Serve One Another in Love | June 21, 2026 | EVC Elder: John Andersen

In this Father's Day message, we continued our One Another series by looking at the biblical call to Serve One Another from Galatians 5:13. Through the stories of Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar in Judges 3, we discovered that God equips His people to serve by filling them with the Holy Spirit, preparing them through His Word, and using the gifts and opportunities already in their hands.No matter your background, abilities, or season of life, God can use you to make an impact. Christian freedom is not meant for self-centered living but for loving and serving others. As we surrender to the Spirit, apply God's truth to our lives, and faithfully use what He has given us, we become instruments of His grace in the lives of those around us.

Encourage One Another | June 14, 2026 | Pastor Daniel Vaughan

This week, Pastor Daniel continued our One Another series by exploring the call to encourage one another from Hebrews 10:24-25. He reminded us that the Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. God designed His people to strengthen, challenge, and support one another so that faith, love, and perseverance can endure through every season of life.Through personal stories and biblical teaching, we were challenged to see encouragement as more than kind words. Encouragement is love in action. It helps guard against spiritual drift, fuels perseverance, and reminds us that God often works through His people to bring hope, healing, and strength. As followers of Jesus, we are called to intentionally move toward one another, speak truth in love, and help each other keep our eyes fixed on Christ.

Love One Another | June 7, 2026 | Pastor Randy Miller

This week, we looked at Jesus’ command to “love one another” in John 13 and what it means to live as people marked by the love of Christ. Jesus made it clear that love is the defining evidence that we belong to Him, and followers of Jesus are called to reflect something different from the world around them.Through this message, we were reminded that biblical love is more than kindness or good intentions. It is a daily choice to reflect the grace, humility, and sacrificial love of Jesus in the way we treat others.

Secure Enough to Kneel | May 31, 2026

In John 13, Jesus gathers with His disciples on the night before the cross and does something completely unexpected. While the disciples are focused on status and greatness, Jesus kneels down and begins washing their feet, taking the position of a servant. Even knowing betrayal, denial, and suffering were coming, Jesus responds with humility, grace, and sacrificial love. This message explores what it means to find our identity securely in Christ instead of striving for recognition and approval. Through the washing of feet, Jesus shows that the Gospel is not about self-improvement, but surrender and cleansing that only He can provide. Ultimately, we are challenged to receive His grace deeply and then reflect His heart by humbly serving others with love.

When Jesus Seems Late | May 24, 2026

What do you do when Jesus feels late? In John 11, Martha and Mary are grieving the loss of their brother Lazarus, confused why Jesus did not arrive sooner. As Jesus steps into their pain, He reveals that He is not distant from suffering, but deeply moved by it. Through this powerful story, we see both the compassion of Christ and His declaration that He is “the resurrection and the life.”This message explores grief, disappointment, trust, and the difficult questions we wrestle with when God’s timing does not make sense. Ultimately, we are reminded that even when Jesus feels late, He is still loving, still present, and still working in ways we cannot yet fully see.
