Ebenezer Church Podcast

Due to icy weather, Pastor Glenn shares a devotional from home on the spiritual discipline of taking every thought captive. When anxious or negative thoughts arise, redirect them to prayer for others.

Jesus promises that believers will do the works He did, and even “greater works,” as we pray in His name and live on mission for the Father’s glory. This message calls the church from half-commitment into wholehearted discipleship and disciple-making, trusting God to work through willing people.

Jesus does not simply offer comfort. He calls people to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. This message explores the four calls of Christ: salvation, lordship, discipleship, and the Great Commission to make disciples.

As we begin a new year, Jesus' Great Commission calls us to move beyond addition to multiplication. Discover the four essential disciplines for growth and why the Christian life requires the Holy Spirit's power rather than human effort alone.

As we wrap up Christmas, we consider how the birth of the Messiah opened a new day for the people of God. Through Isaiah 11 and Romans 11, we remember we have been grafted in by grace, which calls us to humility instead of pride and unity instead of division. Jesus’ words in John 15 remind us that lasting fruit comes only by abiding in Him.

This fourth Sunday of Advent, we explore a "fifth theme" that Scripture demands: light. Drawing from John 1 and the Festival of Lights, we discover why transparency isn't optional for believers, and how bringing our hidden things into Christ's light leads to freedom and healing.

Pastor Glenn Hannigan preaches from Isaiah 12:1–6 in a message titled “Eternal Joy,” showing the difference between temporary happiness and the lasting joy that comes from God’s saving work. Drawing connections to Luke 10 and Acts 5, he reminds us that true joy is rooted in Christ and the assurance of salvation—something circumstances can’t take away—and calls believers to live with a Spirit-filled joy that becomes a witness to others.

In a world that feels anything but peaceful, Pastor Glenn Hannigan teaches from Philippians 4:4-7 that true peace isn't tied to circumstances. It comes from God's nearness. Bring every worry to Him in prayer and thanksgiving. Receive the supernatural calm that changes everything. Let go. He's got you.

This first Sunday of Advent is all about hope. Pastor Glenn takes us to Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:22–25 to remind us that God's promises are still good, even when the waiting is long. Hope isn’t about getting what we want. It’s about trusting the One who’s coming back.

Pastor Glenn Hannigan preaches from Colossians 3:14–17 in a sermon titled “An Attitude of Gratitude.”
