Pastor Brian wraps up our Family Matters series with a message on Family Function. Sometimes things go wrong. Pastor Brian unpacks the story of Esau and Jacob and how they, unlike most divided families in the Bible, are eventually reconciled. What can we learn from this brotherly reconciliation? Can God restore our families? Do we really believe He can or not?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
Join us next week at the Dellwood Park Community Center at 10am as we begin our Advent series with a message on Hope.

Pastor Brian continues our series into God’s design for the family. As a part of that, we should not focus on the material, the world definition of success, or our own design for success. We should seek to live well in God’s design for our lives.

As we enter the Halloween season, we begin our new series Darkness and Light acknowledging the reality, power, and lack-there-of, of the real enemy. As Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (NLT)
This week we talk about the real enemy and the authority given the Believer by Jesus over him.
Join us next week for our next message focusing on the Light, and stick around for some fun with our Trunk or Treat. Connect with us at encounterthrive.com or on Facebook @encounterthrive.
