Bethel Church Service | Encounter Night | Worship with David Funk, Haley Kennedy, Tobi Adeyeye

Main message: This was an encounter night exhortation inviting people to make space to meet the Holy Spirit, receive a fresh filling of joy, peace and hope, and trade shame and burdens for healing, renewal and deeper intimacy with Jesus.

Key points:

• Prepare for an encounter: pause, expect God to meet you where you are and to refresh, renew, and strengthen you.
• Romans 15:13 promise — God fills us with joy and peace by the Spirit so we overflow with hope; imagine God filling your "cup" and pushing out worries, pain, and fear.
• Lay your "crowns" (honor, shame, accusations, burdens) at Jesus' feet for a divine exchange—shame replaced with restoration, joy, and a double portion.
• There is "more" in Christ beyond what you've tasted; be willing to dive into the river of life for deeper healing, freedom, and intimacy.
• Purity and seeing God are linked (the pure in heart see the Lord); pursue a focused, wholehearted devotion to Jesus.
• Expect practical outcomes: emotional and physical healing, renewed joy, peace, breakthroughs, and transformed atmospheres.

Scriptures mentioned: Psalm 16, Romans 15:13, Philippians 2, Revelation
