Ever been tempted to cut an ethical corner to get ahead? Doing something you knew you shouldn’t to get what you wanted? The siren song of ill-gotten gain sounds good, but is doomed in the end. Over it, the shout of Wisdom rings out, “Listen up! And I will show you the way to true life."  More info https://www.ebc.org or call (609.267.4755), email ( office@ebc.org ), DM us on Instagram or Facebook,...

How much should I work? Is it wrong to make a lot of money? Who should I marry? How do I raise my kids in a world like this? What about when someone hurts me? What priorities should I have? How do I become better at life?  Life is complicated. Today we live in a world that requires us to navigate new and ever evolving challenges at home, in our families, at work, in our neighborhoods, and beyond....

There’s an evolution that happens for every parent. When you first meet your child, they’re perfect (at least, in your eyes). And then, one day, you discover they’re not nearly as perfect as you want. They talk back, rebel, and make bad decisions, sometimes with serious consequences. But helping our kids mature isn’t a matter of chasing perfection, but of helping them progress one degree at a time...

There are so many decisions, so many questions, so many landmines, that you have to help your child navigate as a parent. School, extra-curricular activities, technology, social media, peer pressure, college, dating, homework, hobbies, friends, culture, siblings, church & faith, schedules, the list goes on and on. Your best option? Prioritize character over control. More info https://www.ebc.org o...

EBC Worship and Recovery Pastor Steve Johansson shares from Psalm 84 that life is full of journeys and pilgrimages...and that we can find our way through them when we grow closer...and stay close to God.

At the conclusion of Exodus, we learn that Moses and the Israelites have completed construction of the Tabernacle. But the Tabernacle’s completion is really just the beginning of the Israelites journey into the wilderness toward the Promised Land.

The Apostle Thomas–“Doubting Thomas”–famously didn’t believe those early reports of Jesus’ resurrection. He had to see Jesus in the flesh before he would believe (just like the other disciples!). Almost two thousand years later, we can’t see Jesus in the flesh, but his challenge and invitation to us remains the same: believe.

Have you ever tried to stop a story from spreading? Maybe it was embarrassing or potentially harmful? But for whatever reason, you wanted to make it go away.  In John’s Gospel, despite the best efforts of the religious leaders to prevent its spread, Lazarus’ resurrection story takes on a life of its own. And as his story spreads throughout the region, more and more people come to see this man, Jes...

“What does this greed and helplessness proclaim, except that there was once within us true happiness of which all that now remains is the outline and empty trace? Man tries unsuccessfully to fill this void with everything that surrounds him, seeking in absent things the help he cannot find in those that are present, but all are incapable of it. This infinite abyss can be filled only with an infini...

What does your home say about you? What story does it tell about who you are, what you value, who and what you love? Your home is a reflection of you, to some degree. In Exodus 25–31, God lays out his architectural plans for the home he wants the Israelites to build for him, called the Tabernacle or Tent of Meeting. And the story depicted in the Tabernacle is of God, bringing heaven to earth, comi...

Have you ever felt like you were set up for failure? In Exodus 24, the Israelites agree to do everything God had commanded them in the Ten Commandments, along with the book of rules that followed (chap. 20–23). But in reality, they would never be able to keep the law perfectly. Thankfully, their future wasn’t riding on their ability to obey, but on the God who sets us up, not to fail, but to disco...

Have you ever felt like you didn’t fit in? Maybe it was with a particular crowd or a particular culture at work or at school, but for whatever reason, you weren’t like everyone else. Instead of blending in, you stood out–perhaps awkwardly!–because you were different. Peculiar, by comparison.  By giving the Israelites the Ten Commandments, God was creating a community unlike any other in the Ancien...

Are you afraid to get too close to God? In Exodus 19 & 20, God gives the Israelites an incredible vision for their lives: to be God’s “treasure possession, a kingdom of priests and holy nation.” And to make them ready to fulfill that purpose, God invited them closer to himself, to hear him speak. But out of fear, they drew back.  Getting closer to God isn’t safe. It’s much safer to live off someon...

High performance teams, whether a sports team or a marketing team, always have synergy: multiple individuals working together to become greater than the sum of their parts.  Before the Israelites were ready to enter the Promised Land, they had to become more than just ex-slaves fleeing from Egypt, fighting for survival. They had to learn to live, work, and even fight together. Instead of individua...

When you’re in the wilderness, there are some basic rules for survival. Always know where to find water. Have enough food packed for the journey. Never panic. For the Israelites, however, the most important rule for survival was simple: trust God.

Thank You for joining our Music and Recovery Pastor Steve Johansson for the conclusion of our New Year New You series. Steve shares that The journey to New Life is similar to that of the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. New Life is available to us, but some are happy to continue crawling around eating leaves, when God offers us the ability to fly! God wants us to live an abundant l...

Living isn’t for the faint of heart. Rushing from one thing to the next, unable to keep up with it all, can sap you of strength and leave you with barely enough energy to keep going. But where our strength runs out, God provides an endless reservoir that lifts us out of the moment and into the clear blue sky of hope.

Today, right now, there is an all out assault on our souls. The level of carnage in the sheer number of lives being slowly crushed by discouragement, apathy, addiction, stress, anxiety, and depression is staggering. And yet, most people are blissfully ignorant of the threat because it’s felt as an absence: a lack of meaning, purpose, and significance, too anesthetized by endless entertainment and...

You might not realize it, but you are a skilled cartographer (that’s someone who creates maps). Maybe you’ve never drawn a literal geographical map, but from the time you were born, you’ve been creating and utilizing a mental map to filter information, interpret new data, and generally make sense of your world. It’s the framework through which you see and understand the world. But when you give yo...

What’s your heart like? Is it healthy? Hard and calloused? Broken? How about, unwieldy? They say the heart wants what the heart wants, good or bad. But how much better would your life be if your heart only wanted what was good?

You are not who you’re supposed to be. Not yet, at least. The first step to becoming who you’re meant to be–your true self–is to recognize that there is a version of you that is possible. The “you” God wants to set free. The new you.

Have you ever thought you knew someone–really knew them–only to discover later they weren’t who you thought they were? Maybe it was someone you idolized or someone you trusted, only to be disappointed. In this famous passage, Isaiah tells of a king who would come to bring lasting peace and hope to the world. But unlike the many others who can never live up to our expectations, this king never fail...
