Center Point Assembly

This week Pastor Mike uses a couple videos produced by the Assemblies of God that describe the experiential and biblical perspective of a believer being Filled or Baptized in the Holy Spirit. The reason for this type of message is to help those that are new to or are struggling with this belief of a Baptism in the Holy Spirit as a sequential experince with the Holy Spirit following conversion, to understand that this is not a single person's viewpoint. Rather, this is a widely accepted teaching and application of what is taught in God's Holy Scripture. The prayer of this pastor is that all believers would seek the power of the Giver in all of His gifts so that we can be victorious in the life that we all are given to live...

Pastor Mike continues the teaching the Holy Spirit and the gifts that He gives to His people as they ask... The purpose of this teaching is to educate and encourage all of us in the "purpose of the Holy Spirit". We believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit is for every believer and as we allow Jesus to Baptize us in the Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit will come upon us and we will have the power and the ability to witness for Christ and He will be glorified in our lives... It's all about Jesus and His glorious work in our life...

Being the first week of the School year, Pastor Mike discusses a very important topic of "ministry in the body". The message this week encourages everyone to get involved in their local church by realizing that work is "ministry" if done unto the Lord. There is much to be done in the body, and as people see the work as ministry, there is much reward. The older generation needs to reach out to the younger generations and be willing to invest into them, thus raising them up. Ministry in the Body of Christ becomes a joy not a burden...

Pastor Mike continues in the series on the The Holy Spirit by speaking this week on the two extreme teachings, both missing the mark of what the bible speaks in regards to receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. One extreme is that at salvation one receives all there is of the Holy Spirit and the other extreme is that unless a person is Holy Spirit Baptized with the evidence of speaking in tongues they aren't saved. Neither of which are supported in scripture. Simply stated, Jesus Baptizes the believer with the Holy Spirit's power, which is the same Spirit that drew the believer to Jesus in the first place. The believer receives more of the same spirit that saved them as they are Baptized in the Holy Spirit. Faith is required for both experiences. The purpose of being Baptized in the Holy Spirit is for greater power and boldness in winning souls and serving the Body. It is a gift for all believers, if we would just receive...

Pastor Mike begins the next series on The Holy Spirit and what it means to be filled or "Baptized in the Holy Spirit". This is the introduction to the series and speaks about the "Normal Experience" of the early church being fully accepting of the Holy Spirit in both the area of regeneration or salvation and the experience of being Baptized and endued with power that the Holy Spirit brings. It is the prayer of this pastor that this series be directed and guided by the Holy Spirit and that the church today would once again allow and invite the Holy Spirit to be activated and sought after in His fullness...

Pastor Mike picks up and finishes the series on the Maturing Fruit of the Spirit by discussing the final characteristic describing of the Fruit of the Spirit being "Self-Control". The fruit of the Spirit is likened as a cluster of grapes, each is unique as a single grape yet always grows together and is seen as a cluster of grapes. Likewise, the Fruit of the Spirit is evident typically together in the life of true follower of Christ. This week we talk about Self-Control as the anchor fruit that ties and holds all the fruit together in the life of a person. With self-control a person is able to allow the Holy Spirit access to empower him or her to live a fruit filled life. Without self-control, anything goes and the ability to hold to accountability is non-existent. To get a better understanding, take a few minutes and listen in and allow the Holy Spirit to minister...

God has a calendar and He has established the end from the beginning. This weeks message helps us understand where we are on God's time schedule best we can. Once again, the purpose of these messages is to encourage us and to bring comfort. Look up our redemption draweth nigh...

Doyle ministers in music and delivers a powerful message as he ministers encouraging, comforting and challenging us all to use the gifts that God has given us to the best we can and also to be always on guard against the enemy of our soul, the Devil that prowls around looking for one to devour.

The speaker is Pastor Jimmy Evans from Gateway Church in Dallas, Tx and this is via video we are watching in our services.

