In this episode, we dive into the second week of our series focused on creating an alternative to church as usual. Join us as we explore the importance of removing unnecessary barriers for those seeking a connection with God, especially for those who have felt like outsiders in their faith journey. We reflect on the story of Jesus and Matthew, a tax collector who was considered an outsider in his community. Discover how Jesus' invitation to follow Him was not just about belief, but about participation and investigation. We discuss the significance of creating a welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their past or current beliefs. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the mission of our church: to be a place where people can belong before they believe. We share practical steps on how we can all play a role in making our community a welcoming space for those who feel far from God. Don't miss this insightful discussion that challenges us to rethink our approach to faith and community. Key Takeaways: -The importance of removing barriers for those seeking faith. -Jesus' approach to outsiders and how we can emulate that. -Practical steps to create a welcoming environment in our church and community. Read along with our chosen scripture: Luke 15:11–32; Matthew 9:9–13; Luke 19:1–10 The Main Idea: The church is the body of Christ, so it should reflect the heart of Christ. As you follow the life of Jesus, it's impossible to miss that He was continually drawn to outsiders, and they were drawn to Him long before they fully understood who He was or what He taught. If sinners, skeptics, and those far from God aren't welcomed and drawn to our church the way tax collectors and sinners were drawn to Jesus, then we've missed something essential about what it means to represent Him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual. Our Sunday worship service is approximately a 75-minute experience designed to introduce people to the message of Jesus and equip believers to live their lives in response to the Gospel while their kids enjoy one of our safe children's environments. Centerpoint is designed to meet you wherever you are on the journey whether you are just checking out the "church thing" or you are a committed Christ follower. Centerpoint is a casual environment that combines today's music with creative media and relevant teaching.

Out power grid is getting a massive upgradeDak & Bop will be returning to the Museum District as a pop-up till October 31stFEEL GOOD FRIDAY: A special ed teacher celebrating wins, and a Cypress teacher celebrating homecoming weekend

Two ransomware crews are claiming the same Fortune 500 company at the same time. It's the second week in a row this has happened. If you still think your business is too small to be worth a hacker's time, this is the week that idea dies. *You're not facing one attacker anymore, you're facing a market of them.* Bryan Hornung, Randy Bryan, and Reginald Andre break down this week's stories for executives, owners, and operators who don't have time to follow cyber news but can't afford to be blindsided. First up: AECOM, a sixteen-billion-dollar engineering giant, is being claimed by two ransomware gangs in the same week. One lists 1.22 terabytes of stolen data. The other lists about 670 gigabytes. Same victim, side by side. More than 27,000 company email accounts are alleged to be floating around the dark web, and class-action lawyers filed before AECOM confirmed anything. For now, it all remains alleged. When a company this size gets picked over by two crews at once, budget and size aren't the shields many assumed they were. Then Randy takes CenterPoint Energy, the Houston utility serving about seven million customers across four states. A hacker walked off with 7.49 million customer records, including names, addresses, account numbers, and partial Social Security numbers. The wild part: there was no sophisticated break-in. The attacker simply counted upward through the ID numbers on CenterPoint's public website because nobody limited how many records it would return. Any business with a customer-facing app can have this exact hole. The lawsuits arrived before the company even disclosed the breach. Reginald closes with the number tying it all together. August 2026 was the worst month for ransomware ever recorded: 997 attacks, an all-time high averaging thirty-two a day. Business targets took the brunt, with law firms, tech companies, and finance firms rising fastest. Attacks on utilities doubled in a single month. Zoom out, and the picture gets worse: more than 7,500 victims over the past year, up nearly 25 percent, with over 60 brand-new gangs appearing. That's better than one a week. This flood of new crews is exactly why one victim now gets claimed by two of them. Here's the takeaway for owners: the boring basics still win. Turn on that second login code everywhere, quickly patch anything facing the internet, and keep backups you have actually tested. None of that requires a big budget. It stops the large majority of what we cover. • A Fortune 500 engineering firm gets claimed by two ransomware gangs in the same week • A utility leaks 7.5 million customer records through a wide-open public website • August 2026 becomes the worst month for ransomware ever recorded • Why you're now up against a whole market of attackers, not just one • The cheap, boring defenses that still stop most attacks • Why "we're too small to be a target" no longer holds up Security Squawk is a weekly podcast and live stream for business owners and executives.

