Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues to teach through our Advent 2019 series, “Greater Gifts,” on the best gifts of Christmas.

This week we’ll discuss how the JOY we know in the birth of …
Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our 2019 Advent series, “Greater Gifts,” by teaching on the gift of faith. Our celebration of Christmas centers on the manger and the birth of a baby. This child was, as the writer of Hebrews tells us, “the author and perfecter of our faith.” (Hebrews 12:2). Join us this week as we look at another of …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our 2019 Advent series, “Greater Gifts” by speaking of the gift of hope that is given in the birth of Jesus. Everybody loves Christmas presents.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our series in the book of Galatians with a message from Galatians 6 entitled, “Thank God”.

Pastor Ron Eckberg leads us through the next section of our study in the book of Galatians, “The Real Thing.” In every minute of every day we face countless choices.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study through Galatians in a series called, “The Real Thing.” Over the last two weeks, we’ve heard Paul tell the Galatians how they’ve been adopted as children of God and how their former way of life should now hold no appeal to them. This week, in Galatians 4:21-31, he shows the implications of their new …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next section of our study through Galatians. Junk food looks, smells, and tastes so good, but it offers no nutritional value and does us much more harm than good. Seeking righteousness by our own efforts seems appealing to us as well, but it fails us in every way. Galatians 4:8-20 reveals the false appeal of …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches from Galatians 4:1-7 in the next message of our series, “The Real Thing.” We all know what it’s like to think we have a great plan only to find ourselves deeper in trouble.

Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our study through the book of Galatians, “The Real Thing.” The appendix is an odd part of the human anatomy.
