Encounters: Challenging Our Narrative
Thank you for joining us as we continue to dig into our MOVE series.
To dig deeper,
read Acts 10:1-48
This week Ps Aaron brought a powerful word on Encounters. The last piece in our series on ‘Love on the Move’. Our key statement in this series states that “love moves as divine mercy intersects with the opportunity of human need, bringing redemptive victory through encounters with Jesus and His Kingdom”.
In this powerful message, we explore the transformative power of encounters with God through the story of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10. We're reminded that Christianity at its core is not just about doctrines, but about life-changing encounters with the living Christ. These encounters challenge our narratives, expand our understanding of God's love, and push us beyond our comfort zones. The message emphasises that God's love knows no boundaries, and we're called to be vessels of that limitless love. We're encouraged to cultivate a life of ongoing encounters through hunger for God, obedience, curiosity, and surrender. This isn't about seeking momentary spiritual highs, but about allowing each encounter to reshape our hearts and lives for God's kingdom purposes.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1. How might our personal limitations on God's love be restricting the encounters He wants to have with us and through us?
2. How can we develop a greater sense of curiosity in our faith journey, and why is this important for growth?
3. How can we as a church community support and encourage one another in cultivating lives of ongoing encounter with God?
4. How can we better steward the encounters we have with God, ensuring they shape our daily lives like Blaise Pascal's experience?"
Thanks again for joining us. We pray you were blessed.
