Center Point Assembly

Pastor Mike continues to speak on Faith this morning taking off from where he left last week. God requires us to have faith if we are to be pleasing to Him. And with this requirement God gives us the path for increasing faith thru the hearing of His Word and thru a developing relationship with Him. The greatest compliment one man can give another is to say, "I have faith in you, I trust you and wh...

Pastor Mike brings a word on Faith this morning and during the message God redirects the content. The Lord spoke to all of us through the requirement of having Faith in God that takes us through the seasons of our life. God allows and brings things into our life that He calls "good" while possibly we call "bad" yet in the end, if we allow Him control, He brings grace and victory to the humble in s...

Pastor Mike talks about the importance of God given unity in the body of Christ. Often unity is confused with man-made uniformity which is at best a temporary attempt of unity. God gives unity in the body through the power of the Holy Spirit which depends on people allowing the diversity of their spiritual gifts to be used to build up the body. Uniformity would have a contrary effect as it would t...

Pastor Mike continues in the vein of Worship again this week and brings a clear call to the life of every believer regarding who or what we worship and the power that God entrusted us with as He gave us free choice to Worship whatever we honor as worthy... The statement was made - "Whatever you Worship during your week determines how you Praise & Worship God on Sunday". If it's difficult to Praise...

Pastor Mike discusses Worship this morning taking off from a message he preached a couple weeks ago on what a typical service is like at Center Point. In that message he talked about Worship and mentioned that Worship is too important of a topic to cover in one setting... So he digs a deeper into what Worship is really about and how IMPORTANT and POWERFUL it is in our lives... Basically, what a pe...

Pastor Mike talks about the future as Paul has instructed us to in Philippians 3 where Paul lets go of the past, in fact he says he forgets the past and strains for the future. Meaning he works to let go and works harder to move forward. When we do that we have great rewards as promised in our eternal home...

Pastor Mike takes an exploratory look at what a typical service is like at Center Point. He breaks down each component of the service and tries to explain the biblical context of what we do and why we do it according to scripture. We stress at Center Point the unerring Word of God and strive to make everything we do in our service to bring Glory to Jesus. We prioritize Jesus as the focus and the '...

This week Aubrey Way shares her experience as she has recently returned from an outreach with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). She spent time in her Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Kona, and the 3 months in Nepal and Tibet. She shares of her exciting trip and how Jesus made himself known time and again in her life, in her team and to those they ministered to. After this Pastor Mike shares a shor...

Pastor Mike takes the "Time" this morning to talk about "Time" and it's results... Jesus has given us the choice to accept His sacrifice for our sin - that's the gift of eternal life, it's now our choice to accept that and live in it - or not... That's the path that leads to eternal life - a path of "Reward". Its a path available to everyone if we so choose... There's also a path called "Regret",...

Pastor Mike talks this morning about the true meaning of Christmas as he continues in his series of what it means to know Jesus. This morning he describes Jesus as the "Gift of the Second Chance". Mankind, made in the perfect image of the Trinity, in a single act of disobedience and rebellion broke the heart of God and the eternal union thereof - hence death and destruction entered humanity. Jesus...

Pastor Mike continues teaching how to know Jesus in the "Middle of our lives" and how to apply the principles to living our every day lives. We were given an edifying word during Praise & Worship by a young man that fits perfectly into the message encouraging us to remember how big God is and how perfectly He loves us. With that as a foundation we learn to pray and trust God in the doldrums of liv...

Pastor Mike continues in the series "To Know Jesus..." The message begins with a testimony of a young man in our congregation that gives Jesus all the Glory for setting him free to a new life for Jesus... This week we discuss the significance of being "Devoted to Truth". One can be devoted to many things that don't lead to Jesus who is the only way to the Father. Therefore care must be taken to be...

Pastor Mike continues on the topic of *Knowing Jesus* and the attributes thereof. This message is about how we are to *Dwell in the Land* that promotes Jesus in our life. The enemy brings much confusion as to what the *Land* is that we are to dwell in. We are to dwell in the *land of the eternal* not the land of the temporary things of this world. Basically we dwell in the presence of the Lord......

Pastor Mike continues down the path of what it means "To Know Jesus so that we can make Him known". This week we begin with the size of God, based on Isaiah 40:12 - God measures the heavens with the span of his hand - meaning God is indescribably huge and we are unable to comprehend Him in all of His glory... Yet the more amazing thing is "He" still knows us personally and is jealous for our quiet...

Pastor Mike continues the discussion of what it means "To Know Jesus..." The message begins with a testimony of a college student in our church family that understands what it means to have Jesus build the foundation of her life... What's so amazing is to discover that once one starts to think and learn about Jesus one will never be able to fully exhaust the discussion. Jesus is so much more then...

Pastor Mike challenges us all this morning in what it means to know Jesus on a personal level more then maybe we have thought about before... We have a tendency to minimize God in ways that we can manage Him in our lives and in so doing we also minimize His power and His authority... Certainly God is a personal God, but we are intended to be His and not make Him ours so that we can "manage" Him in...

Pastor Mike looks at the how God chooses to use people to build His church. Every person has a divine purpose and appointment to be used in the building of the Kingdom of God. We are to boldly proclaim the message of the Gospel and to state just as John the Baptist did, "He must increase and I must decrease". As we obediently serve and trust Jesus we can expect Him to continue to bring changes in...

Pastor Mike prayerfully was given this word to speak of the life of Gideon and how it impacts the church of today. This message speaks directly to our local congregation and also has a very direct message to the church across America. Gideon had two tasks given to him by the Angel of the Lord, 1) to tear down his father's idols, and 2) to deliver Israel from the hand of the Midians with a vastly r...

Rev. Ted takes us deeper into the meaning of being a personal minster in the house of the Lord... Every person has a gifting and a call in and on their lives as they are obedient to live a life sold out to Jesus. Ted speaks to us from the years of experience and from the anointing that the Lord places on his life to give our church for a specific word for us and all those that will listen in...

This week Pastor Mike continues to talk about the complacency that has invaded the Christian church all across our community and country. However, there is a solution to it that God has given to each one of us and that's through the power of Praise, Worship and Prayer... In fact, it may be the only thing that allows us to break thru the bondage that Satan places on us. Understand that Satan doesn'...

There he was challenged w...
