The ECC Podcast

As followers of Jesus Christ we occupy a unique place of influence with our Father in heaven that enables us to "stand in the gap" for those who need to know Him.

We all have a place of influence in the world around us, it is up to us to make the most of that opportunity.

Jesus sent his disciples on the greatest mission of all time, to share the wonderful message of God's redemption to everyone. We have the honor of continuing this mission!

We form an idea of what evangelism is in our minds that can prevent us from sharing the good news with others. This message will help debunk some of the myths about sharing Christ with others.

Gaining biblical perspective in an intense election season.

Did you know that Jesus is introduced in all four Gospels as "the one who baptizes you in the Holy Spirit? This message looks at the summary statements in scripture that state why Jesus came and then traces his methods of training his disciples how to carry on his work after he left the earth. Our mission today is not only to announce the good news of the Kingdom but also to do the deeds that Jesus did including healing the sick and casting out demons.

We at Ephrata Community Church are about to spend the week hosting "The Sending"-- a mission conference with dozens of representatives from around our nation and the world. It is one of those weeks where we will receive inspiration as we hear of amazing things that God is doing. We will also hear of the challenges we face as we partner with God in those endeavors. Whatever the outcome, a week from now, we don't want to be so impressed by what others are doing, or so overwhelmed by the need, that we don't know what we can do to help. Together we will explore what we can do as everyday individuals when we find "the world on our doorstep."

We need to value and honor the Word of God for the treasure that it is.
