Romans is the “queen of the letters” of the New Testament, and this weekend we will take some time to look at the book as a whole. The following week, we will begin a verse-by-verse study of Romans for more than a year. This overview will help us have a perspective on the things we will learn.
We continue our study of Titus by looking at instructions for younger men and employees. Although the text is straightforward and easy to follow, there are some interesting things to highlight. The point of the whole text is to align our lifestyles with the Word.

This weekend we will look at Titus 2:1-5 and see how Titus was told to teach each group within the church. Hopefully, this will be helpful and not too offensive as we learn the plan for each person in the church body.
We continue our walk through the letter of TITUS by looking at how people with a twisted theology can derail a church if they are not silenced. Paul “pulls no punches” as he tells us what to do with these divisive people.
We look at Paul’s instruction to name ELDERS in the church, and we see the specific requirements for someone to be named to that position. We continue our study of TITUS by looking at the importance of LEADERSHIP.

We will step back into our study of Romans by starting a new series that will cover Romans 9-11. After reaching the pinnacle of the book in Romans 8, Paul turns his attention to a few more challenging questions before moving into an extended section of practical application. Romans 9-11 will deal with Israel's relationship with the gospel. But woven into that discussion is a series of big questions that all of us need to work through.

In the last message in this series, our focus will be James 5:13-16 as we double down on the "How" of our WALK. We'll move from a general idea of knowing Jesus through the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings to a more practical conversation of working that out in a specific area of our lives.

We will move to our second of three weeks exploring our core value of HIS WORD OUR WALK. This weekend, we'll unpack Philippians 3:7-12. Last week, we looked at the "What" of our walk; that it's about transformation and participation in Christ. This week, we will begin looking at the "How" of our walk as we work through some of the Apostle Paul's most intense thoughts on the topic. As it turns out, Paul had a lot to say about what is truly gain and what is loss.
We will begin a three-week series celebrating and exploring our core value of HIS WORD OUR WALK. This weekend, we'll focus on 2 Corinthians 5:21. As my life verse, I'm excited to share with you the depth of impact it has had in my life and how it can be an anchor verse for anyone who seeks to walk out God's word.
We continue our Beatitude series with the idea of “mourning over sin” and how the Lord brings comfort. This will be a wonderful reminder that you don’t hear anywhere today but from God’s Word.
We are continuing our series called MY FAVORITE PSALM. Psalm 8 is a psalm of praise for God’s big creation and small humans. That includes you! Not only is it the first psalm of praise in the Bible, but it has a couple of connections to Jesus that might surprise you.

We move back to the Gospel of Mark starting in chapter 6. Jesus had become so popular that pushback was beginning from His family, friends, and political leaders. Jesus left the crowds and returned home to continue His ministry.
This message looks at the relationship of being an employee. We will see that we are called to obey our employer in everything. In today’s text, we will look at four ways that can help us be obedient to our employer all the while keeping in mind that the Lord is our ultimate boss, who we are ultimately serving.
We begin a new 6-part series on great women of faith. Being Mother’s Day weekend, we will begin with the mother of the Jewish people (and, in a sense, the mom of all believers), SARAH. We will focus on the word FAITHFULNESS to describe Sarah and, of course, reflect on our own faithfulness.

If asked, what would you say might be the three most important words to focus on in the upcoming year? Today we'll take a look at some that emerge from a short study of the book of Acts, and how those words might influence our life together.
We continue our series on MY FAVORITE PSALM, in which Psalm 95 is a song that will lead us through worship and then bring us to a challenge: What will I do if I hear the voice of God? Psalm 95 is the most talked about Old Testament passage in the New Testament (Hebrews 3-4) and has far-reaching implications. After the music and after the singing, where do we find the voice of the Lord?

We continue our study of Titus by looking at the connection between God’s grace and the way we live. As we have already been learning, the point of the whole text is to align our lives with the Word.
We continue with the ELISHA series by looking at the story of Naaman being healed from leprosy. Join us as we learn not only how Elisha healed him, but also the significance of their encounter.
We continue the series on MY FAVORITE PSALM as we look at Psalm 23, the most famous psalm and probably the most famous passage in the entire Scriptures. And there's a good reason it's so well-loved! So let's look at it together this weekend as we join together and allow the Good Shepherd to "restore our souls."

