On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “Hold the Rope!” as we continued our series “Tell Me Why.” Jesus was sent by the Father to bring salvation to humanity. Christ is the light of the world. After His death and resurrection, Jesus commissioned His followers (including us) to share the good news of his salvation with all people. Each of us has the opportunity to share the hope and light of the Gospel. As Pastor Nate challenged us to each engage the Great Commission, he referenced a powerful event involving William Carey, the father of modern missions. In 1792 Carey was with a group of pastors in England, and before heading out as a missionary to India, he challenged the ministers in that meeting stating that he could be willing to go down into the pit to rescue others if they would hold the rope. Each of us has had someone holding our rope, and now we have the opportunity to hold the rope for others. What a powerful picture of how we each have a different role, but each share the same mission! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out the message here.
On Sunday Pastor Nate kicked off our new series, “This is the Way.” Early Christians were known as “people of the Way,” because they learned to walk with Jesus and live reflecting God’s values. In the book of Acts we read about Spirit-led patterns and practices that were part of the fabric of the early church. In this 5-part series, we’ll cover a pattern each week on Sunday and discuss it in Connect Groups throughout the week. The first pattern that Pastor Nate preached about is “Life-Giving Spiritual Community.” We may find community in many relationships, but spiritual community brings life to our soul. If we want the fruit of community, we need to have the roots of commitment to each other. What a powerful message! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out the message here.
People Get Ready! Pt. 1 | People Get Ready | Dr. Nate Ruch by Emmanuel Christian Center
On Sunday Rev. Joshua Edmon continued our series “Summer with Mark” with a powerful message titled “When God Sets the table.” When Jesus saw that the temple was being used as a marketplace he began flipping tables and clearing it out. The Temple was meant to be a house of prayer for all nations. God’s table is meant to be holy, not hustling. God’s table is meant to welcome all people. It is the place where prayer and the Lord’s presence take priority. What a powerful and relevant word! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out the message here.

On Sunday the pastors at each Emmanuel location preached the final message for our series “Family Matters.” At Emmanuel Spring Lake Park, Pastor Nathan Grams’ sermon was titled “Vision for My Family,” a powerful reminder that God has a purpose not only for us as individuals, but also as households and families. As Abraham in Genesis 13, when we lift our eyes we can look into the future and gain God’s dream for our family. He is faithful to fulfill His promises, and as we believe in Him, we can begin to see a future and a hope for all that He has in store. If you couldn’t join on Sunday morning, check out Pastor Nathan’s message.
Easter Weekend at Emmanuel was amazing! It was so meaningful and so much fun to celebrate our risen Savior together. And Sunday’s message was powerful! Pastor Nate preached “A Sunday Revolution.” Friday, the day of death, can represent the despair and the frustration of feeling like things aren’t going as planned. Saturday can be that spot where we get stuck between the cross and the resurrection, where disappointment can take over. But Sunday is the day of hope, life and resurrection! Let’s all step into Sunday and experience God’s life-giving power! We also saw Wayde’s story of life change, a reminder that God continues to transform people.

What a powerful message! The final part of our series “Set it Into Motion” was based on the story of Jesus’ miraculous feeding of the multitudes. Pastor Nate preached that we can also be part of the miracles that the Lord is setting into motion. We do this by letting Jesus take our life in His hands, by seeking His blessing, by being willing to be broken, and by giving it away. We can join God as He sets miracles into motion! If you couldn’t join on Sunday morning, check out Pastor Nate’s message.
On Sunday Pastor Phil Johnson preached an incredible message at Emmanuel Spring Lake Park to close out 2024. “Keep Up the Good Work!” is a powerful reminder that we will grow weary if we give into comparison, if we become cynical, or if we try to carry all weight on our own. If we learn to lean on God’s grace we’ll develop patience and endurance, and we’ll experience the joy of the harvest after the hard work of planting.