In this message, Pastor Ann speaks about how the path we choose matters, and how Scripture calls us to follow God's good path rather than taking spiritual shortcuts. God uses His Church to help us mature in Christ, discover our purpose, and grow together as each person contributes their unique gifts. Centerpoint's discipleship pathway, worship, connect, serve, and influence, provides practical steps for following Jesus and participating in His mission. Ultimately, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and discipleship is the ongoing journey of following Him, being transformed by Him, and growing in commitment to His Church.

Join us for part two of our series, "How to See God," as Pastor Bradley dives deep into one of the biggest barriers to faith: the challenge of believing in something we cannot see. In this episode, we explore the significance of Jesus' actions and teachings, particularly during his final moments with his disciples. Discover how Jesus demonstrated love and service by washing the feet of his followers, and learn about the clarity he provided regarding the nature of God. We discuss the importance of seeing God through the actions of His followers and how we can embody the love and teachings of Jesus in our own lives. Pastor Bradley also addresses the struggles many face with the actions of those who claim to follow Christ, emphasizing that true discipleship is reflected in how we treat others. As we navigate the complexities of faith, we are reminded of the fruit that should be evident in our lives: love, joy, peace, kindness, and more. Whether you're a longtime believer, new to faith, or simply curious about spirituality, this message is for you. Tune in to find encouragement and clarity in your journey of faith! Main Idea: You can see God move through his people. Not perfectly. But when we live out the fruit of the spirit, we are an example of what God is like to an onlooking world. Seek to find a community striiving to live this out together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

Join us for this enlightening episode as we kick off a new series exploring the profound question: "How do we see God?" In a world filled with diverse beliefs and interpretations, we delve into the challenges of understanding a God we cannot see. Discover how Jesus provides clarity on God's nature through his actions and teachings, especially during his last supper with his disciples. We discuss the significance of Jesus washing his disciples' feet and the new command he gives to love one another as he has loved us. Throughout the episode, we address common misconceptions about how God views those who don't believe, his enemies, and our mistakes. By examining Jesus' interactions, we learn that God's love is unconditional and inclusive, inviting everyone to belong regardless of their beliefs or past. Whether you're questioning your faith or seeking a deeper understanding of God's character, this episode offers valuable insights and encourages you to look to Jesus as the ultimate revelation of God. Read along with our chosen scripture: John 14:8-8. His followers asked him to show them God. And Jesus answered, you've seen him because you've seen me. Its one of the reason Jesus came, to show us what God is like. To now God, study Jesus. If someone tells you what God is like, and it contradicts Jesus, then you know it's not God. Main Idea: Everyone has an idea of what God is like—but where do those ideas come from? Family? Culture? Personal experiences? What if we could stop guessing and actually see Him for who He is? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

Inspired by the story of Joseph from the Old Testament, we explore how true inspiration often comes from those who navigate adversity and prosperity with grace and integrity. Join us as we discuss: The importance of making thoughtful choices in the face of difficult circumstances. How our responses can either reflect our surroundings or demonstrate our character. The extraordinary life of Joseph, who, despite being betrayed and sold into slavery, maintained his faith and integrity. The challenge of trusting God when it feels like He is silent or absent.

In this thought-provoking episode of our podcast, Bradley Hamilton dives deep into the common belief that "God has a plan for your life." While this sentiment is often well-intentioned, Bradley challenges the notion of a strict blueprint for our lives, arguing that it can lead to unnecessary pressure, decision fatigue, and fear. Instead, he proposes a shift in perspective: rather than focusing on a predetermined plan, we should embrace the idea that "God has a purpose for your life." This purpose centers around loving God and loving others, which can be applied in any situation, job, or relationship. Bradley offers three insightful questions to help guide our decision-making process: 1. Does this decision help me become more like Jesus? 2. Does this demonstrate love for others? 3. What's the wise thing to do? Join us as we explore how to navigate life's choices with intention and clarity, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and meaningful relationships. Whether you're facing a big decision or simply seeking to deepen your faith, this episode is packed with wisdom and encouragement. The Main Idea: Hard seasons are not always signs of disobedience. God often uses valleys for growth and dependence. Many biblical heroes experienced fear, doubt, loneliness, and depression. Spiritual maturity is often developed through difficulty. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

