Welcome to Weekday Word with Pastor Eric

  • Optimism vs. Hope

    Optimism vs Hope This is what the Lord says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again.  For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans…

  • As One With Authority

    “These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the…

  • Can’t Live Without This

    Romans 5:2-5 The Voice “Jesus leads us into a place of radical grace where we are able to celebrate the hope of experiencing God’s glory.  And that’s not all.

  • The Very Thing You’re Trying to Avoid

    Romans 8:26-28 – And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.  And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit…

  • That You Might Not Perish. . .

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. A pastor friend gave me an insight into this extremely popular verse that I hadn’t heard before.  The word translated “perish” in this verse is the same word…

  • Faith and Sight

    2 Corinthians 5:7 “We live by believing, not by seeing” NLT In college, my wife and I had a religion professor named Alan Smith.  He taught us a lot about Christian Education (that is his area) but to be honest, I don’t recall most of it.  But one thing I do remember from Dr. Smith…

  • Faith AND Works

    James 2:14-24, The Message “Dear friends, do you think you’ll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, “Good morning, friend!…

  • Faith Hope and Love

    Hebrews 11:1-2 The Message – “The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.
