Emmaus Road Church

Blessed are the peacemakers. Jesus said that in the Sermon on the Mount. Sometimes there's a peace that is only to be found on the other side of war. We line in a world at war and we have a real enemy. We must fight!

You and I were made to be ruled by a King, but not just any king. That sounds strange to 21st Century American ears, and its especially hard since none of us have ever seen a perfectly benevolent ruler at any point in history. But Jesus is coming again soon, and He will reign over the earth...

Does God want unity or uniformity? What's the difference? And what are the things that threaten the unity of the Church? Psalm 133 lays out clearly God's heart and design for unity in among His people...

Joy and gladness result from continually cultivating an awareness of God's presence in our lives. Psalm 4 details a view of life and the world around us that is permeated by an overwhelming gladness in the Lord.

Where does a power to forgive others come from? Why do I need forgiveness from God, and how can I get it when I don't deserve it? Our sin has to be covered - the question is will we try to cover it ourselves, or will we invite the Living God to do it for us...

Life is short and it goes by quickly! How can embracing the brevity of this life lead us to a place of wisdom? Psalm 90 answers that question.

God has ordained some basic human institutions like the family. As His people, we should be seeking to understand and embrace His design rather than the world's notion. Psalm 127 gives us an important perspective.

What does sowing and reaping mean for believers in Jesus Christ? Why isn't there more laughter and joyful shouting in the church? Find out as we look at Psalm 126

Many people think God's Word is silent on the issues of conception, the beginning of human life, and abortion, but they couldn't be more wrong.

We launch our series "Summer Playlist" with a look at Psalm 19 as God reveals Himself through his Creation and through His Word...

Pastor Ryan Jensema from Northwest Baptist in Bellingham, WA shows us how our shame leads to a lack of vulnerability, and how that short circuits our desire to neighbor well.

We tend to avoid neighboring for fear of getting tangled up in the messy lives of others. Jesus gladly entered into the mess to love people right where they were, and He calls us to do the same.

The #1 obstacle to neighboring well is time. If we're not careful stewards of this valuable resource, we miss opportunities to partner with God in what's He's doing right next door!

Jesus said we are to love God and love our neighbor. This is the Great Commandment. Pastor Mike unpacks the Parable of the Good Samaritan as we begin our series on The Art of Neighboring.

Exiles are, by definition, on the periphery...on the outside. Yet God has called us to lead. What does that look like? Find out as we wrap up the letter of 1 Peter...

God's Word promises Christians that we will experience suffering in this life. What is suffering? Why does it happen, and how can we handle it in a way that honors Jesus?

Many people come to church on Easter without fully understanding the significance of what we celebrate. Join us as Pastor Mike walks us through the redemptive narrative to give context...

The theme of running a race is all through the Scriptures. God calls us a long-distance endurance race, not a short sprint. How are you running, and will you finish well?

One day, every person will stand before Jesus to give an account of his or her life. On that day, will you have a clear conscience? 1 Peter 3 gives us some essentials as we continue in our series: EXILE

God's Word tells us that we're exiles and strangers here on earth. But what does exilic living look like at home? Pastor Mike shares from 1 Peter about marriage that brings honor to Jesus...

As beings made in the Image of God, we are hardwired to REFLECT image...if not His, then something else...What are you reflecting?
