Ecclesia Houston episodes

April 16, 2018 Eucharist & Reconciliation
It's always a deep blessing to be joined and taught by our brother, Gideon
Tsang. Gideon shared a message on the ways we cling to judgement and
keeping score, and in doing so, forget the very nature of Jesus' definitive
act of reconciling love for all people, and our call back to the table
which serves to remind us.

April 09, 2018 Church At The Ballpark
Pastor Chris Seay shares a message from the home of our World Champion
Houston Astros; casting vision for the season ahead, and the opportunities
we have to cultivate and deepen relationships as we provide hospitality and
invite others into the stories that God is writing in our midst.
35 min
April 02, 2018 Easter Sunday: Our Silent Sisters
Pastor Chris Seay offers an Easter message from Magdala on the Sea of
Galilee about the vital roles of women in the Resurrection narrative. What
do the experiences of Mary the Mother, Salome, and Mary Magdalene have to
teach us about strength in trauma, the support offered by women in our own
lives, and our call to pass on our stories of faith? We're also joined by
writer/speaker Amena Brown, who shares a story of an important woman in her
life, and the profound gift of her spoken word poetry.

March 26, 2018 Exodus For All: Impact & Impression
Pastor Sean Palmer continues our Lenten series as we begin our walk through
Holy Week, teaching about the ways we've allowed the world to twist our
definition of success. Like Moses, we are consumed with comparison and how
we're viewed by others; more concerned about seeming impressive than we are
with simply being faithful to what God has placed before us.

March 19, 2018 Exodus For All: Spiritual Amnesia
Pastor Chris Seay continues our Lenten series with a message about our
forgetfulness. As we return to the Eucharist, tell our stories, and mark
our lives and surroundings in remembrance, we are reminded of God's
unfailing love and deliverance.

March 12, 2018 Exodus For All: The Meaning Of Free
Pastor Sean Palmer continued our Lenten series in the story of the Exodus
with a crucial word on freedom. We're not made to be free from every
restraint; but when we accept the invitation to hold God above all, we open
ourselves to experience true liberation from the powers that corrode our
souls and keep our lives in bondage.
36 min
March 05, 2018 Uncommon Unity
Guest preacher Nancy Ortberg shares a much needed word on the unique
witness of the Church in a divided world. When we truly embrace our unity
in and under God, stop comparing, and simply serve one another, lives are
transformed in ways that we can never predict or anticipate.

February 26, 2018 Exodus For All: Runaway Slaves
This week, Pastor Sean Palmer continued our Lenten series in the story of
the Exodus. Like the Israelites in this story, we find ourselves enslaved
to lies and habits versus being uncomfortable. From scriptures, we find
rejoicing in the news that Jesus gives us the option towards freedom versus
slavery.
39 min
February 19, 2018 Exodus For All: I Can't Make You Love Me
Pastor Chris Seay continued our Lenten series in the story of the Exodus;
sharing an important and heartfelt word on God's desire for intimacy with
us. We've been raised to merely follow rules, when what God truly wants
from us is relationship
44 min
February 12, 2018 Exodus For All: Stockholm Syndrome
Pastor Chris Seay begins a conversation that we pray will guide us through
the upcoming season of Lent. How might the weeks ahead be for us an exodus
from the pharaohs that have taken hold of our hearts and lives?
