Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our current series through the oft-neglected book of Leviticus. There are few things more exciting than the birth of a child. It shows us the joy of new life and the wonder of God’s creative power. In Leviticus 12 we find that even in this time of celebration we encounter impurity before God’s holiness and are …
Distinguishing Marks, Part 2 – Leviticus 11:24-47
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg taches the second message in our series, “Clean.” It is easy to see how impurity overwhelms our world. But, Leviticus 11 shows us that impurity is a sickness that attacks our own hearts as well. We must recognize the distinct nature of impurity in our lives so that we may grasp the antidote God has given for …
Distinguishing Marks, Part 1 – Leviticus 11:1-23
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our new series, “Clean” by preaching from Leviticus 11:1-23. It can be confusing to study God’s laws about what he declares clean and unclean. But when we look closer we see the distinguishing marks of what is acceptable before a pure and holy God. We see, through these laws, the same distinguishing marks of purity in …
The Remarkable Church
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches a special message on God’s call for the church to be more than ordinary. We are called to be remarkable. A remarkable church changes the course of the lives of the believers involved, the community in which it exists, and the world around it. Listen in as we discuss four characteristics of the remarkable church.
Strange Fire and Pure Worship – Leviticus 10
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches from Leviticus 10 in the next message of our series, “Come to the Altar.” Information is good, but sometimes we need to “live out” the information to truly understand it. In Leviticus 10, Aaron and his sons live out the truths God has been teaching them about approaching His holiness in worship. The lessons learned by …
Building a Worshipper – Leviticus 9
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study, “Come to the Altar,” by teaching from Chapter 9 of Leviticus. Whether it’s a meeting at work, paying our taxes, or doing house chores we all are faced with tasks that we would rather not do but that we know must be done – so we do them. Our worship of our God is …
Crafting a Servant – Leviticus 8
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches from chapter 8 in our series through Leviticus, “Come to the Altar.” We know that part of the Christian life is to serve the Lord, the church, and those around us. But this is unnatural. It goes against every fiber of our being. So how can we be remade, by God’s grace, into true servants of …
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 …
The Standard – Leviticus 7:22-38
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series in the book of Leviticus, “Come to the Altar,” by teaching from Leviticus 7:22-38. Our world is a crazy place. We live in the midst of an everpresent battle over the most basic concepts. The problem is not a lack of intelligence or information. The problem is a lack of foundation. In this week’s …
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.
