Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted something to happen, but it might come at the expense of others? Maybe everyone in your class cheated, and you didn't, so you wanted them to get caught because you felt it was unjust. Today, Pastor Ken says the believer feels the tension of wanting Jesus to return soon because that means those who don't believe will go through immense trials. Have urgency in sharing the gospel so more can be with Him for eternity. He wants all to believe in Him alone!

Sometimes God will strip us of everything we have, so we have no choice but to turn to Him. Today, Pastor Ken says Judah had all its crops stripped away, so they had to depend on the only one who could save them. Is all your hope in Jesus? He wants you to trust Him with any circumstance because He loves you. Give Jesus a chance to change your life. He wants you to follow Him and give all your burdens to Him. Allow Jesus to guide you through every circumstance and find peace in His loving arms.

Pastor Ken continues teaching through the book of Acts.

When we look around us, all can seem lost. There's brokenness all around! It seems like anything humanity touches turns bad. This is a result of sin entering the world! Today, Pastor Ken says we only have one hope, and His name is Jesus. You must turn to Him to save you from this world. The things around you will always try to distract you from the truth, which is that Jesus is your only hope for true salvation. He wants all to know Him and believe.

When food becomes rotten, it's impossible to eat. Now, imagine if everything you bought or owned that was edible became rotten at the same time. In today's message, Pastor Ken says the locusts in Joel's time took over all the harvest and made it inedible. This caused everyone to rely on the Lord for their strength. Without any hope for food, they had no choice but to follow the Lord and trust that He would save them. Sometimes, God takes away all you own to remind you that He's all you need.

There's a constant fear in everyone's heart that they aren't doing enough. It causes us to worry and experience anxiety. In today's message, Pastor Ken says we must give all our hardships to the Lord. When you do that, He's able to take on all your burdens and fight with you. He loves you and wants you to be free from the bondage of sin! Jesus says His burden is light and His yoke is easy. Fight the lies of this world with the one who can take all burdens and make them lighter. He wants you to lean on Him!

If you've ever watched UFC, you'll know that when they go in the ring to fight, there's a set time that the fight ends. In today's message, Pastor Ken says we're in a fight of our own. You see, the enemy's constantly fighting for your heart. There's no end to this because he won't stop until he wins. You must stay on guard and alert! He can't win if you lean on Jesus and allow Him to guide you through any situation. Where the Lord is, the enemy flees! Trust in God and let Him fight this fight for you!

Pastor Ken preaches on Ps. 104.

When a child takes their first steps, it's a moment that's cherished forever. A parent will never be able to recreate that first moment with their child, but they can have similar moments happen around them that remind them of it. In today's message, Pastor Ken says the tribulation will be a unique situation and that no one will be able to say, “I remember feeling like this before,” because there's nothing comparable to it. Christ is coming back for those who love Him. Be prepared for His return!

Pastor Ken continues through the book of Acts and reads chapter 8 verses 1-25

What's our instinct when something good happens to us? To go tell everyone we know so that they can celebrate with us! In today's message, Pastor Ken says there's urgency to share the gospel with others because we're always one generation away from the gospel being gone forever. You must share the love of Christ with others. If Jesus has changed your life, your job is to celebrate that from the rooftops! He's saved you and loves all! Don't be the reason the next generation doesn't know the love of Jesus.

While driving, it feels unjust that people can speed and pass others or even drive and cut others off. But have you ever had that happen and seen that person get pulled over? It's extremely satisfying to see, as there was justice in an otherwise unjust situation. In today's message, Pastor Ken says, you must love your enemies even if they've done wrong to you, because God will bring justice in the end. Your hope must be in the Lord, who guides and promises to one day bring justice to all things.

What does it look like to bring the heart of a disciple into your marriage? In this episode, Pastor Ken Senchal delivers a transformative message from our Summer of Change series — diving into how God's original design for marriage still applies today, even in a culture that constantly tries to redefine it. Marriage isn't just a social contract — it's a holy covenant designed to reflect the love between Christ and the Church. But sin distorted that design, introducing selfishness, power struggles, and brokenness into our relationships. The good news? Jesus redeems what sin tried to destroy — including our marriages. Whether you're single and preparing, engaged and learning, or married and growing, this message is packed with wisdom and hope. Pastor Ken breaks down: Why marriage is about sacrifice, not self-fulfillment How mutual submission creates unity, not control The importance of submitting to Christ before submitting to each other What husbands and wives are called to be — not just do This episode is a call to rise above cultural noise and build homes founded on God's truth. Listen in and discover how to reflect Jesus in your relationship, starting today.

