WELCOME TO CENTER OF HOPE

CHURCH

We are a family of believers that are being transformed by the love of God. 

We have found that God truly loves us and has a plan of life and hope for each one of us.  Each one has a testimony of how God has healed, delivered, provided, protected or helped them.  

Jesus Christ died on the cross for us so that we can receive new life, hope and help.  

You can find new life.

You can find hope. 

 You can find a place to belong.

I Believe in Jesus Christ

Linked Obedience

Read Luke 2:21–32

In this day of technology, we are familiar with linked information. The “click here” prompt takes us to expanded knowledge on almost any topic a person can imagine.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ (Luke 2:26).

Joseph and Mary were obedient to the Law of God when they brought Jesus to the temple to present Him to the Lord.

Simeon, believing that he would see the Messiah before he died, moved when he was prompted by the Spirit. He obeyed and went to the temple courts (Luke 2:27).

Simeon’s revelation of God’s promise was linked to Joseph and Mary’s obedience to the Law which was linked back to Simeon’s obedience to the Holy Spirit’s nudge. These linked acts of obedience were instrumental in the fulfillment of God’s initial promise to Simeon.

What link do you fill in God’s plan? Is someone’s spiritual growth, or an answered prayer, dependent on your obedience?

Prayer Suggestion: Lord help me be sensitive to the prompting of Your Holy Spirit and obedient to Your command.

Two years after the founding of the Assemblies of God, members adopted 16 beliefs for the Fellowship. This list, known as the Statement of Fundamental Truths, remains virtually unchanged. Four of these beliefs are considered the major tenets of the Fellowship. They are:

1. Salvation Through Jesus Christ (John 3:3, 16, 17; Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:8, 9)
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.
   
2. Baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8; 2:4; 17, 18, 38, 39)
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
   
3. Divine Healing for the Sick (James 5:14-16)
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

4. The Second Coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:14-16; 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52)
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.
