Your path to Jesus might look different than another’s journey. Whether you met Jesus in your second-grade Sunday School class or in a jail cell on your fortieth birthday, the important thing is that you met Jesus. There are many different journeys to Him, but He is the only way to eternal life. Today Pastor Eddie reminds you that eternal life is serious because not all will enter into it. The cho...

When we face challenges, we often find ourselves wishing for the days when things were easier. Whether it’s stress at work, church, or in your family, it’s easy to find yourself wanting to go back. The Israelites wanted to go back to their captors, Egypt. Here in Hebrews, the believers found themselves wanting to go back to the Old Testament rituals. Today Pastor Eddie encourages you: don’t go bac...

Babies aren’t born talking in full sentences. In fact, they can’t even make any sounds that resemble talking. They have to slowly build their vocabulary. First with babbling, then with individual letter sounds, next words, and finally sentences. They have to mature in their speech, building on the first foundation of simple babbles. Today Pastor Eddie reminds you that the foundation of your faith...

Living in a developed nation in the 21st century means that we don’t lack any resources it takes to learn about God. Books, podcasts, radio programs, commentaries, and even Bibles are available 24/7. We don’t lack the ability to know about God. But growing and maturing in our faith takes more than just head knowledge. Today Pastor Eddie encourages you to dig deeper into your faith and apply the kn...

Staying focused takes intention. When you are in a room filled with people all talking at once, you have to work to listen to one specific person. Or when your favorite song comes on the radio, you have to choose to focus on what your spouse is saying instead. Sometimes, we choose to focus on and listen to the voices that are in the world over the voice of God. Today Pastor Eddie encourages you to...

Humility is crucial for all Christians. Whether you’re a new believer, full of passion for your newfound faith, or decades into a journey of faith that’s put you in a position of leadership in the Church, you’re vulnerable as long as you walk in the flesh. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will encourage us to remain humble and acknowledge our need for accountability from our brothers and sisters a...

We’re so far removed from the religious system of the Old Testament that it’s hard to grasp the scope of what Jesus did on the cross. It took entire books to detail the complicated system needed to seek atonement through the blood of animals. And even then, it was all just symbolic. No one was actually saved by the blood of an innocent lamb. Today, Pastor Eddie will help us understand the incredib...

Temptation is not a sin. It’s when you give in to those unholy desires to serve yourself that you’ve sinned against God. That can happen on a physical level, but it also happens on a mental and spiritual level. That’s where even the most faithful believers still falter. As Pastor Eddie will point out in today’s message, you can be extremely disciplined in following God’s law, but there will always...

The uncertainty of life and even more so, death, plagues the lost in this world. Life is just as unpredictable for believers in Jesus and hardships come just as much, if not more, for those who follow Him, but we aren’t subject to the same fear. As Pastor Eddie will remind us in today’s message, we know that death is just a transition from brokenness to wholeness and glory in the presence of our S...

The ways God works and the reasons He works are beyond our capacity to understand. At times He heals people in miraculous ways, while other times He seems to ignore the afflictions of His most faithful servants. While we may not understand with our limited perspective, even when He doesn’t answer our prayers exactly as we wish He would, Pastor Eddie will remind us today that we need to trust that...

No human being is exempt from the temptation to sin. All of us have experienced the disappointment of finding out that one of our spiritual heroes has fallen into sin and sullied their reputation. All of us have fallen ourselves. The higher up you are on the ladder and the greater your responsibilities, the farther and harder that fall is. Today, Pastor Eddie will remind us not to place our trust...

To believe something means to be sure that it is true! It is giving our trust and our hearts to something. In our relationship with Christ, belief may be the most critical aspect of it all. Why? Because if we do not BELIEVE, we do not have Jesus Christ in our lives. Today, Pastor Eddie will be talking to us about the dangers of unbelief. The Bible tells us that it is impossible to please God witho...

