Close Encounters with Jesus

3/4/2023

 
​​The New Testament is full of stories of people who had dramatic encounters with Jesus.  Now, an encounter with Jesus was different from a meeting with him.  Encountering Jesus was not the kind of event where you would go home and tell your spouse, and/or family, "Hey, I ran into this interesting guy today named Jesus...what's for dinner?"  An encounter with Jesus involved being brought face-to-face with the choice between eternal life with God, or eternal separation apart from God.  Once they realized who this Jesus was, all of their hopes and fears, all the possibilities of Heaven and Hell, were bound up in their response to this life-altering encounter.

Over the next two months, we will spend time each Sunday, exploring the New Testament for individuals who didn't just meet Jesus, but encountered Jesus.  An encounter that provided unconditional love and acceptance, physical healing, hope, peace, purpose, joy, and most important...salvation!  Join us this Sunday at 9:30am and experience you own Encounter with Jesus!

This week our encounter with Jesus takes us to Mark 2:1-12, where a paraplegic comes face-to-face with his healer.  As we will discover from this encounter with Jesus, the deepest needs of our lives are not physical; they are spiritual and invisible.  This is true of everyone, which explains why Jesus gave priority to the man's heart before He addressed the hopeless condition of his body.  While we tend to invert these priorities, placing physical needs above the spiritual, God continually calls us to reorient our thinking to see things as He does.

Join us after the service at 11:00am for part 2 of the Calvary Parkside Membership Class. This class is designed for both current members and those new to our church.  During this class, we will unpack our vision and mission, what we believe, how we function, and what it means to be a member of Calvary Parkside.

Praying for each other is a great way to begin "Connecting with one another authentically".

See you Sunday.

Doug
