Encounter Church

It's amazing the 'DIRT' that satan wants to throw our way in trying to block the well (source) of our lives.There are many wells in our lives, but in this message we focus in on three-The well of Relationship (guarding it from the DIRT of OFFENSE!)The well of Vision (guarding it from the DIRT of DETAIL!)The well of Potential (guarding it from the DIRT of REGRET!) At all cost we must guard our 'Lives' (wells) from satan's schemes.

We have become the 'masters' of beginning something, but yet so seldom do we 'finish it!' It's so important that we continue along the process of change.In this teaching we discuss the 2 main reasons why we QUIT-We bite off more than we can chew.We have the wrong focus.God is not impressed by our promises......it's our actions He looks for.

Praise isn’t just an activity Christians perform at church on Sundays and Wednesdays; it’s a lifestyle. It’s not dependent on music, circumstances or feelings, but rather on relationship with Him. When we learn to lead a lifestyle of praise, it becomes a constant source of comfort and a powerful weapon that brings God’s presence into any situation. Lifting our hands during worship is Biblical, and a way of showing a full surrender to His plan and purpose for our lives.

It's time that we begin to see our lives grow.....therefore we must leave the 'trash' of our past and 'BUILD' an awesome future.There are 4 steps to be considerered when building-Must have a VISIONMust build according to THE plan.Must consider the COSTNeed the right TOOLS/ MATERIALS.It's totally amazing what your life has the potential to be.....if we'll just begin to 'BUILD IT' upon Him!

Salvation is more than a past-tense experience. Yes it had to begin with 'that DAY!' but what since?Salvation involves all 4 tenses (I know there are really 3, but I have added a 4th)Past tense.Present tense.On-going tense.Future tense.Are you living in the fulness of salvation.....or are you neglecting it's greatness?

Transformation is more than just making a change....it's literally our lives going through a 'metamorphesis.' As we go through that 'process' we reach a point of NO RETURN.God desires to so transform our lives that we will never be the same again. That process involves both a change in the way we act, and also in the way we think.....why not allow God to transform your LIFE!

When it comes to telling others about Christ, we so often feel we have nothing to offer. in this message you will discover that the 'practical' ways can still be the best!Invite someone to church.Share with them your story (testimony)Give your life away- (the Gospel in ACTION)Be bold with the Truth.It's often the little things that can have the greatest results.......as long as we are DOING THEM!

Have you ever made a wrong decision? We all have, and many are still living with the 'consequences.'It's so important that we make the right decisions in our lives, by having the right 'decision making PROCESS!' ......AND that we realize there are 2 types of decision-Decisions based on information- based on our senses.Decisions based on revelation- a God thing.It's so important that we make the right decisions!

How many opportunities pass us by everyday? How many times do we fail to tell others about the Gospel message?We have such a long list of reasons why not.....but rarely consider the main reason why we MUST!People are dying and going to hell, a place that God never intended for man to go too.....a place so horrific that it's beyond desription. We MUST warn them and make sure we do everything in our power to turn them away from a eternity in Hell.We MUST share the Gospel and Evangelize this world!

During this series we are going to look at 7 steps that will take our lives off the 'drawing board' and place them into action. A plan is not something that should be framed and admired on a wall....it is a set of instructions, drawing and measurement for the sole purpose of being BUILT.God has a PLAN for your life........but His plan is for PURPOSE (or action).The first step we need to take is 'Exposure.' Exposing our lives fully to God, and witnessing the life changing results. People who came in 'contact' with Jesus were never the same.......that too will be our testimony!
