Making Christ Known

In this episode, Pastor Eric preaches from Luke 10 about idols of the heart. There is only room for one lord in our lives. Is Jesus invited into the house of our hearts? Christ asks us to come, be still, and listen. What should come first: worship or service? Our hearts or our hands? Let God move and speak to you in this message from the life of Jesus.

In this episode, Pastor Eric brings a sermon centered around the Gospel of Christ. He preaches from Galatians and Philippians about the Biblical truth that salvation is by grace alone, with no addition of human merit. Salvation is centered on God alone, produced by Christ alone, gained through faith alone, and for God's glory. Let us be mindful to put our confidence in Jesus rather than our works as we know, follow, defend, and share the one true Gospel of Christ.

In this episode, Pastor Eric brings a message of the greatness, faithfulness, and trustworthiness of our God. God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-sufficient....therefore, we can trust Him.

Let us devote ourselves fully to our great God.

In this episode, Pastor Eric preaches from the book of Luke about the reality of both Heaven and Hell. He discusses Biblical truths about the afterlife and the importance of not minimizing evangelism in our Christian walks. Though worldly pleasures—health and wealth—are gifts from God, we must be good stewards of those while valuing our Lord above all. As you listen to this sermon, ponder the questions: Are you ready for death? Are you living for this world or the next?

In this episode, Pastor Eric preaches from the sermon on the mount in Matthew 6. We'll learn some of the worries we face in our lives, how to rely on God throughout those worries, and the faith believers have in future grace. Though most situations in life seem out of our control, we can rest assured in the sovereignty of God. As believers, we should not be mastered by our circumstances, but by The Master.

In this final episode of The Seven Churches series, we learn about the lukewarm church at Laodicea. God loves His people. but He must rebuke and discipline those who prioritize themselves over their Savior. This message serves as a reminder to passionately pursue godliness and holiness. Having apathy and complacency, and an unwillingness to admit it, can be fatal for one's Christian walk. If Jesus knocks, will we open up to Him?

In this episode, we look at the church at Philadelphia, a church who received blessing despite suffering. Pastor Eric covers Revelation 3 and the possibilities for the faithful church in spite of hardships. No matter how weak we may become, we should remember that Jesus plans our paths. Our fulfillment in Him makes the things of this world grow dim. Through Christ, we can find strength and power.

In this episode, we learn about the danger of not fully committing to the life of a Christian. Pastor Eric discusses the discipline and judgement for the church at Sardis in Revelation 3.

We should remain awake and watchful to evil and choose Christ over our sinful desires.

In this episode, Pastor Eric preaches from Revelation 2 about the church at Thyatira, the church whom God calls out for tolerating sexual sinfulness and idolatry. This fourth church in The Seven Churches series is an example of a Christian congregation who has loving, increasing service but tolerates sin and false teaching. Let us remember to not bend God's commands or abuse the grace that we have been given.

In this episode of The Seven Churches series, Pastor Eric preaches about the church in Pergamum from Revelation 2. This church experiences rebuke from God for compromising their beliefs. For Christians today, this message will help us remember that God is jealous for the total love, adoration, and commitment of His people. We reflect on this Biblical imagery: God's Word convicts us, a sword that cuts away our sin but brings us healing and opportunity for new life.
