This historic property contains the most beautiful and peaceful setting anyone could ever wish to live; and yet it is the place of suffering, difficulty, and war. Sounds like quite the contradiction doesn’t it? In this whimsical and powerful two-part message, Eric Ludy talks...

There are certain passages in Scripture that prove difficult for most pastors and teachers. The book of 1 Corinthians is no exception. Paul’s epistle often becomes divisive in the areas of liberty, law, marriage, prophecy, women’s role within the church, head coverings, and speaking in tongues. What are we as believers to do with such passages. In this revealing study on First Corinthians, Pastor...

A 2 Part Sermon Series Let’s be honest – we live in a world where there are endless baits for irritation, frustration, and anger.

In this two-part message, Eric Ludy asserts that irritation is actually good, but it is how irritation is handl...

A 2 Part Sermon Series Euaggelion is the Greek word in the New Testament for “the Gospel.” Yet too often in the Church today, our understanding of what the Gospel is – is like reading a new language – aspects and words look familiar but we don’t know what to do with it. The Gospel is a central theme throughout Scripture and as Christians, we should know it and be able...

A 2 Part Sermon Series “Novice” is not a term we naturally gravitate toward in describing ourselves. We prefer “mature,” “experienced,” or “diligent”—just not novice. However, to become a great leader, a novice needs a proving season—a time of preparation, training, and transformation. Using David, the shepherd boy turned king, as an exam...

Scripture is forthright in telling us that generosity is central to the Christian life. Far more than just giving money, generosity is to declare and evidence the Gospel within our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Eric Ludy shares seven principles for Kingdom giving and shows that true generosity has a proper Scriptural attitude: hilarious cheerfulness. If you usually cringe when the topic of giving...

A 2 Part Sermon Series What is prayer? Sure, we can give a quick answer from what we learned in Sunday school, but how is saying a quick blessing before our meals different than God-honoring, heaven-shaking, earth-changing prayer? As Christians we too often glide through our day without thinking about the tremendous opportunity and command we have to pray. So what is prayer? In this two part serie...