You'll discover: ✅ The five foundational truths every child needs to hear ✅ Why your daily lifestyle teaches louder than your lectures ✅ How church and community reinforce spiritual growth at home ✅ The dangers of letting culture disciple your kids ✅ How to instill honor, obedience, and identity in a confusing world Through Scripture, practical examples, and timely encouragement, Pastor Ken reminds us that “your kids may not always obey your words—but they will follow your walk.” Whether you're a new parent, seasoned parent, grandparent, or even a future parent—this episode will equip you to lead your home with faith, focus, and grace.

Would you ever read a book from the middle and describe the whole plot of the book just from that? No, because then you wouldn't have the entire context of why things are happening! Just like how you can't take a book out of context, you can't take the Bible out of context. Today, Pastor Ken says that what you read about in Joel directly correlates to what you'll read in the New Testament. The entire Bible is a story and must be read in its entirety. You don't get to pick and choose what you want to believe in.

Are you tired of the burdens that the world places on you? Are you worn out from the struggles you face in your life? In today's message, Pastor Ken invites you to give your life to Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can set you free from your sins because He has already paid the price for them. When you accept Him into your life, His Holy Spirit comes to dwell within you, washing away your sins and transforming them from scarlet red to white as snow. And in that moment, you're made new in Jesus.

Join us as Pastor Ken continues our summer series on Philippians. We are diving into 3:12-21, how do we GROW to be more like Jesus? 

For a long time, many people have assumed that there are multiple paths to salvation. They often claim to be good people or mention how they frequently give back to the community. But are good actions truly enough to achieve eternal life? Today, Pastor Ken emphasizes that there is only one way to everlasting life: through Jesus. To receive this gift, you only need to acknowledge that you are a sinner, believe in Christ's work on the cross, and confess Him as the Lord of your life.

Pastor Ken finishes the 7th chapter of Acts

Something is happening in our country that we haven't seen in a long time. People are awakening to the imperfections of this world and seeking deeper meaning in life. In today's message, Pastor Ken emphasizes the urgent need for us to awaken! He calls us to step out of our comfort zones, share the Word of God, and invite the Holy Spirit to fill our nation. This is our chance to unite in faith and share the Gospel of Jesus with those who are yearning for something more. So, what will you do about the message of Jesus?

Do you remember what it was like to grow up with your parents? While many of us may not have had the exact same childhood, everyone had someone they looked up to—someone they loved and felt safe with. That is how we should view God. Our Father in Heaven isn't just our Father by name; He is our Abba, and He loves you so much that He couldn't bear to be apart from you. That's why He sent His Son, Jesus. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that God will move Heaven and Earth to reach you.

Have you ever attended a church that doesn't read from the Word of God? While this may seem unusual, it's increasingly common for people to fall victim to churches that manipulate the Bible to fit their own ideologies. Unfortunately, many individuals who are unaware of this deception end up following a false version of God. That's why, in today's message, Pastor Ken encourages you to stay grounded in the Word of God. Walk with Jesus and allow His Word to be the ultimate authority in your life.

We live in a world where sin is prevalent, and at times, it can be difficult to let go of those sins in our walk with God. But what happens when we use the Bible to justify our sinful behavior? What occurs when we attempt to add or subtract from the Bible? Today, Pastor Ken warns us that when we reshape the Bible to fit our own ideals, we start to create a god in our own image, rather than the God of the Bible. This is why Pastor Ken encourages us, now more than ever, to stay grounded in the Word so that we can discern truth from lies.

Join us this week as Pastor Ken continues our summer series on Philippians.  We're looking at Phil 3: 1-11 this week.  

Isn't it amazing to realize that the God of the universe loves us so much that He sent His one and only Son to take our place on the cross? Jesus was the only one who was sinless and blameless, and He took our punishment so that we can have everlasting life with Him. In today's message, Pastor Ken reminds us that when you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you won't be eternally separated from Him when you leave this world; instead, you will have everlasting life with Him.

If you turn on the news, what do you see? You see an absence of God in this country. And the results of man-made efforts only prove that there are things in this life that man can't simply accomplish, and the biggest thing that people fool themselves into believing is that they can earn their way into salvation. But in today's message, Pastor Ken tells you that without Jesus Christ, there is no other way into eternal life. But when you give your life to Jesus and allow Him into your life, He offers you His Grace.

We live in a world filled with many gods. For some people, these gods may be money, wealth, celebrities, social status, or even loved ones. Today, Pastor Ken emphasizes that the Bible clearly states that if you are not following Jesus Christ, then you are following Satan. That is why Pastor Ken encourages you to engage with the Word daily, walk closely with Jesus, and make Him the top priority in your life. By doing so, you can find true fulfillment and purpose that transcends the temporary allure of worldly pleasures.

