Only when you see God as Father then does the Christian life makes sense. This is the only motivation that will allow you to endure; why be a part of a local congregation, why serve, why commit to spiritual disciplines?It has to be because this
On our journey through the life of Jesus, we are arriving at the story of the visit of the Magi. If you grew up attending a church that is more liturgical you probably know that there is a specific day when the church celebrates this, January 6
We are in a series looking at all the aspects we can of the life of Jesus. And before we get to Jesus’ ministry, there’s a couple of stories that take place between Jesus’ birth and the beginning of his ministry.In this sermon, we take a look a
If you missed the online service yesterday, you can watch the sermon here. Pastor Joel spoke on Luke 1:76-79 and discussed how the birth of Jesus has already made a difference in the world for the better, and thus, in our lives.

The word messiah means "anointed one". In Hebrew culture 2 types of leaders: priests and kids. Last week we talked about how Jesus was a different type of king, this week, we dive deeper into how he is a different type of priest.
If you hear the word Jesus, what’s the next word that comes to your mind? Probably either the word cross or the word Christ. In some pop culture references, people use Christ like it’s Jesus’ last name, but it’s actually not. Christ is actually
"This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David…" - Matthew 1:1. "... the son of David..." = One of Jesus’ most famous titles
We don’t know what to make of the Bible, so we either read some passages and are horrified and walk away from the book, or we use it to abuse and hurt and oppress others, or we try to use it as a fortune cookie...But Jesus says the whole point
One of the key truths about Jesus is that He is God. He is part of the community of self-giving self-sacrificial love, what we call the Trinity, and as God, he has always been present and active in the World, even if we don’t notice it.
Who is Jesus to you? A friend, an acquaintance, a far off God, a Savior? All of the above? Have you at one point or another thought of him as each one of those things and even more? What if we told you that at some level, you are right? He is s
All hallows eve...⠀⠀All hallows day or all saints day...⠀⠀Historically this is the day the church remembers the saints and martyrs; it’s a day where we think and talk about death as well as those who’ve gone before us. These last couple of year
Have you asked yourself that question as we’ve been going through our Renaissance series? What would the future look like, for the Church, for Encounter, for yourself even if we were open to change? If we were open to confronting the hurt, the

The Writing on the WallGuest Speaker, Austin Hedge, from our sister church, The Foundry Church in Baltimore speaks on Daniel Chapter 5 and the mysterious "writing on the wall."
