    Know Yourself | It's Fine | Bradley Hamilton

    In this episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the complexities of emotions and the often unspoken struggles that come with being a Christ follower. Titled "It's Fine," we explore the tendency to brush aside negative feelings with a simple "it's fine," even when life feels anything but. Join us as we discuss: -The dangers of ignoring our emotions and the impact it can have on our relationships and mental health. -How Jesus and the Bible illustrate the importance of acknowledging our feelings. -Practical steps to process emotions, including the significance of acknowledgment, seeking guidance, and responding thoughtfully. -Personal stories and insights that highlight the journey of understanding and embracing our emotional experiences. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just trying to navigate life's ups and downs, this episode offers encouragement and practical advice for recognizing that it's okay to not feel okay. The Main Idea: Knowing God and knowing ourselves are deeply connected. We have to pay attention to our emotions, motivations, desires, and limitations rather than pretending to be who we think others want us to be. Growing spiritually means letting God reveal our “false self” so we can live honestly from the person He created us to be. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual. Our Sunday worship service is approximately a 75-minute experience designed to introduce people to the message of Jesus and equip believers to live their lives in response to the Gospel while their kids enjoy one of our safe children's environments. Centerpoint is designed to meet you wherever you are on the journey whether you are just checking out the "church thing" or you are a committed Christ follower. Centerpoint is a casual environment that combines today's music with creative media and relevant teaching. We hope you will visit us at Centerpoint Church regardless of what your past church experience has looked like.

    What feels normal to us at Centerpoint is extraordinary to someone walking through our doors for the first time. Now it’s time to make room for the people who aren’t here yet. In this message, we share the full vision for Reimagine: Build new: An 813-seat auditorium and expanded lobby for connection and community Repurpose current: Our current auditorium becomes a gym, classrooms, and gathering space, doubling room for CC Kids and CC Students Partner with Tampa Bay HEAT: HEAT is purchasing our current auditorium building, which helps fund the new auditorium while serving thousands of homeschool families throughout the week Like the servants at the wedding in Cana (John 2), we’re invited to do what we can and trust Jesus with what we can’t. Years from now, let’s be able to say, “I got to be part of that.” 📅 Commitment Sunday: November 22 Learn more at centerpointfl.org/reimagine The Main Idea: We’re not building a building just to build a building. We’re creating an alternative to church as usual for this community and beyond—because there are still people who need to experience the life and freedom found in Jesus. Today, we’re taking the next step in the story of this movement and sharing what we’re reimagining for our future facility and community partnerships --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

    What Matters Most | An Alternative to Church as Usual | Bryant Golden

    In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into the fifth part of our series, exploring the concept of spirituality and how it differs from traditional measures of faith. Join us as we unpack the vision of creating an alternative to church as usual, focusing on removing barriers for people seeking life and freedom in Jesus. We discuss the importance of maturity in Christlikeness, emphasizing that true spirituality is not about knowing the right theology or following a set of rules, but about how well we love others. Discover how Jesus redefined spirituality and the significance of His command to love God and our neighbors as ourselves. Key topics include: -The distinction between spirituality and maturity -Jesus' radical claims about authority and love -The importance of community and intentional growth -How to measure spiritual maturity through love and kindness Whether you're new to faith or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers valuable insights into what it means to truly follow Jesus and express our faith through love. Don't miss out on this transformative conversation! Read along with our chosen scripture: Matthew 22:37-40; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 5:22-23 The Main Idea: So much of our church background has been built around a “me and God” paradigm—what I believe, what I know, and how I grow. But Jesus changed the paradigm. He taught that loving God is inseparable from loving our neighbor. Spiritual maturity isn’t measured only by what we know or feel about God, but by how we love, serve, forgive, and treat the people around us. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

    Winning at Losing | An Alternative to Church as Usual | Bryant Golden

    In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the concept of what it truly means for the church to "win." As we explore the distinctive ideals of creating an alternative to church as usual, we challenge the notion that the church is winning at the wrong things. Join us as we discuss the importance of removing unnecessary barriers for people seeking faith, the need for an outward focus, and the power of grace—even when it feels risky. We address the tension many feel in the American church, where the focus often shifts to fighting against perceived enemies rather than embracing the heart of Jesus. Discover how the Apostle Paul redefined his win after encountering Jesus, emphasizing the importance of loving others and creating common ground. We also tackle the uncomfortable reality that sometimes losing something is necessary to win someone to Christ. This episode is a call to action for all of us to reflect on what we are willing to lose in order to help others encounter Jesus. Whether it's letting go of political affiliations, personal preferences, or the need to be right, we explore how these sacrifices can lead to greater connections and a more authentic faith. Key Topics: -The church's scorecard: Are we winning at the right things? -The importance of grace and an outward focus -Paul's transformation and the law of Christ -What are we willing to lose to win others to Jesus? Read along with our chosen scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 The Main Idea: A generation isn’t walking away from Jesus—they’re often walking away from a version of church that has been weaponized for culture wars and political battles. We’ve taught people to win arguments and pick sides instead of win people and love our neighbors. An alternative to church as usual is not about taking sides; it’s about creating space where all people can encounter the life and freedom found in Jesus. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

