With two weeks left in our Face to Face series, which of Jesus' face to face encounters has struck you most? This Sunday, we eavesdrop on Jesus' encounter with the woman caught in adultery - and the Pharisees - in John 8:1-11.

When Jesus encountered Zaccheus (Luke 19:1-10), an ordinary sycamore tree became a divine appointment. Jesus saw past Zaccheus' labels and past his sin, and called him by name. This Sunday, Gary (8:55 and 11:00) and Carlos (9:05 and Hudson) brings us into the story as we continue in our Face to Face series.

When the woman at the well came face to face with Jesus, her life was completely changed - and she hadn't even been seeking Him. Anyone anywhere can meet Jesus and have a relationship with Him - that's good news, isn't it?! This Sunday, Gary, Carlos, and Scott teach from John 4:1-42, and we see more clearly the beautiful, life-changing power of a face to face encounter with Jesus.

In our summer series Face to Face, we're taking a look at ordinary people who had divine encounters when they came face-to-face with Jesus. As we eavesdrop on these encounters, we hope that in coming face to face with Jesus, we will in turn treat every face we face with the love and compassion of Jesus. Gary continues our series this Sunday in all gatherings as we look at Mary Magdalene's encounter with Jesus' grace.

Our view of God is the most important thing about us. It shapes how we feel about God and the values and priorities we have in interacting with others. The best way to get to know God is by looking at the One He sent—Jesus. In coming face to face with Jesus, we will in turn treat every face we face with the love and compassion of Jesus, knowing that every person is loved by God, bears God’s image, and would be accepted by God if they repented and received God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus.

You won’t want to miss any of the messages in our summer series Face to Face, as we take a look at everyday encounters of ordinary people who had divine encounters when they came face-to-face with Jesus. Gary kicks it off in all four gatherings this Sunday!

This Sunday is Father's Day, and Gary and Danny share a special message for dads about becoming who God made us to be.
