Married For Life - John 13

Pastor Ron Eckberg shares a special message from John 13. For better or worse. For richer or poor. In sickness and in health. Those phrases—so often heard in wedding ceremonies—define the depth a marriage relationship. But how many of us apply those same characteristics to all our relationships? We examine this topic through the lens of God’s Word in a message titled, “Married for Life”.

Forward - Assembly, Week 4

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our Back to School series. Over the past three weeks we've discussed the focus, identity, and outpouring of the gathered church. But how does spending an hour a week in the physical presence of other believers help us fulfill the purpose the church? We step forward together to BE the church and accomplish our mission together.

Outward - Assembly, Week 3

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches week 3 of our current series, "Assembly," in which we look at the biblical importance of gathering with the local church. Over the past two weeks we've talked about several theological truths that are reinforced by the act of gathering together with the church each week. But how does that shape the way we live our day-to-day lives? We seek to answer this question as we look outward.

Inward - Assembly, Week 2

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches week 2 of our Back-to-School series, "Assembly," in which we dive deep into the purpose and meaning of the gathered church. If you've ever read your Bible or attended a church service, you probably have some idea of what it means to be a part of the church. But how does gathering with the same people every Sunday serve to strengthen our understanding of our Christian identity and our place in God's Kingdom? We'll discuss the biblical answer in this week's message.

Upward - Assembly, Week 1

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg kicks off our 2022 edition of our Back-to-School series called, "The Assembly." We live in a digital age where nearly every interaction we have can be managed without a personal touch. So why do we still need to physically gather as a church family? For the next few weeks we'll look at 4 important aspects of the gathered church which show our need to actively and physically assemble with the body of Christ.

Free At Last - Galatians 5:1 (July 3rd, 2022)

Father’s Day 2022 - Faithful Leadership - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg presents a special Father's Day message. As we celebrate the men God has used in each of our lives to help lead us into a deeper and richer faith, we reflect on what faithful biblical leadership looks like. In doing so, we consider how we, no matter our position, can faithfully lead others at home, at work, and in our world to grow and mature in our faith together.