    Warning Label | An Alternative to Church as Usual | Bryant Golden

    In this powerful episode, we dive into the heart of Christianity and explore the one essential element that, if removed, would cause the church to lose its true identity. Join us as we discuss the concept of grace and how it serves as the foundation of our faith. We reflect on the historical struggles of the church to maintain this core principle amidst the temptation to revert to old systems of rule-keeping and judgment. Discover how grace, when fully understood, transforms our relationships with God and others, leading us to express our faith through love rather than legalism. Throughout the episode, we address common concerns about the potential for grace to be abused and emphasize the importance of serving one another humbly in love. We also highlight the significance of recognizing our own shortcomings and how that awareness can deepen our appreciation for God's grace. Whether you're a long-time follower of Jesus or someone exploring faith, this episode invites you to embrace the radical and freeing message of grace. Let's create a community where everyone feels welcome to come home, no matter their past. Key Topics: -The essential role of grace in Christianity -The dangers of legalism and rule-keeping -How grace transforms our relationships -The call to love others as God loves us Read along with our chosen scripture: Romans 6:1–2; Romans 5:20–21 The Main Idea: Unbridled grace makes religious people nervous because it threatens our need for control. We worry people will abuse grace, but far more people have been wounded by the control of religion than by the freedom of grace. In fact, Paul anticipated that objection in Romans 6—if no one could possibly abuse the grace we're preaching, we may not be communicating just how amazing God's grace really is. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

    Outward Focused | An Alternative to Church as Usual | Bryant Golden

    In this episode, we dive into the second week of our series focused on creating an alternative to church as usual. Join us as we explore the importance of removing unnecessary barriers for those seeking a connection with God, especially for those who have felt like outsiders in their faith journey. We reflect on the story of Jesus and Matthew, a tax collector who was considered an outsider in his community. Discover how Jesus' invitation to follow Him was not just about belief, but about participation and investigation. We discuss the significance of creating a welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their past or current beliefs. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the mission of our church: to be a place where people can belong before they believe. We share practical steps on how we can all play a role in making our community a welcoming space for those who feel far from God. Don't miss this insightful discussion that challenges us to rethink our approach to faith and community. Key Takeaways: -The importance of removing barriers for those seeking faith. -Jesus' approach to outsiders and how we can emulate that. -Practical steps to create a welcoming environment in our church and community. Read along with our chosen scripture: Luke 15:11–32; Matthew 9:9–13; Luke 19:1–10 The Main Idea: The church is the body of Christ, so it should reflect the heart of Christ. As you follow the life of Jesus, it's impossible to miss that He was continually drawn to outsiders, and they were drawn to Him long before they fully understood who He was or what He taught. If sinners, skeptics, and those far from God aren't welcomed and drawn to our church the way tax collectors and sinners were drawn to Jesus, then we've missed something essential about what it means to represent Him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

    Don't Make It Difficult | An Alternative to Church as Usual | Bryant Golden

    In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the vision behind creating a different kind of church—one that serves as an alternative to traditional organized religion. Our host shares insights on the importance of removing unnecessary barriers that prevent people from experiencing life and freedom in Jesus. Join us as we explore the journey of reclaiming the church for all people, addressing common misconceptions, and discussing how we can create a welcoming environment for those who have walked away from faith. Throughout the episode, we reflect on the early church's challenges and how they relate to today's context, emphasizing the need for patience and understanding in spiritual growth. Discover how we can meet individuals where they are, allowing for progress at their own pace, and fostering genuine connections with Jesus.

Topics Covered: -The vision for an alternative church -Removing unnecessary barriers to faith -The importance of patience in spiritual growth -Creating a welcoming environment for all -Real-life stories of transformation Read along with our chosen scripture: Acts 15 The Main Idea: For too many people, what's been normal about church is that it's felt unnecessarily hard to navigate. But from the very beginning, the church was designed to remove barriers and make it easy for people who were turning to God to find Jesus. We don't want to miss that mission by making church harder than Jesus ever intended it to be. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.