If someone were to tell you that they could lift up an airplane with their pinky finger, you’d probably look at them like they’re crazy. However, if that same person said that and proceeded to do so in front of your very eyes, you would no longer doubt them. Now that’s a silly analogy, but today Pastor Eddie will talk about how even though the nation of Isreal saw God perform miracles right before...

You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again - TODAY - IS - THE DAY! It’s a verse out of a Psalm most of us are familiar with, but do we truly recognize the emphases that are put on the word, “Today?” Pastor Eddie is going to be reminding us in his message that we are not promised tomorrow. Being alive and hearing me right now is a miracle in itself. We must stand firm and really dive head-firs...

Think back if you can do a birthday party you had as a young child. Yes, people were there because it was your 4th birthday, but when they left they didn’t thank you; they thanked your parents! Why? Because they are the “master of the house” in this situation. Today, Pastor Eddie is going to be talking about a very similar concept on a much larger scale. Jesus Christ is the Master of our lives; th...

Jesus tells us that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. This may be something that you’ve heard countless times, but I think it is important to note that it doesn’t say that He’s “one of the ways, one of the truths, or one of the lights.” No, He is THE only way, truth, and light. Today Pastor Eddie will be talking about how Christ is the only bridge between man and God. No other being or powe...

Most of us would all likely agree that the only truly Holy person is Christ Himself. In the same way, we would also say that He is the only truly righteous one. Well today, Pastor Eddie is going to explain to us that when we have Jesus, we also carry the holiness and righteousness that He has. God tells us that because He is Holy, we too are to be Holy and that because He is righteous, we too are...

All of scripture is one long love letter from God. Today, Pastor Eddie is going to share one part of that love letter with you! God is love-sick over you, longing to be with you! And He has been telling the story of His love over and over all through history. In the garden, He came to be with Adam and Eve. He came as a baby in a manger to be with His people. And now He is preparing a place for you...

In today's message, Pastor Eddie is making his way through the book of Hebrews. This book is all about how and why Jesus is better than anything else! Right now, Satan has the deed to the earth, but one day very soon Jesus is going to overwrite that deed. He earned the right to it when He shed His blood for you and me! He is greater than the angels. He's greater than priests or prophets or kings....

Next time you look in the mirror, remember this Psalm of David. David said, “What is the man that you are mindful of him?” The truth is we aren't anything on our own, but we are loved by God. So when the mirror tells you things you don't want to know, turn your eyes instead to Jesus. He loves that person in the mirror! He is looking at you with the eyes of a proud papa. In today's message, Pastor...

Are you anchored in the word of God today? Do you spend time soaking in His presence? The truth is, it's easy for us to drift away. We allow other things to take precedence over our relationship with Christ. We might even think to ourselves, “It's only for a season.” But there are no off-seasons for following Jesus! In today's message, Pastor Eddie is going to remind you and invite you to spend mo...

When is the last time you noticed how close to or far away from Christ you have become? Think back to when you were first saved. You couldn't get enough time spent in worship and the word! You were in church every time the doors were open and you would tell your story to anyone who would listen! How does that stack up against your current state? In today's message, Pastor Eddie will help you check...

The writer of Hebrews takes the time to warn those early Christians not to drift away from the gospel they had heard. Why would he need to warn them of that? Because it's possible to drift away! When you grow careless in your walk with Christ, you can easily drift away from the truth of the gospel without ever noticing the growing distance. In today's message, Pastor Eddie is going to share the sa...

David owned his own sin in that Psalm. Have you ever done that? When you're caught in a sin, do you try to make excuses? Blame someone else? Or do you acknowledge the depths of your own problems and the greatness of your need for a Savior? The good news is that you have a Savior available to you! All you need to do is own your sin and ask for His forgiveness. Accept the sacrifice He made on the cr...

When was the last time you listened to the birds singing God's glory? Or watched a tree wave its branches in worship to the one that created it? When you stop and look and listen, it's easy to see the whole earth praising God! And even beyond this earth out into space! Next time you see the stars, remember that you, too, were created to shine for the glory of God! In today's message, Pastor Eddie...
