When was the last time you had a fresh encounter with God?

In this powerful sermon, “An Encounter With God,” Pastor Cliff Henderson explores how meeting with the presence of God can transform our lives, restore our souls and renew our spiritual passion.

Drawing from the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17, Acts 3:19, Moses at the burning bush, Elijah at Mount Horeb, Jacob wrestling with God and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Pastor Cliff explains why believers need more than memories of past blessings. We need fresh times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.

This message examines:

• What it means to encounter God

• How God’s presence brings spiritual renewal and transformation

• Why Christians can become spiritually dry, weary or lukewarm

• The importance of repentance and returning to your first love

• How to prepare your heart to meet with God

• Seeking God through prayer and the Word of God

• Being filled afresh with the Holy Spirit

• Restoring spiritual passion, zeal and purpose

• Moving from an encounter with God into faithful Christian service

God’s invitation remains open: “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” When we devote ourselves to God, prepare the altar of our hearts and earnestly seek His presence, He promises to meet with us.

Are you longing for spiritual awakening, a fresh touch from God or renewed passion in your Christian walk? May this sermon encourage you to seek the Lord wholeheartedly and experience times of refreshing in His presence.
