Encounter(ing) God // Spirit
In the final section of Encounter(ing) God, we look at the Holy Spirit. As with the other two sections – Father and Son – it is our prayer and belief that each one of us would have an increased encounter with the Person, the power, and the work of the Holy Spirit. It’s time for the Church to get reacquainted with the Person and work of the Holy Spirit, to encounter Him, to be transformed by Him, and to see others transformed through our witness.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 12
Pastor Steve Berger | September 29, 2019
In the final part of Encounter(ing) God // Spirit, Pastor Steve speaks on The Shepherding Gifts – Leadership, Pastor/Teacher, Apostolic, and Administrations. As this concludes our nine month Encounter(ing) God series, we pray that the Holy Spirit has revealed things to you that have changed your life and those who Jesus puts in your path forever.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 11
Pastor Steve Berger | September 22, 2019
In Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 11, Pastor Steve covers the category of spiritual gifts known as the Spiritual Strengthening Gifts: Mercy, Healings, Exhortation, and Prophecy.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 10
Pastor Steve Berger | September 15, 2019
In Part 10, Pastor Steve covers gifts of Spiritual Insight, which include the gifts of Discerning of Spirits, Word of Wisdom, and Word of Knowledge. The advantage these gifts can bring into a situation is 1) discerning an evil spirit’s operation in a given situation, 2) receiving a word of wisdom to solve a problem, and 3) receiving a word of knowledge to expose the enemy’s plans and to reveal things in people’s lives to build up their faith in God.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 9
Pastor Rob Rogers | September 8, 2019
We are continuing our detailed look into the different spiritual gifts in scripture and Part 9 is Salvation gifts: Evangelism, Faith, and Miracles. Our prayer is that you’ll discover, develop, and deploy your gifts so that through you others might enter into the Salvation that only Jesus can bring.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 8
Pastor Steve Berger | September 1, 2019
We are now at the part in our Spirit series where we specifically talk about different spiritual gifts mentioned in scripture. While we only talk about five of the gifts in Part 8 (the Serving gifts), Pastor Steve categorizes all of the gifts mentioned in the Bible into categories: Serving, Salvation, Spiritual Insight, Strengthening, and Shepherding. Again, in Part 8, we address Serving, which include Artistry/Craftsmanship, Giving, Ministry, Helps, and Hospitality.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 7
Pastor Rob Rogers | August 25, 2019
In Part 7 of Encounter(ing) God // Spirit, Pastor Rob provides a high-level introduction to the gifts of the Holy Spirit and talks about the purpose of the gifts, the power of the gifts, and the priority of the gifts. One of the best ways for people to discover their own gift here at Grace Chapel is to be a part of our STEPS classes, which you can sign up for at gracechapel.net/steps.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 6
Pastor Steve Berger | August 18, 2019
In an often-not-talked about subject in pulpits across America, Pastor Steve speaks on the Holy Spirit’s role to convict the world of judgment. There are one of two judgments awaiting every single person who has ever been born and it’s your choice. The Bema seat of Christ is for Believers and while not for salvation, it is for the generous distribution of rewards for work done for the Kingdom here on earth. The Great White Throne Judgment is for unbelievers and to reveal their works of evil. The good news is that the Holy Spirit tells us these things ahead of time and you can make a decision now!
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 5
Pastor Steve Berger | August 11, 2019
In Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 5, Pastor Steve speaks on obeying the Spirit’s Voice. When you hear the Spirit speak, you have three options: 1) Quench, 2) Grieve, or 3) Obey. When you choose to obey the Spirit’s Voice, you can expect Devilish opposition, God’s confirmation, and Kingdom expansion.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 4
Pastor Steve Berger | August 4, 2019
In Part 4, Pastor Steve teaches on hearing the Spirit’s voice. He is always speaking, but the issue is, do we have an ear to hear Him? We dive into the sources of hearing, the sounds of hearing, the setting for hearing, and the safety when hearing.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 3
Pastor Rob Rogers | July 28, 2019
In Part 3, Pastor Rob speaks on the mission of the Holy Spirit as outlined by Jesus in John 16:7-15. The mission of the Spirit is to convict the world, guide people into all Truth, and reveal Jesus. The Holy Spirit comes into our lives, transforms us, and sends us out empowered to be and do all that God has created us to be and do!
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit – Part 2
Pastor Steve Berger | July 21, 2019
In Part 2 of Encounter(ing) God // Spirit, Pastor Steve continues through the book of Acts making observations and applications that will help us all to encounter the Holy Spirit in a deeper way. The big takeaway is that the Holy Spirit and resulting boldness became the early church’s priority and more than ever before, the modern day Church needs the power and boldness that can only come from the Holy Spirit.
Encounter(ing) God // Spirit - Part 1
Pastor Steve Berger | July 14, 2019
In the first message of the Spirit section of Encounter(ing) God, Pastor Steve lays an important and doctrinal foundation of the Person of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit shares all of the same characteristics and is equal in every way to the Father and the Son. He must be known and encountered with the same understanding, passion, and dependence. It’s time for the Church to get reacquainted with the Person and work of the Holy Spirit, to encounter Him, to be transformed by Him, and to see others transformed through our witness.
