We conclude our study of Romans 8 by looking at the people and things that CANNOT SEPARATE us from the Lord. It is a powerful passage and contains wonderful promises. We will close the service with Holy Communion.
We continue our study of Romans 8 by looking at one of the most famous and most-quoted verses — Romans 8:28. This verse is part of a “sandwich” that Paul shared with us — and it is powerful!
We continue to study Romans 8 and look at the three “groans” that help us understand that we are waiting for the “revealing.” This is a fascinating text as Paul uses a word that is rarely used in the New Testament but helps us understand our condition on this planet as believers.

We continue our study of Romans 8 by looking at verses 12 to 17 and we see that we should have the desire to live holy lives because we are part of God’s family.  We also see the incredible benefits that come from a relationship with our Heavenly Father.

We continue our series on The Spirit-Filled Life from Romans 8. This week we learn about the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the lifestyle of those who are "in Christ." It is a simple text with a powerful message.

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 series on MY FAVORITE PSALM. The second psalm is PSALM 73, and we will learn about having a proper perspective. All of us go through confusing, challenging times. We can become disappointed with God and our circumstances in life. In these times, Psalm 73 helps believers, like myself, to be honest with God. It helps us reorient ourselves to reality when we’ve lost our way, and it is an enduring source of comfort when life is really tough. Â

We look at a passage that helps us understand how important God’s people are to their city and their area. Our influence and our role are vital to God’s plan and can truly bring change to the lives of people around us. Thankfully, we have partners in this. Several of those partners will be represented this weekend at ECC: A Hope Center, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, International House, New Mercies Ministries, Phoenix Alliance, Place of Grace, Redemption House, The Rescue Mission, and Youth For Christ.

We continue our series Dead or Alive, and we move further into the early morning hours of the day Christ will be crucified. We’ll see two important parts of the story are happening at the same time. Jesus is going through His trial in front of the religious establishment, and Peter is going through his “trial” trying to remain incognito in the courtyard nearby. One remains strong and the other had to face his weakness.
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.Â
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."

This weekend we will take a look at Ephesians 2:1-10. We will see some of the themes we have been studying in Romans embedded in this passage and will be challenged to build our lives on the foundation of God's grace.

Join us as we continue our study on salvation by looking at Abraham's example in this section of Scripture. As we see God's work in his life, we will be encouraged in our own faith journey.
We continue our series, "Praying the Psalms" this weekend. While last weekend focused on praise and thanksgiving, this weekend focuses on confession and lament. We will discover just how important confession is for us and just how much of a gift lament is for us. As we will see, this type of praying is just what we need in a world filled with so much tragedy and brokenness.
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!Â
Good habits will help to shape the person you are now and the legacy that you want to leave behind. This message explores the idea of making our friends and friendship a priority in our lives.
We learn how Peter assured believers that Jesus would return for His church in spite of mocking voices that challenged God's promise. In our own walk this passage will encourage us that this promise still holds true today. Some day we will "Be Gone", but for now God's patience keeps the door to eternity open for everyone who will repent.
We learn to prepare for and endure hardship and suffering in order to exchange them for an assured glory. Peter has instructed the church to act as servants, to stay humble, and to resist the devil as we walk through all types of suffering.”
We will look into the ugly power of jealousy as we move into Numbers chapter 12. We will learn that our jealousies sometimes focus us on things that don't matter, and we will see that God has no room for us to be jealous of those who have authority over us.
We are challenged to understand why Jesus said that we could be happy to be persecuted. No rational person wants to be persecuted. We are not expected to be radicals to invoke persecution. Happiness is found in persecution only when we share in the suffering of Jesus.
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?Â
We see another contrast between the religion of the Pharisees and the heart of Jesus. Â As Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus shows us a new way of relating to God and furthering His kingdom.
We will look at an amazing story from the book of Acts and be challenged to be BOLD in our faith. As we approach a new school-year, let us strive to live our faith, share our faith and pray for more boldness to impact our homes, schools and community with the message of Jesus!
As the Israelites stood on the brink of entering the promised land, they were commanded to pass along a legacy of faith to the next generation. Â This intentional effort on their part would be crucial for their continued prosperity in the land as the people of God. Â Today it is no less urgent that we pass along our faith to the generation coming behind us. Â We will explore some "legacy principles" that will assist us in leaving a legacy that will make a difference for all of eternity.
This message will continue our study of God's Kingdom Rules by looking at the next three commandments, which deal with our relationships with others. These commandments are based on God's perfect plan for his people who are created in his image. Â We will discover through these next three commandments that inward attitudes always precede outward actions.
This message teaches us that honoring parents was extremely important to God and still is.  One of the ways that God intended for his people to be set apart and holy among the nations was how they treated their parents.  In fact, their prosperity in the Promised Land was directly tied to their obedience in this area.  We will also see how we can apply this Kingdom Rule today in our own lives.
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. Â 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!
