Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the penultimate message in our study through the life of Joseph. Everyone wants to be well-remembered. But what if that's not what God wants from us? That's not to say we don't strive to live a remarkable life, we should! But as we read about the end of Jacob's life we see what a divinely-led legacy looks like and how we are led to leave it.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next lesson in our walk through the life of Joseph in Genesis. When a London journalist confused Mark Twain's cousin for the famed writer, Twain said, "The report of my death was an exaggeration." As Jacob's sons described the death of their brother to the second most powerful man in Egypt, Joseph may have felt  the same. How would Joseph's wild revelation impact the lives of his family? We find out this week as we read Genesis 45:1-28.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues to lead us through the life of Joseph. It's easy to think that maturity is a destination. Learn our lessons and life is smooth sailing after that. But our growth is far from linear and our lives are full of new challenges. We see the difficulties of, and joy sin, this reality as we see Joseph's brothers attempt to leave Egypt in Genesis 44:1-34

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg launches us back into our study of the life of Joseph in Genesis 43. Even from the peaks of our lives we cannot escape the reality that we are broken in our humanity. We are constantly confronted by our failures and limitations. But even in these moments – especially in these moments – we are reminded of God's grace, mercy, and provision. The interaction of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 43 shows us just how deep this reminder can be.

Pastor Ron Eckberg delivers his farewell message and teaches the final sermon of a 3-week series on Moses' life. 

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us in the next passage through the life of Jospeh. Last week we talked about how great it is to enjoy the peaks of life and how important it is to remain faithful through them. But, once again, we're reminded that the valleys are important too. That's because, not only do they have lessons to teach us, but they are actually blessings from the Lord. As odd as that may feel to say, we see this reality displayed in Genesis 42:1-38.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us back into our study on the life of Joseph, "Peaks and Valleys." We know that there are many lessons we draw from our defeats. But it's still fun to win, isn't it? But it's what we learn from defeat that helps us to respond with humility and grace in victory. Joseph shows us how righteousness in our valleys can lead to greater joy when we reach the peaks.

Pastor Ron Eckberg shares a special Father's Day message.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us in the next chapter of Joseph's life. Wisdom is highly valued by every culture and in every situation in the world. And yet, not all that is seen as "wisdom" is created equal. In Joseph's interaction with Pharaoh and his court we see true, divine wisdom at the forefront and see the magnitude of its power. It's a great lesson for why we must always choose God's wisdom over any power of this world.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next lesson in our series, "Peaks and Valleys." To this point, Joseph's story seems to be a series of successive valleys, each feeling deeper and darker than the last. But in Genesis 41 we see how his faithfulness puts him right where God wants him when divine opportunity arises. This week we discuss how we imitate Joseph to be ready for the work God has in store for us.
