The ECC Podcast

In this message, Dan will finish up our series on Small Moments, Big Impact as we consider Holy Interruptions in our lives, including the greatest Interruption of them all, the miracle of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Most of us have been taught that making a difference means going big, but what if Jesus measures impact differently than we do? This week, we look at one of the strangest episodes in Jesus' ministry, a cursed tree, an overturned table, and a kingdom that values faithfulness over flashiness. Things that looked impressive on the outside turned out to be dead on the inside, and the moments nobody noticed ended up changing everything.

Could we be mistaking busyness for fruitfulness or religiosity as saving faith? Join us as we continue our series, Small Moments, Big Impact, by looking into the story found in Mark 11:12-25.

On his final journey to Jerusalem, Jesus heals a blind beggar named Bartimaeus. Jesus declares it was his faith that saved him. What marks of faith did Bartimaeus display? And what can we learn today from the faith of a blind beggar who encountered Jesus one day in Jericho 2,000 years ago? Join Mark as he explores Mark 10: 46-52.

Charlene explores the stories of two different people who desperately needed Jesus’ healing touch: First, Jairus who was wealthy and influential, and second, an unnamed woman who was poor and an outcast. This messages takes us back to this seemingly small moment when this woman who touches the edge of Jesus’ cloak experiences a powerful impact on her body, her faith, and her whole well-being. Jesus cares deeply for our pain.

Charlene will also share her personal story of Jesus’ love and compassion during her time of illness.

Luke explores chapter 1 of the Book of Ruth and uncovers the powerful theme of sacrificial and steadfast love woven through a story of suffering and uncertainty.

In the first message of our new series Small Moments, Big Impact, we step into the powerful story of a woman who breaks open an alabaster jar and pours out perfume worth a year’s wages on Jesus. What looked wasteful and unnecessary to others, Jesus called “a beautiful thing.”
In a world obsessed with big platforms and bigger results, this quiet, costly act of love reveals the heart of His upside-down kingdom. Together, we’ll explore how authentic worship isn’t about preference or comfort but about surrender and love compelled by the Gospel. What if the small, unseen moments of devotion in your life are the very seeds God uses for eternal impact? Come ready to be stirred and challenged.

What if the secret to the early church's explosive growth wasn't programs or strategies, but something far more radical? In Acts 2, after 3,000 people are added in a single day, Luke "pops the hood" to reveal the engine driving this movement: a community so marked by sacrificial love that the world couldn't help but ask, "What's going on over there?" In this message, we'll discover why you can't become like Jesus by yourself—and what it looks like when love gets real in community.

What does true biblical friendship look like? Can singleness be seen as a gift in the church? In this message, Sherah leads us as we explore these issues and learn how to be true friends to the single members of our congregation.

Rev. Dr. Raymond Aldred dives into the passage of Matthew 5:1-12 and discuss how Jesus redefines what it means to follow God's path in the context of neighborly love.

What motivates us to serve and share our faith with others? Are we duty-bound, or serving out of a feeling of guilt and obligation? Or have we found the wellspring of motivation that comes from true acquaintance with Christ-like love?
This Sunday, we'll have the privilege of hearing from Gatlin from the Daybreak Point Bible Camp team who will be sharing about what motivates them to serve the Lord on Anvil Island.
