Mark was a man who had a complicated history with the Apostle Paul, but God used him mightily to share the Gospel and even to write one!

Pastors Shane and Scott talk about the encounters series. Discussing Sarah, Jairus, John, Paul, and Bartamaeus.

Sarah, the wife of Abraham, was far from perfect. Yet, God who is faithful, kept the promise He made to her. We can encounter His faithfulness still today!

The life of Paul shows us that suffering and struggle are inevitable consequences of following Christ.

While these processes are not easy, they align us with the heart of Jesus!

We see in the family of Mary, Martha and Lazarus a variety of personalities and preferences. Our families are similar! Pastor Kristian talks about the importance of Jesus' presence in our lives regardless of our temperaments and opinions.

Jesus is gracious when we are desperate. The faith of Jairus was rewarded with his daughter's healing but a God with perfect timing.

We are spending some time looking at real lives…real people…who had real face to face “encounters” with Jesus!

One moment…in the presence of Jesus…one “encounter” with Jesus changes everything!

This week - Bartimaeus, a blind man that could see!

There have been great words spoken throughout history that have inspired people to action and greatness. Greater than all of them combined, the Bible accounts three words that changed everything…He is RISEN!
