Centerpoint Church, Florida

The first line of the first section, or book, of the Torah would cause the ancient world to rethink everything. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God… It turns out that the church scripture was right... You’re here ON PURPOSE W/PURPOSE You are not the result of a cosmic conflict between the gods. You were not created by the universe. GOD WANTED IMAGE-BEARERS who would relate with one another and him.

We’ll discover that many of us were given a Bible as kids full of weird stories, difficult names to pronounce, and confusing subplots. We were told everything in it was true, we should believe it, and do our best to obey it. Then we grew up. Suddenly, our simple child-like faith gave way to grown up questions. In this series we'll discover the story of how we got the Bible and why we can take it s...

We have been called to be salt and light in our generation. Wherever we find ourself in life...God's placed us there strategically for this season. And salt always preserves and light always shines.

Life is imminent. And we are stewards of the extraordinary message of good news. Let's be FOR our city by letting them know about that good news.

Have you ever wanted to make a difference? Well, here’s your chance! There are needs right in front of you and we have made it easy to act. Let's let the people of our city know we are FOR them.

God often uses the “weak.” Which means if God is calling you to something and you don't feel ready - you're perfect. God uses our weakness and vulnerabilities to show off his strength. We often disqualify ourselves from God using us to be his hands and feet because of our lack. Or we use it as an excuse to not be used by God out of fear. But God works through, redeem, and transform our vulnerabili...

It's easy to believe a lie about what will make us free only to end up more enslaved than ever. The way of Jesus can seem restrictive initially but ultimately it's the counterintuitive path to freedom.

We all have believed lies about what we thought would make us happy. The lie is that if I prioritize my own pleasure I'll be happy. But you won't. The reality is when you prioritize fulfillment over pleasure, you get both. And ultimately, you find happiness.

Some of the biggest lies we believe are the lies about who we are. Once you discover the truth about who you are it becomes a catalyst for all that God wants to do in you and through you.

In the series we’ll talk about how every human being, religious or not, is prone to believe lies. In fact, every bad decision we’ve made has come from a lie we believed. So, how do we decipher what is true in a world with so much misinformation? What lies are you potentially believing right now?

Good At Looking Good // This is a series that we do twice a year around different topics designed to inspire you to say "this is My Church.” Because when the church becomes a movement you are a part of rather than a place you attend, it can change your life. And, through you, we can change our community.

It's Our Turn // This is a series that we do twice a year around different topics designed to inspire you to say "this is My Church.” Because when the church becomes a movement you are a part of rather than a place you attend, it can change your life. And, through you, we can change our community.

Friends. New Girl. Ted Lasso. Seinfeld. How I Met Your Mother. Why are we so drawn to these shows? We all want to have those 3-5 best friends who know everything about us and do everyday life with us. We put so much pressure on ourselves and others to fit this ideal. We get overwhelmed with the time and energy it will take to develop these friendships. But what if I told you living a relationally...

Filling the Void // We think the desire for more in this life can be solved in this life. But our desire for more in this life is a desire for life with God in heaven.

Nothing is Wasted // God never wastes anything which is really good news for us. Because heaven is a reminder that God will not give up on his creation and that nothing we experience in this life will be wasted. No matter how hard things are right now, we can know that God will not waste our pain, our hope, or our life.

Life At It's Best // Ever felt like heaven didn’t seem that compelling? You would never say it out loud but you’ve thought it. For many people the idea of heaven is an existence separated from everything we know. But the reality is that we were created for life in this world. Ultimately, heaven is the fulfillment of God’s original design for this life and our world at its best. - Bryant Golden

Address The Mess // Nobody gets life right one hundred percent of the time. So, what do we do to address the mess we’ve already made and get life right.

Jonathan Shepherd // Life has enough unavoidable regret. The last thing we want to do is unnecessarily add to it. So, let’s avoid what can be avoided.

Every decision is leading in a direction. But too often we see decisions as a destination rather they a pathway. What if we paid attention to the direction our decisions were leading us?

Bryant Golden // There are two categories of people who have made a significant impact in your life: Those who hurt you and those who love you. Their theology didn't define you but their treatment of you did. That is what changed the world. That is what love demands. Specifically, that is what love demands of you. As we end the series the challenge for each of us is to embrace three commitments. 1...

Bryant Golden // In the previous week, we talked about embracing Jesus' command to love others rather than looking for loopholes. This week we'll talk about how loving one another changes our motivation for what we do and eliminates any room for loopholes and workarounds.

Bryant Golden // Christians tend to love loopholes. Which ultimately leads to using the Scripture rather than obeying the scriptures. We know all the verses about other people's sin. But Jesus doesn't like it when we twist his Father's words to avoid doing His Father's will. Disciples apply the scriptures through the filter of love rather than looking for loopholes.

Bryant Golden // The brand of Christianity that many have been exposed to seems obsessed with moralizing society. We point our fingers and call out how other people should act and behave. People who never signed up to follow Jesus in the first place. Yet, Paul made it abundantly clear that we are to love others and stop judging outsiders. It's none of our business. Ironically, it's that brand of t...

Bryant Golden // Why does Christianity appear so angry so much of the time? Those who understand what it means to follow Jesus understand that God could not love you more and nothing you can do can cause him to love you less. Which means sin should always break our hearts not make us angry. And repentance should always stir our hearts.

Bryant Golden // The term Christian or Christianity is full of negative emotions for so many people in our culture. In many cases, people who claim to be a Christian look nothing like Christ. And many people who walked away from faith experienced a brand of Christianity that Jesus never intended. So, what if we just quit being Christians? What if we rebranded the brand to look more like Jesus? In...
