In these parables, Jesus tells us to count the cost of discipleship. As usual, what Jesus means goes far deeper and accords with reality in ways that surprise us.

This week we continue our series Decoding Devotion. Pastor Kee speaks from Luke 11, "On Prayer."

This week Pastor Kee gives part two of his message "Serious Fruit" which he started last Sunday.

Pastor Kee is back and we continue on with our Decoding Devotion series. In this message, we uncover Jesus' meaning in the passage of the Vine and the Branches found in John 15:1-17.

In a combined "pulpit swap" effort with Vibrance Church, we are joined by a special guest speaker, Joel Kim. We're thrilled to be joined by one of ECO's newest church planters and a special friend to many of us here at New Mercy Palisades Church!

Pastor Kee uncovers the meaning behind the parables of the hidden treasure and pearl.

Jesus teaches devotion is childlike at its heart.

We are blessed to be joined by Pastor Esther Yang. Today's passage looks at a vision Jesus gives to John, showing him the multitude of the 144,00—the ones who have remained faithful to Jesus to the end. This vision informs us not only what is to come, but also how we as believers are called to live in discipleship today. We are reminded that as people who belong to the Lamb, we bear the Name of Jesus, that we have been purchased by His blood, and that we are now called to live in purity and worship.

Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit not as virtues to strive for, but as the natural overflow of a life rooted in the Holy Spirit. The Christian life is not about pursuing fruit in our own strength, but about pursuing God Himself. True spiritual fruit grows not from striving, but from abiding.

Simple devotion is also a single-minded devotion. Learn what that means as we look at the life of Jesus.
