If we are seeking to follow Christ, we are on the same team. Whether we prefer traditional or contemporary worship styles. It does not matter if we prefer to dress up or if we are a jeans and T-shirt type of person - in Christ we are one. We celebrate that unity.

Part 2 of our discussion of the baggage we all carry. In this podcast, we look learn that Jesus will give us rest from the weight of the baggage. At Encounter, we learn what our baggage is. We learn that Jesus already knows we have baggage. We placed our baggage at the foot of the cross and placed it in a garbage can in order to symbolically represent throwing aside our baggage and allowing ourselves to find rest in Jesus.

Baggage: we all have it. It often weighs us down and keeps us from being who God truly intends for us to be. At Encounter, we seek to create an environment where it is safe to admit that we have baggage. Listen in as we learn that we all have baggage and that we can give it over to the baggage handler, Jesus.

She stood before the crowd, exposed and ashamed. She had been caught in adultery. The law said she should die. What would Jesus say? "If you have no sin, you throw the first stone." Words of fogiveness; words of hope. "Go and leave your life of sin." Words offering an invitation to a new life. At Encounter, we discuss the situation this woman is placed in. We look at our own lives and realize we have stones that could be thrown at us, and we accept the words of Jesus.
