Me To You

Gene LeForge & Eric Wing

From focusing on ourselves to focusing on others
We love as he loved because we love with his love.

The Steps We Take

Gene LeForge, Scott Palmiter, Eric Wing

Hope Is The Anchor For Our Soul

Scott Palmiter & Eric Wing

Why do we need an anchor for our soul?  What is your soul anchored to?

Hope When We Cannot See

Gene LeForge & Eric Wing

Life does not always go as planned.  How do you find hope when you cannot see the future?

The Lost Sheep

Gary Wieber & Eric Wing

The Story of the lost sheep is a story Jesus told to people just like us to change our perspective about the Kingdom of God and to help people more clearly see the love of a Savior.

Forgiveness

I was blessed to be able to preach with my friend Pastor Nick Clark.

In the life of a believer, there is room for I can't forgive, but there is no room for I won"t forgive.  Let's consider the path of forgiveness that allows us to arrive at undescribable peace and freedom - let's forgive.

Strength In Weakness (Who Is At Your Table?)

As we look at how so much of faith seems upside down, we consider the upside down truth of strength in weakness as we look at the phrase from Psalm 23 "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies."   Who is at your table?

Thanks for listening.
Pastor Eric

Run The Race

What a great Sunday to preach with both Pastor Scott and Pastor Gene.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
—Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV


Thanks for listening.
Pastor Eric

A Bad Reflection

Wearing a mask gets in the way of living life.  “If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.” —1 John 1:8 (NIV)

Getting rid of our mask allows us the freedom to not just be honest, but to be His.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. —Hebrews 4:13 (NIV)

I enjoyed being able to preach with my friend Pastor Nick, thank you for listening to this message.

Always A Way Out

I was happy to be able to preach with Pastor Nick about temptation and the truth that there is always a way out.

Temptation is anything that promises satisfaction at the cost of obedience to God.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
—1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (NIV)

Thank you for listening to this message.

Wisdom To Discern

In the series Divine Direction, I was able to preach with Pastor Gene LeForge on seeking wisdom to discern, learning from both good and bad decisions how we can pursue God's wisdom as He offers to lovingly lead us through the decisions of life.  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
—Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

Thank you for listening.

Richer And Fuller

In our Life Well Done series I had the privilege of preaching with Pastor Gene LeForge that a richer fuller life is available when we take part in Turning to God, Knowing God & Abiding in God.  Thank you for listening.

Picture Perfect

I had the blessing of preaching with my buddy Pastor Gene LeForge as we began our series Picture Perfect.  The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
—1 Samuel 16:7b (NLT)

An Empty Vessel

I love being able to preach with a good friend and my lead pastor, Pastor Gene LeForge.  Learning to be an empty vessel is worth the work, but it's surprisingly harder than I would have guessed.  Thank you for listening to this sermon and considering how you could take steps to become the person God has imagined you to be.

What A Year

I had the great blessing of preaching with Pastor Nick Clark as we looked at stepping into a new year

Pour Out Your Heart

I got the privilege of preaching with my buddy Pastor Scott Palmiter on pouring out our heart.

Thank you for listening.

1557 Victory

1557 Victory is ours IN Christ. I had the privilege of preaching with Pastor Nick as we began our series 1557. Thank you for listening.

Pastor Eric

Word Of God Speak

During our Word Of God Speak series, I was privileged to be able to share in a message with Jeff McGraw and Gary Wieber some parts of scripture that have become important points of our journey. Thanks for listening.

Understanding Credit

I'm very thankful for the opportunity to begin our new series "Credit Score" with this message - Understanding Credit. God needs you to know that you are seen, you are known, you are loved, you belong, you too can receive forgiveness and the spiritual credit score of righteousness.

One Nation

I had the opportunity to start our new series Under God, with the message called One Nation.  Thank you for listening.

Whole Heart

God doesn't want to be number one on your list, God wants to be the center of everything on your list.  I was able to share with Pastor Gene for week 2 of our series Whole Heart.  Thanks for listening.

Below is the video of how the series and the art for the series came to be.

Laying Down Our Right To Be Offended (Don't Honk At Miss Abbie)

I was blessed to be able to preach the message "Right To Be Offended" during our Altar Ego series; Becoming who God says you are.  Forgiven people, forgive people.  This week we lay down our right to be offended.  Thanks for listening and sharing.

Thank you for listening.

Encouragement And Kindness

I had the privilege of kicking off our series called Relationships.  I spoke on how real God sourced encouragement is life transforming, and how it is part of what God desires in our relationships.

Everything that matters to God hangs on love.  Relationships are everything in the Kingdom of God

Thank for listening.

Anna

I was privileged to be able to preach during our Christmas series "What Are You Waiting For?" on Anna from Luke 2:36-38

Set Free From Fear

I am thankful for the opportunity I had to preach in our series Set Free.  Once we know the freedom God has for us we need to walk in ways that maintain our deliverance.  I believe the key to doing this is to feed our faith and starve our fears.  We do not pretend that fears do not encroach upon us, but we intentionally choose to stop feeding them so that their growth in our life is limited.

  

Feed your faith and starve your fear - there is freedom from that.  Thanks for listening.

