ECB Sermon Podcast

What is keeping you from trusting God’s Word? Join us as Pastor Pablo continues Walking with God: Reflections from a Pastor’s Heart. Discover why the Bible is trustworthy and why it is the sure foundation for walking with God.

We live in a world where opinions often replace truth. But God has given us His trustworthy Word so we can walk in truth. Let Scripture shape your faith, guide your steps, and anchor your life. Will you trust His Word today?

Has the brokenness of this world begun to wear you down? Join us as Pastor Pablo continues the series Walking with God: Reflections from a Pastor's Heart. Discover timeless biblical truths that will strengthen your faith and help you walk with God in a broken world.

We live in a broken world, and we all carry wounds. When we forget that, we can become resentful toward God, drift from our faith, or begin to see ourselves as victims. But Jesus offers a better way. As we turn to Him in repentance and hope, He heals our hearts and gives us the strength to finish the race faithfully. Will you trust Jesus with your wounds?

Is life moving so fast that you've lost sight of what truly matters? This week, Pastor Pablo begins a new series: "Walking with God: Reflections from a Pastor's Heart."

Join us as we explore timeless biblical truths and personal reflections that can help us walk with God through every season of life.

Life is brief, but eternity is forever. When we live with an eternal perspective, our priorities become clearer, our hope grows stronger, and our hearts find peace. Are you investing your life in what will last forever?

What is forgiveness for? Is it simply about letting go, or is God inviting us into something even greater? Join us as Pastor Phil Holcomb concludes our Forgiveness: The Oxygen of the Kingdom series by exploring God's work in our lives from rupture to repair and His invitation to become peacemakers.

God's goal is not simply forgiven people, but restored relationships. We invite you to discover how God invites us to participate in His work of repair.

How do we find freedom from the bitterness that can quietly take root in our hearts? Join us as guest speaker Dr. Craig explores Romans 12 and shows how the way of Jesus frees us to forgive while trusting God with justice.

Freedom begins when we release our offenders from our system of justice and entrust them to the perfect justice of God.

Why is forgiveness so difficult, what does it truly mean, and how do we find the strength to forgive? Join us as Dr. Craig invites us to look to Jesus, Who paid our debt and empowers us to extend the same grace we have received.

Forgiveness begins by contemplating Jesus' grace and mercy towards us - the power that provides us with the grace needed to forgive others. Because we have been forgiven much, we are invited to forgive deeply.

Forgiveness sounds like a beautiful idea… until someone deeply hurts us. This week we invite you to join us as Pastor Phil Holcomb begins a new sermon series: "Forgiveness: The Oxygen of the Kingdom". In Part 1, we will discover why Jesus taught that forgiven people forgive, and how the cross gives us both the courage and the freedom to release the debt of guilt instead of carrying it.

Forgiveness isn't pretending the debt doesn't exist. It is choosing to entrust justice to God because we have first received His extravagant mercy.

This week, we are privileged to have a guest speaker who will be wrapping up our series “Living Life with the Holy Spirit,” with Session 8: The Comforting Presence. Dr. Nelson Estrada from Asia Biblical Theological Seminary will deliver a message on how the Holy Spirit, as the Comforter, enables believers to endure suffering and hardships alongside empowering us with boldness, wisdom, and divine authority as we fulfill God’s calling to proclaim the Gospel.

The Holy Spirit was never promised to take away our trials, but to walk with us through them. Just as the disciples in Acts were transformed from fearful and inadequate followers into bold witnesses, so we can be strengthened to endure whatever suffering comes our way. The Spirit turns pain into testimony, weakness into strength, and persecution into proclamation. So let’s not pray for escape but for empowerment—that our endurance may shine as a living witness to Christ’s love and power.

Are you experiencing spiritual oppression? Join us as Pastor Pablo continues our series, The Presence: Living Life with the Holy Spirit. In Session 7, we will discover how the Holy Spirit empowers us to overcome spiritual opposition and walk in the victory of Christ.

Following Jesus does not mean you will never face spiritual opposition, but it does mean you never face it alone. The Holy Spirit lives within you, and the authority of Jesus is greater than every power of darkness. Stand firm in the faith. The One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

To commemorate World Refugee Day at ECB, we’ll explore the theme: Belonging Begins With Hospitality.

We’ll discover how God’s hospitality changes lives and how Christ welcomes strangers, forms disciples, and sends His people into the world. Together we’ll reflect on a simple but powerful truth:

Hospitality creates belonging.

Belonging creates becoming.

Becoming leads to being.

Being leads us to welcome others.

God welcomes undeserving people into His family. Christ welcomed us, transforms us, and sends us into the world to welcome others. Because Christ made room for us at His table, we make room for others in our lives.
