Pastor Ron Eckberg brings us a special message from Micah 6:8. It’s amazing how hard we humans work at turning the simple into something complicated. For example, “Love your neighbor” means “Love your neighbor”, right? In the Old Testament we find God giving us a simple formula to fulfill what he requires of us.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg closes out our study in the book of Joel. Last week we saw God revealing His faithfulness through Joel. But what now? As we close this short prophetic book, God challenges HIs people (that us!) to trust in the faithfulness Joel revealed. How do we do this? We find the keys in Joel 3:1-21.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us through the second week of a three-week series covering the book of Joel. Last week we saw how God confronts our sin with fitting consequences and discipline.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues to lead us through our study of the book of 2 Timothy. Building, working, and maintaining the fire of our faith if hard work. Over time it can become easier and easier to lose focus or become overwhelmed by fatigue and opposition. In 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Paul gives us instructions on how to constantly keep the …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the sermon in our current series, “Keep the Fire Burning.” Few things are maintained without some hands-on effort. The fire of our faith is no different.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study of 2 Timothy in our series, “Keeping the Fire Burning”. The flames of a fire may look remarkably similar even though they burn from very different sources.
