encounter with God 9When We Encounter God: We Will Respond From Deep Within – Each Encounter Inspired An Immediate Change

Ok, maybe we had a bit too much fun today, and no, I didn’t have 5 espressos …. only one great cup of coffee this morning.  I just can’t help but SEE hope and even humour behind so many stories revealed to us in these sacred writings we have been given.  THIRTEEN encounters with the ‘real’ Jesus that inspired immediate change and authentic changes from deep within.  How have you responded…. How are you responding to the Jesus who lives in you?  I pray and hope we have not chosen to live from a bland historical picture of Jesus vs the living life indwelling us, speaking to us, wanting to shine out of us.  I hope today’s message inspires and encourages you!!

Sharing The Good News: Keeping it Simple! PT 8

mikezenker

encounter with God 8Sharing The Good News:  Keeping it Simple!  PT 8

Sharing the LIFE and LOVE of Christ should be simple. It is funny how ‘the church’ has complicated what it means to talk about Jesus, turning it into a ‘sales pitch’ vs sharing about a ‘person’ who has forever impacted them. Today you will hear a short and simple message of Grace and Love shared to a crowd of 300+ folks during a baptism service. Let’s keep it simple, let Love be the signature of everything we, say, do, and communicate. Enjoy!  **The translation is in FARSI**

Re-Thinking: The Woman At The Well, “A Better Perspective”

mikezenker

woman wellRe-Thinking: The Woman At The Well, “A Better Perspective”

  • Removing the shame & stigma;
  • Revealing the Grace that was always there.

The Samaritan woman at the well (John 4: 1-42)

  • She’s theologically astute, politically aware, clearly respected in her community, and feisty.
  • Traditional Christian interpretation, however, has turned her into a lazy, slutty sinner, an outcast in her community

WHAT IF: Her Story has been misunderstood, mis-shared, mis-represented

WHAT IF: Your story has been misunderstood, mis-shared, mis-represented, or YOU have mis-interpreted your OWN story…

Listen in and discover that there is HOPE, LOVE, & GRACE for you in this story

ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD Pt 6: Meeting the REAL Jesus transforms you

mikezenker

encounter with God 6ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD Pt 6: Meeting the REAL Jesus transforms you:

What do these encounters look like? What ‘should’ they look like? How does God view humanity? How did He react to key characters in the Bible, and how did they respond back to Him. How can we encounter a God we can trust? This message is about seeing the goodness in who God really is. Too many in our culture have a terrible picture of who they think God is and then they say they don’t believe in ‘that’ god. It is time to correct those poorly informed perspectives and show God for who He ‘really is’….LOVE. If we say we know God, then we need to look like Him, and God looks like …LOVE. Encountering God is supposed to be GOOD NEWS, not scary.

TODAY: We will be looking at three different individuals and observe how each of them responded when they literally meet Jesus.  Something in them causes to react to the gift of grace Jesus extends to each one of them.   The religious world they thought was accurate and that tradition has told them not to mess with, is suddenly thrown into chaos when they encounter the one who can actually give life.  Religion cannot do that.  Hopefully you can question the path of faith you have been put on and find out if it needs a course correction, or a completely new path.  Enjoy!!

Encountering God is supposed to be GOOD NEWS, not scary.

TODAY: We take a look at how David reacted, responded to God during some very trying and difficult times.  We also touch on the topic of the use of icons and gestures that can help us remind our mind of the oneness we have with Christ.  (or help us recognized the presence of Christ at any given moment)…. The Western Evangelical church has lost some helpful tools by misjudging other faiths and religions.  I hope you enjoy this one….. so much more to come!

You may have heard God loves you, but did you know He LIKES you too.  The message the ‘typical’ church sends to the world is that God is really ticked and his anger is building…well….that God doesn’t even EXIST!! And we wonder why people feel condemned by the message ‘the church’ seems to send.

BY DESIGN – CREATED WITH PURPOSE & MEANING

mikezenker

By DesignBY DESIGN – CREATED WITH PURPOSE & MEANING: You are going to laugh!  I promise!  The joke is on me, check out how a silly mistake of redirection inspired this meaningful message.  Every creation has a designer, which gives purpose and meaning to the creation. It also means the creation was designed to function or work a certain way based on the parameters built into the design of the creation. This world is filled with people searching for meaning and purpose….running to things that are harmful instead of helpful. My hope today is that you will find hope, help and meaning for your life. Either to confirm deep internal truths you already know, or become aware of a blue print that has been in you all along! Enjoy!

You may have heard God loves you, but did you know He LIKES you too.  The message the ‘typical’ church sends to the world is that God is really ticked and his anger is building…well….that God doesn’t even EXIST!! And we wonder why people feel condemned by the message ‘the church’ seems to send.
