Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches the next message in our series, “Vs.” in Ecclesiastes 9:1-10. Death is truly the “elephant in the room.” Everyone knows it’s real but no one wants to talk about it.

Pastor Ron Eckberg preaches through Ecclesiastes 7 as we continue our series, “Vs.” Let’s face it, when it comes to life we all want ample doses of the “better” and and as little of the “worse” as possible.

Pastor Ron Eckberg shares a special Father’s Day message. Like it or not, if you are a father you are being “measured”. Your children—and most likely, you—are measuring you against your father, against the fathers of your children’s friends, and even the fathers on the TV screen. There is, however, only one True Father we should measure ourselves against.

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.

Pastor Ron Eckberg preaches the second week of a two-part message on worship. In just a few short words, “Come, let us worship and bow down”, God invites his children to come before His throne.

Pastor Ron Eckberg begins a two-week miniseries on the life of worship. “We are saved,” wrote A.W. Tozer, “to worship God.” As simple as that sounds worship is still something that the church struggles with and even divides over. This week, we gain a greater understanding of our ultimate calling.

The Benefits of Abiding, Part 2 – 1 John 2:28-29

eefc Abide Leave a Comment

Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches the next message in our series, “Abide.” In John 10:10 Jesus tells us that he came that we might “have life and have it abundantly.” What a wonderful promise! There is a catch, however, and it lies in the extent to which we abide in Him. The more we abide, the greater the blessings!
