This is the video from the God’s Voice In The Vineyard Thursday December 25th. It is the introduction of the Encountering Jesus Series.
Encounter Jesus Series Overview
Have you ever felt like something was missing?
Maybe you’ve been to church your whole life but have never truly met Jesus in a personal way. Maybe you’re curious about what a real relationship with Him could look like. Or maybe you’ve encountered Him before, but you’re longing to go deeper and share that joy with others.
We live in a world full of noise and distractions, making it easy to lose sight of what truly matters. The Encounter Jesus Series offers a simple way to experience Jesus personally, whether you’re just beginning to seek Him or you’re ready to deepen your faith.
This isn’t about religion or routine—it’s about relationship.
Why This Series?
- Meeting Jesus in a Noisy World
In today’s fast-paced culture, connecting with Jesus can feel impossible. This series makes it simple: four short, approachable weekly sessions that fit into busy lives. In person or online. Alone or part of a group. Even those who are hesitant about faith can say, “I’ll give this a try.” - Walking Humbly as a Disciple
Encountering Jesus changes everything. But knowing how to live as His disciple can feel overwhelming. This series helps you take those first steps with clarity, purpose, and practical guidance rooted in the Holy Spirit. - Sharing Jesus with Others
If you’ve ever wanted to share your relationship with Jesus but didn’t know how, this series equips you to reach out authentically and walk alongside others. It’s about meeting people where they are and sharing the joy of knowing Jesus.
