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 …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our new series on tackling the mission that God sets before us called, “New Horizon.” We often admire those who have a mission – a purpose in their lives which they pursue with great persistence. We wish we had that kind of clarity and focus. But the truth is, by faith in Jesus Christ, we are …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg opens our new year with a special message, “Joyfully Enduring Together.” New Year’s resolutions offer a great way to challenge ourselves to improve. But why do most fail? They fail because change is hard and when things get hard it’s difficult to stick with them. Hebrews 12 shows us how God supplies us with the endurance to …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our 2019 Advent series, “Greater Gifts,” by discussing how Jesus’ birth brings the gift of peace. Peace is a grand ideal.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our series in the book of Galatians with a message from Galatians 6 entitled, “Thank God”.

As Paul concluded this letter, he shows us four blessings for which we can be grateful regardless of the situations we find consuming our lives.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches Galatians 5:1-15 as we continue our study through the book of Galatians, “The Real Thing.” Paul has spent a great deal of time explaining the freedom we have through faith. This week he begins to shift his focus to what that liberated life looks like. In Galatians 5:1-15, we will hear the characteristics of a life …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study through Galatians in a series called, “The Real Thing.” Over the last two weeks, we’ve heard Paul tell the Galatians how they’ve been adopted as children of God and how their former way of life should now hold no appeal to them. This week, in Galatians 4:21-31, he shows the implications of their new …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next section of our study through Galatians. Junk food looks, smells, and tastes so good, but it offers no nutritional value and does us much more harm than good.
