In Enemy Territory, Part 2 – Psalm 137 & Jeremiah 29
Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our discussion on living in enemy territory. Jesus described the struggle of the Christian life in very graphic and direct terms; “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” As followers of Jesus Christ we are to live “elevated” lives; …

The Leader of the Band – Joshua 1:1-9
Pastor Ron Eckberg brings a special Father’s Day message, “The Leader of the Band.” Author Blaine Lee writes; “The great leaders are like the best conductors – they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.” The same could be said about great fathers.

Where in the World is the Church?
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches a special message entitled, “Where in the World is the Church?” In John 17 Jesus prays that his people would be “in this world, not of it.” There is no question, however, that the line between the two can be a bit difficult to discern. Join us this Sunday as we examine the place of the …
Flame of God, Undying Fire – Leviticus 6:8-7:21
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches week three of our study through Leviticus. It is probably safe to say that Leviticus is one of the least read books of the Bible. However, as we have been discovering in the opening weeks of our Come to the Alter series those who neglect Leviticus are missing great and wondrous truths.
