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.

Whose Glory?

Read Acts 11:1 through 13:52

Cliff was a wonderful speaker and Bible teacher, but he was proud. He permitted people to praise him instead of directing their praise to God. His wife, Sarah, was concerned because of what Scripture teaches. She held him up in prayer.

They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died (Acts 12:22,23).

As the apostles did miracles, always they directed people’s praise to God.

The Jewish historian Josephus said Herod dressed himself in shining silver clothes to appear as a heavenly being. In A.D.44 Herod accepted the title of divinity and praise belonging only to God, and God killed him. Herod suffered five days of terrible pain before he died. Here we see a great truth taught throughout the Bible, trusting in God leads to life, but pride and love of self leads to death.

Thought for Today: All praise belongs to God. Any good trait or talent we have is because of His mercy to us and our praise is due to Him for it.

Quicklook: Acts 12:17–25

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.
