Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study through Leviticus by discussing our pursuit of rest. We all need rest. Most of us could use a lot more of it than we actually get. But rest is about more than just sitting down or sleeping in. In Leviticus 25 God tells us about how He orders life to give His people rest. …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series, “The Pursuit” by teaching from Leviticus 24. Throughout Leviticus, we are reminded that God is holy, perfect, and sovereign. Most of us know this as a fact, but it can be difficult to see how that changes the decisions and actions of our daily lives. Leviticus 24 gives us several guidelines to help us …
Pastor Ron Eckberg brings a special Father’s Day message, “The Leader of the Band.” Author Blaine Lee writes; “The great leaders are like the best conductors – they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.” The same could be said about great fathers. Fatherhood is a challenging, heart-rending, joyful, frustrating, complicated task. It is, however, one …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues in our final study in Leviticus called, “The Pursuit.” Everybody loves a party. We take great joy in gathering together to celebrate life’s momentous occasions. But these are (usually) events we choose to celebrate. How do we respond when we are commanded to celebrate. In Leviticus 23, God commands His children to celebrate. This week we …
Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our examination of God’s call to holiness through Leviticus 21-22. Oswald Chambers writes; “Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.” In Leviticus, we have seen just how important the holiness of His people is to God and this week we see the high standard of holiness God expects his priests to observe.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series through the book of Leviticus. Last week, Leviticus 17-18 showed us how we need to recognize the worth-ship of our holy God. But how does that translate into the rest of our lives? Leviticus 19-20 reveals to us the foundations that allow us to passionately pursue God’s holiness in our lives as we are …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our final series in the Book of Leviticus by teaching from Leviticus 17-18. In Leviticus 1-16 we have seen a very clear picture of God’s perfect, holy nature. But how go about pursuing a life lived in light of God’s holiness? The rest of Leviticus gives us that answer and it begins in chapters 17 and …
Pastor Ron Eckberg brings a special message from Exodus 1:15-2:10. This week we celebrate the mothers in our lives. Mother’s Day is a time to reflect with gratitude on all the women (mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, friends, etc.) who give of themselves for the love and care of others. In the action surrounding Moses’ birth, we see the characteristics of …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our conversation on how the resurrection is about more than Easter morning. Last week we discussed how our faith changes every aspect of how we live our lives in this world. But that’s only a sliver of time in relation to eternity. So what does our belief in the resurrected Savior affect our eternity? We find …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg follows up on our Easter Sunday gathering. Last week, we celebrated the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. But how does this incredible, victorious display of His sovereign authority change our everyday lives? In John 15:1-8 we discuss how our resurrected life in Jesus changes how we daily engage in the world around us.
