Encounter Community Church

For some reason, we can get into a mess all by ourselves but we need others to help get us out. This week, we see how a father stepped in to show his son incredible love and stepped in when society would have rejected him. If you have ever thought that you are never good enough for God, then let us reintroduce you to a God who not only welcomes you but runs to you to show His love.

Regret can be debilitating. However, it can be the beginning of healing. The idea of starting over is seen throughout the Bible. Today, we look into the story of a son who started his journey back to healing when he came to face to face with regret.

Our universal longing for love, purpose, and meaning in life can only be fulfilled inside a relationship with God; regardless of where you are on your journey, you can find your way back to God and awaken to living a life that matters!

Today, we explore the two most powerful words spoken by Jesus. They may not be what you are thinking. However, it we do get and apply them, it could revolutionize the way that we exercise and live out our faith.

What's the secret to true change? How do we get past our old habits, struggles, mindsets, and challenges? Many times, we have tried harder only to see ourselves falling back into our old ways. What if the solution is not effort but identity?

What if Encounter became the largest church in the South Bay? What if Encounter was doing tremendous things all over our city and community? What if Encounter was stuffed to the gills with people coming to know Jesus and every seat being filled? What if all of those things and more were happening but we missed "the one thing?" Then, we would have totally missed the point. This week, we talk about "the one thing" and why it is vital that we get this both individually and collectively.

We all have things that compete for attention in our lives. This week, we look at why church should be first. We will see why God has chosen the church to make a difference in this world.

What is it that makes a church great? Simple. The actions match its beliefs. This week, we dig into the beliefs of Encounter to see how we can become the church that God has called us to do.

Today, we celebrate the historic anniversary of both Crenshaw and Impact, two churches who became one. We are kicking off a brand new series called, "I Love My Church." Let's create a church that is not just tolerated but celebrated. We will be a church that shows the love of Jesus.

Today, we wrap up our "Songs" series. What should our response be to having such a wonderful God? Since he went all in for us, maybe it's time we go all in for Him.
