Center Point Assembly

We are moving from the introduction of the book of Malachi into the first part of the study. Malachi begins his rather upsetting conversation with the people of his day by reminding them that God has always loved them. They retort aggressively with him by asking "how has God loved us?". This begins the back and forth dialog with the people that characterize this entire book. Malachi goes directly to the Word of God to give them his answer. He doesn't mix God's Word with his feelings and emotions. This is great advice for us when we're doubting God's love for us as well. The whole theme of the Old and New testaments is God's love. There's so much to discuss, so I hope I can do justice in helping us understand how God loves and how we should love God back...

Today we are beginning a study on the last book of the Old Testament - Malachi. To have a proper place to begin this study on this very important yet short book of the Bible we need to have an understanding of the context of the day. So today's message is to set the stage, so to speak, of the conditions of the people that Malachi was speaking to. I believe that as we go through this study we will see how relevant it is to our lives today. Recognize this is the last time God spoke to his Jewish people for a period of 400 years, so it's easy to think that God has something pretty important say. Listen in and let's study together...

Guest speaker, Pastor Leland Hart brings a very encouraging word for us titled - "How God Sees You". In this message he reminds us how much God as a loving father loves his children and how much he desires a relationship with them. God loves all people, but until a person knows how to love God back, God's love is limited. How do we love God back? By accepting the forgiveness that Jesus provides and living a life of obedience to God's Word is the only way we can love God as God loves us. That's the relationship that takes the limits off of God's love for you and me so that we can then be adopted into the "Family of God". At that point, God becomes our Heavenly Father and we become His children. Listen in and be encouraged as Pastor Leland brings us the word...

This message "Fruit of Love" is the last of the series on the Fruit of the Spirit. Even though Love is mentioned as the first fruit, I'm speaking on it lastly because not only is it the beginning point of our relationship with Jesus, it is also the anchor point. Love holds all the Fruit together as a cluster of grapes grow and live together. If we could love and accept love as God does, we would be better people. Understatement of the year, I know, but it's the honest truth of the matter. We do good and we don't do harm to those that we truly LOVE. That's why the world is so crazily messed up, the LOVE of God is missing. Listen in, be challenged and encouraged to love better...
