This weekend, we'll open a five-week series on prayer with the example Jesus gives us in Matthew 6:9-13. We'll see that praying through the Lord's Prayer thoughtfully and intentionally is an act of orientation that can anchor a person in any situation.
This weekend, we’ll conclude our study of 1 John. We’ve seen this short letter lay down layer after layer of instruction on the relationship between knowing and loving in the Christian life, and John has one more layer to offer before he’s done. In 1 John 5:13-21, we’ll see him return to the issue of “knowing,” and how knowing the truth leads us to rest, resistance, and relationship.
This weekend we’ll study 1 John 5:1-12, where John points us to the testimony of the Spirit, the water, and the blood. Together we’ll discover why God wants His children to live with assurance rather than uncertainty. We’ll also share in Holy Communion as we remember Christ’s sacrifice and celebrate the life we have in Him.
THIS WEEKEND, we begin Living in Confidence, the final four-week series in our journey through 1 John. Pastor Sam will look at one of the Bible’s most well-known and often misunderstood statements: “God is love.” Together, we’ll discover how God’s love is revealed through Jesus and how receiving His love transforms the way we love others.
This week’s passage from 1 John 4:1-6 teaches us to beware of deception and encourages us that we can defeat deception in Jesus’ name
THIS WEEKEND, we turn to 1 John 3:18-24 and even though it is a bit daunting at first read, you soon realize that John is letting us all “catch up” and be ready to move to the second half of the book. It is helpful and encouraging!
This weekend, we’ll continue our study of 1 John as we look at 3:11-18. John contrasts the absence of love in Cain with the ultimate example of sacrificial love in Christ, then challenges us to live out what we believe.
THIS WEEKEND, we'll continue our journey through 1 John 2:28-3:10 as we look at one of the most incredible truths in the Bible: you are God's child now! John reminds us that God's love isn't something we earn. It’s something He freely gives. And as we abide in Christ, our lives begin to reflect that family resemblance through practicing small steps of faith.
This weekend, we continue our study of 1 John by examining one of the first major examples of John’s unique writing style. As we explore 1 John 2:7–11, we’ll see how John repeatedly returns to key truths to help his readers better understand and apply them.
This weekend, we continue our study of 1 John by looking at the first six verses of chapter 2 and learning about our hope and the Reason for our hope, Jesus!
This weekend, we will continue our Living in the Light series through 1 John as we explore 1 John 1:5–10 together. John reminds us that walking in the light is not about pretending we have it all together. It’s about honestly acknowledging our need for Jesus, confessing our sin, and trusting in His grace. And when we bring our brokenness into the light, God is faithful to forgive.
This weekend, we’re beginning a brand-new series through 1 John called Living in the Light. As we explore 1 John 1:1–4 together, we’ll discover John’s invitation to move beyond simply knowing about God and into deeper, real fellowship with Jesus and one another.
This weekend, Pastor Denny will help us close out the His Word My Walk series by exploring Micah 6:8 and the clear call God places before His people. Together, we’ll look at what truly pleases God, how His Word shapes our character from the inside out, and what it means to faithfully walk with Him in everyday life.
THIS WEEKEND, we’ll explore what God’s Word reveals about envy, comparison, and contentment through examples like Cain, Saul, and John the Baptist. As we look at the questions Scripture presses into our hearts, we’ll discover how true joy is found not in comparison but in faithfully embracing who God made us to be for His glory.
This weekend, we'll take a look at Numbers 22:20-34. It's an odd story with a powerful point. Part comedy. Part tragedy. All true, relevant, and transformational for anyone willing to put in the work to press God's word into their hearts and lives.
We have the privilege of hearing from a former ECC staff member and current HU Campus Pastor, Mark Vincenti, this weekend. We will explore Jesus’ words in John 15, a passage that inspires each of us as we seek to grow deeper in applying His Word to our walk.
This weekend, we'll take a look at an incredible story of grace in John 8:1-11. It's a story that pulls together themes and truths from all over the New Testament. It’s a story that offers us a deeply helpful look into the heart of Jesus for those who find themselves exposed in their sin.
This weekend, we celebrate Resurrection Sunday with another look at the veil in God's temple. Only this time, instead of looking at it in the Old Testament, we'll look at it from the perspective of the writer of Hebrews. There we'll see what was going on behind the scenes when the veil was torn, and what that means for us as believers today.
On Good Friday, we pause to remember the cross and what Jesus has done for us. This will be a reflective time of worship, Scripture, and Communion as we step into the weight and meaning of this day together. NOTE - there are only Completed Notes for this service.
This weekend, we'll step into Holy Week with a look at a detail it's easy to miss when we talk about the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, His death, and His resurrection. We're going to look at the veil in the temple that set apart the Holy of Holies. While Mark 11:1-11 doesn't speak to the veil directly, it does show us Jesus' focus on the temple, and how that set the scene for all that would come next.
THIS WEEKEND, we conclude our study of Paul's epistle to the Galatians. Paul has made his appeal that his readers would stand firm in gospel freedom. And he's explained how anyone who has simply accepted God's forgiveness and love by faith alone through the cross of Christ can follow the Holy Spirit's lead into a new way of living like Jesus. Now in Galatians 6:11-18, Paul takes the pen from his assistant and adds one last push to his letter with particular force in his own bold print.
This weekend, we'll follow Paul deeper into his explanation of what it looks like to be led by the Spirit. In Galatians 6:1-10, we'll be invited to take all that we've heard so far and begin applying it to a few more key areas of our lives.
This weekend, we'll continue our exploration of the role of the Holy Spirit in our journey of transformation into the image of Jesus as we dig into Galatians 5:19-26. We'll see how Paul brings his conversation with the Galatians back around to simple gospel clarity.
