Center Point Assembly

Pastor Mike continues in the discussion of discipleship. The last couple weeks he spoke about the "Cost of Discipleship" and the "Purpose of Discipleship", this week he speaks on the tactical aspect of "Being" a disciple. What do I have to do to be a disciple of Christ? We see in God's Word good instruction for us to love and obey God's commands and His teachings. To do this we must be action orientated or no matter what the intent is or how much faith we have, nothing is accomplished and thus we aren't following Christ in discipleship. The writer and brother of Christ said it best, "Faith without action is dead", therefore we must be actively working our discipleship so that we are building the kingdom of God...

Pastor Mike continues in the theme of discipleship this week by speaking on the "Purpose of Discipleship". Last week we spoke on the cost of being a disciple, and this week we discuss is it worth it to be disciple and what's the purpose? We will discuss the importance of following Jesus and not just be a fan of Jesus. This is shown thru our life as being an imitator of Christ, getting to know the true character of God, and then becoming a fruit bearer of the Kingdom of God. All of this said, we can only do this as we place and keep Christ at the Center Point of our lives... Listen in and let the Holy Spirit challenge you...

Pastor Mike discusses what it means and what the cost of being a true disciple of Jesus is... We all like to find a good deal, finding a 'treasure' and then to be able to negotiate a good price on it is something we all like to do... The problem is that this mentality has invaded the church world when it comes to following Jesus. We all want the "Crown" of life, but are willing to bear the "Cross" to gain it? We think we can negotiate with God what it takes to be a disciple... God is not a negotiator! He clearly lays out His instructions for us to follow to be a true follower or disciple of Jesus... He is not willing or able to give us "deal" to get into Heaven... We have to be sold out and all in, if we are going to hear Him say, well done thou good and faithful...

This is the final lesson that we have from Lass the sheep dog. In this lesson we pretty much wrap up why Lass is on the farm - to serve the master at all cost. By this time Lass has learned all the things that she needed to know to be an effective co-worker with the sheep farmer, the test for her now comes in her willingness to apply the knowledge she has. It isn't until she applies what she knows does she become an effective co-worker. It's the same for us as Christ's co-workers... Do we have the same level of commitment to work so willingly for God? This is a good reminder for all of us and an encouragement to not give up, stay diligent and do for Christ... As we do, He sees all and everything we do will be noticed and rewarded... So work with Joy knowing that God has our life in His hand...
