I believe in the Father

Encounter Henley Welcomes Lead Pastor: Tim LittlefordIn a culture that senses a transcendent reality but struggles to define it, Lead Pastor Tim Littleford kicks off a new sermon series, Essentials, exploring the ancient, foundational truths of the Apostles' Creed.Starting with the declaration, "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth," Tim addresses a fundamental human question: If God exists, what is He actually like? Drawing from a candid bedtime conversation with his daughter, insights from philosopher Francis Schaeffer, and the wisdom of Dallas Willard, this message dives into why our ideas about God shape every corner of our lives. Discover how an infinite, relational, and triune God reveals Himself—not as an abstract cosmic force, but personally through the character, grace, and love of Jesus Christ.Key Highlights & Takeaways:The Problem of Existence: Why searching internally for life's ultimate purpose falls short, and why true meaning must come from the One who designed us.Understanding the Triune God: How the Trinity demonstrates that God is inherently relational and the ultimate source of complete, reciprocated love.At the Mercy of Our Ideas: How our foundational views of God—whether we assume He is distant, disappointed, or deeply loving—directly shape our identity, dignity, and worldview.God Revealed in Jesus: Exploring Hebrews 1 to see how God moved beyond silence to show His exact character through the mercy, justice, and sacrifice of Jesus.Scripture References: Hebrews 1:1–3, Romans 1:19–20Connect with Encounter Church Henley:Website: encounteradelaide.com.auInstagram: @encounterhenley
