Facing Down the Opposition - Nehemiah 4

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series in the book of Nehemiah called, "Rebuild and Restore." God calls us to work for His glory. Which, in a dark world broken by sin, will ALWAYS be met with opposition. It is a constant in our calling. How then do we maintain our focus and our commitment in the face of opposition? Nehemiah shows us in Nehemiah 4:1-23.

A Community Effort - Nehemiah 3

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues to walk us through the book of Nehemiah in our current series, "Rebuild and Restore." God gives each of us a unique calling for His glory and our job is to faithfully respond. But we were never meant to be lone rangers. Instead, God calls us to work out our calling in the context of the community of the family of faith. Nehemiah shows us how we do this as his community begins their work in Nehemiah 3:1-32.

A Faith-filled Response - Nehemiah 2

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches week 2 of our study of Nehemiah, "Rebuild and Restore." God has issued a call into each of our lives. He wants to use us for His glory and share with us the joy of living on mission. But how exactly do we do that? How do we push ourselves into the discomfort of purposeful mission? Nehemiah shows us how to move forward faithfully into our calling in Nehemiah 2:1-20.

A Call to Action - Nehemiah 1

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg begins our brand new series, "Rebuild and Restore," as we walk through the book of Nehemiah together. We enter the new year with great hopes for what lies ahead and a desire for God's purposes to be known in our lives. But are we prepared to recognize and answer when He calls us to action? Nehemiah gives us a perfect game plan for such preparations in Nehemiah 1:1-11.

Decision Points - Vision 2022

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches a special new year's message. There is nothing magical about the changing of the calendar. However, it does present us with the perfect opportunity to assess where we are and decide where we want to be a year from now. For us to grow and mature in our faith over the next 12 months we must be willing to step into discomfort and make the most of the opportunities God gives us.

Where Do You Live?

Pastor Ron Eckberg leads our final service of 2021 by asking the question, "Where do you live?" Here we examine where we set our feet to find our purpose, meaning, and stability for the upcoming year. In doing so we are challenged to examine our selves and see that we are pursing Christ and His purpose as we move forward.

Awe and Wonder - Hebrews 4:1-4

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg concludes our 2021 Advent series, “Awe and Wonder”. As the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), Jesus is the perfect expression of God’s infinite love. Usually we point to the manger and the cross as our evidence. While this is good, the question remains: HOW does Jesus’ life perfectly express God’s infinite love. We get a beautiful look at the answer to this question in Hebrews 1:1-4.
