What Defines Me - Encounter Livestream - 07/30/2023
Who am I? This seems to be a question that we are always trying to figure out. It is easy to define ourselves by our job, our relationships, our status, etc. But, who are we if those things are lost? Can we build our identity off of something that will last when everything has been lost or taken away?

All About You - Encounter Livestream - 07/09/2023
Why do so many people walk away from the faith? Could one reason be that we define God's love by what He does for us rather than His being with us? If we focus on the healing rather than the healer, the blessing rather than the blesser, or the miracle rather than the miracle worker, do we lose our faith? The question that we have to wrestle with is simply, "Is Jesus truly enough?"
