    We are called to be disciples of Christ and disciple-makers for Christ. Jesus challenges us to consider the cost commitment of discipleship, and not be distracted by the comfort and convenience this world offers.

    Being the first Sunday of the year, I want to take some time to revisit our ES mission – to grow as disciples of Christ and be disciple-makers for Christ. Why are we doing what we are doing? Why is this important? Can we do something else, or can we not do this at all? • We are ...read more

Caught up in the spirit, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution. 3. “Great Idea!” ...read more

But now in Luke 14:25, Jesus returns to address the crowds. In doing so, he clarified what is involved in following him. ...read more
