Encounter Church

As we conclude our 'I Love Summer' series we look at the importance of knowing our 'place' when it comes to the Gospel being shared to this world...it's not only of those who are pastors and leaders...who have a platform to speak from- BUT it is for all of us to realize we are called to 'be a minister.'

In this message we look at the 3 Baptisms in our spiritual journey -In to Christ (Salvation) -In Water (Water baptism) -in the Holy Spirit. Breaking each of them down showing the separate experience they are for us a believers.

In this message we will define the word -Charis discovering the 'grace gift' it is to each of our lives....and how the Holy Spirit wants us to live within our Grace Gift.

This is the second message in our current series on the Holy Spirit...as we look to present the True Story. In this message we will discover the meaning of Pentecost both past and present- and see how it fits into our daily lives.

As we begin this new Series we look at the nature of the Holy Spirit....and how that presents to us the importance of having the Holy Spirit in our lives.

When we look around us it is so easy to become so frustrated and maybe even discussed by what we see happening...where instead we need to see our place and position- to BE the change our world needs to see. To realize that your life can make a big difference!

In this message we challenge our dads to become a 'lion Chaser.' There are God given opportunities that we face daily that we must step up and seize.

In this message we discover the importance of living in a 'sweet' place of forgiveness.

Baptismal service.

Is Good always God? We think it is, convince ourselves it is....but that's NOT always the case. Good is not always God, and neither is something that's NOT bad automatically good. In this message we discover the importance of living with 'Godly Wisdom'- teaching us the WAY to live everyday!

Once again we look at how to turn those 'moments' in life into stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks- Guilt and Shame can become a major set back in our lives...where god desires to use them as a major 'step up!'

The Bible NEVER promises us that the Christian life will be easy...in fact it calls it a 'difficult path.'- yet we are promises companionship for the journey. In this message we will look at 6 questions giving the answers needed to make it through life.

In this message Molly talks about her personal struggle with Anxiety and how God helped her to over come.

In this message we discuss the 'story' of Hannah and how the example from her life can help to make us the SHE God intends us to be. None of us are perfect parents....but we need to make sure we are allowing god to change us as we follow the principles from his Word.

As we begin a new series we are going to look at the BIG LIFE God has in store for your future. It's been over played I know...but its still the absolute TRUTH- The Best Is Yet To Come! Yet we are living a mere existence. In this series we will discover how every trial, pain, inconvenience can become a stepping stone into our future and not a stumbling block.

In this message we discuss the VISION of Encounter church. Life.Love.Purpose.

Its so wonderful to know that The God of ALL creation chooses to be in our suffering with us....and not in defeat, but as our WAY of escape.

In life we have strategies for winning- but prepare very little for the struggles... In this message we discover how God will compensate us for our suffering either here on earth or one day in Heaven. Our responsibility through the process is- 1- Submit 2- Have Stay power (stay faithful) 3- Serve.

We want for God to take us out of our pain and remove our suffering...yet through those times God desires to- -Draw us closer to Him -Use them to mature us. -Make us more fruitful. -To be a witness to others. -To bring about His good purpose. You really need to hear this message!

In This Message we begin to discover why God allows suffering in our life. There isn't a simple and complete answer....but through His LOVE we can KNOW that He plans on 'working' it all together for good (Romans 8:28). Suffering wasn't a part of His original creation- but we will see how He can still use it in our lives.
