ACC Eastern Camp Podcast

This Inspiration Hour centered on the call to follow Christ by saying farewell to self, worldly pursuits, and every rival affection. Through personal testimony and earnest exhortation, the speakers described the emptiness of separation from God, the peace found in surrender to Jesus, and the solemn choice set before every hearer: life in Christ or destruction apart from Him. Drawing from the promi...

Preaching from John 12:26, Bro. Bob Varga called the congregation to turn from the many competing voices of the age and to follow Jesus Christ with continual devotion. He emphasized that true service means being at Christ's disposal, embracing the way of the cross, and living the teachings of Christ in everyday life so that the church bears a clear witness in the world. He urged believers and seek...

Someone asked you a question, and you're not sure how to answer. While you know the Truth, sharing it isn't always received well. What starts as a conversation turns into an argument. You want to respond and defend your faith, but how do you do it in a God-honoring, biblical way. Learn how to discuss and debate as Jesus would, even if the other person ends up disagreeing. --- Title: Truth in a Wor...

In this Inspiration Hour, Bro. Tim Freund urged hearers to consider the blessings that belong to those who follow Christ: peace with God through the saving work of Jesus, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, strength in trials, and the sure hope of heaven. A personal testimony from Misha Pandurov bore witness to the Lord’s preserving mercy in severe illness and called the congregation to be ready for...

Bro. Phil Denzinger preached from John 10 and John 17, calling the congregation to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and to follow Christ not in isolation but together as His flock. Drawing on the testimony of Anakin Jansz and the witness of believers who endured suffering for Christ, he urged the church to reject worldliness, resist the dulling effects of affluence, seek wandering sheep, and pa...

Brother Mikey urged the teens to consider whom they are following, warning that the world, sin, and false promises leave the soul empty, while Christ alone gives lasting life, peace, and joy. Preaching chiefly from the parable of the prodigal son, he called hearers to repent, return to the Father, and surrender fully to Jesus Christ, who bore the penalty of sin and receives sinners with mercy. He...

Within our churches, there are believers who are more sensitive or 'easily offended' by certain topics, things or issues and in an effort to 'keep the peace' and 'do everything with unity,' we may end up stifling the growth, progress, and commission of some believers and even the church. How can we, as a church, help believers grow in maturity, wisdom, and discernment to build and balance strength...

The kingdom of God was never meant to look culturally uniform. Yet many misunderstandings in the church happen because we assume everyone communicates, connects, and relates the same way we do. We invite you to join our discussion as we explore how our ethnic cultures shape our communication, relationships, and expectations-and how Christ calls us to move beyond assumptions we aren't even aware we...

When faced with the twists and turns that life gives us, it's all too easy to dive into a fretting frenzy or take a wander into worry. Let's learn the beauty of trusting God with all of our fears, tears, and everything in between. And to claim sweet victory when we surrender our burdens into the care of the Master of our souls. --- Title: Fret Not (Women Only) Date: July 16, 2026, 10:40 AM Event T...

Modern culture often encourages passivity, largely in the guise of "inclusivity", while Scripture calls men to lead with courage, protect their families, and actively engage in their churches. We'll unpack practical ways to reclaim biblical masculinity in our homes, churches, and nations, and equip our men to reject cultural complacency, embracing their God-given roles as fathers, husbands, pastor...

Our testimony isn't just a story from the past-it's a powerful way to share God's work in our lives. We'll discuss practical ways to share our story with friends, family, and the world, inspiring others to experience God's love. Together, we'll see that even a small act can make a big impact. --- Title: Living Out Our Testimony and Sharing it with the World Date: July 16, 2026, 10:35 AM Event Type...

In this inspiration hour, Brother Ruben Tar repeatedly asked, “What does the cross mean to you?” and centered on the shame and power of Christ’s cross, the great reversal by which apparent defeat became everlasting victory. Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–9, the speaker used the story of Charles Blondin to urge hearers to trust wholly in Christ rather than in their own works, and from Luke 23:18–21 pre...

Brother Brandon Mendrea preached from John 21, showing how the disciples’ need for food points to the deeper hunger of the soul. He contrasted the endless cycle of labor, earthly desire, and spiritual emptiness with Christ, the true Bread of Life, who alone satisfies and gives everlasting life. With a clear gospel appeal, he urged hearers to lay down their burdens, stop seeking satisfaction in the...

The saying goes "you are what you eat," but it's just as true that "you are what you think!" Our minds are a battlefield where there is a raging war of lies vs. truth. The Bible instructs us to "take every thought captive to obey Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5). This is especially crucial today as we are called to discern the truth in a world full of opinions, feelings, lies, and lately, artificial i...

In this Inspiration Hour, Bro. Jonathan Petrovic pressed the weight of Christ’s call, “Follow me,” opening Matthew 9:9 and setting that summons in the light of the gospel—man’s fall into sin, the redeeming death of Christ, and His resurrection power to save. He urged those outside of Christ to respond without delay, and he exhorted believers from 2 Corinthians 5 to live no longer unto themselves b...

Bro. Doug Savin preached from Romans, showing that the law exposes sin and leaves man condemned, but in Christ there is "no condemnation" and the Spirit gives power to walk in newness of life. He urged hearers to follow Jesus through the death of the old man, to trust the righteousness of Christ rather than their own works, and to believe that suffering with Christ leads to hope, adoption, and glo...

In this teen worship service, Samuel Klomp preached from Genesis 1:26-31 and 2:7, teaching that mankind was uniquely created to bear the image of God and to represent Him on the earth through godly relationships, stewardship, and holy living. He showed how sin distorts that calling by turning people toward self-rule and false worship, yet pointed the hearers to Jesus Christ as the perfect image of...

Many Christians quietly wonder: Does the Old Testament still matter? Or has it been replaced by the New? What if the Old Testament isn't outdated-but actually essential? What if it holds rich truths that unlock a deeper, more powerful understanding of Jesus and the New Testament? Jesus thought so. The Old Testament was the only Bible He ever preached from. He quoted it, taught from it, and said of...

John wrote about our joy being full-in Christ and His fellowship. As believers in Christ, the fellowship we have in Christ underlies our fellowship with other believers. Only through this lens can we begin to see the beauty of true biblical unity in "charity, the bond of perfectness." Yet, it's so much easier to focus on what's missing, what's different, or even who's different when we look down t...

Christians increasingly encounter people shaped by major world belief systems that differ fundamentally from biblical Christianity. This forum will examine some of the most influential and widely followed worldviews (e.g. Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Secular Humanism, New Age Spirituality) highlighting how their core claims differ from Christianity and where those claims conflict with biblical teach...

In this Inspiration Hour, Bro. Adrian Brdarski creatively retold the testimony of the demon-possessed man from Matthew 8, Mark 5, and Luke 8, setting before the congregation the misery of bondage and the compassionate power of Christ to deliver. He then called listeners to come to Jesus as they are, reminding them that only the Lord can change a life, silence the enemy, and give rest to the weary...

Brother Tim Munther preached from Matthew 16:24–27 on the question, "Is the profit worth the cost?" He called hearers to follow Christ through self-denial, cross-bearing, and repentance, emphasizing that the world cannot satisfy or save, while losing one’s life for Christ is the only way to truly find it. The message urged both believers and unbelievers to weigh the eternal worth of the soul, trus...
