Hear weekly Sunday messages from Pastor Eric as he reflects on scripture and our world to cast a vision for—and invite us to live—a more just, generous, and authentic version of our faith.
In this message, Pastor Eric explores how communities throughout the Roman Empire--including Jewish and early Christian ones--were experiencing rapid and deep changes in their social, economic, religious, and political life. What did "faith in Jesus" mean amidst these massive transformations? What does faith mean for us today in the midst of our own massive national and personal seasons of change? How do we live through them in ways that nurture our souls and lead to growth, rather than anxiety-driven destruction? These are the kinds of questions Pastor Eric's message explores.

Choose Life: The Way of Repentance
In this message, Pastor Eric explores the story of Saul's radical transformation on the road to Damascus. Having previously sought out, persecuted, and even killed "People of the Way" (what followers of Jesus called themselves), Saul encounters the risen Christ who tells Saul that he is those who are being persecuted. In this story, Saul doesn't convert from Judaism to Christianity. Rather this story is about a radical "turning around"--repentance--from ways of death to ways that bring life. Listen as Pastor Eric explores how this powerful story might speak into our own fraught moment in history.

Resident Migrants
In this message, Pastor Eric explores what it meant for the early Christian movement--and for us now--to live as "resident migrants"--fully in the world, but not conformed to the patterns of the world; refusing, ultimately, allegiance to any country, leader, or political party in order to be free and in solidarity with our neighbors across lines of difference. What does it look like for us to be fully committed to the well-being of our world, while remaining a people who are ever "on the way," seeking a "truer homeland" than the lines drawn on a map would define for us?
