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 …
Greater Faith
Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our 2019 Advent series, “Greater Gifts,” by teaching on the gift of faith. Our celebration of Christmas centers on the manger and the birth of a baby.

Binding Our Brokenness – Galatians 3:15-29
Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our study through the book of Galatians, “The Real Thing.” The appendix is an odd part of the human anatomy. While it may have once had a purpose, it is now useless to the human body. Similarly, over the past few weeks, we’ve seen how the law is left useless in light of God’s grace. In …
A Curse and a Blessing (Part 2) – Galatians 3:10-14
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next session of our series through the book of Galatians, “The Real Thing.” Rarely do people say, “They’re such a great person!

A Curse and a Blessing (Part 1) – Galatians 3:1-9
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our current series through the book of Galatians in 3:1-9. In the Christian life, we are often distracted by what we think we need to do.

In Enemy Territory
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches the first part of a two-week mini-series entitled, “In Enemy Territory”. In these two weeks we will discuss how to live out the Christian life in a day, age, and culture where we are no longer the majority and where our faith puts us on the outside the norm.

Full Faith in a Faithful God – Genesis 9:1-17
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our series, “If I Had a Boat,” by teaching through Genesis 9:1-17. Like Noah, we all face floods in our lives. These events leave us wondering how we can move forward when our world feels utterly decimated. But by trusting in God’s faithfulness we find the ability to move forward in who He has called us …
Faith in a Fallen World – Genesis 5:1-6:8
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our series, “Fractured,” by walking us through Genesis 5:1-6:8. It can often feel that as we pursue Christ we are running the complete opposite direction of the world outside our front door. That’s because we are! In Genesis 5:1-6:8 we will see the continued spread of the disease of sin and how, by the examples of …
Hope for the Rich and the Poor – Mark 12:35-44
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg walks us through Mark 12:35-44. Ever find yourself going through the motions? Like you’re doing what needs to be done but find no joy, no fulfillment, no purpose in it? In this week’s passage we discuss the difference between empty religious action and the hope of active faith.
