A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. The Old Testament gives us two powerful images of creation and re-creation. The first is in the book of Genesis as God breathes life into humanity (Genesis 2.7). Imagine the picture the Torah paints for us of the dirt and clay of this earth being shaped and formed in the hands of God, then breathed to life and …

Have you ever lost your keys? How about your wallet? Mary and Joseph once lost Jesus, if that helps to make you feel any better. But the reason why they lost Jesus was because of a cultural practice not seen much in 21st Century North America. Luke tells us the following: After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy J…

An Easter Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. So much can happen in a week, and Holy Week is no exception. The joys of Palm Sunday seem to melt like snow with each passing day. The shouts of “Hosanna!” and exuberance of the crowds fade with every passing hour. By Thursday, the masses have drifted away, the exclamations have grown still. Jesus and h…

A Sunday morning by Youth Group Members and Pastor Brett Deal. Imagine if you heard someone was raised from the dead. What would your reaction be? Would it change the way you see the things in your life that need healing? Sure, may you have heard bits and pieces of miracles: crippled limbs restored, blind eyes opened and deaf ears healed. Over the …

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. On Ash Wednesday we said, “Sometimes it helps to start in the middle.” Now in the blink of an eye, we find ourselves in the heart of Lent. Hours turned to days; days blurred into weeks. Where we may have started out with big plans to fast and pray, dedicating special times to step back and devote ourselves, we …

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Of all the Servant Songs found in Isaiah, the fourth is the best known. In it we begin with the triumphant voice of God pointing our eyes towards His Servant, and we end rejoicing in His glory. But this isn’t why most of us know this song found in Isaiah 52.13-53.12. We know this prophetic hymn because of what …

A Sunday service by Pastor Brett Deal. When I was in middle school, my older brother had just started university. A friend of his loaned him a couple CDs and encouraged him to give them a listen. I’m not sure if he ever did, but I know I did. At that age, I was always looking for new music. Do you remember being like that? When life felt like the d…

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Sometimes it helps to start in the middle. You don’t have to be a lasagna-obsessed cat to hate Mondays. Come to think of it, Tuesdays can be pretty rough too. Beginnings can be difficult to get going. It’s like New Years. Future firsts of January sparkle like diamonds against the past year’s midnight, but then …

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever had a lightbulb moment? That second in time when the complex unsolvable challenge before you seamlessly fell into place. It’s the “AHA!” that breaks the silence and confusion with enthusiastic joy. It’s the cartoon of a cat downcast and under a cloud when his face brightens, his arms shoot…

A Sunday morning sermon by Peter DuMont. This Sunday we will be looking at Jesus’ baptism and his victory over temptation in the desert. In the former we see his obedience to the Father’s command, and entering fully into his incarnational task. In the latter, we see his humanity on full display, laying aside his divinity in order to hunger, and thi…

A Sunday morning sermon by Dorothy Hood. There is something so beautiful about reading Scripture together with others, to hear the words of God spoken through prophets and people, priests and kings. Before Elise and I started our family, I decided the first words I wanted our newborns to hear were our loving prayers over them and the words of the S…

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. “God is not afraid to take risks.” — Joe Kapolyo There are things that seem so obvious. Things that we take for granted until someone points them out. Many of those things that pass in and out of our days unnoticed have a lot to do with where we grew up and the cultures that shaped us: the sounds of our words, …

A Sunday message from Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever noticed all the dreams and visions in the Bible? Dreams in the Bible are like a new car. Before you bought it, the make and model were novel; perhaps there was a rare sighting here or there, but it was infrequently found in the wilds of America’s highways and byways. But the minute you drove th…

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. I don’t think it would be shocking to anyone if I said we live in an age of distraction. Some distractions fly at us, outside of our control, leaving us harried and bewildered. Others we invite in and give special places of honor in our lives. These diversions can serve us like pressure valve releases, allowing…

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Living, as we do, on the other side of Advent, we are drawn in by Matthew as he introduces us to Jesus. Last week we met the Christ child through the experience of Joseph. What incredible faith that Joseph must have had, even in his late teens/early twenties, to receive a dream from God and set his life in obed…

A Christmas Eve sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. What a beautiful Advent season we’ve had together at Eternity! We’ve gathered around the bonfire (or at least that’s what the zealous boiler has made it feel like some days!) and heard the great stories passed from generation to generation. We watched as the Evangelists, Luke and Matthew, took their plac…

A Sunday sermon by Peter DuMont. It has been said that Time is an ingredient in any great dish. A skilled cook knows how to use time (and temperature) to transform, refine, and blend ingredients. God uses time in a similar way in the masterpieces he is forming in the world. This Third Sunday of Advent, we will engage with three people waiting withi…

A Sunday teaching by youth from Eternity: Chadwick, Kezzie, Daphne, Ruby. This Advent we gather around the fire, listening to the storytellers and watching the children play. There is something so real and refreshing about watching children play. Our days can become so encumbered with hurry and worry. And then, against the glowing light of the fire…

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever noticed how much life can become like a helium balloon? We look full and light from the outside, almost bursting at the seams, but it only takes the smallest piercing of the surface to deflate us. Depending on how we approach the season of Advent, it can either be a cherished time of expectancy or…

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Just a few short weeks ago we set out from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to walk the camino across Northern Spain. As our traveling companion and spiritual guide, we took John's first letter. It has comforted and challenged us on the journey. He has soothed our fears and embraced us in God’s love. He has also…

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. I love to walk dirt paths. Maybe because it feels like home. It feels good to walk the way we know so well. Once a year when I was a kid my family would leave our little coastal home on the second floor of the church in Malabo and go to Moka (pictured below), a little village high up the island’s small …

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. There is something special about spending time with the Apostle John. The more time we spend reading his letter to the church of Ephesus and remembering his years of discipleship walking and talking with Jesus, the more one word stands out clearly: love. John is the beloved disciple in the Gospel. His b…

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. On the Way of St. James, the pilgrimage starts in the French Pyrenees and winds to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. For us, we started on this long obedience in the same direction mentally walking the pilgrim’s path alongside the Apostle John as our spiritual guide. Along the way, we’ve found that his first littl…

A Sunday sermon by Brett Deal. Have you ever met someone that you immediately resonated with? It can almost feel like your lives have been lived on parallel lines; you’ve been walking through the same experiences, shared the same thoughts and, all of a sudden, your paths branched toward each other and met at the perfect moment. We all have friends …

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. I used to have three statues in my office. They were wonderful reminders that framed how I approach life and ministry. The first was of Simeon holding the baby Jesus. Simeon, with the Savior of the world swaddled in his arms rejoices that his “eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the …

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. This week, back on the camino with our spiritual guide John, we find ourselves in 1 John 2.28-3.10. As we lace our shoes back up to keep walking our pilgrim path, we find ourselves facing new dimensions of ideas and themes John introduced earlier in the journey. As the children of God, we find ourselves…
