People are messy. We are difficult and challenging. And it’s because of that no church is perfect. But there must be some reason Jesus desires for us to be unified and be one. Today we’ll explore how and why it’s important to encounter God through other people. May your wounds be healed, and your heart be opened to how God wants to use others to lead you to him.   Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 18:19-20. Today's worship is Valor by Christy Nockles.   . -- Thanks so much for listening today’s podcast, the last in our week long focus on encountering God.    I hope and pray that this week on encountering God has opened up new paths to experiencing God, or maybe just made existing paths a little bit clearer for you.    Next week we begin a new series looking at God’s desire to meet with man. Where this week focused on paths from us to God, next week we’ll open our hearts to see how God comes to us. I think it’ll be a really motivational and deepening experience for you.    Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
