Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our series on gratitude. Over the past two weeks we’ve been reminded of the gratitude that should pour out of us when we consider the salvation of Jesus Christ and the renewal of the Holy Spirit. But as we think on these things we also remember that, in Christ, we are adopted into the family of …
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches the second week in our 3-week series on gratitude. Last week we built a foundation for gratitude. It develops when we never forget the beauty of our salvation. This week we’ll see how the grateful heart that rejoices in the salvation of Jesus continues to live in celebration and with great joy because of God’s restoration …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg kicks off our new sermon series that leads us through the Thanksgiving season. We live in one of the most prosperous times and cultures in human history.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg dives back into our study of the book of Matthew. Doubt is a common experience in the Christian faith. But in our moments of doubt, how do we remain steadfast in our adoption into God’s family? Matthew 12:38-50 shows us three ways to build a foundation of trust in Jesus’ power, authority, and grace.
Associate Pastor Ron Eckberg brings a special message to EEFC on Sunday, October 6th. It is far too easy to turn a blind eye to catastrophe—especially if it doesn’t directly affect us—but in doing so we miss out on something very special. But Matthew 9 shows us the blessings of giving our hearts to the opportunities God puts before us.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues to lead us through our study of the Gospel of Matthew 11-13. Jesus is Lord of all. He revealed His authority in Matthew 12:1-14. But what does this mean to us?

Jon Brands (EEFC Elder) shares a special message with us on the call to servanthood. Scripture is abundantly clear that part of our calling as followers of Jesus is to serve others.
