DWELL: John 14
This Sunday we head back to the chapters we've missed in John, when Jesus spent a long night in conversation with his disciples, after the last supper and before his arrest in the garden. When we don’t know where we’re going, we need a map or a guide. In John 14, Jesus will assure his followers...
-
DWELL: John 21
We’re at the final chapter of John, but not the final week of our Dwell series just yet. There are a few chapters we skipped that we’ll go back and read in May. Today in John 21, we peek in on a conversation between Jesus and Peter, and it’s all about second chances. Our goal is to find...
-
DWELL: John 20
It’s a day to celebrate: resurrection is here! Today we get to the culmination of Jesus’ life on earth: the empty tomb, the defeat of death, the start of something new. We’ll walk through the wonder with the first witnesses of this miracle. And we’ll give ourselves permission to be as baffled as...
-
DWELL: John 19
Today we arrive at the darkest part of Jesus’ life on earth: the cross. Yet as we've read throughout the book of John, we know that this was, indeed, Yahweh's plan all along. Through artists and authors and the pages of history, we'll still find glimmers of light that shine in all the darkness....
-
DWELL: John 18
We welcome one of our elders, Steve Carr, will bring our Sunday message as we view the journey of two of Jesus’ followers, the decisions they made, and how it impacted the rest of their lives. We’re jumping ahead to Jesus’ arrest in John 18 this week to stay in step with Jesus’ final week and our...
-
DWELL: John 13
In John 13, Jesus shocks his disciples with the lowly task of washing their feet at the Passover meal, and the meaning goes deeper than we might expect. We’ll also sit in Jesus’ perspective for a bit, as he anticipates the hurt to come by two of his closest friends. On this fifth Sunday of the...
-
DWELL: John 12
It was a lot for people to grasp back then—it’s still a lot now. Yet we’ll try to connect some dots for ourselves so that we can see the seeds Yahweh planted long, long ago are still growing in our own lives today.
-
DWELL: John 11
How do we grieve as people who have hope? We can learn by looking at the example of Jesus, Martha, and Mary in today’s story of death and resurrection. We’ll be studying John 11, the seventh and final miraculous sign that this gospel reveals from the ministry of Jesus.
-
DWELL: John 10
This week's study from John 10 is about warm and fuzzy sheep. Yet there are layers of hidden messages within Jesus' words, offering hope to some and reproach to others. Come sit in the hopeful message of Jesus, our Good Shepherd.
-
DWELL: John 9
In today’s Scripture study of John 9, we see Jesus heal a man in another wondrous sign, while the surrounding religious leaders are poised to attack everyone involved. The debate leads to a conversation about those who can truly see. We’ll consider Echo’s value of Commission and how we are being...
-
DWELL: John 8
We’ve been watching the tension grow between Jesus and the religious leaders of the day. Today we’ll see in John 8 what pushes Jesus to give some of his harshest critique—and reflect on our own responses when conflict pushes us to action. Today we are excited to have Kendra Dunahugh, one of our...
-
DWELL: John 7
John 7 is all about an annual party in Israel: a week of worship, food, flowing water, and sleeping in tents. Jesus arrives incognito but later makes a splash. He’ll transform a festival that remembers the past and, instead, he’ll point people toward their future. Join us to find out why no one…

DWELL: John 5
If you’re a video game fan, do you mainly focus on the endgame, or do you immerse yourself in side quests? Today we’ll be reading John 5, considering two conversations Jesus had with folks who played the game of life from two different perspectives. Jesus demonstrated that he cares about us...
-
DWELL: John 4
Have you ever truly loathed a person? In Jesus’ day, some people in his community were known for absolutely loathing other groups. How did Jesus respond? He shocked people by having one-on-one conversations with those who were loathed. Jesus’ example in John 4 offers us five things we can do to...
-
DWELL: John 3
What questions about faith keep you up at night? Join us in John 3 today as a prominent religious leader seeks out Jesus with questions. The conversation leads Nicodemus to reevaluate the things he thought he knew about God.
-
DWELL: John 2
Jesus intentionally dropped clues, spoke in symbolism, and cloaked his words in a bit of mystery that took a while for people to figure out. This challenge drew people in and remains engaging today—helping us to make our faith our own. Join us in John 2 today, as we head with Jesus into two...
-
DWELL: John 1
Do you choose a word of the year? Today we begin the first Sunday of this new year with a word. Actually, with THE Word: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” —John 1:1 Everyone has an opinion about God. What’s real? God once dwelled on earth as Jesus.…

-
Jesus: There & Back Again—Hebrews week 13
Today is a message that repeats again and again in Hebrews: we’re already whole, and we’re being made holy.

-
Jesus: There & Back Again—Hebrews week 12 (Easter 2024)
We believe resurrection happens, and here’s a secret: it didn’t just happen on a Sunday morning in an empty tomb in two thousand years ago. Resurrection happens every time we allow Jesus to show up through us to pull someone out of the darkness and back into life. Sermon by: Kelly Carr Connect…

-
Jesus: There & Back Again—Hebrews week 2

-
Jesus: There & Back Again—Hebrews week 1

Jesus Redeems Our Stories: week 8
We come to the end of the letter of Galatians, and Paul urges each person to look at their impact on the whole church. He invited the church then—and we’re invited as the church now—to share each other’s burdens as we live out the fruit of the Spirit. Sermon by: Kelly Carr Connect with us:...
-
Jesus Redeems Our Stories: week 7
Deconstruction: sometimes we need to tear things down to see what pieces are worth holding onto. It’s a modern term but an ancient concept. As we look at an illustration in Galatians 4 today, let’s ask: what are we rebuilding? Sermon by: Kelly Carr Connect with us: echochurch.org
-

Jesus Redeems Our Stories: week 5
Words matter. They are tools to communicate. Yet even though words have serious purposes, that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun and add some style to our communication. Today in Galatians, we find some play on words as Paul communicates to his friends. It has us thinking—do we allow others...

Jesus Redeems Our Stories: week 1
Everyone has a past: things we did, things we believed, things we survived. But Jesus offers everyone a future. Freed from trying to earn our way forward, Jesus redeems our stories and makes us all one in his name. Through his Spirit in our lives, we find new ways to bear fruit and care for one...
