Center Point Assembly

Pastor Mike continues in 1 Peter talking about the great love God has for His children and how He proves it to us through judgment. Peter emphasizes this in our text today, how judgment begins in the house of God. Is this a way that God shows His love? Think about it this way, God loves us so much He wants everyone to be perfected and completely delivered from the bondage of sin. Suffering and jud...

Continuing in our study of 1 Peter, Pastor Mike discusses some very serious and yet common questions about suffering as Peter addresses his readers. Everyone suffers, though it may appear that some may more than others. Yet the questions are the same, why is suffering required? Without being able to answer specific questions, scripture is clear that suffering for Christ serves a bigger purpose tha...

Pastor Mike takes us back into the study on 1 Peter today focusing on our "true identity" in Jesus. Like Peter, we are made into the living stones cut out of the Rock of Jesus. Jesus declares that He will build His Church such that the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. Do you know that Jesus uses people as the building blocks? People, like Peter, who have a revelation knowledge of who the...

Palm Sunday is the day that Jesus was declared to be the King of Israel. Many turned out that day to celebrate the coming of a new king and a new kingdom. It was a loud and rambunctious event in the city of Jerusalem. However, we see that for many of that day there was a disconnect in the agendas of man and God . God's agenda is clearly stated in scripture that He would have all mankind come to re...

Guest speaker Pastor Ryp talks today about having the "Faith that moves mountains in our life". There are times when we need to have the assurance that God is for us and not against us. Having the "NOW Faith" that God is not only able but he wants to do the miraculous in our lives. This is the kind of faith that exceeds our experiences. It will take us to places we haven't been before. We need to...

Guest speaker, Pastor Ryp Hankins challenges us this morning with a message helping us to understand the battleground of the mind. Maybe we think we have a good understanding of what this is, but after listening to this message I believe that you will see yourself a little different because God sees you differently then you see yourself. Pastor Ryp makes this point very clear and for many this is...

Pastor Mike continues in the study of 1 Peter, chapter 4. This message takes up where last week's left as we were discussing learning to "love what God loves and hate what God hates". This simple yet profound concept is the key to "living a life that is worth dying for". It's only when we can love and hate as God does that we can live a pleasing and victorious life through the power of the Holy Sp...

Pastor Mike is progressing thru the study of 1 Peter. Today we look at the passion of "Love and Hate" that God has for people and likewise for the sin in people. Why is it important to understand sin? Because it is the thing that separates Man from God. To understand how much God hates sin, we must first appreciate how much God loves man. God created a world of perfection for man to enjoy for all...

Pastor Mike continues in the study of 1 Peter with the question: How much of a risk taker are you? We will see in today's message that God loves people and He is very patient with them. At the same time, when God makes the decision to judge, He is very "just" in His judgment. Noah was a man of righteousness and he trusted God enough to build a huge ark that would save many if they would have chose...

Pastor Mike continues in the study of the book of 1 Peter focusing on what it means to live a consistent lifestyle before the world in humbleness and brokenness so that Jesus is glorified. Peter gives us the instruction that we are to be ready to give an answer to why we're different. The question is, are we consistent in our daily lives so that we really are different from the world so that they...

Missionaries Kevin and Karen Prevost from Spain minister in our service today. They are located in Madrid, Spain and their ministry is in the open space downtown Madrid. The call it, Red Box Ministry where they literally set up a red box and stand up on it and begin to the share the love of Christ to all those that walk by. Karen, gives us an example of a word picture of what they share and Kevin...

Pastor Mike remains in the study on 1 Peter and we discuss what it means to "Love people in Spite of..." all the things they are doing that seem so unlovable. We are all commanded according to Peter to love people as Christ loved and still loves us. It's only as we are willing and able to submit our hearts to Christ can we love as Christ loves. In the same fashion that we are to love as God loves...

Pastor Mike picks up on the study of 1 Peter again and continuing in the area of submission. We find that submission is the central theme of the bible and is THE key to our salvation. A rebellious person by definition cannot be considered to be a true follower of Christ as Christ was our example by being fully submitted to following the will of His Father. It's a challenge beyond all challenges, b...

Pastor Mike is back after a couple weeks of traveling and he brings a message of great challenge to "the church" saying that God often brings interruptions to our lives with the intent of showing us areas of required course corrections. These interruptions come at unexpected times and without our approval. They are God given opportunities for mid-life course corrections, minor or major, yet import...

Guest Speaker and former pastor Ryp Hankins continues his message from last week about what it means to live in and be drawn closer to God through living in the 'Supernatural'. God wants and intends for us to live in a state that is above the natural situations and circumstances of this world. As true followers of Christ, we have a heritage and the authority to live above the natural and into the...

This week Ryp Hankins, former pastor, shares his heart and passion for experiencing the power of the supernatural. His passion for Jesus and His power through the Holy Spirit is evident as he teaches us how to live in the supernatural above the distractions and brokenness of our world. People in our sphere of influence need to hear the voice of Jesus through us. Are we willing to let the power of...

Happy New Year 2017! Pastor Mike welcomes the new year with a declaration of praise and honor to God, declaring His praises and His will be done in His church. The message is about lining up our plans to God's plan and then living with a purpose and intentionality and discipline. God is planner and He has created us to plan as well. The best thing a person can do is allow God's plan to be revealed...

This is a portion of our Christmas Eve service with Pastor Mike speaking on the importance of "Opening the Gift" of Jesus. As a child, Christmas was all about opening presents on Christmas morning. There's nothing wrong with giving each other gifts, but do we have the appreciation of the most important Gift, being Jesus. The point of the message tonight is in the "Opening of the Gift" not just rec...

Special guest speaker Ryp Hankins delivers a message challenging us on what it means to be "Reluctant" in our walk with God. Reluctance is really disobedience to follow the "Call of God" during the seasons of our life. The challenge for us, are we listening and then willing to obey the call of God to do what He is asking of us. This means being willing to risk our reputation by being willing to st...

Pastor Mike continues in the series of 1 Peter and what we find is that the story of Christmas is revealed in the action of Submission. Jesus had to submit to the plan of His Father, Mary & Joseph submitted to the call of their lives and so did all the other characters in the story of Jesus birth. And we find that is just the beginning of what submission in action is all about. We find that submis...

This week Pastor Mike is continuing on in the study of 1 Peter and talking about the difficult subject of "Submission". This may be one of the harder subjects to speak about because our natural flesh man would prefer only to submit to himself. The act of submission is an act of coming under the mission of another, and most of the time that is a foreign idea and always requires a humble heart. We d...
