The Central Moment Central Assembly

No risk, no reward; no pain, no gain; no steps of faith, no breakthroughs. Everything worthwhile in life will require taking risks. And although we may only have a ‘perhaps’ on the front side risk, on the other side is a God who is able!

God validates our callings with confirmations and favor. Although trust is earned, not demanded, the Lord knows how to raise us up and create those trust-earning moments.

Life without God’s Spirit is like a car without gas. We can get out and push, but it is far better to be fueled up and drive. When the Holy Spirit comes upon us our lives change and we live in power not our own.

It’s honestly not easy to live differently than the world around us. Yet we are called out to be holy, to serve a Kingdom not of this world, and to make Jesus our King.

The God who created us has acted to redeem us. The concept of a ‘redeemer’ is embedded deeply in the Bible. It points to humanity’s greatest need and our loving Creator’s greatest act.
