Our Hands

Encounter Church — Sun, 17 May 2026 14:00:12 +0000

This Sunday’s message is called “Our Hands.”

Worship is more than singing songs or lifting praise. God also wants our hands. The way we serve, love, help, give, and care for others matters deeply to Him.

Why Do Bad Things Happen? Part 3

Encounter Church — Sun, 03 May 2026 14:00:48 +0000

Why do bad things happen? It’s a question as old as faith itself. In this series, we explore free will, the reality of sin and suffering, and the mystery of God’s will. While we may not always find clear answers, we discover this truth: suffering is not pointless, and even in the hardest moments, God is present, working, and drawing us toward something eternal.

ELIJAH – Part 3

Encounter Church — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Elijah’s story is not just about fire from heaven. It is about exhaustion, fear, doubt, and the quiet places where faith feels fragile.

This is an honest journey through burnout, courage, and restoration. We would love for you to join us.

Desires – Part 3

Encounter Church — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 15:00:22 +0000

Psalm 37:4 says, “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

As we grow closer to God, our desires begin to mirror His heart. In this series, we will look at people and stories throughout Scripture and see how even good things, when pursued too far or in the wrong way, can lead us off course and become something harmful.
