What is the Biblical understanding and response to trials and adversity? In this guest message at Yountville Community Church, Eric teaches on where trials come from, what their purpose is, and our response. The main emphasis of the message is that you are equipped in Christ to overcome and conquer the adversity that comes in your life. Trials and hardship are NOT from God and this message gives y...

Do you know what happened to you when you gave your life to Jesus? Sure, you got saved to heaven and redeemed from the path to hell, but you also got transformed. In this message Eric covers the unfathomable truths in the Bible about our transformation in Christ and the new life we are able to live. This sermon was preached at Yountville Community Church in April 2023.

This is part 2 of a message series that began with the question, "How could a good God allow evil in the world?" This message is how to be victorious over trials and tribulations that come against you. Contrary to popular belief, God is not the author of your pain and trial. God is equipping you and calling you to overcome the trials in victory. Listen to this message to learn how to defeat what S...

One of the most vexing problems of the faith is explaining and understanding how a good God could allow evil in the world. If God is really good, how do we understand all the pain, suffering, trials, and tribulations in the world? Listen in to this message to hear Eric's Biblical insight.  Note to listeners -- sorry about the audio quality, this was an outdoor venue with poor recording. 

Perhaps the greatest lie ever believed in Christianity is the reason that Jesus had to die and who killed him. The conventional view is that Jesus was punished in our place for our sins by the Father. The theological term for this view is called Penal Substitution.  But is that the truth? Was Jesus actually punished in our place? This punishment paradigm is problematic for several reasons. Discove...

One of the biggest lies we believe about God is that He separates from us when we sin. We believe a Holy God cannot even look upon sin and therefore separates from us. We tear down the narrative many of us have believed from the Garden of Eden and then also seemingly proven on the cross when Jesus cries out, "My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?" Repair one of the most toxic lies you believe...

This session is from Epic Life Tahoe and the power of the lies we believe about God and how they kill our ability to have right, intimate, and powerful relationship with God. Our view of God more closely resembles the an angry and capricious God instead of a loving Father.  We included some of the Q&A from the group that followed. 

Christians don't know how to explain the pandemic, recession, political turmoil, wildfires, and civil unrest in light of God's nature. These are crazy times with the pandemic and Christians are missing the opportunity to be salt and light in a hurting world. If you want to live powerfully despite the pandemic, you need to know how to respond and understand God's good nature in the midst of a hurti...

This message is from William Jessup University where Eric Knopf shared on the greatest lie he ever believed — choosing between ministry or marketplace. Learn about Eric Knopf’s journey in pursuing both marketplace as a co-founder of a software company as well as leading the ministry Epic Life.  

This is part 2 of Eric's message on Stepping Into Your Spiritual Authority. If you want to live a powerful life that brings the Kingdom to every area of your life, you need to hear this message.  Jesus made available vastly more than what we even think is possible. How do we access that? Listen to learn how to develop yourself to be ready and available for what God wants to do through you.  

Many believers today are timid, insecure, and afraid. Rather than stepping out to be the hands and feet of Jesus, they have reduced their faith down to attending a service once a week. This is not how it ought to be. As people of God, it is our responsibility to bring hope, light, and healing to any situation around us.  In this message, Eric Knopf peaches on how to step into your Kingdom's author...

How do we reconcile the God of the Old Testament, who appears vengeful, violent and angry with the compassionate, loving Jesus of the New Testament? In this message, Eric outlines the supreme revelation of Jesus being the perfect revelation of the Father. 

What do you believe happened on the Cross? Was Jesus punished for our sins or was He creating a covenant of forgiveness? Eric preaches the second part of his series on how our view of God's character is built through the narratives we believe. He shares why the narrative that Jesus was punished in our place is not only harmful to God's character, but actually an unreliable interpretation. 

Who we believe God to be is the most important thing about us. In this message, Eric shares the story of our sin and separation and how we got it all wrong. Our modern day interpretation of the Father more closely resembles the GodFather than a loving father. We have believed that God's holiness demands He separate from us. But as we'll see, that couldn't be farther from the truth. Be sure to wait...

Jesus says that "the world is going to give you trouble, but I have overcome the world." This sermon is all about the unfair advantage that Christians have in this world because if you believe in Jesus and have received him as your savior, there is something inside of you that is equipping you to be better. Listen in to hear more about God's equipping over you, spoken by Eric Knopf—you don't want...

Tonight is Eric Knopf’s third and final message in his series on the Will of God. When it comes to suffering, Job is cited unanimously, more than any other book of the Bible. Christians everywhere will use the book of Job to try to prove that God is responsible for the suffering in our lives. This message reveals how the modern understanding of the book of Job is wrong. Eric’s message is Biblical...

Everyone references the Will of God, but very few people can cite a correct passage on the Will of God. In night 2, Eric takes you through every passage on the Will of God. If you want to know what the Bible says about the Will of God, listen to this.

For many Christians, The Will of God is the single largest question mark over their life. Perhaps you have prayed and sought counsel about God’s will, or maybe you’ve been told it’s mysterious and unknowable, maybe it causes you anxiety to think about. You may be surprised to know that many of the common sayings about the will of God are false and unbiblical. Tonight, Eric Knopf kicks off his 3 pa...

Charity shares her experience of coming to grips with the fact that she is meant for something more as well as some of the powerful affirmations she has spoken over herself to move her into a position of significance and br...

The biggest battleground of our time is within our minds. If the devil can influence your mind, he can influence your life. The problem is most Christians are tormented in their minds and have no idea it is even occurring. We believe our thoughts are our own. If the devil can convince us that all of our thoughts are our own, he can oppress us and convince us we are the problem. If you or someone y...
