Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our 2020 Advent series, “The Thrill of Hope.” Over the next four weeks we will take time to remember and reflect on the thrilling hope that accompanies the birth of our Savior. This week we want to acknowledge the weariness that comes with life in this world and recognize the only hope for our weary hearts.
Pastor Ron Eckberg brings a special Thanksgiving message. Distractions are everywhere pulling our attention, time, and energy away from the more important priorities of our life. Certainly that is true of our relationship with Jesus. Satan will use anything to get us to take our eyes off Him. Join us this week as we survey Paul’s letter to the Philippians …
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches a special mini-series, “Home for the Holidays,” to lead us into the holiday season. No one can argue that the past nine months have shaken our world in the same way an earthquake would shake the ground below our feet. When the ground is shaking, however, we need something stable to hang on to. This week …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg preaches the final message in our 11-week study through the book of 1 Thessalonians, “Hold the Line.” Many hear the word “submission” and immediately think of it as a negative. And yet, Scripture’s repeated call for the believer to live in submission is a source of blessing. This concept, which is reviled by our culture, is actually …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg preaches the next message in our series, “Hold the Line,” as we study together through the book of 1 Thessalonians. Sometimes in life we are so overwhelmed by events that we cannot figure out how to deal with it. In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, Paul takes a massive event – the return of Jesus Christ – and teaches …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series, “Hold the Line,” as we study the book of 1 Thessalonians. One of the few certainties in life is death. That sounds a bit morbid, but it’s true! So how does our pursuit of the holiness of God and the love of Christ change the way we deal with the mortality of our lives …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next sermon in our series, “Hold the Line”. Last week we talked about our call to conform to God’s character. This Sunday we begin to unpack what that means for how we live. The first point Paul makes to the Thessalonians is that if we are to live in holiness, we must be known for …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series from 1 Thessalonians, “Hold the Line.” We know that the Christian’s life is supposed to be different from the rest of the world. But what does that mean? In 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8, Paul transitions from encouraging the church’s past to pushing them forward by reminding us all of our call to live lives that …
Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our study, “Hold the Line,” by teaching from 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13. Caring hurts. Investing your heart and soul in another can be a difficult and painful burden. No one understood that better than the Apostle Paul. Join us this week as we examine Paul’s love and burden for his brothers and sisters in Christ.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series, “Hold the Line,” by teaching from 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5. We’ve heard Paul describe the blessing of the believers’ place in God’s family (2:13-16). In this week’s passage he goes on to share how this benefits the church as they face persecution. From this, we too see how we are strengthened and encouraged by engaging …
