Portia Allen Your passion for reading God's Word shapes your life more than you realize. The Bible isn't just ancient text—it's a living anchor for bold living today. In Bold and Bible, Portia Allen shares how a growing love for Scripture fuels courage, conviction, and Spirit-led living. We explore Ephesians 6, where Paul—an “ambassador in chains”—prays not for comfort, but for courage. From the Book of Acts to our everyday lives, we see how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary believers to speak truth, love deeply, and live boldly. Text: Ephesians 6:19–20, Romans 10:15–16, Acts 18:1–3; 24–28, Acts 19:1–7, Acts 1:4–8, John 16:13–14, Ephesians 1:13 Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #MadeToGarden #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

In a world full of conflicting voices about womanhood and marriage, God offers a beautiful and countercultural design. Paul reveals the role of the wife—not as lesser, but as a powerful partner who reflects Christlike humility and strength through submission. This message unpacks what biblical submission really means and how it leads to unity, trust, and flourishing in marriage. Text: Ephesians 5:22-24 Speaker: Aaron Patton

In a culture that normalizes sexual immorality, God calls us to walk in the light and live differently. Paul contrasts the purity of God's love with the destructive pull of lust, impurity, and greed.

Text: Ephesians 4:17-21 Series: Ephesians Speaker: Blake FarleySupport the show

Francis Schaeffer said, “Ideas have consequences.” If people believe false ideas, they inevitably act on them in disastrous ways. The only solution to such false ideas is to replace them with the truth. Theology and doctrine matter. In this series, we will work through important doctrine for followers of Jesus to understand as they strive to follow Jesus. This week, we explore the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Text: Ephesians 5:15-21 ESV Speaker: Michael Bayne

Text: Ephesians 1:15-21 Preacher: Derek Baker

Every day, Christians face a real spiritual battle, but too often we walk in unprepared—like a superhero stepping into war without their armor. God has given us everything we need to stand strong, but we have to choose to suit up with His armor.  Text: Ephesians 6:10-20 Guest Speaker: Joel Garrison

Text: Ephesians 1:11 & Isaiah 46:9-10The world needs to hear about Jesus! It may look different for each believer, but every Christian is called to share the good news about Jesus with the world.

In this sermon we'll explore Ephesians 4 and discover what it means to say no to our old life and yes to the new nature God has created us for—righteousness and holiness. Like a baseball bat or a guitar designed for a purpose, we too are created to live intentionally, reflecting Christ's character in our actions and attitudes.

Do you have a good friendship? A person you can talk to and grow with, who will encourage you in your walk with Christ.  Do you desire to be in a relationship? There are similarities in the qualities of life long friends and spouses that we should look out for if we hope to have lifelong companionship.Text: Ephesians 5:22-33Sermon Summary:Big Idea: Dating is for discerning a gospel partner. Key Question: How do you discern if a person is a good gospel partner? 1.       Do they love and follow Jesus. (vv. 22-30)2.       Are they a lifelong partner. (v. 31)3.       Will they help you embody the mystery of the gospel. (vv. 32-33)

In this Spirit-led night of worship and word, Pastor Andy Cass shares a powerful message on prayer as the 7th piece of a warrior's armor from Ephesians 6:18–20. Expect a kairos moment—an encounter with God that calls for boldness, surrender, and fearless confidence. Text: Ephesians 6:18–20 – "Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers..."

Have you ever been given a title or calling that felt bigger than who you are? This message explores the tension between our current reality and the greater purpose God has for us. Discover how to step confidently into the calling God has placed on your life, even when you don't yet feel ready. Text: Ephesians 4:1-13 Speaker: Aaron Patton 

Text: Ephesians 2:1-10Jeff CollinsRecorded live at Bethany Bible Church on: 7/6/25Bethany Radio is a production of Bethany Bible Church in LeRoy, MN.More content and info is available on our website: bethanybibleleroy.com 2025 — Bethany Radio

In Ephesians 3, we see that God's plan has always been to offer salvation to everyone — both Jews and Gentiles — through Christ. Paul reminds us that sharing the gospel is a privilege, and that we can approach God boldly for the strength to do so. We're called to trust in God's greater plan and be rooted in His deep, unshakable love. Text: Ephesians 3:1-21 Speaker: Dallas Seamans

