Welcome to this weekend’s Sunday Online at Encounter Vineyard. We are so pleased that you’ve joined us and we hope that you enjoy being part of our online worshipping community. If you have been enjoying a half-term break, we hope and pray that you have had a refreshing and lovely time.

We are wrapping up our series ‘Here and Now’ today where we have been focussing on Hebrews 12 and the theme of what it means to ‘run our race.’ Today Mark brings a message called ‘Combating the Monster’’ as he looks at how self-criticism and our criticism of others can become a way of dealing with pain, but when we replace our criticism with curiosity for what God thinks about us, it opens our eyes to see who God has made us to be.

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today as we look forward to the adventure that awaits us and all that the Lord has in store for us!
