Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins a new series, “Unwavering,” as we continue our study through the book of Colossians.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the penultimate message in our study through 1 John. Even a very surface level study of the Christian faith reveals that prayer is significant.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series, “Abide,” as we read through the book of 1 John. Faith, like anything good, is hard work.
