Pastor Ron Eckberg begins a special 2-week mini-series on the life of Caleb. Sadly, life can beat us up. It can give us the wrinkles and battle scars that leave us grumpy and bitter. Yet, some come through those same fights with a smile on their face and a light in their eyes. They live with grace, purpose, and passion. …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our current series, “New Horizon,” as we discuss faith that lasts. Last week, we talked about the weight of every choice we make. But even when we choose the Spirit over the flesh, the battle isn’t over. Often our faithfulness requires that we endure trials and testing. How do we persist in our faith in the …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg discusses Genesis 14:1-16 in the next week of our series, “New Horizon.” We make thousands of choices each day. We consider some decisions to be major while others are thought of as relatively minor. But what if we realized that EVERY choice made a lasting impact on our lives? Genesis 14:1-16 shows how the decisions of Lot …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next sermon in our series, “New Horizon,” as we study the life of Abraham in Genesis 13:1-18. Conflict is unavoidable. The question for us, in regards to conflict, is not about whether or not we will encounter it. The question is: How do we respond faithfully and productively when conflict arises? Through Abram’s encounter with …
Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our study on the life of Abram in our series, “New Horizon.” One of the great things about the Bible is that God does not sugarcoat the actions and character of even the greatest of the men and women within its pages. Abraham is a case in point. While being one of the great models of …

We wish we had that kind of clarity and focus. But the truth is, by faith in Jesus Christ, we are …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg opens our new year with a special message, “Joyfully Enduring Together.” New Year’s resolutions offer a great way to challenge ourselves to improve. But why do most fail? They fail because change is hard and when things get hard it’s difficult to stick with them. Hebrews 12 shows us how God supplies us with the endurance to …
Pastor Ron Eckberg shares a special message as we close out 2019 together. In “The Story of Us” we see how no matter our circumstances and no matter our qualifications (or lack thereof), God’s grace and power are poised to work in and through us in the coming year. Our story is still yet to be finished!
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our 2019 Advent series, “Greater Gifts,” by discussing how Jesus’ birth brings the gift of peace. Peace is a grand ideal. Yet, when it comes to actually finding or having peace, it seems that it’s more of a wishful thought than an attainable goal. This week we see how Jesus brings peace not to some degree, …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues to teach through our Advent 2019 series, “Greater Gifts,” on the best gifts of Christmas. As great as the Christmas season can be, most of us know that it can also be gut-wrenching, lonely, exhausting, and filled with every emotion under the sun. This week we’ll discuss how the JOY we know in the birth of …
