CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: DRAWING NEAR TO GOD

Series Runs 9/13/26 - 10/25/26

What happens when finite human life collides with the raw, holy presence of the Almighty? Beginning September 13th, our seven-week series, Close Encounters: Drawing Near to God, explores how real, unfiltered meetings with God fundamentally transform who we are. Rather than offering abstract theology, this journey walks through the lives of biblical figures who met the divine in their most vulnerable moments. From Isaiah’s overwhelming vision of God's holiness to Jacob’s all-night wrestling match for identity, these stories reveal that drawing near to God doesn't require a polished life—it simply requires an open heart.

Throughout the series, we will discover that God actively meets us in the mid-flight chaos of our real lives, no matter how heavy or messy our circumstances might be. Whether you are navigating Paul’s nagging discouragement, Elijah’s quiet despair, Sarah’s hidden doubts, Job’s intense suffering, or Joshua’s need for clear direction, an encounter with God shifts our focus, heals our vision, and reveals who He truly is. To help you unpack these profound moments, each weekly teaching pairs with an intentional multi-day devotional reading plan designed to help you process these encounters and draw near to Him in your daily routine.
