Elm City Church Podcast

This week we looked at 2 Timothy 2:8-14 and saw that those who remember what God has done and cultivate the memory of his great work on their behalf will live for his glory. There is a direct link between our understanding and remembrance of what God has done for us and our passion in living for him.

Join us as we look at  2 Timothy 2:3-7, examining Paul's metaphors of the soldier, athlete, and farmer that illustrate the sacrifices and rewards of following Jesus. Discover why Jesus is worthy of our devotion and why every struggle in His service is truly worth it.

Tune in as Steve talks about the Golden Rule from Matthew 7:12

Join us as Paul discusses "The Primer Prayer" from Matthew 6:9-13

Tune in for a message from Dan Syvertsen from Psalm 143 called "Look Up Child"

Tune in for a Father's Day Message about how a Father's job is to teach, give guidance, and give and be an example.

2 Timothy 2:1-7 So often the Christian life can feel like being asked to do things you can’t do. Listen in as we talk about how through the power of God’s grace, God makes us who we are not. Paul’s call to Timothy to “be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus” is the same call that goes out to us. 

2 Timothy 1:8-14 What is the gospel and what is our responsibility to it? Tune in and find out! 

Do you ever find yourself anxious and afraid to let others know you are a Christian or to stand for the Gospel? Listen in to our teaching on 2 Timothy 1:8-10 as we explore how to be confident in the Gospel. 

2 Timothy 1:1-7  So often we settle for something far short of what Jesus has on offer. Listen in this week as we explore the fullness of life on offer in Jesus.

This past Sunday we looked at the background of 2 Timothy and learned about Timothy’s story. Timothy was greatly impacted by the message of the Gospel, the power behind the Gospel, and the conviction of the Gospel messenger. God’s call is still going out to Timothy’s today. 

Listen in for a message about the significance of communion from 1 Corinthians 11

Matthew 4:18-20 What did Jesus mean when he said, “Come, follow me”? Listen in as we explore what it means to be a disciple or an apprentice of Jesus. Our mission as a church is to “Practice the Way of Jesus Together” and this message will help you understand more what that means.

This past Sunday was a re-cast of our 2024 vision. All throughout the Scriptures we see examples of God providing reminders for people because we are so prone to forget. In light of that we are taking a week to remember what we believe God is calling us into this year. Our 2024 vision is “Knowing Jesus and Making Him Known.” We are praying that we will see 50 people come to a saving relationship w...

Have you ever wondered how Jesus responds to us when we fail? Listen in as we look at the story of Peter’s failure and redemption recorded in John’s Gospel. Instead of discarding Peter, Jesus healed, redeemed, and recommissioned Peter. The beauty of this story is that it is not just about Peter, it’s also about how Jesus responds to us when we fail. 

Ever wonder how Jesus feels when we doubt? Listen in as we look at the story of Jesus and Thomas in John 20. Doubt can be a healthy part of our faith journey if handled well. When you find yourself doubting one important question you need to ask is, “Do I want this to be true?” 

This year's Easter message explores the power of Jesus' Resurrection, not just as a one-time event, but a continual reality for the life of a believer. Justin explores the universal problem of sin and how it separates all of us from God while highlighting Jesus' sacrifice on a cross and how it offers hope, breaks the power of sin, and provides a chance for a new beginning for all wh...

On Sunday we looked at John 12 as a way to answer the all-important questions of, “Who is Jesus?” While there may be no shortage of opinions on this question today, the writers of the New Testament and Jesus himself make it very clear that he cannot be labeled a mere man, a good teacher, or just a prophet. His words and actions on Palm Sunday show he believed he was the Christ, the long-awaited Me...

This Sunday, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day with Irish music, and Albie shared the story of Saint Patrick.

This past Sunday, Justin finished part two of a message series on generosity. We looked at "3 Biblical Postures in Financial Giving" from the pattern of several church plants in Macedonia from the New Testament. From 2 Corinthians 8:1-9, we learn that because of the immeasurable grace of God, followers of Christ are free to give generously as an act of worship and expression of the heart...

2 Cor. 9:6-8; Matthew 6:19-21; Col. 2:13-14 Giving can be a tricky topic in church. Listen in as we discuss how giving to the local church is primarily an act of worship for followers of Jesus. How we use our financial resources can act as both a thermometer and a thermostat to set the temperature of our hearts.

Ephesians 6:18-24 One key theme that is seen all throughout the book Ephesians is that action flows from identity. How we view ourselves often dictates how act. The final label that Paul gives himself is an “Ambassador in Chains.” Listen and discover what it means for you to own your identity as an ambassador for Christ.

This past Sunday, Justin continued our Ephesians series by looking at "The Full Armor of God." Listen as we explore the imagery of spiritual armor when it comes to taking a stand against the enemy of our souls.

Ephesians 6:10-13 Did you know that you have an enemy that wants nothing more than your ultimate destruction? Sounds intense but it’s true. Listen this week as we learn about the schemes of the one the Bible calls “the devil” and how his goal is to get you to believe lies so you miss out on the truth that will set you free.

How should your faith impact how you work? Listen in as we take a look at Paul’s instructions to masters and servants in Ephesians 6:5-9 and see how it applies to us in our modern context.
