Echo Grace Church Podcast

God reaches people in more than just the one hour we spend in a church building. He's working through His people in all 167 hours of the week. He does this in the break room, grocery store, or at the bus stop. Find the purpose He has for you in that time with the people around you, in this week's message with Pastor Jake Hackel.  

God's Church is so much more than going to a specific building for one hour each week. In this message, Pastor Jarrod celebrates what God is doing through Grace in the other 167 hours of the week.  

Pastor Jarrod wraps up this series in a special way. Check out how the season of your soul ties in with the elements of Communion in the series finale, Seasoned.  

After going through a season of winter, many people look forward to spring with great anticipation. It means the darkness is passing and new life is beginning. As Pastor Jarrod teaches us today, the same can be said for experiencing spring in our soul.

Some people love winter, for others it's dark and gloomy. As it is with the season, we can also experience winter in our soul. Pastor Jarrod uses the Psalms to help us navigate this difficult time in our life when it comes.

Most people associate autumn with change, with slowing down from the summer activities and settling into new routines, and with harvests. In today's message, Pastor Jarrod Jones looks at how God uses this season to prepare us for those seasons yet to come.

Just as God is in every season we go through physically, He is in every one we go through spiritually. Pastor Jarrod begins the series with the season of summer; the season of bright skies and fun.

Today, our news feeds are packed with cultural, political and religious tensions tearing our country apart. We know we are to love our neighbor as ourselves, but what does that look like, and who is our neighbor? Join Pastor Bill Kennon, as he looks at the story of the Good Samaritan for practical answers on how we can "Share the Love".

Togetherness is not something one thinks of as a result of taking a Sabbath, but today we learn that although we take time alone, we are never truly alone.

God created the Sabbath for our good.  Today's message shows what usually happens when we don't take time to slow down or take a break from our busyness? 

There are many people who believe  Saturday is the Sabbath and some believe it's Sunday.  Does it even matter? Find out in today's message with Pastor Jarrod Jones.

Rest. We all long to have some in our busy lives. Jesus called his disciples away to rest, and He does the same for us. Follow along in today's message, "Stay in Your Seat." We have much to gain by entering into His rest.

Sometimes the busyness of life can draw our attention away from God. We are called to serve as believers, but should it be at the expense of spending quality time with Jesus? Check out today's message and learn how to find true rest in our busy lives.

Our series wraps up with a study of verse 5 & 6 from Psalm 23 with Pastor Adrian Schoonmaker painting a picture of what it would look and feel like to be the guest of honor at a table prepared by Jesus Christ, as he explains how this Audacious Claim separates Christianity from all other religions in this message entitled "Overflow."

Heartbreak, brokenness, depression - every form of decay is a reflection, manifestation or foretaste of death. They come to rob, kill, and snuff out life and hope. When someone feels their only option to get out of the abyss is to give up, what comfort can they find from a world that romanticizes or even denies death itself? As we continue our series on the "Audacious Claims" of Jesus, Pastor Adri...

As a society, we are constantly subjected to social and inner turmoil. It's no wonder we look for peace from legislation, leadership, stress-management, medication and especially religion, but why do all of these prescriptions leave us wanting? As we continue our study of Psalm 23, Pastor Adrian Schoonmaker explores more Audacious Claims of Jesus in this message entitled "Rest."  

Psalm 23 is perhaps the most quoted in all of scripture, but when we say "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want," what do we mean? Will God give me everything I need to be happy and satisfied? In this message by Pastor Adrian Schoonmaker, we'll hear the answer Jesus gives as we start our new series Audacious Claims.

As David nears the end of his life, we see that even though God disciplined him for his sins, his faith never weakened. In fact, we learn in today's message that the severe consequences of his sin seemed to deepen his devotion for God.

Not making a clean break from sin through repentance will ultimately bring disaster into our lives, because God loves us too much to let us get away with it. As the story of David continues, we find him reaping the consequences of his decisions many years later.

As the story of David continues, we learn how we are to respond when confronted with sin.

After the death of Saul, David becomes king over Israel and quickly learns that it takes more than just a passion for God to experience true joy. Check out this week's message to see if this one thing is missing in your life.

As Pastor Jarrod continues the story of David, we see how God might use our circumstances and struggles to shape our lives for His glory.

Going through trials is a part of life. How you respond to the trial says a lot about your trust in God. David allowed the trials he experienced to strengthen his character and his faith in God. Will you do the same?

The Scriptures call David a man after God's own heart, even with his flaws and mistakes. In today's message, Pastor Jarrod shows us how, like David, we can be a person after God's own heart in spite of our own failures.

It is a high calling to be responsible for someone else. If you're a parent, you know how rewarding and challenging it can be. Whether you're a parent, or mentor, or friend, all of us can build up those entrusted to us. In this Father's Day message, Pastor Jeff Dueck looks at how God's word encourages us to carry others out of discouragement and into hope.
