      <description>
        <![CDATA[Part 2 of our discussion of the baggage we all carry. In this podcast, we look learn that Jesus will give us rest from the weight of the baggage. At Encounter, we learn what our baggage is. We learn that Jesus already knows we have baggage. We placed our baggage at the foot of the cross and placed it in a garbage can in order to symbolically represent throwing aside our baggage and allowing ourselves to find rest in Jesus.

        <![CDATA[She stood before the crowd, exposed and ashamed. She had been caught in adultery. The law said she should die. What would Jesus say? "If you have no sin, you throw the first stone." Words of fogiveness; words of hope. "Go and leave your life of sin." Words offering an invitation to a new life. At Encounter, we discuss the situation this woman is placed in. We look at our own lives and realize we have stones that could be thrown at us, and we accept the words of Jesus.]]>

      <title>God's Reset Button</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[One of my favorite features of a video game is the reset button. When I make a mistake, I can push reset and start all over. Do you wish life had a reset button? Fail a test - push reset. Say something you regret - push reset. Make a decision you wish you did not make - push reset.

The  new year means a new start, but we know that just because the calendar reads January and the year has changed from 2007 to 2008, we do not forget what happened last month or last year. 

But the wonderful reality is that in Christ, we have a reset button. He gives us a new start; a new life. The old is gone and we are made new.

At Encounter, we discuss that new life. We dicuss God's reset button -Jesus.]]>

      <itunes:summary>One of my favorite features of a video game is the reset button. When I make a mistake, I can push reset and start all over. Do you wish life had a reset button? Fail a test - push reset. Say something you regret - push reset. Make a decision you wish you did not make - push reset.

The  new year means a new start, but we know that just because the calendar reads January and the year has changed from 2007 to 2008, we do not forget what happened last month or last year. 

But the wonderful reality is that in Christ, we have a reset button. He gives us a new start; a new life. The old is gone and we are made new.

At Encounter, we discuss that new life. We dicuss God's reset button -Jesus.</itunes:summary>
