The Holy Spirit this week and leads us into the area of seeking all the Holy Spirit has for the believer. Once we're saved, are we consciously or sub-consciously telling God that we can live life on our own or are we seeking all that He has for us? This may seem like an obvious question that of course we want more, yet it appears that many are in a superficial relationship with God and are telling Him they're comfortable where they're at in this relationship and really don't want to go any further into the Spiritual realm. Does this describe your life or a time what maybe you felt that way? Then listen in and see if God has more in store for all of His children and then ask yourself the tough questions that only you can of you life... Am I all in for Christ? Am I giving Him the best of me and continually ask for more of Him?

This week Pastor Mike uses a couple videos produced by the Assemblies of God that describe the experiential and biblical perspective of a believer being Filled or Baptized in the Holy Spirit. The reason for this type of message is to help those that are new to or are struggling with this belief of a Baptism in the Holy Spirit as a sequential experince with the Holy Spirit following conversion, to understand that this is not a single person's viewpoint. Rather, this is a widely accepted teaching and application of what is taught in God's Holy Scripture. The prayer of this pastor is that all believers would seek the power of the Giver in all of His gifts so that we can be victorious in the life that we all are given to live...

Pastor Mike continues the teaching the Holy Spirit and the gifts that He gives to His people as they ask... The purpose of this teaching is to educate and encourage all of us in the "purpose of the Holy Spirit". We believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit is for every believer and as we allow Jesus to Baptize us in the Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit will come upon us and we will have the power and the ability to witness for Christ and He will be glorified in our lives... It's all about Jesus and His glorious work in our life...

Being the first week of the School year, Pastor Mike discusses a very important topic of "ministry in the body". The message this week encourages everyone to get involved in their local church by realizing that work is "ministry" if done unto the Lord. There is much to be done in the body, and as people see the work as ministry, there is much reward. The older generation needs to reach out to the younger generations and be willing to invest into them, thus raising them up. Ministry in the Body of Christ becomes a joy not a burden...
