Humility is essential to living as Jesus did. Pastor Eric teaches us today, that even when Jesus knew the hour of His death was soon to come, He was willing to humble Himself and clean the feet of His disciples. We too, must be willing to go above and beyond, so that we can share with others, the Love of Christ.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that you need to get yourself sinless before you can accept Jesus into your heart. Pastor Eric tells us today, that Christ wants us to come before Him as we are. He is not concerned with the dirt which we bring. He can, and will clean our sins away no matter how big or small they are.
We have the right to reject Christ. Pastor Eric teaches us today that we must be aware of hearts, for they can grow too cold, and reject Jesus's grace. Jesus offers us an eternity with Him, but to receive it, we must accept Him into our hearts. If an open wound holds you from Jesus, know that He can heal it, if you allow Him to do so.
Jesus has conquered the sins of this world, and the Evil one who once ruled it. At the cross He accomplished this. Pastor Eric teaches us today, that once Jesus resurrected, the opportunity for us to be right with God finally appeared. Now, all that we must do to gain an eternity with Him, is accept Christ into our hearts.
As Christians we have the ability to access the Holy Spirit and His abilities. Pastor Eric teaches us today though, that in order for us to truly receive all the fruits of the Spirit, we must ask for them. Make no mistake, the Holy Spirit is always active and has already influenced you, but to receive more influence, ask Him into your life.

With the right words and deeds we can trick our fellow man, into thinking that we are Godly. Pastor Eric reminds us today though, that we cannot trick God. God see's what is truly in our hearts. If your heart does not honor Christ, then He will not know who you are on your day of judgement. Allow Him in, and live life serving Him.
We should not be concerned with what mankind thinks of us. The only opinion which truly matters, is the opinion that God has of us. Pastor Eric tells us today, that Mary wiped the feet of Jesus with her hair. She was able to do this, because she understood who Jesus was, and that He should be the priority.
Though at times it may feel as if we are alone, the truth is Jesus sees our pain and is always with us. Pastor Eric teaches today, that after Mary's brother died, Jesus's heart broke for her. We learn from this that Christ understands our pains and longs to take them away from us. Trust in Him and He will mend all your wounds.
Christ offers each and every one of us eternal life. To receive it all we need to do is ask Jesus to be our Lord and Savior. Pastor Eric tells us today, that without Jesus we will surely die. The Lord wishes for you to enter His kingdom. Ask Him into your heart today to receive His peace, blessings, guidance, and salvation.
We seem to forget that Jesus has the power to do great and mighty things. Pastor Eric challenges us today, to have faith in the power and influence of Jesus. In your life, identify that which you believe to be impossible and ask for Him to help make it possible. You will be surprised what He can do, if you simply ask.
Are there parts of your life that you haven’t given full access to Jesus? Pastor Eric urges us today to adopt an attitude of humility to be exposed before God. If you’re clinging to something that needs to be given to God, can you loosen your grip and let Him begin His transforming power in this area?
Have you experienced hurt, abandonment, or rejection from others? If so, you might be tempted to see Jesus in this light, as we’ll hear from Pastor Eric today. However, Jesus will never fail us, even though people will. He’s the only One Who truly understands our deepest emotions. Will you trust Him with these?
At the heart of every one of us is the desire and need for authentic relationship. Today Pastor Eric warns us to be on guard against religious systems which are products of man and will come to nothing. Jesus offers you a relationship by allowing you to become a child of God, to know Him and be known by Him.
Have you lost your first love? Most importantly, our focus needs to be our relationship with Jesus and obeying Him. When works begin to take this place, our priorities are in the wrong order, as we’ll hear from Pastor Eric. When you learn to rely on the Spirit within you, He will empower you to do the good works you were created to do.
Are you confident in the changes Jesus has made in your life or embarrassed? Today Pastor Eric urges us to embrace the change Jesus brings to us because people will notice. We are a new creation and God has given to us the power of a testimony. Let the daily change He’s making in you speak loudly!
Is there a sin in your life you’ve been blind to? The man in our text today was physically blind, but Pastor Eric wants us to realize the seriousness of being spiritually blind. Sometimes we don’t even know that we’re blind and we need our eyes opened. If we’re hard of heart, Jesus can heal us of this. Are you willing to be changed?
Did you know you have a special work designed for you TODAY if you’re in Christ Jesus? God has made all things and people for Himself and He has a purpose for everyone, as we’ll hear from Pastor Eric today. Life with God is an adventure because God’s glory will be revealed in the good work He has prepared for you!
Do you wonder why you still struggle with sin even though you have received Jesus as your Savior? Today Pastor Eric reminds us that we’re completely forgiven when we accept Christ, but then the process of sanctification begins. Sin traps have been disarmed, but we need the Spirit to continue cleaning out our lives.

Many of us would be confused if someone were to tell us that we were both free and in bondage at the same time. However, it's important that we understand the difference between physical freedom, and spiritual freedom. In today's message, Pastor Eric teaches us about the ultimate freedom that only Christ can offer.
There's nothing more exciting than a brand new adventure, especially when that new adventure is Christ. However, there are plenty of us that have experienced the “what's next?” right after our moment of salvation. In today's message, Pastor Eric teaches us what growth looks like in the Christian life for both new and long time believers.
Whether we care to admit it or not, each and every one of us has been quick to make judgement on someone or something. However, no matter how well we might perceive appearance, the heart is different altogether. In today's message, Pastor Eric reminds us that God is the only one who can know the state of our heart, and the hearts of others.
Many claim to either know God or have a relationship with God in some form or another. The important thing we must ask ourselves and those who make such claims is whether or not God is being glorified. In today's message, Pastor Eric asks us if our relationship with God is a mere proclamation, or if it truly brings Him glory on a daily basis.
Many are thrown off by the words of Jesus that state He will bring division. While many speculate over the exact meaning, it doesn't take much to notice the division that comes just by His name alone. In today's message, Pastor Eric teaches us about the spiritual tension that we naturally experience as followers of Christ.
Many of us take great interest in a wide variety of topics such as history, sports, science, and more. Whenever we want to learn more about them, we typically spend a fair amount of time reading or listening. But do we do the same with our Bibles? In today's message, Pastor Eric teaches us the best way to learn and hear more from The Father, is through His Word.
Pride truly is one of the most detrimental attitudes we can have as followers of Christ. Whether it's our achievements, our giving, or our ego, our pride only harms us as well as others. In today's message, Pastor Eric reminds us that as disciples of Christ our sole focus should be to glorify The Father, rather than ourselves.
The thought of someone you've never met before becoming a sibling is probably a strange concept. Whether we have a strong family background or not, we typically reserve calling someone a brother or sister for those of the same blood. However, in today's message, Pastor Eric teaches us about the family bond we have with believers in Christ.
Just about everyone can find things they like about Jesus, the same is true of Scripture. They take the teachings that fit within their world view, but choose to overlook those that conflict with their opinion of who God should be. As Pastor Eric teaches in today’s message, if we are going to truly accept Jesus, we have to accept all of Him.
There are many elements of our beliefs that are considered offensive in today’s culture. As Pastor Eric expresses in today’s message, while our goal shouldn’t be to offend, we need to boldly speak the truth in love. When offense is taken, we should lovingly seek the Holy Spirit and study Scripture to discern the truth.
