Making Christ Known

In Daniel 3, we learn about how to act in a hostile culture that minimizes and persecutes Christianity. Pastor Eric reminds us to not expect the world to act like Christians. We're to become holy: set apart from the ways of the world. How committed are you to following God's will? Do you place Him above all else, regardless of the cost? We will always be tempted to bow down to other gods. Let us r...

Pastor Eric challenges us to live according to the call of the royal pri...

In this episode, Pastor Eric preaches from Luke 10 about idols of the heart. There is only room for one lord in our lives. Is Jesus invited into the house of our hearts?

In this episode, Pastor Eric brings a sermon centered around the Gospel of Christ.

In this episode, Pastor Eric introduces a series about the seven churches from the book of Revelation. He covers the topics of common grace and common judgement found in Revelation 2 and 3.
