Ecclesia Houston episodes:

February 08, 2026 When Becoming Is Hard
What do you do when you want to be kinder, slower, and more loving, but
real life keeps getting in the way? In this message, Pastor Chris explores
why becoming the person we want to be is often harder than we expect, and
how the way of Jesus and the example of Fred Rogers invite us into a
different way of living. A practical and honest look at kindness,
generosity, presence, and choosing love in a hurried and divided world.

February 02, 2026 Friendship, Vulnerability, and Faith
What if loneliness isn’t a personal failure but a signal that something
sacred is missing? In this message, Pastor Chris explores why friendship
may be one of the most holy and necessary gifts God gives us. Drawing from
Scripture, cultural insight, and the life of Fred Rogers, this sermon
invites us to rethink vulnerability, presence, and what it truly means to
love one another well.

January 25, 2026 Neighborhoods, Not Empires
Pastor Chris contrasts the way of empires with the way of Jesus. Empires
move fast, promise safety, and rely on fear and force. Jesus moves slowly.
He notices. He draws near. He builds the Kingdom not through domination,
but through love at eye level.

January 18, 2026 What Are You Really Looking For?
Ericka Graham explores one of the first questions Jesus ever asks: “What
are you seeking?” Drawing from John 1 and the life and wisdom of Mr.
Rogers, Ericka invites us to slow down, get curious, and reconsider what we
are chasing in a loud, anxious world.
Rather than offering quick answers, Jesus offers his presence. Rather than
judgment, he invites questions. And rather than defining people by their
failures, he names them for who they are becoming.

January 15, 2026 When The World Is Too Loud
In a week marked by grief, fear, and overwhelming noise, Pastor Chris
reflects on what it means to stay human, connected, and curious when the
world feels too loud. Drawing on wisdom from Fred Rogers, Scripture, and
lived experience, this sermon invites us to name our feelings without
shame, resist the pull toward withdrawal and outrage, and move toward one
another with courage and compassion.

January 04, 2026 It's You I Like
What would change if we truly believed we are loved exactly as we are? As
we begin a new year, Pastor Chris invites us into a radically
countercultural way of living: resting in God’s love rather than striving
to earn it. Drawing from the life and presence of Fred Rogers and the
Gospel of John, we explore what it means to live as the beloved, to abide
in love, and to carry that love into our relationships with others.

December 28, 2025 Neighborhoods, Not Towers
As Ecclesia closes out 2025, Pastor Chris invites us to imagine the kind of
people we are becoming together in 2026. In a world shaped by division,
power, and isolation, this message asks a simple but demanding question:
what does it look like to be a truly good neighbor?
Drawing from the life and wisdom of Fred Rogers, the teachings of Jesus,
and the call of Scripture, we explore a posture of presence rather than
domination, participation rather than distance. From the Good Samaritan to
Jeremiah’s call to seek the peace of the city, this sermon reframes love as
an active way of life rooted in neighborhoods, not towers. This is an
invitation to live faithfully right where we are planted and to discover
how God meets us, and our neighbors, in ordinary places.

December 21, 2025 Loving All In Advent
Ericka Graham reflects on the candle of love and what it means to truly see
one another as God sees us. Ericka explores how love multiplies when it is
shared, how stories move us to action, and how faith calls us to run toward
people in their lowest moments rather than away.

December 14, 2025 A Lifestyle of Generosity
Pastor Chris explores generosity not simply as something we do with our
money, but as a way of life that shapes who we are becoming. From giving to
those we love, to caring for people we may never meet, to the quiet beauty
of anonymous generosity, we are reminded that God blesses us so that we
might be a blessing. True generosity loosens our grip on comfort and opens
us to joy, freedom, and deeper connection with others.
