Center Point Assembly

The Church that Jesus began so many years ago is still alive and well today. He said it would be so, and He said the gates of Hell will prevail against it. But in today's world, many are not seeing the values of the Church as maybe their forefathers did. Why is that? What is the value of church and why is it so important? We discuss this question today and I pray that it creates in your spirit a desire to be more of the church than maybe you were before.

Sunday, January 24, 2021. Continuing in our study of 2 Peter we are talking about the very real "Threat of Apostasy". These are some of the harder truths of God's Word that are not so much fun to deal with, yet are so important to our faith. What makes mankind so unique is that we are created in the image of God and that means we have the power of choice. The choice to choose right from wrong, good from bad, righteousness from unrighteousness. Even after we accept Christ as our savior and have a personal relationship with Him, we always have the right to choose to walk away from that relationship, as foolish as that would be. That's what we're talking about today. The necessity to guard our spiritual life and tend it like something extremely valuable. I know some will differ with me on this, but I ask you to listen in and read the scripture and then wholly submit to God. If that's your life's aim, then the threat of apostasy vanishes...

We are continuing after a few weeks of Holiday and New Year break in our study of 2 Peter. We are in the 2nd chapter of 2 Peter where Peter is now dealing severely with the false teachers and false prophets that are infiltrating the early church. We can only imagine, if they were making an impact then, how much more they are today. So, it's a very relevant study. You can read for yourself in this chapter how God feels about those that speak lies in His Name and how He will deal with them. What I am focusing on is the Freedom they promise, but are unable to give because they themselves are slaves to sin. One cannot give what they don't possess. The only freedom giver is Christ because He is free and He is able to give of what He has. So the title of this message is true - there is "freedom in Submission"... Be blessed as you listen in.

Sunday, January 10, 2021 - Guest Pastor Ryp Hankins gives a great message on "The Benefits of Fearing God". This is an especially timely message given the craziness of the world today. As Pastor Ryp makes perfectly clear there are consequences of not fearing God and great benefits otherwise. The fear we're speaking of is not the trembling kind that the enemy has of God, but rather the awe-inspiring kind that comes with great respect for who God is what He is capable of. Along with that is the fear of a man's reputation. So the questions everyone must come to grips with are: Do you have a deep reverential fear of God that causes you to do the things that please God? Or do you have a fear of your reputation among men that would cause you to fear man more than fearing God? These are both very important markers of one's character. Listen in and self-evaluate. Our prayer is that you fear God more than anything else in this life, including man... Be blessed...
