March 19, 2023 The Sabbath and Busy Culture
In American culture we wear busyness and productivity as a badge of honor.
Laptops and cell phones mean we are connected and available 24/7. But this
is not how we are designed to function; in fact, God calls us to regular
rest and reflection.
On this 4th Sunday of Lent, in a season focused on caring for our souls to
prepare ourselves for celebration of the resurrection and the coming of
Jesus, join us as Sean and Rochelle Palmer share with us about how to
engage with the celebration of Sabbath, a holy day of rest.

February 28, 2023 Partnering with Iglesia Para La Frontera
Join us for an special episode of The Ecclesia Podcast as we share stories
and insights from our recent trip to Colombia where we met with our friends
at Iglesia Cristiana Para la Frontera. Pastor Chris and Pastor Ramon sit
down with HR Director Cassie O'Haver to discuss the transformative work
that God is doing on the Colombia/Venezuela border through our partnership
with this incredible ministry.
Over a decade ago, the people of Venezuela were thrown into chaos, and the
mass migration of Venezuelans created a new set of challenges for the
already struggling country. But in the midst of this chaos and devastation,
God was at work, providing a glimmer of hope embodied by our friends at
Iglesia Cristiana Para la Frontera. Our team shares their experiences of
traveling to the border, meeting the pastors and team at Iglesia, and
witnessing firsthand their tireless efforts to provide food, shelter,
medical care, education, and most importantly, hope for those most
vulnerable at the Colombia/Venezuela border.
Through this episode, you'll hear stories of resilience, faith, and
community as we explore the transformative power of community and the ways
this partnership makes an impact both internationally and at our home in
Houston. Join us as we step boldly into God's purpose for our lives and
learn how you can get involved in supporting this incredible ministry.
Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired and encouraged to make a
difference in the world around you. If you haven't already, please watch
our video from this past Sunday that highlights some of the stories we
heard during our time with our friends at Iglesia para la Frontera. You can
