Center Point Assembly

We're continuing to discuss Holiness in regards to our relationship with God and how we are to be careful not to allow our attempts to be Holy to slip into a legalistic mindset. Legalism is the evil twin to holiness in that it may do many of the same things but with a wrong motivation that totally misses the mark of developing a relationship. We are instructed to "perfect holiness" through the power of empowering Grace that the Holy Spirit will give us as we ask Him to provide. Listen in to understand what this means and looks like...

This is Family Life Pastor Tyler Branigan's first message at Center Point and he is speaking on what it means to be prepared for the turns and twists of the journey of living a Christ-centered life. He uses examples from scripture and real-life lessons on the importance of making preparations and counting the cost before embarking. Once on the trip, it's too late to make needed preparations, so be wise in the planning...

This is a continuing discussion on legalism and the other extreme end of being a libertarian, where almost anything goes because some may have the misunderstood understanding of "living under Grace". Legalism certainly misses the mark of truly having a relationship with the Holy Spirit that makes one "Christ-like", the person may do many of the right things, but with the wrong heart motivation and sadly they miss the life-giving relationship that Jesus would give because their focus is on themselves versus the LOVE of HIs Heavenly Father. Holiness changes us from the inside out, where legalism focuses on the outside appearance of human effort. Too much to say, so take a few minutes and listen in and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal His heart to you and enjoy the living relationship of our Father's Holiness...

Pastor Mike is continuing to speak on the holiness of God and His Love for us and how much He desires us to be Holy as He is. This week we are discussing the differences of the legalistic mindset and that of the Holy Conviction that the Holy Spirit brings. The enemy of our soul is very present in the world of legalism because he uses the law of God against us. Legalism steals the joy of an obedient heart, while holiness through proper understanding not only brings the Joy but it protects as well. Listen in to learn more about this very important topic of being set free in the thrill of being holy...

This message is taken from a chapter in John Bevere's book, "Killing Kryptonite" and it challenges us with our priorities in life. God allows many good things in our life and if we're not very careful we can find ourselves allowing them to have a higher priority than God. In some ways these can be areas of testing in our life, are we going to seek the blessing over the blesser? Listen in and ask God to reveal the areas that we allow the good and neutral things to subtly take us away from the true relationship with Jesus that is the most important thing in all life...
