Encounter Community Church

Think of ways that a small group of people banded together to change the condition of our world. Now imagine a small group driven by compassion, kindness, love, and patience committed to practically living it out in our community, neighborhood, schools, jobs, and around the world. This is the identity God has created in us and now is our chance to be His masterpiece to our world.

If Jesus came to give us life, then why do I feel like the walking dead? You can shake off the cobwebs of your old life and start out something completely new. Jesus Christ has truly se you free.

Change take time. But, in the meantime, what should you look for? This week, Daniel encourages us to begin to live out the identity that God has given us.

Why is change so stinkin' hard? Why can't we just make our resolutions and boom, it's done? This week, Ken hits on a key point to understand. True change happens when we know whose we are.

This week, Ken shares some highlights of what happened in 2018 and the vision for Encounter for 2019. This is the year that we go all in!!!

What are you expecting for 2019? This is the last year of the decade of the teens. How will you allow this year to set up what happens the next decade and more? God is looking to do a new thing in your life. As you consider your resolutions for the New Year, open the door for God to do His work in you.

Who doesn't love a comeback story? Take a moment to think about some of your favorite comebacks that you have witnessed. What if you knew beforehand that it was going to happen? What kind of confidence would you have? One reason to celebrate Christmas is because it is the fulfillment and forecasting of the ultimate comeback story.

When the Savior of the world was born, it was not accompanied by a ton of fanfare. He was born in a small, insignificant town. Bethlerhem's story is similar to many of us. It started out with so much promise and potential. However, that potential was lost due to the actions of others. How many of us identify? What was discarded and counted as obscure became a place where redemption was born? And if God can do that to Bethlehem, surely He can do it for us.

This week, Stan concludes the series by looking at the invitation given to us by God to join Him. God wants you to take a seat at His table. background does not matter. Perfect or not so perfect...all are invited!

This week, Stan continues to talk about this wonderful love that God has for us. Not only does God forgive us for our failures, He restores us in our relationship with Him. Stan looks at how God sees you and this perspective may surprise and release healing in your life.
