Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our 2021 Advent series, “Awe and Wonder”. As the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), Jesus is the perfect expression of God’s infinite love.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our 2021 Advent series, “Awe and Wonder,” by teaching from Colossians 1:15-20.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg preaches message #4 in our final series in 1 John, “A Different Kind of Love”. John has spent significant time teaching about God’s love and instructing us to know it and share it with others. But what does it look like to live this out?

Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our series, “A Different Kind of Love.” On the night of his arrest and trial Jesus stood before Pilate who asked the age-old question, “What is truth?” Two thousand years later the answer to that question seems to be as elusive to our world as ever. The problem, of course, is that we continue to look …