Pastor Andy Cass When it comes to spiritual battles, using the wrong tool can leave you exposed and ineffective. What does it means to take up the Sword of the Spirit—the Word of God—and fight with both truth and power from the Holy Spirit. TEXT: Ephesians 6:17, John 18:10–11, Acts 2:41, Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 5:26, Luke 11:37, Matthew 4:14, Isaiah 55:10–11, 1 Samuel 17, 1 Kings 12:6–15 NOTES: -"I got this" attitude keeps us from picking up the sword. - Put the sword down → You are deceived → Pride makes you conceited → You are defeated Peter without the Spirit = sword without aim → shame and hiding. Peter with the Spirit = sword of the Word → 3,000 saved Practical effects of the Word: -Washing (Ephesians 5:26) -Confidence (Luke 11:37) -Sustenance (Matthew 4:14) -Progress (Isaiah 55:10–11) -Discernment (Hebrews 4:12) -My will, my way, my word—or God's will, God's way, God's Word? -Leading in wisdom doesn't mean leaving wisdom. BIG IDEA: Use the right tool and invite your children into the project.

In this message, we explore what it truly means to be God's masterpiece, as described in Ephesians 2:1-10. We confront the tension between what God says about us and how we often feel — broken, unfinished, and not enough. Through Paul's words, we discover our new position in Christ, the foundation of grace we stand on, and the purpose we were created for.  Text: Ephesians 2:1-10 Speaker: Aaron Patton 

Pastor Andy Cass In this powerful message, we explore the Helmet of Salvation—not just as protection, but as a mindset of momentum. Challenged to shift our focus from distraction to deliverance, and to let God renew our minds and direct our steps toward victory. TEXT: Ephesians 6:17, Romans 12:1–2, Colossians 3:1–2, Philippians 4:5–8, Isaiah 26:3–4, 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, Psalm 140:7, 1 Samuel 17:38–40, 48–50, 54, 1 Samuel 18:6–7 NOTES: Big Idea: God wants your focus back. "Put your hat on!" — Helmet of Salvation is not a moment but a mindset. “Helmet of salvation is misunderstood to be a moment when it's a mindset of momentum.” We're loosing because: 1. You're fashionably wrong 2. You're fearful and fail to step out 3. You're mis-focused “Focus is a game changer — a war winner.” Salvation = deliverance → direction → daily mindset. “Jesus is trying to lead us free from our mental blur…” Inverse: Without the helmet of salvation = distracted, jealous, envious, negative, captive. “Our King, Commander, and Savior is Jesus Christ. Where he wars, we war. Where he hopes, we hope.”

In this message kicking off our series in Ephesians, we explore the question: Who are you, really? Drawing from Ephesians 1, we uncover how our identity isn't found in appearance, performance, or approval—but in Jesus.  Text: Ephesians 1:1-23 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Sermon preached at Trinity Lutheran Church, Murdock, NE (15 June 2025). Text: Ephesians 6:4.

Pastor Andy Cass We weren't meant to fight alone—Shield Up explores how faith, unity, and shared battles guard us against the enemy's attacks. Discover how taking up the shield of faith isn't just personal—it's powerful when we stand together. TEXT: Ephesians 6:16, Genesis 3:1, Luke 4:1-4, Luke 4:13, Ephesians 4:18, Ephesians 4:25-27, Hebrews 12:14, Matthew 5:23-24 NOTES: Big Idea: Healing breaks the cycle—where hurt once led to doubt, now trust leads to connection. And instead of solitary confinement, we find solidarity in community. -Isolation is the enemy's battlefield—he attacks the tired, the distant, and the lone. -Separation by side conversion and assumption over communication. -Inverse: No Shield = Isolation(divided) and living in a constant state of Doubt. -Bitterness is an unresolved revenge. -Call to Unity: fall into formation, stop the friendly fire, seek healing.

Pastor Andy Cass What if peace isn't found in your plan, but in God's? In this message, we explore how putting on the shoes of the gospel of peace can lead us out of chaos, fear, and isolation into purpose, obedience, and freedom. TEXT: Ephesians 6:13-15, Exodus 12:11, Mark 6:7-9, Mark 6:12-13, Acts 12:5-8, Galatians 5:13 NOTES: Big Idea: Peace does not stand still in God's plan—so why are we? “Don't let your own plan imprison you! Gain the world yet lose your soul.” “Your purpose in paradise will lead you to no peace.” “You choose: Freedom or familiarity? Adventure.” “The Disciple exchanges comfort for a cause and fashion for fight.” “No peace if you're trying to fit into someone else's shoes.” “So many Christians are half in that their experience is half out.” “Show me one thing that you're excelling in that you do once or twice a month?” “Anger to passion. Anxiety into empathy.” Leave a comment, subscribe, and share with a friend.
