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. The same is true of the passion of those who claim faith in Jesus. And yet, we have all seen false flames burn hot and bright before …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us through the next message in our series on the life of Jacob. This week we find Jacob’s part of God’s plan to bless the world coming to a close. This conclusion is not full of the grand excitement one might expect. Jacob is faithful and God takes care of him, but we are reminded here that our …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series, “Behind the Shield,” as we look at the life of Jacob. Ever work hard on a problem, only to come to the end of the day and think, “Duh! I should have known that!” It can be easy to miss truths that should be obvious. Sometimes God uses the dark of night to teach us …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our new series, “Behind the Shield,” as we look at the closing scenes of Jacob’s journey. Sometimes we feel like life moves us out of the frying pan and into the fire. This is how Jacob feels as he begins his journey back to his homeland. As he faces the ever increasing danger ahead, God shows him …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches another lesson in our series, “Passing the Torch”. Trials in this life are many… but so too are blessings! While we talk often about how we handle the difficulties in life, it is also important that we know how to handle God’s blessings with grace and faithfulness. In Genesis 30:25-43, we find three instructions in how …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us back into our study of the third section in the book of Genesis in our series called, “Passing the Torch.” Faithfulness is never easy. It requires commitment to stay on track with purpose and to see our works in the faith completed. In Genesis 29:1-14, Jacob works his way through God’s calling. In doing so, …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues to walk us through the book of Colossians in our series, “Unwavering.” It’s easy to tell the difference between a toddler and a full-grown adult. All you have to do is look! But how do we tell the difference between a mature and an immature believer? How do we know if our own walk with the …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our series, “Abide,” by looking at 1 John 3:1-10. Some decisions are difficult, others – like what socks we wear or what spoon we choose to eat with – are so ridiculously easy and so obvious that we barely even think about them. Over the past three weeks John has described what it means to abide …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg walks through Acts 9:1-22 discussing the conversion of Saul. Although we have begun to build activities back into our daily routines, we all still sit before a blank page of what the coming days, weeks, months, and years will bring. But how do we make the most of that blank page? Acts 9 shows us how God …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our current series, “Promises, Promises” in which we study Abraham’s wait for God to fulfill His promises. Sometimes you feel like you just can’t take any more. This had to be how Abraham felt in the 25th year of God’s promise with no fulfillment in sight. But in Genesis 18, God reassures Abraham and we see …
