Called: Pursuing Wise Counsel

In this message, Nat Ornelas shares from Scriptures and her personal experiences about how important wise counsel is in making good decisions.

We know many of you are in a season of making difficult choices and hope this is encouraging as you seek the Lord's guidance!

NDP SOUTH: SESSION ONE

Why pray? Nate Lacy shared a powerful message on prayer out of Ephesians 6, emphasizing how prayer is like spiritual breathing-- it's the very thing that sustains our life in God!

A huge thank you goes to all of the local business, youth groups, and Encounter Church team that support this gathering.

Called: Discerning God's Will

Have you ever experienced "decision fatigue"? Some times the sheer amount of choices that each of us are supposed to make is overwhelming. Many of us struggle to know how to make decisions about education, work, or a career and yet feel forced to have a fool proof plan. In this message, we look at Scriptures that reveal God's desire to guide this process and help us discern our calling.

Surrendered Tech: Achievement, Wisdom, or Rest?

Why do we use technology? Tim shares that we often look to tech to be a source of achievement, answer hard questions, or rest our minds. Ultimately, however, it takes us away from what could actually offer what we need.

Surrendered | Technology with Jordan Lapp

Jordan is a youth leader intern who has an amazing story of finding God and community after looking for those things in tech. He explored how Jesus invites us to follow him by denying ourselves and how that is connected to self-control. We hope you're encouraged to continue to surrender your tech to Jesus!
