Ecclesia Houston episodes

September 28, 2020 The Big-C Church
Pastor Chris Seay offers us a vital reminder of the great diversity
exemplified by the early church. Especially during this cultural moment of
such toxic division, followers of Jesus are to live into a different
narrative, shaped by curiosity and open-mindedness, loving grace for those
with whom we disagree, and the elusive hope of unity.

September 21, 2020 A Cup Filled, A Cup Poured
Pastor Chris Seay invites us to consider how we are called to live into the
rhythms of Jesus in both giving and receiving care. Especially at a time in
which the needs of our neighbors are so vast and so many, we ask God to
meet and guide us in our particular places of heartbreak. May God help us
to be vessels of grace, filled to then be shared in loving care of others.

September 14, 2020 The One Who Is With
Pastor Sean Palmer asks us to consider the call of the Great Commission at
the end of the Gospel of Matthew in light of the peculiar limitations of
this season. Wherever we are sent or called to dwell, the gift Jesus gives
and invites us to embody is presence.

September 07, 2020 Empathy Responds
Pastor Chris Seay teaches once again from the church-site of our friends in
Lake Charles, Louisiana as we continue to respond in care for our neighbors
in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura. As we are reminded in the story of
Nehemiah, empathy calls us not to draw back while others are suffering, but
to take action while leaning into relationship.

August 31, 2020 More Than We Can Handle
Pastor Chris Seay teaches from Louisiana as we seek to respond in care for
our neighbors in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura. God never promised that
we wouldn’t be given more than we can handle. Instead we are called from
temptation and idolatry to rely ever more on God, and on one another, in
all that overwhelms us.

August 24, 2020 What Do You Want?
Pastor Sean Palmer teaches from the story of healing at the Pool of
Bethesda in John 5. Our desires are not inconsequential or insignificant to
God, but it is when we ask and allow God to transform our wrong desires
that we discover the right ones, that those desires would result in
choices aligned with God’s will.

August 17, 2020 Left Undone
Pastor Chris Seay leads us to consider our understanding of sin, and
particularly sins of omission. Where have we failed to act; to ask, give,
fight, and encourage in the ways that God has called us? We can either let
guilt to become shame that keeps us stagnant, or allow it to urge us toward
seeking forgiveness, restored relationships, and transformation.

August 10, 2020 Distractions
It is always a great joy to have a visit from our friend and brother, the
incomparable Bob Goff, and we are grateful for the encouraging word he
brought to share. When we see through the distractions, we are granted the
opportunity to grow in genuine interest for those around us; which is the
first step toward love.

July 26, 2020 Prayer Prepares
We are grateful to have been joined by our brother Jarrett Stevens, sharing
a beautiful and needed word from Joshua 3 on prayer as our participation
toward the movement of God that is already happening. Are we simply
waiting, or are we intentionally moving in the direction we are asking God
to move, trusting that he is already preparing upstream what is flowing to
meet us as we pray expectantly and act in faith?
