Lay preacher Aaron Thede brings us a special message on the challenges and value of worship. The Christian life is very simple, but it’s not easy. The challenges of walking faithfully with Jesus through our day-to-day lives requires that we live in constant recognition of our opposition so that we might overcome them by the power of God’s Word, Christ’s …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us through the 4th message in our 2023 Christmas series, “Simple Christmas”. In the past three weeks we have discussed simplifying our minds, hands, and hearts around Christmas.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the third message in our 2023 Christmas series, “Simple Christmas.” As we approach Christmas day, the seasonal celebrations begin to pick up steam.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study through the letter of 2 Timothy. We all know the power of words. With our tongues we can build others up or just as easily tear them down. In 2 Timothy 2:14-19, after affirming the power of the fire of faith (v8-13), Paul tells Timothy how a hot and bright fire purifies a believer, …
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 begins a new series on the book of 2 Timothy called, “Keep the Fire Burning”. It is an easy thing, over time, to lose a bit of our passion for even the most important things. Once that fire begins to “settle down” can it be rekindled to a blazing flame? Of course! Paul shows us how God gives …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series in the book of Colossians. Paul has shown us the basis of deep waters of the gospel and told us how they change our lives. But how do we get there? What do we need? Paul gives us the answer through his prayers for the church in Colossians 1:9-14.
