Center Point Assembly

Pastor Mike is finishing the series on Paul's declaration in Philippians, "I want to know Christ". This week we are speaking on the mindset of being "Heavenly Minded". If we are going to be like Christ, we need to think like Christ, and Christ is seated in Heavenly places so that's where our mind needs to be focused. We are reminded that we are to place our treasures or the things that mean the most to us in Heaven and not on earth. When we're able to do that amazing things can begin to happen here on earth because that means we are putting God first and He promises to take care of all of our needs thereafter... This takes trust and perseverance but assuredly it'll be worth it in the end. One thing we know, if our treasure is in heaven, then every day we live through here on earth is one day closer to our treasure, that gives some immediate gratification while we are longing for what God has in store in Heaven. Listen in for more of God's truths...

Pastor Mike continues in the short series on "Knowing Christ" as Paul taught us to. This week we are taught what it means to be "forgetful" in the areas that hinder our spiritual growth in the future. There are both good and bad things we are to forget to help us know Christ better as we move forward in our lives. You might wonder why we are to forget the good things God has blessed us with, but we are IF they become an area that pulls us back into the past rather then pushes us forward into the future of what God wants for us... Then clearly there are the bad things that we need to forget about and more importantly FORGIVE ourselves for. We spend most of the day discussing this as the enemy works very hard keeping people in bondage over our past mistakes when all along God has already forgiven us.... Listen in as this message may help bring great freedom in your life from a life you've left behind but may still be struggling with in some areas... God Bless you as you listen,

Pastor Mike continues in the short series of "Knowing Christ" as Paul declared he needed and wanted to in the book of Philippians. Knowing Christ is a process of learning to discipline ourselves and to understand how important it is to create, maintain and guard a spiritually thirsty and hungry condition in our hearts while we learn to be content with our worldly gains and conditions...

This week Pastor Mike is beginning a new series on what it means "To Know Christ" in the way the Paul desired to in his life. Paul has a mid to end of life revelation that he "Wants to Know Christ" better then he currently does... And if that's the case, then how much more should we as followers of Jesus 2000 years later want and need that so much more? But the question is, do you? What is your hunger to know Jesus? That's a real indicator of personal spiritual growth and maturity. **Special note** The beginning of this message Pastor Mike's wife Chris brings a very welcome message to the body of a new direction of our Christian Education department in regards to being ready for new growth and an overall direction for our church body...

Pastor Mike continues in the discussion of God's Grace by discussing how we live after our identity is declared "Righteous in the power of Christ". Our "Righteousness" is not in our own actions and abilities to gain, it's only thru the power of Jesus and His saving Grace. That determines our identity. Then we live holy and righteous as we follow His example. The light that shines in us is His luminance thru our life into a dark and broken world. That's what living a life in the light of God's Grace is all about and that's "Freedom"...
