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.

Theme: I Believe in Sanctification

True Purpose

Read Hebrews 12:12–17

Maybe a recent funeral reminded you of the brevity of life. Maybe it was a sermon, a Scripture reading, a news report, a movie, or a conversation with a friend. Whatever the reason, sometimes death comes to mind—a subject normally ignored.

The funeral of a friend motivated Johnny to realize how brief life can be. Johnny decided not to let those thoughts bring him down. He chose to move toward making choices he had needed to make for a long time.

This verse became his guide:

Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

Before his time on earth would run out, Johnny made the decision to make the most of his days. He decided to pursue a life of relational peace and Christlike behavior. He could face the future of uncertainties and news reports and even death, knowing that he lived a life with his true purpose as the priority. He would live for God.

Thought for Today: Living with God’s purpose keeps us from traveling in life’s dangerous directions.

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.