In this thought-provoking episode of our series "Dumb Things That Smart Christians Believe," we tackle the common phrase, "Everything happens for a reason." While often said with good intentions, this statement can lead to misunderstandings and emotional turmoil for those facing difficult times. Join us as we explore the story of Job, a man who experienced unimaginable suffering despite living a righteous life. We'll discuss the assumptions that come with the belief that everything happens for a reason, and how these can impact our faith and mental well-being. Discover three key insights about suffering: 1. Suffering does not mean that you caused it. 2. Suffering does not mean that God caused it. 3. Suffering does not mean that you can't grieve. We also reflect on the importance of processing grief and the value of community support during tough times. As we navigate through the complexities of suffering, we find hope in the message of Jesus, who reminds us that suffering is not our final destination. Whether you're currently facing challenges or seeking to support others, this episode offers valuable perspectives on faith, suffering, and the human experience. The Main Idea: Not every event is directly caused by God. The world is broken because of sin. Human choices and evil actions have real consequences. God can bring good from suffering without causing the suffering itself. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

Join us as we explore the true meaning of forgiveness through the lens of Jesus' teachings. Bradley discusses how cultural norms around retaliation and justice can cloud our understanding of forgiveness, emphasizing that it is not about ignoring past hurts or blindly trusting those who have wronged us.

This powerful exploration challenges us to examine whether we've walked away from faith unnecessarily by rejecting distorted versions of God rather than God himself. We're invited to consider six common childhood versions of faith that many of us inherited: Safety Net God who promises bad things won't happen to good people, On-Demand God who always answers our prayers exactly as we want, Hype God whose presence depends on our emotional experiences, Guilt God who controls through fear and shame, Anti-Science God who pits faith against reason, and Gap God who only exists in what we can't explain. The message draws from Peter's instruction to always be prepared to give a reason for our hope with gentleness and respect, and Jesus's own words that in this world we will have trouble. We're reminded of John the Baptist's story, a man of extraordinary faith who still doubted in prison, showing us that even the greatest believers struggle when reality doesn't match their expectations. The central invitation is to reconsider whether the God we stopped believing in ever actually existed in the first place, and whether there's room to rediscover a more robust, intellectually honest faith that can withstand adult questions and real-world suffering. The Main Idea: The gods we abandon usually never existed to begin with. The Jesus we left was too fragile to be of much help anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the complexities of faith, doubt, and the challenges many face in their spiritual journeys. The host addresses a common critique of religion: why do we have to believe rather than just know? With insights drawn from the New Testament, particularly the invitation Jesus extended to Thomas, we explore the importance of investigating faith without fear of condemnation. As we navigate the current landscape where more Americans are identifying as religiously unaffiliated, the episode highlights the rise of the "nuns" and the reasons behind this shift. The host discusses the impact of the New Atheist Movement and the unsettling conclusions that arise from atheistic beliefs, emphasizing that leaving one belief system often leads to gravitating toward another. Whether you're a long-time follower of Jesus, someone who has lost faith, or simply curious about the conversation around belief and doubt, this episode invites you to reflect on your own journey. Join us as we challenge misconceptions, explore the foundations of faith, and prepare to give an answer for the hope we have. The Main Idea: For some: Who needs religion? More Americans than ever are backing away from religion. Consequently, God. Not because atheism is all that attractive. Religion is less so. “It's the problem.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

Centerpoint is designed to meet you wherever you are on the journey whether you are just checking out the "church thing" or you are a committed Christ follower. Centerpoint is a casual environment that combines today's music with creative media and relevant teaching. We hope you will visit us at Centerpoint Church regardless of what your past church experience has looked like.

Eric Lee is an alleged predator that was caught in a Blount County, Alabama investigation.  At the time of the sting, Lee had been living in or around Centerpoint, Alabama with his mother. He worked as a mechanic at a car dealership.  Lee had been communicating with a decoy posing as the aunt to a fifteen-year-old girl. He asked the decoy for a picture of her face or body. The aunt told Lee that her niece's age was fifteen, to which Lee stated, "That's cool. Fifteen's my fantasy." The decoy asked Lee if he would have sex with the girl, with Lee replying, "Yeah, I'm gonna fuck her good. I've got some good dick." He also asked if he could "eat some ass." He offered to bring marijuana to the house to give to the minor girl. Lee agreed to the proposition of having sex with the minor girl for $200. Lee arrived to the sting house and was greeted by the two decoys at the door. After they exited, Lee said to himself, "Oh, I forgot the condoms in the car." Chris then emerged to confront him.
