January 18, 2026 What Are You Really Looking For?
Ericka Graham explores one of the first questions Jesus ever asks: “What
are you seeking?” Drawing from John 1 and the life and wisdom of Mr.
Rogers, Ericka invites us to slow down, get curious, and reconsider what we
are chasing in a loud, anxious world.
Rather than offering quick answers, Jesus offers his presence. Rather than
judgment, he invites questions. And rather than defining people by their
failures, he names them for who they are becoming.

January 15, 2026 When The World Is Too Loud
In a week marked by grief, fear, and overwhelming noise, Pastor Chris
reflects on what it means to stay human, connected, and curious when the
world feels too loud. Drawing on wisdom from Fred Rogers, Scripture, and
lived experience, this sermon invites us to name our feelings without
shame, resist the pull toward withdrawal and outrage, and move toward one
another with courage and compassion.

January 04, 2026 It's You I Like
What would change if we truly believed we are loved exactly as we are? As
we begin a new year, Pastor Chris invites us into a radically
countercultural way of living: resting in God’s love rather than striving
to earn it. Drawing from the life and presence of Fred Rogers and the
Gospel of John, we explore what it means to live as the beloved, to abide
in love, and to carry that love into our relationships with others.

December 28, 2025 Neighborhoods, Not Towers
As Ecclesia closes out 2025, Pastor Chris invites us to imagine the kind of
people we are becoming together in 2026. In a world shaped by division,
power, and isolation, this message asks a simple but demanding question:
what does it look like to be a truly good neighbor?
Drawing from the life and wisdom of Fred Rogers, the teachings of Jesus,
and the call of Scripture, we explore a posture of presence rather than
domination, participation rather than distance. From the Good Samaritan to
Jeremiah’s call to seek the peace of the city, this sermon reframes love as
an active way of life rooted in neighborhoods, not towers. This is an
invitation to live faithfully right where we are planted and to discover
how God meets us, and our neighbors, in ordinary places.

December 21, 2025 Loving All In Advent
Ericka Graham reflects on the candle of love and what it means to truly see
one another as God sees us. Ericka explores how love multiplies when it is
shared, how stories move us to action, and how faith calls us to run toward
people in their lowest moments rather than away.

December 14, 2025 A Lifestyle of Generosity
Pastor Chris explores generosity not simply as something we do with our
money, but as a way of life that shapes who we are becoming. From giving to
those we love, to caring for people we may never meet, to the quiet beauty
of anonymous generosity, we are reminded that God blesses us so that we
might be a blessing. True generosity loosens our grip on comfort and opens
us to joy, freedom, and deeper connection with others.

December 08, 2025 Why Less Is More This Christmas
"The dominant script of our culture is one of anxiety and scarcity. But the
story of Jesus is one of abundance, generosity, and enough." – Pastor Chris
This Advent season, Pastor Chris continues our Advent Conspiracy series
with a powerful message on spending less, not just to save money, but to
reclaim freedom, joy, and purpose.
Drawing from Philippians 4 and 1 Timothy 6, and layered with stories from
his own life, Pastor Chris invites us into a radical reimagining of
Christmas: one where we resist the pressures of consumerism, live with
margin, and give meaningful gifts that reflect the heart of God.

November 30, 2025 Transformational Advent
In this first week of Advent, we explore how the arrival of Jesus invites
real and often uncomfortable change. Through the story of Herod, the wise
men, and the themes of Advent Conspiracy, we are reminded that worship is
more than songs or rituals. It is the offering of our whole lives. Like the
baby in “The Luck of Roaring Camp,” the birth of Jesus disrupts our
patterns and reshapes our priorities. This sermon invites us to embrace a
season of transformation and worship fully.

November 24, 2025 Finding God in Our Pain
This week, Ericka Graham guides us through a heartfelt exploration of Psalm
22, the very words Jesus turned to on the cross, and reminds us why the
Psalms still matter today. With raw vulnerability and powerful
storytelling, she weaves together scripture, motherhood, Ruby Bridges, OCD,
and the search for belonging into one unifying truth: There’s a Psalm for
that.