Pastor Eric

The Right Field

I had the privilege of preaching about Ruth and Naomi in our series "Good Better Best". Sometimes we get a glimpse of God's best in moments that we don't work towards but we just happen upon.

 (Ruth 2)  One day Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go out into the harvest fields to pick up the stalks of grain left behind by anyone who is kind enough to let me do it.” Naomi replied, “All right, my daughter, go ahead.” 3 So Ruth went out to gather grain behind the harvesters. And as it happened, she found herself working in a field that belonged to Boaz, the relative of her father-in-law, Elimelech.

 Am I in the right field?
 When we are in the proximity of God we begin to be in the place to experience God’s best.

 Am I in the right field?  Thanks for listening

Pastor Eric

Blastus & Crispus

I got to preach in our series "Somebodies . . .Nobody Knows" about two men in the Bible that are only mentioned a couple times; Blastus and Crispus. Blastus was selfish, Crispus was not. Being selfless is a supernatural attribute that changes the atmosphere for good. Be like Crispus, not like Blastus.

Dangerous Prayers: Search Me, Show Me

Prayer does not align God with me, prayer aligns me with God.

During our Dangerous Prayers series, I had the privilege of preaching with my buddy Pastor Scott Palmiter.  We looked at Psalm 139:23-24 as a Dangerous Prayer that could be the catalyst for tremendous life transformation.  Thanks for listening.

23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
—Ps 139:23-24

Access

We wrap up our Echo series with the message Access.  The echo of Easter offered us the gift of access to God through Jesus Christ. Access means intimacy, not just benefit.  It was a great privilege to preach with both Pastor Scott and Pastor Gene in this message.

Thank you for listening.

Eternal Hope

Eternal Hope is an indication of certainty, a strong and confident expectation of what we believe to be sure.  In this message I get to preach with my friend Pastor Gene, thank you for listening.

Joy

The echo of new life rings forever.  Every life made new in Christ echos in eternity.  I was blessed to preach with my friend Pastor Gene, thank you for listening.

Incarnation

In our Miracle Effect series, I had the opportunity to preach with my friend and lead pastor, Pastor Gene.  In studying the Incarnation of Christ we asked the question, What is the value of the presence of God?

Thank you for listening to this message

Creation

In our Miracle Effect series, I had the privilege of preaching with my friend Pastor Scott.  We were encouraged by the idea that Yesterday's miracles still affect today's story.  Thank you for listening.

Vivid Faith: The Journey

Vivid faith doesn’t promise an answer, Vivid Faith shows the way.

Marriage and Relationships

This is the first message from our series Vivid Faith.  I am thankful for the chance to preach on how Vivid Faith guides and informs our marriages and relationships.

Our initial attraction, our first feeling of love is like a spark - a spark grabs our eyes but doesn’t help us see in the dark.  We can spend the rest of our relationship looking for that spark - when as believers we have been offered the light of the world, vivid faith that sees in the dark -we could try to find that spark again, which many do in the darkness - or we could follow the light of the world by which we no longer have to walk in darkness.  The goal of a relationship is not to recreate a feeling we once had. The goal of a relationship is to recreate and reflect the love of God.

Thanks for listening

Highly Favored

“The mistake we so often make is thinking that God’s interest and care for us waxes and wanes according to our spiritual temperature.” - Eugene Peterson

I’ve made this mistake often, and I’m guessing many of you have too.  What we see and what we feel can never change God’s interests and care for us.  We all need to be reminded of this truth and encouraged to live in it.  The ebb and flow of our emotions and circumstances vary greatly from days of ease and comfort to days filled with struggle and discouragement.  God’s favor does not ride the waves of our emotions or circumstances.  God’s favor for you flows from His love expressed in His promise to never leave you or forsake.  Favor is the promise of God’s presence accomplishing His presence in and through your life.

Identity Theft

I got to team preach this series on Identity Theft where we looked at the the truth that our identity crumbles when we build it on anything that changes.  God taught Pastor Scott and I a ton as we worked through this series together.  Thanks for listening and for sharing these messages with anyone whose spiritual identity has been stolen.

Identity Theft: Our identity crumbles when we build it on anything that changes.

Being New

It was a personal blessing to team teach this series with Pastor Scott Palmiter and with our conference superintendent Brad Button.  In this series we explore the life application of what it looks life to live all of life being made new in Christ.  Can we actually be made new or this just spiritualized idealism? Thanks for listening.

Being New - Kindness part1
"May we love the person and trust the Holy Spirit" - Superintendent Brad Button

Being New - Kindness part2
When we are being made new, Godly kindness becomes part of who we are

Being New - Speak Truth part1
For believers the question is not, what is truth, the question is who is Truth?

Being New - Speak Truth part 2

Lord, we submit our tongues to you And we believe in faith that even now as we ask you to fill our mouths with words that are: True, necessary, and beneficial. You will do it Amen

Being New - Speak Encouragement part1

Believers who are being made New are being transformed to speak encouragement.

Being New - Speak Encouragement part2

To speak encouragement we must first receive encouragement from God through worship, His Word and prayer

Being New - Taking A Gossip Fast

Gossip is anytime we tell someone else's story with no intention of loving them.

Being New - Taking A Complaining Fast

Complaining is anytime we tell our own story with no intention of bringing praise to God
