Pastor Jonathan Eckberg launches us into our new series, “Christmas Parties”. In a season where Christmas parties abound, it’s easy to get lost in the moment and only see what is right in front of us. But, in order to rejoice more deeply in this Christmas season we have to go back to see what the birth of Jesus meant …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg kicks off our 2023 Christmas series as we look to regain the majesty of Christmas story in a series titled, “Simple Christmas.” In this first week we discuss slowing down to grasp the peace of Christ in the midst of the chaos of the season.
In a break from our current series, Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches a special message on responding to the unknowns in our lives. Everywhere we turn we face the “what ifs” of life. Some will come to pass, most will not. So how should God’s people respond to the continued negativity of our world and, sometimes, our own minds? The Apostle Paul …
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches the next message in our series through Genesis. In John 14 Jesus promised to give us peace yet that peace seems to continually elude us. We are restless, peace-less, dissatisfied and always wanting more. This Sunday, as we continue our study of the Genesis story, we learn how to find the peace that Jesus spoke of …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study through the book of Genesis. We all want our days to be filled with peace. In Genesis 28:10-22, we find Jacob in a chaotic time of life (can you relate?). We also find God intervening to grant the peace that Jacob needs in that very moment. Through this interaction we see three avenues through …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series through Ecclesiastes called, “Vs.” Solomon has talked about a lot of the futility of human life. And, from a certain perspective, we can easily see and agree with his point. But we still have a choice in how we respond to such futility. It can either frustrate us or lead us to peace. How …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our 2020 Advent series, “The Thrill of Hope.” Over the next four weeks we will take time to remember and reflect on the thrilling hope that accompanies the birth of our Savior. This week we want to acknowledge the weariness that comes with life in this world and recognize the only hope for our weary hearts.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our new sermon series in the book of 1 Thessalonians called, “Hold the Line.” There are times in life when we know exactly what to do. There are so many other times when we feel like we have no idea what to do! How do we stand firm our faith when we feel unprepared for what …
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. Yet, when it comes to actually finding or having peace, it seems that it’s more of a wishful thought than an attainable goal. This week we see how Jesus brings peace not to some degree, …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues in our series, “Longing for Christmas” teaching from Luke 2:14. Life seems to throw uncertainty after uncertainty at us. Just when we think we’ve got things figured out, we are confronted with the unexpected. It’s unsettling. Fortunately for those of us who celebrate the Messiah, we have a calm in the face of all of that …
