Eric Ludy Sermon Podcast: Church At Ellerslie

The Follies of the Victors Speaker: Eric Ludy Study: The Follies of the Victors   This is the first installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this series on the 1939-1945 war, he is underscoring the parallels between physical battle and our spiritual war as believers. And, it’s remarkable to see how the struggles and vast challenges of WW2 can supply a magnificent portrayal of the two kingdoms at war to a believer’s understanding. In this particular episode Eric focuses on the thoroughness of the defeat of our enemy at the Cross and yet how our moral lassitude as the Church has allowed the devil to rebuild up his military strength and utterly tear down the foundations of the Church of Jesus Christ. It’s high-time we awakened! Support this podcast

This is the fourth and final installment in a very unique teaching series that Pastor Ludy prepared for his church body in August and September of 2019. We are calling this the "Passing the Baton” series, because that is exactly what it was. The executive pastoral team at Ellerslie (Eric Ludy, Dan McConnaughey, and Nathan Johnson) officially handed off the pastoral care of the church on September 15 to the six pastoring elders that had served underneath their leadership. It was a beautiful and profound process of entrustment. In many ways, the nine pastors were feeling in the dark as they navigated through this. But it was obvious to all of them that Eric, Dan, and Nathan needed to put their focus on Ellerslie Discipleship Training and that the six church elders were ready to take the helm at the church. If you would like to get a behind the scenes peek at this unique and rare process, listen to this four part series. Eric will continue to deliver sermons regularly in the daily campus church gatherings

Utilizing the powerful story of Jonathan and his armor bearer, Eric Ludy showcases in and through this message the richness of audaciously following Jesus Christ. While the rest of the Church (metaphorically speaking) remains in Gilgal sitting under the pomegranate tree, are we willing to rise up and do that which is necessary to wipe the spittle from our beloved Messiah’s face?  Support this podcast

The Church is called the “Bride of Christ” and as such we mustn’t forget that we are to bear the life, character, and Name of our groom, Jesus Christ.

So often as Christians we can quickly “take a side” and have our focus on something important, but miss the equally important opposite side. For example, the Christian church should be Bible-centered AND at the same time also be action-oriented. It is not an either/or but a both/and. In this message, Pastor Eric Ludy tackles the subjects of conservatism, truth and grace, and the tension between Bible-centered and action-oriented living—and reminds us never to forget the center of all things: Jesus Christ.

Holiness to the Jew was (and is) absolutely essential and not to be taken lightly. God Himself is perfect holiness and calls us to be holy just as He is. Throughout Scripture the concept of “stones of fire” shows up several times to enunciate the presence of God, cleansing and purging of confessed sin, and the destruction of defiant evil and unrepentant sin. When we see God’s consuming fire and perfect holiness (His “stones of fire”) we must ask, “who may stand in His holy place?” – for we are unrighteous and deserve his holy judgment. Yet these stones of fire is also a reminder of God’s burning mercy. In this sobering message, Pastor Eric Ludy examines the “stones of fire” throughout Scripture and calls us to tread honorably upon the sacred grounds of God’s righteous judgment. Support this podcast
