Encounter Church

In order to KNOW God in a more intemate way, there are some personal inhibitors we must break through (those voices we hear).One of the greatest 'inhibitors' is-Why Would God Love Me?- I know we have all asked that question many times.Listen as we discover that LOVE is not something God does......it's who He is! And because that's who He is......that makes you and I 'LOVED'. His BELOVED!

One of satan's most effective tactics is to isolate us......to make us 'believe' that we are in this alone. That the struggles we face are exclusive only to us.In this message we will learn that 'We're not in this alone,' we face the same struggles, think the same thoughts and battle in the same areas.So how's your thought life? How's your conversations? God says- 'Not a HINT........' Listen and learn.

Do we really KNOW God?94% of Americans say they believe in God or a universal higher power......but certainly 94% don't know God- Why? because belief and knowledge are 2 very different things.Our churches are full of believers, but very few who have an intemate knowledge of God.As you get to KNOW HIM better you will change. Your new level of intemacy will heal the past, forgive the unforgiveable and change the unchangeable. Get to know God...........you will never be the same!

Purity- amazingly enough is a subject that is very seldom taught today in our churches..... but it's a subject of utmost importance to God.There are 4 entrance ways- or 'windows' we must guard.our mindsour eyesour earsour mouths.It's time that we guard our total being, and live a protected life. It's time that once again we 'sanctify' ourselves.

Here's 2 thoughts- Do we really realize what we have? What would happen if we did?We stand afraid, so often, wondering how we can take our next step....when the enemy is terrifed of us taking that step? Something is wrong when our enemy views our God in a greater way than we do!It's time to have FAITH- to begin to see through God's Eyes.

Call her a harlot, call her a liar, call her whatever you will, but the Bible calls her worthy. Rahab’s faith not only changed her life and her family’s life, but it forever altered CHRIST'S royal genealogy. Remember there’s still a scarlet cord available to us today.

Life is hard! As strange as that may sound.....it's so true.All of us at sometime or another will face a 'storm' in our lives....but how do we stay 'afloat' during those times?In this meesage we discussed 5 key principles-Watch who you listen too.Live with vision. mission & purpose.Find stability in the storm.Trust God. Stay with the ship.Don't neglect the basics.No matter what 'storm' you are facing you need to realize there is LIFE on the other side. Remind yourself that.... 'I'm A Survivor!'

This is the 7th message in this series-How do we forgive someone who has wronged us?How do we move on beyond that hurt?These are just a few of the questions we answer in this message, as we discover forgiveness is 'OUR RESPONSABILITY.' Meaning, despite the response, it's requirred of us.To forgive means to give up the wish to punish- to release 'them' and let God take over the situation. Because of HIS forgiveness, we each have the ability to forgive.....it's just whether we chose to or not!

This is the 6th message in the series-Rejection is such a power tool satan uses against us. Listen as we discover how differently man sees us in comparison to how God sees us.Rejection doesnt have to control your life.......because you are excepted in HIM (Jesus).

This is the 5th message in the series-How many times have you said these words- "That's the story of my life," with out even realizing what we are speaking over yourself.The 'story of your life' will be the sum product of your life. We need to make sure that we are speaking God's story over our future.The power that's within you will determine what you will be filled with.It must be the power of God.
