Ecclesia Houston episodes

November 25, 2019 Wilberforce & The Work Unfinished
Sarah Seabrook continued in a recent series considering the lives and
callings of important figures in Christian history, leading us through the
journey of British politician and abolitionist William Wilberforce. Slavery
and injustice remain a heartbreaking reality in our world, and until that
is no longer the case, we cannot tire of our part in God’s movement against
them.

November 11, 2019 Power & Love
Pastor Sean Palmer continues our series exploring the lives and wisdom of
important figures in Christian history, sharing what he has learned from
the example of Henri Nouwen as he examines our relationship to power. Power
sought or abused will never satisfy. It is in giving up our love of power,
and taking on the power of love, that we become people that humbly give and
receive rather than those who tirelessly grasp.

November 04, 2019 The Gospel, Church, and Culture According to Lesslie Newbigin
Pastor Chris shares wisdom and insight from missiologist, theologian, and
pastor Leslie Newbigin which changed his understanding of the church and
have been invaluable in shaping the ethos of Ecclesia. The Gospel is good
news for everyone, calling us into the culture to share it; not to cling to
the supposed “safety” of our own religious circles. God’s mission is
everywhere, and you are called to be a part of it.

October 28, 2019 You Are A Priest
Pastor Chris Seay asks us all to consider both our shared calling, and the
beautiful and unique forms through which that calling is expressed. Your
vocation is sacred, and is a part of God’s mission. We hope that the
message Chris shared will be of comfort and encouragement to you this week.

October 20, 2019 The Power Of Our Stories
Pastor Sean offers up the redemptive works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky and shares
insight into the power of our own stories. When we know and share our
stories with others, it changes the way we engage with those around us.
32 min
October 13, 2019 Hope In Our Storms
Ericka Graham shares insights from from the Book of Jonah. The tiny book in
the Hebrew Scriptures has the potential to change the way we engage the
world around us, giving us the capacity to see God in everything and
everyone we encounter.

October 07, 2019 Broken Together
Pastor Sean Palmer shares a critical word from the Book of Acts and the
teachings of Jean Vanier. Community is messy, and it is vital. We need one
another.

September 30, 2019 Imagination
Our beloved brother Scott Erickson invited us to consider prayer, images,
and identity. What will seed, grow, and flourish in the fertile space of
that imagination? How will we participate in “the way” rather than
submitting to what lies “in the way” of our continued call to be the
enduring presence of Jesus?
42 min
September 23, 2019 Bonhoeffer and our Life Together
Pastor Chris Seay continues our series considering the lives of important
figures throughout Christian history. The faithfulness and sacrifice
modeled by Dietrich Bonhoeffer show us who the Church is called to be in
the face of bigotry and injustice; a call to embody a faith of courage and
empathy.
