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; …
Pastor Ron Eckberg teaches the first part of a two-week mini-series entitled, “In Enemy Territory”. In these two weeks we will discuss how to live out the Christian life in a day, age, and culture where we are no longer the majority and where our faith puts us on the outside the norm.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg offers a devotional thought as we respond to our study of the book of Leviticus with a morning of prayer, praise, and communion. “What do I do now?” It is a question we’ve all asked. We complete a task or learn a skill or earn a degree and then we have to put that new information into …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the final chapters of Leviticus in our series, “The Pursuit.” Have you ever faced a make-or-break decision? One that could work out great… or could be terrible?

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study through Leviticus by discussing our pursuit of rest. We all need rest. Most of us could use a lot more of it than we actually get. But rest is about more than just sitting down or sleeping in. In Leviticus 25 God tells us about how He orders life to give His people rest. …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series, “The Pursuit” by teaching from Leviticus 24. Throughout Leviticus, we are reminded that God is holy, perfect, and sovereign. Most of us know this as a fact, but it can be difficult to see how that changes the decisions and actions of our daily lives. Leviticus 24 gives us several guidelines to help us …
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. Fatherhood is a challenging, heart-rending, joyful, frustrating, complicated task. It is, however, one …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues in our final study in Leviticus called, “The Pursuit.” Everybody loves a party. We take great joy in gathering together to celebrate life’s momentous occasions. But these are (usually) events we choose to celebrate. How do we respond when we are commanded to celebrate. In Leviticus 23, God commands His children to celebrate. This week we …
Pastor Ron Eckberg continues our examination of God’s call to holiness through Leviticus 21-22. Oswald Chambers writes; “Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.” In Leviticus, we have seen just how important the holiness of His people is to God and this week we see the high standard of holiness God expects his priests to observe.
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series through the book of Leviticus. Last week, Leviticus 17-18 showed us how we need to recognize the worth-ship of our holy God.
