June 25, 2018 Children Of Wonder
Our guest and dear brother, Dave Gibbons, joined us to share a word of
profound encouragement about our identities as image bearers of God and
those called to sacrificial service. From thoughts on freedom, fatherhood,
healing, and the Holy Spirit, Dave invites us to embrace the power granted
to those in Christ.

June 18, 2018 Inigo Montoya And The Folly Of Revenge
Pastor Chris Seay invites us to consider what the Sermon on the Mount and
The Princess Bride teach us about the great challenge of loving our
enemies. Jesus calls us to end the cycles of anger, violence, and
retaliation in the world; laying down vengeance in favor of the kind of
forgiveness and blessing that can transform our communities, relationships,
and our own hearts.

June 11, 2018 Incognito King
Pastor Sean Palmer taught on the "Hero's Journey", and what Batman has to
do with spiritual formation. God has given his people a call to action and
to discipleship; modeled to us by a Savior who came to us incarnate in a
most unassuming and unremarkable form.

June 04, 2018 To Write Love On Her Arms
This weekend, we had the honor of hearing from Jamie Tworkowski, founder of
To Write Love on Her Arms. Jamie shines a spotlight on mental health and
our call to freedom as children of God. We were created to be free and this
freedom includes the freedom to be honest about where we are at in our
journey.

May 28, 2018 Turning Grief Into Action
Pastor Chris Seay calls upon all in our Ecclesia family to serve in some
particular ways as we continue to grieve with all those touched by the
shooting at Santa Fe High School. We are called to respond as those covered
in the grace and mercy of our Savior, to transform shame, especially in the
lives of young people in vulnerable circumstances.

May 21, 2018 Rescued
Guest preacher Ines Franklin shared a powerful message following our Exodus
series and the tragic killings at Santa Fe High School. In times of trial,
we often forget our rescue. In remembering, we are re-centered in the hope
and endurance that sustains us through trauma and grief.

May 14, 2018 Two Sides Of Freedom
Pastor Sean Palmer concludes our Exodus series by asking the important
question; once we have freedom, what do we do with it? Will we use our own
freedoms to oppress others, or use them to contribute toward the freedom of
those still held in all manner of bondage? Will we continue to sing of what
God has done?

May 07, 2018 Land of Queso and Baklava
Pastor Chris Seay closes our series in the Exodus as we examine how we can
miss out on life by hardening our hearts to God. When we allow our lives to
become routine, we do not stop to mourn or celebrate and we lose empathy.
Our call to action is to rely on God daily, pursue daily adventure, live
well, chase our passion and feel the joy & pain of others.

April 30, 2018 No Whining In The Wilderness
Pastor Chris Seay continues our series in the Exodus; reminding us of the
importance of a grateful heart and the danger of an ungrateful one. When we
focus on what we don't have and complain about what we do — like the
Israelites grumbling over meat and manna — we undermine our faith in God's
wisdom and provision. Our call is to receive with a joyful spirit; reminded
that God knows, better than we do, what it is we need.

April 23, 2018 Exceedingly Good
Pastor Sean Palmer returned to our ongoing series in the Exodus. He
invites us to consider the excuses we make and the ways we settle for just
"good enough", when God is calling us to more; the true promised land that
can only be entered when we're willing to commit through the inevitable
hardships along the way.
