Echo Church Online Messages

We’ve been watching the tension grow between Jesus and the religious leaders of the day. Today we’ll see in John 8 what pushes Jesus to give some of his harshest critique—and reflect on our own responses when conflict pushes us to action.

Today we are excited to have Kendra Dunahugh, one of our Echo Church Leadership Team members, bring us our message.

John 7 is all about an annual party in Israel: a week of worship, food, flowing water, and sleeping in tents.

Jesus arrives incognito but later makes a splash. He’ll transform a festival that remembers the past and, instead, he’ll point people toward their future.

Join us to find out why no one can agree on what to think of him. And come away with a challenge to plan your own remembrance and offering of gratitude this season.

When we see a spectacle—like the big game that’s on tonight in America—we are fully aware that, in one way or another, it’s all trying to sell us something.

Today in John 6, we’ll see a spectacle, a miracle, that Jesus is involved with. Actually, two. What’s the message he was sending? Can we trust Jesus not to sell us something?

We’ll examine where we are on the spectrum of faith and also consider how we grapple with even the most unbelievable aspects of God.

If you’re a video game fan, do you mainly focus on the endgame, or do you immerse yourself in side quests?

Today we’ll be reading John 5, considering two conversations Jesus had with folks who played the game of life from two different perspectives. Jesus demonstrated that he cares about us holistically—bodies, minds, and souls—both in the present, as well as eternally.

Have you ever truly loathed a person? In Jesus’ day, some people in his community were known for absolutely loathing other groups. How did Jesus respond? He shocked people by having one-on-one conversations with those who were loathed.

Jesus’ example in John 4 offers us five things we can do to make sure we offer a loving rather than loathing reputation as we represent Yahweh in our own communities.

What questions about faith keep you up at night?

Join us in John 3 today as a prominent religious leader seeks out Jesus with questions. The conversation leads Nicodemus to reevaluate the things he thought he knew about God.

Jesus intentionally dropped clues, spoke in symbolism, and cloaked his words in a bit of mystery that took a while for people to figure out. This challenge drew people in and remains engaging today—helping us to make our faith our own.

Join us in John 2 today, as we head with Jesus into two celebrations and figure out what he intended with his wild words and actions.

Do you choose a word of the year? Today we begin the first Sunday of this new year with a word. Actually, with THE Word:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” —John 1:1

Everyone has an opinion about God. What’s real? God once dwelled on earth as Jesus. So let’s dwell in Jesus’ life story for a while and find out his purpose, his truth, his love. Let’s let him show us who Yahweh truly is.

Join us on our Scripture study of the book of John.

We’ve arrived at the final week in our study of Hebrews. Thank you for joining us throughout this season.

Hebrews closes with a list of wisdom for the first century followers of Jesus—and great reminders for us still today. Along the way we’ll recap some repeating messages we’ve heard throughout the entire letter.

How do we reconcile the reverence & relationship inherent in Yahweh’s holiness? Join us for our penultimate week in Hebrews.
