Center Point Assembly

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...

Pastor Mike continues on to Lesson 6 - "Love & Discipline" in the book from Phillip Keller titled "Lessons From a Sheep Dog". This week we talk about the interdependence of Love and Discipline and how we really can't have one without the other. God's love for us is so complete that He disciplines us so that we don't fall back into the "Wrong Hands" of our previous master, Satan.... The boundaries that God set's for our lives is based on love and thus discipline is required to keep us within His boundaries for our benefit. God's love always wins as God's people are obedient... Listen in as this story is unfolded explaining how Love and Discipline are vital in our lives...

This week Pastor Mike is continuing on with a series on a book written by Phillip Keller, titled "Lessons From a Sheep Dog". We are in lesson 5 which is "The Test of Faithfulness". In this we learn that God may place us in areas of life with specific details that we would wonder if we're really effective and accomplishing much. In these times we have the distinct impression that God has set us aside and maybe forgotten about us. In times like this we become tempted to lay down our responsibilities and look for things to do of our own choosing. We want the spectacular in life, thinking that's where all the action is and if it's not spectacular it's not worth doing... This lesson reminds us that God isn't about that, he's about the heart that quietly goes about the task at hand. One that remains faithful in the midst of difficulty and isn't distracted by the things that come from the outside nor from the internal distractions that would ultimately take us away from the true heart of seeking after God. God is looking for those He can trust with being faithful in all walks if life... Are you being faithful and steadfast for Jesus? Listen in to hear more about this ever challenging topic...

Pastor Mike continues on with the Series on the short book "Lessons From a Sheep Dog" by Phillip Keller. This week we discuss lesson 3 & 4, "Learning to Trust" and "The Delight of Obedience". We see Lass now at the Sheep farm and learning how to do her job with her new master. She is learning the ins and outs of herding sheep, and one of the first things both she and her master must learn of each other is "TRUST"... We find in this lesson a very important lesson with God, that as we learn to TRUST Him, he TRUSTS us back with more spiritual blessing... Listen in to find why... Also, we learn that to obey God is a blessing and a true delight. It's really only as we learn to obey that life becomes the joy that it is intended for us to have... Obedience is not a burden, it's a true joy and a delight... Again, listen in...

Pastor Mike continues with the book written by Philip Keller, "Lessons From a Sheep Dog" with lesson 2, titled "Set Free - To Follow". In this discussion we see the indescribable joy that God our Heavenly Father has when we willing give up our perceived "freedoms" as a human being, created in His likeness and choose to live a life of love and dedication to Him. We see for our benefit that it's only then as we willingly place our life into the 'boundaries' of living for Jesus can we truly be free and enjoy the freedoms thereof... Prior that decision, we may feel we are living a life worth living, but in all reality we are living a life destined to be destroyed... God frees us as we are set free to follow...
