Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the final message of our study through 1 John. Over the past few months we’ve heard John assure the believers of their faith and encourage them to stay the course.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the penultimate message in our study through 1 John. Even a very surface level study of the Christian faith reveals that prayer is significant. As we grow in our faith we are constantly learning how prayer is integrated into every aspect of our faith. In 1 John 5:13-17, the Apostle John tells us how righteous, Kingdom-minded …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our teaching from 1 John 5 in our series, “A Different Kind of Love.” John has argued the depth of God’s love for us and the importance of sharing that love with one another. But how, with so much information and so many activities before us in our lives, can we trust that God’s love is …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us back into our study through 1 John and our series, “A Different Kind of Love”.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins a new series called, “A Different Kind of Love,” as we continue our study through the book of 1 John. Love is one of the most abused words in the English language. It is also crucial to our understanding of the Christian faith and life. How, then, should we properly understand and live in light of …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our series, “Abide,” by looking at 1 John 3:1-10. Some decisions are difficult, others – like what socks we wear or what spoon we choose to eat with – are so ridiculously easy and so obvious that we barely even think about them. Over the past three weeks John has described what it means to abide …
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches the next message in our series, “Abide.” In John 10:10 Jesus tells us that he came that we might “have life and have it abundantly.” What a wonderful promise!

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series, “Abide,” as we read through the book of 1 John. Faith, like anything good, is hard work.
