Encounter Church

The age long debate.......is this Jesus for real? Is He who He says He is?During this message we will look at prophesy fullfilled as a result of the crucifiction......but also ask another important question- 'Who is He to you?'The answer to that question MUST be know by all, as one day, when we stand before God we will be asked exactly that. True revelation of who He is can only come by 'Divine Revelation'.......that means that God wiis still revealing Himself to mankind.He is still in the life changing business.......and can change any life that's given to HIM. He can prove who He is- through your life being totally changed!

The Easter Story is the GREATEST story that has ever been told! But it's also a story that continues.....with us now paying our part!because of the Easter Story we all have a story of redemption and hope, His story, has now become our story!

It's amazing how restricted we can become in the way we live, see and think. It's time that we discover how living a wide-open life will totally change the way we live, see and think!Don't become narrow minded and live SMALL- Live the spacious wide-open life God has for you!

Matthew 7 talks about a Broad & Narrow way (v13-14)......but unfortunately many see the narrow way as being limited and restricting?"Don't let the principles of a narrow path confuse you into living a narrow life!'It's time to live life wide-open life with no boundaries and restricitons.......it's time to life life GOD"S WAY!It's so easy to respond to 'life' in an narrow way, where instead we need to make the decision to be BIGGER!

Unfortunately we all deal with them in various shapes, sizes and ways..........but we must learn to 'isolate' them. That means to refuse to allow them to make the decisons for and to control our lives.It's important to fully know who you are in GOD!

Our salvation experience is more than JUST PRAYING A PRAYER.....it's a transformation that will change us from the inside OUT!In this message we discuss the 'Doctrine or Repentance'- which means the steps (teachings) of repentance. After Salvation these 7 things should be evident in our lives (II Cor.7:11)What diligence it produced in youWhat clearing of yourselves.What indignationWhat fearWhat vehement desireWhat zealWhat vindication!Repentance is not only saying sorry and a 'turning,' it also involves a new way of living. Listen and discover the importance of the 'Doctrine or Repentance.'

Do you ever feel like you can't take no more......that there is nothing left in your TANK......well, we MUST live life with the Faith to keep holding on!In II Corinthians 11 Paul addresses the fact how he is 'concerned for their faithfulness'- which is still a viable concern I have today. We see so many quitting and giving up in the face of adversity.Are we going to allow our MOMENT to determine our future? Or the God who holds the world in His hands?Hold on.........don't let go!

The 'Gift of Faith' is not moved by the oppostion against it......it doesn't stop at a giant, but grabs a hold of the BIG PICTURE!The devil wants to steal your faith for your future. He's good at calling your bluff, at intimidating you.........but no matter what- We must have faith!

Listen as we cover 4 of the mosr F.A Q's (frequently asked questions) On the Holy Spirit-Why tongues?What does It do for me?Do all speak in tongues?Why haven't I received?

There are some things that can be substituded and replaced.........but there are other things that are VITAL.During this Study we discover from creation, through-out the OT, in the Life of Christ, the Early church and now our lives, there is a VITAL ingredient we cannot afford to live without- The HOLY SPIRIT.To make Him an option or to substitude Him is to effect the nature of the outcome......which is pretty important (I'm sure you will agree)- when that is your LIFE!