We will be exploring Paul the Apostle’s advice to the Thessalonians for how to develop and maintain an enduring faith in Christ. This advice will be helpful for all of us as we live in a world that often works against our spiritual growth.
Our Scriptural text is Numbers 14, where we see rebellion emerge in the life of God’s people.
The book of Titus is moving toward its climax as it builds on its repetitive theme of doing good. We are not just saved from! We are saved for! We are saved for doing good which will benefit all mankind. But most strikingly, this brings beauty before the eyes of the non-Christian.
We continue our series by watching the soldiers arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and walk Him to Caiaphas’ house. Throughout the chaos, Jesus was under control... and in control. Peter, on the other hand, was controlled by fear. From the interactions between Jesus and Peter, we learn the good news that faith brings an end to fear.
As Christians, we declare that Jesus is the Son of God and that we want to follow Him. But what does following Jesus really look like? We’ll explore what it means to deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Him. Through God’s Word, we’ll see that it's not a call to simply do more or try harder, but to rest in His love and allow the Lord to empower us to live a victorious life!
Martha vs. Mary. Whose focus wins? Of the three passages in Luke 10, today’s story most clearly directs believers to stay focused on ‘the most important thing.’ Jesus will not ask Mary to surrender the best for the good. He also wants us to learn to choose the best over the pull of what is good.
We refer to today’s passage as ‘The Story of the Good Samaritan.’ However, this parable is not about the Samaritan’s ‘goodness,’ it is about his ‘compassion' - the mercy he shows to a person in desperate need. We will be taught by Jesus’ story to open our hearts compassionately towards others in a way few people in our world do.
When we last studied Luke 9, Jesus had just made a decision. He had “set his face towards Jerusalem.” Today, we pick back up in Luke 10 to find that Jesus sent disciples ahead of Him on His journey towards the city. We will learn some principles about sharing our faith that apply directly to us as they did these original followers. But on a larger scale, we will learn what it means to enter into the joy of Jesus. Beyond any work we will do, our first call is to stay focused on one amazing truth - we are His.1
The awe and wonder surrounding the babies born in the Christmas story continue to hang in our hearts and minds this final weekend of 2015. So today, let's consider our own responsibilities as created children who are formed in God’s image. This message is especially directed to men, but we will be reminded that as God’s creation, we all were for designed for dominion – no one was created to hide.
Each week of this preaching series we have opened our ears to hear the ‘Power of Jesus.’ Today we find Jesus telling what would happen in the future. More than this, it becomes clear that Jesus has power to see the specific fulfillment of the plan of God. In the midst of Jesus’ declaration of what would happen to him, he asks all who will hear to recognize him for who he is – God’s messiah.
Peter turns a corner this week in our passage moving from a description of salvation to what is required of each of us in response to this great gift. We find that this gift has an impact on each of our relationships! This weekend, in light of the gift of salvation given to us, what is the appropriate response to Him and to other people?
We will be encouraged to learn that God has given us a pathway to avoid failing in our Christian walk. None of us are special. We all are tempted by the same types of things. God has made us new, given us a legacy to live up to, and taught us to rely on Him for everything. God Himself provides us a way out of all temptation.
It is with great pleasure we welcome Dr. Daniel Henderson to ECC this weekend and pray that you also will find his encouragement for worship-based prayer a blessing!

In our passage today, Jesus again focuses on the Kingdom of God.The challenge for both the Pharisees and the disciples is whether they can shift their point of view regarding the Kingdom. Our challenge will be the same. Will we live as if Jesus’ teaching is true: the Kingdom is here, in our midst?
This message continues in the series on Elisha, an amazing man with great faith in God. Along with faith, Elisha had a great compassion for people and God used him in a miraculous way to meet the needs of a poor widow and her sons. He was able to see past the widow’s problem to what God wanted to do in her life. We will learn that God’s power is limitless, that He wants to accomplish something BIGGER in our lives and that His blessings are “Good to the Last Drop”!
We stand at a pivotal moment. Not an earth - shattering, change - your - life kind of thing, but a moment in time where we pivot from one year into the next. As we look back and thank Him for what He did in our lives this past year, we’d also be wise to consider what He’s got ahead for us.
We return to our study of Nehemiah, and we see how he overcomes a large and unforeseen obstacle. In three short acts, we get a glimpse of how a leader calls his people to obedience and the work of the Kingdom resumes in earnest!
We continue the series that will focus our attention on intentional conversations that Jesus had with outsiders. In today's study, we'll take a peek at the nighttime conversation Jesus has with Nicodemus.
Last message we were challenged to consider who we can PLUG IN to making a global impact. But it’s way too easy to get focused “out there” and miss what’s happening right around us. Today we’ll take a look at how we’re equipped to share right here in our own little corner of the world.
This message continues our study in the Gospel of John as we continue to examine different “kings” that easily replace the King of Kings in our lives. Many Christians seek Jesus for salvation but don’t realize that He is also King. When we honor Him as King, our lives are blessed and He gets the glory. In this passage, we see a two men who worshipped safety.
This message turns the tables and take a look at parents. Those are the people who once were kids, but now they bear the awesome privilege– and weighty responsibility– of leading a home to be an environment where Christ is honored through the lives of those who live there.
This message will discuss our responsibility to step out in obedience to whatever God is calling us to do, in order to share his Truth with others. We'll be specifically talking about Biblical Worldview, Biblical Holism and Reconciliation of broken relationships.
Impacting your world can seem pretty intimidating, perhaps even presumptuous. Yet Christ has called us to be a church that makes a global impact. This weekend we’ll consider how we get plugged into His power, purpose and our place of ministry in the world.
This message continues the series on an amazing man. We will see how his devotion and commitment, his dedication and calling led him to continue the great ministry of his mentor Elijah. We will learn the value of leaving a Godly legacy for those who follow in their walk of faith. We will see what can be accomplished if we invest ourselves in others and be challenged to pick up our Mantle, the one the God has for us, and “Pass It On” to others so that the message of God keeps going, and going and going!
