Common Questions Regarding Faith
Faith is a deeply personal and often complex aspect of human existence. It's a topic that has ignited countless discussions, debates, and journeys throughout history. Whether you're a steadfast believer, a curious seeker, or someone who simply wonders about the role of faith in our lives, you're in the right place.
What the Bible says about finding hope
Hope can be a confusing term in today's world. If you're looking for real hope, here is what the Bible teaches us about it.
How to reject apathy
We naturally gravitate away from what is uncomfortable. It takes an effort to engage in new ways. But Jesus did not take the easy way out and neither should we.
Is Centerpoint non-denominational & what does that mean?
Centerpoint Church is tearing down every unnecessary barrier. Nothing should stand in the way of hearing about Jesus. We see denominations as one of those barriers. Over time denominations can put up hoops to jump through on how to become a part of the community. Rules develop that are less scripture based and hold more of a “how to get into the country club” vibe.
Why joy is the hard choice
Joy happens in spite of suffering. It is an act of resistance against despair and a display of trust in God. See, joy is about connecting with something beyond ourselves. Like love, it points the focus away from selfish desires.
God doesn't care about your comfort, and neither should you
What happens when we feel the Holy Spirit prodding us to go somewhere we’ve never been? Do something we’ve never done?
Here's the thing. When we learn to sit in discomfort, we start to change. We start to see God working. God can do some extraordinary things if we would just step out of our comfort zones.
Finding Jesus in the midst of fear and uncertainty
As Christians comfort should be about making the hurting comfortable, not ourselves. Often when we are placed in situations that make us uncomfortable, we can be known to throw scripture or sayings we think are scripture, but aren't, at others.
An open letter to the church about suicide by someone who contemplated it
We often say, “Suicide is the most selfish thing a person can do.” But we aren’t giving people a choice about their behavior. We foster stigmas and clauses and cultures where people have to act one way on the outside while they are screaming for help on the inside.
Is someone else’s mental illness my problem?
Those with mental illness are in a war and they need an army on their side. The church needs to open its eyes to the reality of this war and they need to stand by the people who are hurting from it.
Do you question your faith? If not, you should try it
Did you know God wants you to love Him with your mind? It’s true. We emphasize loving God with our hearts and with passion (which are great and have their place), but we downplay the mental part of loving God.
