Encounter One

Jacob Wrestled With God

October 1, 2017 • Tim Simmons

In week one of Encounter Pastor Tim takes a look at the story in Genesis where Jacob wrestled with God. Sometimes, before we can win we have to wrestle.

Encounter Five

October 29, 2017 • Patrick Conrad

In the final week of our series, Encounter, Pastor Patrick looks at Mary's encounter with Jesus, where she washed his feet with her hair with utter abandon in a moment of true worship.

Encounter Four

October 22, 2017 • Patrick Conrad

In week four of Encounter, Pastor Patrick looks at how Abraham encountered God through a test. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his promised son, the son through which God had promised to bless Abraham, and through which He would make him the father of a multitude of nations. Although God never intended for Abraham to fully carry out the command, it was necessary to prove Abraham's reliability. Like Abraham, our faith is not really tested until God asks us to consider what seems unbearable, to do what seems unreasonable, and to expect what seems impossible.

Encounter Three

October 15, 2017 • Patrick Conrad

In the third week of Encounter, Pastor Patrick takes a deeper look at who the Holy Spirit is and how we surrender our will to his will and allow him to lead us to become more like Jesus.