Sometimes in our lives, we can observe how the world responds to God and forget that we come from the same place. There are essentially two types of people on this earth: believers and unbelievers. At times, our worldly thoughts and feelings can hinder us from focusing on our true purpose, which is to share the gospel. That's why in today's message, Pastor Ken reminds us that before we judge those who are lost, we should remember that we were once lost ourselves. The grace of Jesus is available to all who believe in Him.

Pastor Ken continues teaching through the book of Revelation.

Imagine being in a room where you know the location of everything around you, but suddenly, you lose your ability to see. The familiar space becomes strange and disorienting, and this is similar to living life without God. Sometimes, when we think we have everything figured out, unexpected events can occur that obscure our view of the future, making it feel unfamiliar and daunting. However, today, Pastor Ken reminds us that it doesn't have to be that way. If you allow God to guide you, He will always take care of you.

Pastor Ken continues teaching through the book of Numbers.

Pastor Ken emphasizes the importance of a holistic Christian life, urging believers to apply God's word personally and share it purposefully, recognizing that faithfulness in word, conduct, and spirit is essential for both personal growth and influencing others. It highlights the need to overcome opposition through integrity, prioritize biblical truth, utilize spiritual gifts, and remain vigilant in guarding against worldliness, ultimately asserting that perseverance in faith provides assurance of salvation and impacts those who observe a life dedicated to Christ.

No one has ever claimed that walking with Jesus is easy, and if someone has, they are not telling the truth. This journey is one of the hardest things you will ever have to endure. While this world is not perfect, at times, it may seem easier to distance yourself from God than to remain close to Him. However, no matter how far you may walk away from God, it only takes one step to come back to Him. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to remember that if you have spent time away from God, it is never too late to return to Him.

In this heartfelt sermon, Pastor Ken Polk, father of Pastor Jason Polk, shares a moving message at Echo Church centered on the healing of the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5. Ken reflects on the themes of faith, persistence, and the courage to reach out to Jesus even in the midst of a crowd. Drawing on personal anecdotes, biblical teaching, and reflections on the nature of crowds and faith, he emphasizes how Jesus responds not just to casual contact but to sincere, faith-filled hearts. Ken encourages listeners to consider their own condition—whether physical, spiritual, or emotional—and challenges them to press through life's obstacles to make a personal connection with Christ. He reminds us that Jesus sees and responds to those who reach out in faith, offering healing, peace, and transformation. The message culminates in a call to honest confession, public faith, and the assurance that only Jesus can truly satisfy the deepest needs of our souls. No matter how overlooked or hopeless we feel, Jesus notices a heart of real faith. Step out of the crowd, reach for Him, and He will respond.

Pastor Ken begins through the 7th chapter of Acts

We live in a world where many people view the Bible as a source of universal teachings, but its significance goes much deeper than that. The Word of God is not merely a history book or a quick guide to success; it represents a way of life. In today's message, Pastor Ken emphasizes that when you apply the teachings of the Bible to your life, it becomes apparent to those around you. As a result, Jesus begins to make Himself known in the lives of others because of your influence!

I think it's safe to say that everyone has experienced a situation where one person fails to uphold their end of the bargain. Whether it's in the workplace or in a relationship, Pastor Ken wants you to understand that God takes commitment very seriously. God the Father is a covenant-keeping God; when He gives a promise, it is in His very nature to fulfill His commitments, and He expects the same from you and me. Today, Pastor Ken encourages you to keep your word just as God keeps His.

In this bold and timely message from the Summer of Change series, Pastor Ken Senchal challenges the way many of us view the Church. Too often, we approach church like a spiritual buffet—focused on what we can get, not what we're called to give. But the Church isn't a place we attend; it's a Body we belong to, and a family we serve.

Isn't it amazing to realize that we have a God who will never abandon us? While the world teaches self-reliance, Christianity uniquely conveys that we are not saved by our actions, but by our faith in Jesus Christ. That's why, in today's message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that if you don't yet know Jesus and what He has done for you, the first step is to pray to Him. Ask Jesus to make Himself known in your life and express your desire for a relationship with Him. As you draw closer to Jesus, He will draw closer to you.

Pastor Ken continues teaching through the book of Revelation.

Tick... Tick... Tick... Tick... Tick... With each passing day, more and more of the prophecy in the Old Testament is fulfilled. From Jesus fulfilling many of the messianic prophecies in Isaiah, to the turmoil that we see today… the clock is ticking, and the events of Revelation are on their way. Today, you will learn from Pastor Ken that the end times are closer than you think. In fact, one could argue that you're in them. The question is, will you be ready when the clock hits zero, or will you run out of time?
