Center Point Church

Words have incredible power. They can hurt, they can uplift, and they can stick around in our memories forever. As we continue our journey through the book of James, we dive into what he has to say about the dangers of favoritism and gossip in the church.

Life can be hard sometimes. It’s inevitable. But how a Christian views trials and difficulties says more about their trust in God than anything else. As we start our new series “Here Comes Trouble,” we dive into the book of James to see how we can change our perspective on pain.

After 7 weeks of Jesus stories, it's finally time for us to wrap up "Summer Playlist" with another edition of CP Rewind. Hope you're as ready as we are to start diving into the book of James starting this Sunday!

We all have problems we try to solve on our own, but what happens when we fully and faithfully give Jesus control? As we wrap up our "Summer Playlist" series, we take a lot at the story of Jesus and the pool, where a man was healed after spending 38 years in hopelessness.

There is a difference between child-like faith and immature faith, and today we dive into another parable of Jesus to examine those differences. When Jesus said that a child was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, he was actually giving us a blueprint of what our faith should look like.

In Matthew 13, Jesus gives a chain of parables about the kingdom of heaven. As we continue our "Summer Playlist" series, we look into the final of those parables: The Parable of the Net. While it may seem like a simple fishing story, there is a deep truth in the importance of establishing our faith in Christ.

Ever heard of Marty McFly theology? Well today as we continue our "Summer Playlist" series, we go back to the Gospels to discuss the parable of the 10 virgins. While it may seem like a bit of an obscure story on the surface, it holds a deep truth about the importance of preparation for the end goal we know awaits us.

Life can be full of moments that require courage to pull through. When the setbacks happen, we find out just how strong our foundation is. As we continue our "Summer Playlist" series, we look at how a bold statement from Peter illustrated the power of courage in the face of the enemy.

Have you ever found yourself wishing your past self knew everything you do now? Often times, we actually had the answers along, we just weren't ready to receive the truth or ignored it all together. In the second week of "Summer Playlist," Pastor Brandon Petty looks into another parable of Jesus to reveal the importance of paying attention during the tension.

The Gospels are filled with stories of Jesus, but one of the most intriguing is the time he cursed a fig tree while travelling and hungry. As we start our new series, "Summer Playlist." we break down the deeper meaning to this seemingly random story. Jesus taught often on the importance of growing fruits, and too often the green leaves in our lives can distract us from our real purpose.

God can show up in our lives in very different ways and different times, but it's never too late to lean into the calling that He has for your life.

Whether it was Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, or Moses, some of the greatest heroes of faith in the Bible never got to enter the promised land they led others to. Scripture is filled with examples of the power of planting invisible trees, even if we don't get to immediately see what they grow into. As we wrap up "Fight Like a Mom," we look at the importance of faithfully planting those seeds...

Mother's Day means something different to everyone, and motherhood itself is always a unique journey. This Mother's Day, we invited three mothers within our church (Lauren Pugh, Jennifer Hines, and Katie Sasser) to speak on their different paths as mothers and the importance of recognizing that parenting isn't about perfection, but about the love of a perfect Savior.

Do you have any prayers you've given up on? Why did you give up? In the first sermon of our new series "Fight Like a Mom," we look back at the story of a mother whose faith was so strong that Jesus was taken aback by it. She fought for her miracle with her faith, and her request was granted because of it!

Year 3 of Elephant in the Room is complete, and what better way to celebrate than having Pastor Jason join us for another edition CP Rewind! In this episode, we take a look into the behind the scenes of the series and discuss how we can take all that we learned and share it with those around us, especially in our homes. Oh, and we ask Jason a couple more pressing questions for good measure.

Can you believe in God and have anxiety? How do Christians deal with grief? Mental health can leave a lot of unanswered questions in the church, so that's why we're starting off this year's Elephant in the Room series with Dr. Mike Courtney answering your questions about anxiety, PTSD, and much more.

Christ is risen, and hope is here, but what does that mean for us now? This Easter, we look at two stories woven into one. Both showing the power of Jesus AND the power of hope we have through him. That same hope still changes lives and brings healing, but it takes more than just being around the things of God.

With another series in the books, it's time for the Search Engine edition of CP Rewind! In this episode, we navigate through the key themes of a much different type of series from normal, while also taking on life's biggest questions. Cats or dogs? Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Chances are, you’ve had a Jehovah’s Witness come to your door before. But have you ever taken the time to hear what they believe? In the finale of our “Search Engine” series, we look into the history of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and discuss how they view Jesus, the trinity, and the end of time.

Satanism was created to be the direct opposite of Christianity, so should Christians talk about it?
