E! Teaching

When we talk about hearing God, lots of questions come to mind. How does God speak? Why don't we hear Him sometimes? How can we be sure it's God? Hearing God is a relational process not an ask.com experience. God wants to be in relationship with us not just an answer vending machine. Join the conversation this Sunday!

Help is on the way! Have you ever heard those words or wanted to hear those words? Good news! Help is HERE not just on the way! Jesus made sure his followers knew that before He exited planet earth. Come experience the 24/7 help Jesus was talking about!

"If I had only known that….!” We’ve all been there. If we had correct background information we would have come to different conclusions. Same deal with our view of God. We have some bad information. Sunday we’ll unpack “Who is God” by going back to the beginning. Give your understanding of God a fresh start.

She's seven years old and starting the second grade with an eagerness that has her dressed for the first day of school several days early! The start of school, kids and parents waiting for the school bus, leaves turning color...all signs of a change in seasons! There is an enthusiasm for a fresh start, a new season. Students are taking their next steps in growing up! What about us? God's plans for us always include growing. What's your next step?

In the movie Snow White, the seven dwarfs sang something like, “Hi-ho, hi-ho, its off to work we go”. On Monday mornings are you more like Grumpy, Sleepy or Happy? What does God have to do with your attitude and view toward work? A Lot! Sunday, we’ll discover what God thinks about our work. We’ll unpack the difference between work and a job. We’ll challenge the idea of what is secular and what is sacred. Your work is important and spiritual.

"You are not the boss of me!", declares one five year old to another. Who has not overheard a conversation like this? Sending is about God's big story--what He is up to in the world. Sending anyone reminds us that Jesus is in charge of our lives and may interrupt us at any time--but this is not the whole story! Want to know more? Join us this Sunday as we love and send the Sawczuk family!

The technical wilderness of social media offers instant communication with anyone across the globe at the tap of a button. Too good to be true? Perhaps just too quick to be completely reliable. We have likely all found ourselves in a difficult situation online where good intentions were translated badly, the joke did not land well, or speaking the truth sparked a fiery debate which left everyone licking their wounds. Come and hear how we can navigate the media wildlife by standing firmly on God's word.

Good relationships need to be fed and nurtured. Some relationships….. well, they need to be recognized and NOT fed. How can you identify those toxic relationships? What should you do about them? Sunday we’ll have fun visiting the wildlife…. of relationships.

What do a latrine shovel, bear spray, and mosquito nets have to do with our life and journey with God? Turns out--a lot! Join us for some laughter and lessons from the trail that will follow you home! Start your week with us! Sawczuk Announcement at the beginning of podcast!

It is week five, the finale to our Boomerang series where each week, we welcome back a wonderful family sent from here into God's big world! This week we welcome, AJ Swoboda, church planter in the Hawthorne District of Portland. Seven and a half years ago, AJ, his wife Quinn, and a team of 11 people stood on stage at Evergreen and shared their story and vision for the east side of Portland. After praying for them we took a special offering and sent that to them for the new church plant. We are so glad that God let us be a part of their story...but the story has a new chapter with fresh vision! AJ will share what God is up to now, we'll pray, and you will have the opportunity to give to this next chapter. Your yearnings to advance God's Kingdom here, near and far will be stirred! Expect to hear from God for your life as AJ shares about his!
