Eric Ludy Sermon Podcast: Church at Ellerslie

Most Christians recognize the Greek word “koinonia” which means fellowship . Yet this word means far more than potlucks, sitting next to someone in worship, or even praying for one another. In this sermon, Eric Ludy talks about this “sharing of the body” and how it is the extension of all God has shared with us. Not only will you understand the meaning of true koi...

The Christian life is not some passionless venture, rather, Christianity has a fire of affection for Jesus Christ and a zeal and fervor for truth. Simply, it is a life on fire. In this study on the church of Laodicea, Pastor Eric Ludy looks at Jesus’ statement that this church was neither hot nor cold but lukewarm. Using an incredible (and delightful) story given by Annie Wesche, a member of...

One of the paradoxes of Christianity is that the grand and glorious Cross is both a place of life and of death, a place of victory and of suffering. It is this Cross that all history hangs upon—the epicenter of history. In this message, Eric Ludy examines this epicenter and declares that it is Christ and Him crucified that must remain at the center of our lives. The secret to Chris...

In ancient Israel, during times of rebellion, the people set up high places as an alternative worship and to seek help and salvation in someone or something other than God Himself. Why would anyone ever build a high place? It is because they believed the lie that salvation is found in more than One Place—and in today’s culture we often do the same thing. High places today may not be al...

Does God really say “No”? Scripture tells us that whatever we ask in His Name, He will do; and as a result, many of us presume that we serve a “yes God” who always responds in the affirmative.

If you’ve ever struggled with receiving a “no” from God or presume He only answers with “yes,” this sermon by Pastor Eric Ludy wi...

How does the Christian life work and what is the Biblical secret to action? In this sermon, Eric Ludy examines the reality that Christians are called to action—to do something.

Christianity is not drab, dry, or dusty. In reality, Scripture tells us that Christians are to be incorrigibly cheerful and have a merry heart that does good like medicine and which gives a continual feast.
