Center Point Assembly

Sunday, May 29, 2022 - The title of today’s message is “Get Behind Me, Satan”. This is one of those potentially confusing things Jesus says that we need to understand because most of the time it’s the difficult things that Jesus says that have the most meaning in our life. After we read the context of this passage it becomes clear why Jesus takes this direct approach to deal with temptation. Get behind me, Satan! This is what we can take away from this. Jesus, being fully human had to deal with temptation just as we do. We find that Peter was unknowingly speaking the same words that Satan had previously spoken to Jesus in that the temptation was given to take a “short-cut”, the "easy way" out of the plans that God has for Jesus’s life, and likewise in our lives. How many times have we prayed for God to “Bless our plans, rather than pray for God’s plans?” There’s a lot we can learn from this simple yet powerful command, “Get behind me, Satan”. Please take a few minutes to worship and learn with us and then pray for God’s WILL in our lives, not our own selfish agenda to be done...

Sunday, May 22, 2022 – The title of the message today is “The Cost of Following Jesus”. Does it sound like a message you may not want to listen to? Well, if Jesus taught it, it makes sense that we should listen to what He teaches, right? Here’s the point, Jesus never speaks anything to discourage people or to push them away, rather He speaks to encourage and prepare people for what’s ahead. To prepare us, so that we aren’t disappointed or taken by surprise when hard things come to us, even after we have received His free gift of eternal life. Rest assured, life will be good and bad, whether you have a relationship with Jesus or not. I can promise you it will be a lot worse without Him, but it’s not a promise it will be a “bed of roses” with Him either. Remember we have an enemy that is still on the loose and he’s out to kill and destroy. But, we have a promise that if we count the cost and determine that we will follow Jesus at any cost, He will be with us to the end, and we will win! Worship with us and be encouraged as we count the cost together

Sunday, May 15, 2022 – The message today is about the “Parable of the Wedding Banquet”. This is one a few parables that Jesus spoke specifically to the Jewish people and leaders of his day calling them into a relationship with Him as the promised Messiah. It’s unfortunate that they repeatedly refused His invitation and thankfully Jesus extended that invitation to the gentiles. For this reason, this parable and others speak directly to us today. There are some really important elements that we discuss. One is the willful refusal is one of personal choice. It’s not that the invited couldn’t accept the invitation, it’s simply that they wouldn’t. Another is the importance of accepting and wearing the “wedding garments” that the king provides. We will see that the garments represent the righteousness that comes from the forgiveness of our sin. I pray you listen in and worship and study with us. Be blessed…

Mother's Day, May 8, 2022 - Today we have a special speaker - Kathy Hart gives a wonderful message on the Legacy of a godly mother and grandmother. It's more than just being a good cook and homemaker, but as Kathy so wisely says, it's about leaving a legacy of a bible reading and praying mother. For many of us that have had the blessing of a godly mother, it's their sincere faith that has kept us through the troubles of life. They are the bible lived out and brought to life as they model what Jesus teaches. We are so thankful for all of the mothers of our assembly. Thank you Kathy for bringing us a comforting and challenging message today. We're all blessed by you and Leland.
