Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the second week in our study through the book of 2 Timothy. Last week we discussed the fuel God has given each of us to keep the fire of our faith burning hot. But even with that fuel, we have work to do to keep the fire burning. What does it take to keep the fanning that …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins a new series on the book of 2 Timothy called, “Keep the Fire Burning”. It is an easy thing, over time, to lose a bit of our passion for even the most important things. Once that fire begins to “settle down” can it be rekindled to a blazing flame? Of course! Paul shows us how God gives …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the second week of our Back-to-School series, “The Final Bell,” in which we discuss the biblical significance of embracing death. Last week we discussed the need to embrace the reality of death in order to allow Jesus’ victory to sharpen our focus, clarify our purpose, and deepen our joy even in the loss and pain of physical death. …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg kicks off the first week of our Back-to-School series, “The Final Bell,” in a discussion about death. We know death is important (we talk about Jesus’ death). We know death is inevitable (we talk about how every person dies and faces judgment). But, still, we often keep it at an arms-length. We prefer not to deal with …
Pastor Jonathan concludes our series, “Behind the Shield,” by looking at the end of the story of Esau’s family, Edom, in the Old Testament book of Obadiah.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series, “Behind the Shield.” Everyone wants to live a life worthy of being remembered. But what is our standard for what we deem worthy of remembrance? Genesis 36 offers us a comparison between two lives and two legacies. This comparison gives us two godly guidelines for how we can leave a faith-filled legacy.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us through the next message in our series on the life of Jacob. This week we find Jacob’s part of God’s plan to bless the world coming to a close. This conclusion is not full of the grand excitement one might expect. Jacob is faithful and God takes care of him, but we are reminded here that our …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg jumps back into our study of Genesis in our series, “Behind the Shield.” Sometimes the responsibilities, concerns, or even joys of everyday life can steal our focus and leave us in a “rut”. This isn’t necessarily wrong, until it steals our attention from what God has called us to do. In these times we must reset our …
Pastor Ron Eckberg delivers a special Memorial Day message at EEFC. Memorial Day should be a somber day of remembering those who paid the ultimate price defending freedoms we enjoy. For Christians, however, there is a greater “Memorial Day” called “Every Day” – for every day, hour, and minute should be a reminder of the price Christ paid for our …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study of the life of Jacob in our series, “Behind the Shield.” Genesis 34 is a dark chapter in our study of Jacob’s life. It is full of lust, deception, and murder. Not exactly an uplifting example of godly living! However, through this darkness God shows us three important guides to help us live gracious …
