Christine Caine – Your Daily Encouragement

Don’t Do Life Alone

everything’s awesome when you’re part of a team.

The Christian Life isn’t a one-person race. It’s a relay. You are not alone; you’re part of a team assembled by our unstoppable God to achieve his eternal purposes. —Christine Caine

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. —Hebrews 12:1–2

You weren’t meant to do life alone. You were created to be part of a team.

This is why Jesus gathered his team of disciples, and this is why we gather for worship each week. At CenterPoint we say that we believe in the capital C church—the church collected; the church congregated—because we can accomplish far more together than apart.

God is assembling a team in these last days. Don’t miss your opportunity to hand-off to the next generation.

Love you,
Pastor Bill

The Victory Is Already Won

let this truth-filled reminder flood your thoughts

“I love this truth-filled reminder that the victory is already won. We have more than conquered whatever this world throws at us, because we are God’s children. We have his kingdom in our hearts and he loves us dearly.” —Christine Caine

“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” —John 16:33

The battle was fought and the victory is already won. When Jesus rose from the dead, he proclaimed that it is finished—the victory is complete.

Death no longer holds ultimate control. Love wins. Life wins.

Let this reminder fill your mind and flood your thoughts, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. —1 John 4:4

Unshakeable God

He can be trusted

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. —Hebrews 10:23

“God is faithful. He’ll fulfill every promise he’s made.

There’s no disease God cannot heal, no heart he cannot mend, no bondage he cannot break, no enemy he cannot defeat, no mountain he cannot move, and no need he cannot meet.

And because that same Spirit lives inside each of us, we move forward undaunted; we are unstoppable; and we live unshakeable.

Focus on our unshakeable God instead of the chaos around you and he will carry you through the challenges and on to victory.”
