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.

Indecision
Read Acts 21:17 through 26:32
Felix had been the Roman governor for six years when Paul was sent to Rome to stand trial. Tertullus made a strong case against Paul, yet Paul was able to refute his arguments point by point.
Felix apparently wasn’t as sure of himself as Paul and chose not to make a decision based on the evidence presented: “When Lysias the commander comes . . . I will decide your case” (Acts 24:22). However, his curiosity was aroused. He would send for Paul from time to time, when it was convenient, to learn more about Jesus, yet he failed to make a decision either about Paul’s case or Jesus.
Do you know people who indecisively shirk responsibility like Felix? Presented with clear facts, whether secular or sacred, they won’t make decisions. Their indecision and excuses are frustrating. We may not be able to make their decisions for them, but we can faithfully uphold the truth.
How about you? Are you indecisive like Felix, leaving decisions to others, or are you like Paul, who firmly stood for truth?
Thought for Today: God is honored when we stand for truth and make timely, responsible decisions.
Quicklook:Acts 24:22–27

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.
