David Reneau
Written By Encounter Church

About This Message

Speaker: David Reneau

Summary:
‍What does it truly mean to follow Jesus? In this message, we kick off our new series, Disciple, by looking at the story of the Philippian jailer in Acts 16. We explore why casual church attendance isn't enough to build deep faith, and how we can be intentional about helping people encounter God, build community, discover purpose, and live out on mission.

In this message, we discuss:

  • Why casual church attendance doesn't lead to deep discipleship.

  • How the story of the Philippian jailer models intentional evangelism.

  • Practical ways to help others encounter God through prayer and invitation.

Scripture References:

  • Acts 16:26–34

  • Philippians 2:12

  • Acts 2:41

  • Matthew 28:19

Fear is a universal human experience. Whether it's the fear of failure, the dark, public speaking, or even flying, fear often freezes us in place and keeps us from doing what God has called us to do.
