We are more inundated than ever before with the temptations to compare. But comparison is a primary distraction to the life God has for us.

Jesus offers life to the full but so many people in our culture are not experiencing that life. The reality is we have an enemy that wants to steal, kill, and destroy our lives. His strategy is subtle. It's will distract us into living for less.

The Easter story is as disorienting as our lives sometimes. It begins with throngs of people anticipating the coronation of a king only to get a crucified criminal. From hopeful to despair in the course of days. It’s the same with our lives. Events that we didn’t anticipate can easily undermine our faith in God and lead to questions and doubt. But you aren’t alone. They did for Jesus' initial foll...

Personal ministry grows our faith because it positions us to experience God’s power in our weakness.

Hey there, it's Brian Golden, your host from Centerpoint Church. I'm so grateful you're tuning in to our latest podcast episode. Today, we dove into the final part of our series, "Reassembly: A Beginner's Guide to Repairing Broken Relationships." In this episode, we explored the challenging journey of repairing broken relationships, emphasizing the importance of humility and learning how to naviga...

Addressing and owning my part of the blame depends on me. This means reconciliation always begins in the mirror. It begins by praying, “If there’s something I need to own in this, I want to own it.” That may be the beginning of freedom for you because you can’t do anything about them. It begins with us doing what we hope and pray the other person is willing to do.

Jesus could have forgiven at arm’s length, but not reconciled. Reassembling requires moving in the direction of the unreconciled. If we choose to follow Jesus, we’ll do the same. We will move and remove every obstacle possible. The goal isn’t reconciliation; the goal is no regrets. What's stopping you?

Open hands are a reminder of who it all comes from. Open-handed living safeguards us from obsessing over what’s there rather than who placed it there. “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven” (John 3:27). Jesus invites you into a life of joy, contentment, and happiness.

The virus of insecurity presents in many, many ways, making identifying and treating the virus difficult. Most of us attempt to treat the symptoms, but unless we root out the real cause, we’ll never fully heal. In the Psalms, King David reminds us that we have divine security, and he should know because he, too, suffered from the virus.
