Evangelism 101 – various passages
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our annual “Back to School” series. Some messages can’t wait until after class. That’s when you slip a note across the aisle while the teacher’s back is turned. A daring move, but worth it. But how many of those messages are REALLY important? We know how eternally important our message of faith is. Will we take …
Secure and Empowered – 1 John 5:18-21
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the final message of our study through 1 John. Over the past few months we’ve heard John assure the believers of their faith and encourage them to stay the course.

A Life of Righteous Prayer – 1 John 5:13-17
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the penultimate message in our study through 1 John. Even a very surface level study of the Christian faith reveals that prayer is significant.

The Confidence of Love – 1 John 3:19-24
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads the second week in our series, “A Different Kind of Love” as we continue to study the letter of 1 John. We began this new series talking about 3 facets of God’s love.

A Different Kind of Love – 1 John 3:11-18
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins a new series called, “A Different Kind of Love,” as we continue our study through the book of 1 John. Love is one of the most abused words in the English language. It is also crucial to our understanding of the Christian faith and life. How, then, should we properly understand and live in light of …
Limitless – 1 Corinthians 13
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our two-week miniseries, “Limited/Limitless”. Last week we discussed the divinely appointed limits of our lives.

In this, our faith and our expression of that faith …
