Sermon Series
Encounters with Jesus
This summer we are going to open up our gospels and study 14 unique encounters everyday people had with Jesus. We will do this by taking a virtual tour of the beautiful stained glass in our church’s “Encounters with Jesus Prayer Room.” Installed in 2012, this series of stained glass images explores the stories of ordinary people who met Jesus. While watching over livestock, fetching water, fishing, sharing a meal, or traveling along a road, these ordinary activities became inexplicably extraordinary because of Jesus. How might we, ourselves, encounter Jesus this summer as we study his Word?
