     | 18,148 views

    This is the test. God is saying, “We’ve walked together for many years and now you have the son you’ve longed for. Tell me, Abraham; is this son more important to you than your relationship with me?”

    Encountering God – Part 11 – Encountering Jehovah Jireh Overview and review We have been looking at what it means and what it is like to encounter God and how we respond to Him when we encounter Him.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,043 views

    We have a strange story, that many of us have heard before, of a man in ancient Mesopotamia, the town of Haran, who hears from God one day. We don’t get any details about how God spoke to him, only that God told him to do something. His encounter with

    Encountering God Part 9 – Meeting God Review of previous weeks We have looked at how and why we encounter God in worship and the importance of making that our priority when we gather together for corporate worship. Our top priority must be “to encounter God.” If you meet Him here then you will ...read more

    Awe In Worship Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Nov 13, 2007
     | 6,206 views

    We don’t reverence God as we ought, when He is safely tucked inside the boxes of our understanding, our theology, our control, or in the box of our familiarity. What happens when He gets out of our box?

    Encountering God – Part 8 – Awe in Worship Review Last week we talked about why God’s glory or presence doesn’t show up in worship or in a gathering of His people. Some folks would notice if He wasn’t there, others would see no difference. I talked a bit about three reasons why God’s glory ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 14,094 views

    What is missing from our worship? Do we know it is missing? Why is it missing? How do we get it back?

    Encountering God – Part 7 – What’s Missing from Worship? Introductory story: Paul Harvey tells a story about an attractive airline stewardess who was being hounded by two flirts – one at the front of the plane, the other at the back. She was obviously very put-off by the very forward advances ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 25,104 views

    What makes our worship worthless and meaningless? How can our worship become a genuine encounter with God?

    Encountering God – Part 6 - Worthless Worship Review What is worship? Encountering/responding to God’s heart toward us. Why worship? B/c we were created for this purpose. What do we need? A relationship with God through Jesus Christ. He acted on our behalf when we were still His enemies. ...read more

    Heavenly Worship Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,156 views

    Our worship on earth is often a man-made construct of songs, actions and words. It ought to more closely resemble the worship that is occurring in heaven!

    Encountering God – Part 5 – “Heavenly Worship” Review: I have been preaching about worship for the past few weeks. Last week, If you weren’t here, you missed an opportunity to connect with God in a powerful way. There are many reasons people come to church, (see friends, hear music, hear a ...read more

    The Power Of Praise Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 24,571 views

    Praise is making much of what God has done, and isn’t always done with the heart. But worship is about who God is, and cannot be done without the heart.

    Encountering God – Part IV: “The Power of Praise” Review What is worship? It is the meeting of God’s heart and ours. Worship is the response of all we are to who God is and what He has done. Last week I spoke about the “glory” of God, which is intrusion of God’s presence into our physical ...read more

    In The Silence Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,256 views

    One way we can improve our worship experience corporately, is to meet with God more fully and intimately each day of the week. The fullest encounter of God is found not just in His presence, but encountering His glory.

    Encountering God – Part 3: “In the Silence” Quote from Children’s Letters to God. "Dear God, Is Pastor Bill a friend of yours, or do you just know him through business? Donny" Why did we do testimonies? Testimonies are for praise. Praise is about what God has done. Worship is about who God ...read more

    Pressing Into His Presence Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 17 ratings
     | 29,645 views

    Worship is not merely a response to God, but it is also the pursuit of God. God pursues us, and yet for some odd reason, He seems to be just beyond our grasp when we seek Him. The pressing into His Presence is the choice of our will to worship Him.

    Encountering God - Part 2 – Pressing Into His Presence Overview Last week, I laid a foundation for what I believe to be the biblical nature of worship, starting with the fact that God has created mankind to worship Him. That worship arises from a relationship with Him. The bible says in the ...read more

    Hungering For God Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 11,473 views

    Why is worship supposed to be an encounter with God and not just going through the motions? How can you better encounter God each time you gather corporately as a church? The answer is in your appetite!

    ENCOUNTERING GOD – Part One - Hunger Listen to this story, “I had my first experience with the presence of God when I was 5 years old. Arriving home from my ½ day of kindergarten, I usually ate lunch with my mom and then hurried off to play. When I would run out of things to do, I would resort ...read more

    Trust - An Introduction Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 26, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,058 views

    Trust is a theme that runs throughout the bible. It runs from cover to cover.

    a. As I watched the headlines last week of a school being destroyed by a tornado, and numerous communities having been flattened, church building wrecked and countless homes ruined, the Lord took me to a place in my heart that said, “what would you say to your church if that was your community?” ...read more

    Trusting Reason Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 26, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,268 views

    You cannot always trust what you think. Your mind is fallible. Faith is required for what reason cannot attain.

    a. In our first week on this subject, we did an overview about trust and we learned that trust is developed through a loving relationship with the one we are learning to believe in. b. We learned that the “trustworthiness” of the one we must believe in is vital, and that even if we have all the ...read more

    Don't Trust Your Eyes Series

     | 17,739 views

    You cannot always trust what you see, because our eyes were not designed to see everything there is. The spiritual world holds much we cannot see.

    Don’t Trust Your eyes. Joke: a. A woman walks in a store to return a pair of eyeglasses that she had purchased for her husband a week before. "What seems to be the problem, madam?" "I’m returning these glasses I bought for my husband. He’s still not seeing things my way." b. Never lie to an ...read more
