baby dedication for Tiger Ryan Knapp + message from Pastor Dan

Continued conversations about themes and key thoughts from "Irresistible", the book by Andy Stanley we are discussing during our Spring Small Group nights.

Pastor Justin shares about transformation, growth, and his journey in ministry thus far––leading into a huge announcement. *Not recorded were some uplifting remarks from a few people in the crowd about the future. 

"Encounter Sundays" happen once a month and we change things up a bit to make space for worship + testimonies + communion. One of the core values of AGAPE is to "encounter Jesus together and celebrate and believe in each other." We can't really do the latter if we don't know what is going on in each other's lives so, the "testimonies" time is an opportunity to connect by hearing different people share recent life updates, God moments, praise reports, or anything anyone wants our church community to be praying with or for them about. This recording starts right as people begin to share, is followed by Luke Creasman sharing part of his story so we could get to know him better, and ends with Pastor Justin leading a time of communion with all ages as one big church family. We believe you will be encouraged by what was shared. Enjoy! 

What does Jesus look like? What does He sound like? If He is alive (a main point our faith rests on), then we should know and experience the answer to those two questions. Is Jesus only found in a church building? Where is He? If He is so "irresistible" then why is so much of Christianity, so much of "church" so resistible?? Take a listen as Justin candidly shares about his own personal connection with God.. why it's so "real" for him.
