🚨NEW SERIES ALERT🚨

Hey EncouterYouth!

Excited about Thursday, which is tomorrow btw! These long weekends are crazy and can totally mess up the week, but I am PUMPED to dive into 1 Peter. Peter was a follower of Jesus, apart of the inner circle and was the rock in which Jesus built the church... meaning this book is filled with wisdom and truth from an insiders perspective.

See you Thursday @ 7:00! Make sure to DM me if you need our ZOOM link.

WHAT IS UP ENCOUNTERYOUTH!   As many of you know

WHAT IS UP ENCOUNTERYOUTH!  
As many of you know, EASTER is on its way.

Which means these next few weeks we will be focusing on the story of Jesus’ life, and what caused Him to go to the cross in the first place. His life was lived in opposition to the political powers, but He did things in a way that was so transformative, and so different, so focused on loving and sacrifice, that the only way to get rid of Him was to kill Him. Little did His enemies know, killing Him was the plan all along, and was going to SHAKE up the entire world. His death on a cross paid for our sins, and when Jesus rose again, ascended into heaven, and entrusted his disciples to take His message to the ends of the earth, it truly changed everything.

Join us Thursday on ZOOM for our first lesson in this awesome series!

DM FOR LINK!

Hey folks!

This Thursday, we are diving into the BOOK OF REVELATION! If you didn’t already know, this letter is filled with some incredible truths about what will take place before Jesus returns, and it is PACKED with some off the charts imagery about good, evil and the beginning of the New Creation, ushered in by Jesus. Let me tell you I am FIRED up to do this with you guys..

Don’t forget, we also play some games, connect and continue our ENCOUNTERYOUTH tradition, albeit over zoom, so make sure to be there!

PS, you should jump into the book of Revelation yourself to try and get a little glimpse of what’s going on, and we will see you Thursday @ 7:00!

Hey folks! Make sure to check out this video conti

Hey folks! Make sure to check out this video continuing our sessions on GROWING DEEPER - In this video we are talking about your identity. Remember, this is so important for us to get right! Our culture wants our identity to be tied up in many other things, but Jesus just wants our identity to be found in HIM! So, how do we do that better? Take a listen and find out! Link in bio!!!

THURSDAY 7:00 - ZOOM! I AM THAT I AM; This is Go

THURSDAY 7:00 - ZOOM!

I AM THAT I AM; This is God’s introduction to Moses that… GOD is.

Jesus, 2000 years later, echoes the essence of these statements by repeating them and applying them in new ways in the Gospel of John. By doing so, Jesus claims to be God… THINK ABOUT THAT!

These statements help us grow deeper in our understanding of who Jesus is, and challenge the cultures view on things such as salvation - The growing idea in the cultural landscape is that ALL roads lead to heaven… but Jesus doesn’t think so. This leads us to one conclusion… Jesus was crazy, or he was telling the truth! What do you think? Join us at 7:00 for that and a whole lot more!

Oh, and by the way, we are going to be connecting with one another and having some good ol’ laughs too ….. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT - Need the link? DM ME!

PS…Go and read them…. ALL OF THEM! They are as follows - John 6:35, 8:12, 10:9, 10:11,14, 11:25, 14:6, 15:1,5.

See you Thursday!

THURSDAY YOUTH - ZOOM

SEEK FIRST

GUYS, 2021 is here! 2020 was difficult, but as I reflect on the year, I recognize this one thing; We had God, each other, and we GREW in our faith.

Speaking of which, where have you decided to grow in your faith? Remember, that was our goal this year! Now, as we look to 2021, we have a number of things in mind. Where God was in 2020, where we want to continue to grow in 2021, and specifically, for this Thursday, we are going to be talking about SEEKING GOD’S KINGDOM FIRST! If we get this right, 2021 is bound to be good!

We are going to connect together, have fun, and learn from God’s word!

Also, read ahead in Matthew 6:33 because that is our scripture for this week!

See you Thursday! 7:00pm!

HI GUYS! Check out this new YT video. In it, we discuss our new nature, which comes from Christ’s death and resurrection on the cross, and the battle that comes from killing the old self when it comes back to haunt us!

In life, we will constantly be reminded of our old selves, especially because the devil wants to keep us in a place of condemnation for the wrong things we have done. So, our job as christians is to call those old things DEAD and believe we are new creations in Jesus! In this video, we discuss just how to do it! Link is in bio!
