The ECC Podcast

By grace alone, we've been raised to new life – a spiritual life with God's purposes prepared for us. In this message, Fred will lead us as we look into the passage of Ephesians 1:15 - 2:10 and we'll dive deeper into God's calling and explore what this life together in Christ could look like.

What does it mean to be spiritual in a world focused on material success and personal fulfillment? In this message, Dan will start off this series on "life together" from the book of Ephesians. We’ll explore what does it mean to be "spiritual" in the real world and how this relates to our lives together.

Aaron Leggo shares his love of cinema by exploring the creative connection between God and movies.

This Sunday will be our last time to hear from Ken.  But, there’s a twist: it won’t just be Ken.  In true ECC fashion, there will be a few others teaching during the service and you’ll not want to miss out on their wisdom. Ken will close with a challenge to have the faith OF Jesus.

We are all being shaped by something—our culture, our habits, our priorities. But Jesus invites us to be shaped by His teaching—and then to help shape others in turn.
This week, Mariel will lead us as we look at the Rich Young Ruler, the Great Commission, and what it means to let Jesus form us so we can live as disciple-makers in everyday life.

What comes to mind when you think of being a friend of Jesus? Does it feel comforting, or maybe a bit too casual? After all, He is the Creator of the universe. Perhaps it feels more fitting to only call Him King, Saviour, or Son of God instead? And yet, in John 15:12–15, Jesus does something radical: He calls His followers friends.

In this message, Luke explores what it truly means to be called a friend of Jesus, how that reveals the depth of His love for us, and how He calls us to love others with that same sacrificial love.

Andrea Fruhling explores the story of Jesus calling the first disciple (Luke 5:1-11), discussing the power of walking alongside others with intention and responding to God’s invitation to go deeper. We are invited to notice, trust, and respond to God’s calling in our lives, learning to listen more deeply and see ourselves and others the way God sees us.

How can homemaking reflect God's character?

In this message, Elaine will talk about metaphors in homemaking that help us see God in our daily chores. One of the main metaphors is the rich imagery of "washing", "cleansing", and "purifying." Our cleaning chores help us to see more deeply the spiritual reality that God too desires to cleanse us and bring us back to a restored and renewed self. Even in the mundane, God can be seen.

What if someone in your family does not follow God? Maybe it’s your child, your parent, your sibling, a niece or a nephew – perhaps even your spouse? What’s that like and what is God up to in those situations?
In this message, Mark shares some of his own personal family experiences and explores how one can reflect God’s grace amid spiritual differences in our homes.

Probably the biggest source of metaphors for God is from the world of our life/work roles. This includes roles that are paid (e.g. jobs) and unpaid. No one life/work role encapsulates all that God is, so He points to a wide diversity of roles that bring forth His attributes.

An understanding of this wide diversity of life/work roles that God chooses to call Himself will show God’s people that we are to see our life/work roles as ones that can reflect the living God.