On Sunday Pastor Manny Melendez, our Lead Kids Pastor, preached “The Road to Joy.” The message of Christmas is a message of joy to the world! We can have joy in the midst of difficulty and darkness. It doesn’t depend on our circumstances, but rather on encountering God’s greatest gift, Jesus. As we grow in anticipation and hope, joy moves us to action. If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Manny’s message.
On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “Get HIS Peace,” the second message in our series “The Road to Bethlehem.” Life is full of things that can trip us up and trigger us causing worry, anxiety, and taking away our peace. When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to announce her miraculous pregnancy and Jesus’ birth, she didn’t understand God’s full plan, but she trusted Him. In the same way, we can choose to trust the Lord, His heart and His plan for our lives. As a result, we can experience God’s perfect peace! Each of us can open our heart and humbly make room for God’s peace in our life! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Nate’s message.
On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “The Road to Hope,” our first message in the series “The Road to Bethlehem.” As we learn to trust in the Lord, the God of hope, He brings joy and peace into our lives, so we can overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. As we begin the season of Advent, a journey of expectation leading into Christmas, we are reminded that life is like road that can lead to hope in Jesus. Where is the road we are on today leading us? If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Nate’s message.
On Sunday Pastor Nate preached a message titled “Hit the REFRESH button!” our final week in our “BeCAUSE of Eternity” series. Proverbs 11:25 says “the generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” Thanksgiving is the refresh button for our hearts! When we live with hearts full of gratitude to God and thankfulness for the people in our lives, we discover that the Lord has set aside moments of refreshing for us, regardless of our circumstances. If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Nate’s message.
On Sunday we got to hear from our Pastors at each Emmanuel location. It was so good to hear inspiring and challenging messages from each of them as we continued our series “BeCAUSE of Eternity.” Each of us can live life in such a way that we set in motion a Kingdom legacy. We are inspired by our heroes and guides, and we each have someone that is watching how we live life. We can each craft a “Kingdom Legacy List” with goals regarding our generosity, our marriage, our children and/or grandchildren, and our involvement in the Great Commission. All of us can position our life for significance and Kingdom legacy! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Nathan Grams’ message at Emmanuel Spring Lake Park.
On Sunday Pastor Nate kicked off our new series “BeCAUSE of Eternity.” When we fix our eyes on eternity and begin to live God-reliant lives, we are fueled by trust in the Lord rather than fear. When we anchor our trust in eternity instead of the temporary, it impacts our stewardship of what’s in our hands. We practice the blessing of dedicating the whole to God by presenting Him with the first tenth. As we grow in trust we grow in faith, and we experience His favor on our life!
On Sunday we got to hear from our Pastors at each Emmanuel location as they closed out our series “Love Thy Neighbor.” They spoke on Jesus’ commandment to love our enemies. With God’s help, we can do good to those who hate us, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who hurt us. What a timely word for all of us! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Nathan Grams’ message at Emmanuel Spring Lake Park.
On Sunday guest speaker and Kingdom Builder partner Mark Ritchie continued our message series with a sermon titled “You Really Do Love Yourself, Don’t You?” His depth and his humor drove home the fact that we need to learn how to love ourselves in a healthy way if we do want to be effective in loving others. As we find our identity and our freedom in Christ, we can then live to see others set free.
Sunday was the conclusion of our series “Love Thy Neighbor!” Ephesians 4:29 teaches us to be intentional with our words, making sure our language is helpful and encouraging to those who hear us. Pastor Nate preached a message built on this text titled “It’s Always 4:29!”, challenging us to always speak blessing to the people in our lives. When God’s words are in us, blessing can come out of us. As we learn to listen and refuse to talk childishly, God uses our words to bring healing and life. Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “Who is my Neighbor?”, a powerful message on noticing the people around us and loving them as Jesus has taught us. We all have blind spots to address and overcome as we learn to care for the people in our world. When we are intentional in praying for our neighbors, we are better prepared to care for them. Let’s start being available and doing what we can! Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday Pastor Nate kicked off our new fall series titled “Love Thy Neighbor!” Jesus summed up the greatest commandment with these action steps: love the Lord with all of who you are and love your neighbor as yourself. We live in a day and age where division and animosity seem to be the rule. As we follow Jesus and His teaching, we learn how to love God, what it means to truly love ourselves, and how to love our neighbor well. At the end of the day, God is the one who defines the truth about love, and He can guide us in living out this reality. Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “Chosen, Authorized & Anointed!” a powerful conclusion to our series “You Have a Purpose”! Whatever our assignment and whatever the season we may find ourselves in, God has entrusted us with opportunities and responsibilities. Each of us is given something we can leverage as well as the freedom to steward His gift. The Lord will evaluate what we do with what we have received, and we will be rewarded based on our actions. When it comes to God’s part, He continues to authorize and anoint people to carry out their assignment. This holds true for each of us. We need God’s anointing on our life to live our His purpose for us! Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday Pastor Nate continued our series “You Have a Purpose” with a powerful message titled “Thank God It’s Monday!” Each of us has been created by God with a unique calling to live out. This impacts the assignments we carry out during our life, including work and study. Our identity is not rooted in what we do, but what we do matters. When we begin to see our “Monday responsibilities” as part of our God-given purpose, we begin to discover the potential that God has planned for us in each and every day. Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday we got to hear from our Pastors at each Emmanuel location. It was so good to hear inspiring and challenging messages from each of them as we get ready to head into the fall season! At Emmanuel Spring Lake Park, Pastor Nathan Grams spoke from John 21. The story of Jesus and Peter in this chapter teaches us so much about getting unstuck, about overcoming failure through God’s restoration in our life, and about embracing His unique purpose and plan for each of us. This is such a timely message for each of us as we head into a new season! If you couldn’t join on Sunday, check out Pastor Nathan Grams’ message at Emmanuel Spring Lake Park.
On Sunday Pastor Nate continued our series “I Have a Purpose” with a message titled “Grow Together.” As described in Ephesians 3, when we grow roots into God’s love, He empowers and strengthens us. Growth is central to the Lord’s plan for our life. Depth in our life, a discovery of unchartered territory, the context of God’s House, and key relationships will all be part of our growth journey. Through this message, we are challenged to consider all the relationships and connections we have in our life, and to consider how to grow together enriching each other’s lives. Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday Pastor preached “I Have a Purpose!”, a powerful message to kick off our new series. As we focus on Emmanuel’s “why,” “For everyone to KNOW Jesus, GROW together, and LIVE with purpose” we consider our own life and our own story. God has created each and every one of us with purpose. As we walk with Jesus, we not only get to know Him better, but we discover who we are in Him. We begin to see God’s vision for our life, His destiny for us. The enemy plans to steal, kill and destroy us, but Jesus has a meaningful and purpose-filled life prepared for each of us. Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday Pastor Darin concluded our “Standing Strong” series on the book of Hebrews with a powerful message titled “Unshakable Confidence.” We can live with the certainty that God will never fail us.

Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “Plan on Finishing,” a powerful message based on Hebrews 12. Each of us has a race to run and we can make it to the finish line because of Jesus. We live in a day and age where it is all too easy to give up and quit, but Jesus teaches us that we can complete the race that we’ve started. As we fix our eyes and focus on Him, getting rid of the things that hinder us, we can find strength to endure. He is the initiator and completer of our faith, and He will help us at each step of the way as we plan to finish. Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday our Location Pastors continued our series “Standing Strong” focusing on Hebrews 11. What an incredible chapter full of inspiring stories as we look at heroes of the faith!

On Sunday Pastor Nate preached “What to DO with what you KNOW,” a practical and compelling message based on Hebrews 9 and 10. Through this sermon we learn about Jesus’ perfect sacrifice and His power to bring forgiveness and hope into our story. We can connect confidently with God holding tight to the faith and hope He’s given us. We can’t neglect the powerful connection that happens when we meet as the church, and in gathering we find the opportunity to inspire others to do good. Once we’ve experienced salvation, we must stop the habit of sinning. As we remember our “God story” we can look back in gratitude, and we look ahead in hope for the Lord’s reward. Sunday’s message was full of so many powerful truths for us to lean into! Check it out here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday, guest speaker and evangelist Will Jones preached a message titled “Graduation: Progressing Onward” based on Hebrews chapter 6. The Word of God challenges us to move forward, to grow and to build upon the foundation. God invites us, His children, to progress toward maturity in Christ. To neglect this truth is to settle for spiritual immaturity and stagnation. Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday, Pastor Nate preached a powerful message titled “Unlock Your Heart” based on Hebrews 4 and 5. As we listen to God’s voice and keep our hearts from being hardened, we are able to enter into His rest and His promises. God’s word is alive and powerful, shining into our lives to bring hope, revelation and freedom. As we lean into His voice we learn to trust Him, to confess to Him, and bring our requests to Him in full confidence. The alternative, hardening our hearts and dismissing His voice, will lead us to become cynical, stagnant and spiritually dull. Today the Lord invites us to unlock our hearts and to pursue Him with Thanksgiving. Check out Sunday’s message here if you haven’t already.
On Sunday, we had guest speaker, Pastor Jonathan Rivera, continue our series in the book of Hebrews. He preached a powerful and engaging message from Hebrews 3 titled “First Things First.” If the enemy can’t destroy us, he will try to distract us.

On Sunday, Pastor Nate preached a powerful message to kick off our new series “Standing Strong” on the book of Hebrews, which we will be studying this summer.

God challenges us to not give up, and to persevere in faith keeping Jesus at the center. As the Lord builds perseverance, endurance, and resilience in our life, we can learn to push through and be race-finishers. This is such an inspiring and relevant message!

Go ahead and check out Sunday’s message if you haven’t already.