Pastor Mike takes a sunday morning to address the most recent Supreme Court ruling on their attempt to redefine marriage. This weeks message quotes Dr. George Wood, General Superintendent of the A/G Fellowship and others and provides biblical insight on the position of the church on God's intentional perspective and purpose of marriage. The point is God is against all forms of sin. There isn't one form of sin more hurtful to man then another, all sin separates man from God and leads to eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire prepared for the devil and all that choose to follow him. On the other hand, faithful followers of Christ are called to a life of holiness. In the same fashion, there isn't one form of temptation over another that justifies one kind sin as ever being justifiable and acceptable to God. The sin of same-sex relations isn't any different then the sin of pride and a host of others, therefore special treatment of same-sex preferences is not defendable. God has instituted marriage between o

Dad's have you ever wondered if you're an effective father? How have you measured your effectiveness? Do you know the most important position you fill in life is to be a Godly father? Do you know how to be one? Lot's of questions in life, this message focus's on these and how God designed the father-child relationship to be identical to the Heavenly Father - child relationship we have with Him. Be encouraged, none are perfect in our fatherhood role, yet we are forgivable and able to make a new start. Listen for more of God's Word...

Pastor Mike is continuing in the discussion of the Fruit of the Spirit today focusing on Kindness and Goodness. We may not realize the significance of each fruit as discussed, but each one emphasizes another facet of the character of God. In case we forgotten why we're studying these fruit is because God's Word mandates that Christian people replicate God's character in their lives. How is one accountable unless one is taught? So come along and learn with us as we discuss some of the many attributes of Kindness and Goodness in the sight of God...

Special speaker and author Ted Brancheau, Jr. challenges us with a message of the "good soil" versus the hard, thorny, rocky and fertile soil and compares them to the lives of all of us that are sitting in churches and listening to this message. The truth of God's Word will bring a challenge to every heart because truth sets us free... Are you simply "saying" you're in Christ or are you actually "serving" Him? Listen in to be challenged and set free to serve Jesus with everything you have and are, so that we can sure our soil produces good fruit...

Pastor Mike is continuing in the series on The Holy Spirit with the emphasize on the Fruit of the Spirit - namely Patience. As we've been studying on the Fruit of the Spirit we understand that the world we live in is hungry for the nourishment a Holy Spirit filled person provides as they are living lives of ripened fruit. Its the Holy Spirit's power flowing through a person's life that draws the lost to Jesus that we're focusing on in this series. This week we speak on the fruit of Patience. Thanks God He is patient with us. It's His patience that leads to salvation and then it's His patience working in us that leads others to Christ. Listen to learn more of the Patience of the Spirit...

Pastor Mike continues in the series on the Holy Spirit and the maturing fruit of the Spirit. Today we speak on Joy and Peace. Where does eternal Joy and Peace come from? How do we have them in a world that is so dark, broken and out of control? We find from God's that we must totally surrender all of ourselves to God and invite the Holy Spirit to reign supreme in our lives as HE is the Joy and Peace giver. If you're struggling with Joy and Peace in your life, listen in to be encouraged...

Pastor Mike picks back up on the series he began a few weeks ago on the person of the Holy Spirit. This series of messages is designed to teach us about the role and the purpose of the Holy Spirit in the world and how important He is to our Christian life. The desire is to remove the misconceptions and to ignite a fire within us to desire more of the Holy Spirit in our lives. As we see His power and love for us, it is this pastor's prayer that we all run to Him and seek Him with our entire being. The beginning of this message talks about the true motivation one should have when they come to Christ for salvation. One must recognize that life with Christ comes with a price, even though the gift of salvation is free, it will cost one everything they have to live it out. And with that comes a battle of a life time. Recognizing that, a person is better prepared to seek and accept the power of the Holy Spirit to deliver them thru the battles knowing that they're coming and are unavoidable... Listen in to le

Happy Mother's Day - Pastor Mike talks about the love of a Mother and how powerful that is. God gives mother's a special gift of love for their children. A love that protects, provides and promotes that He also offers to those that are His children as well. God's love is eternally powerful for those that chose to accept it and reflect it back to Him. With that choice, we are adopted into the family of God and then God protects, provides and promotes us, His child as a mother does for her children. God's plan for family far exceeds earthly realms. Listen in and be blessed as God offers His love to you...
