GREED OR GENEROSITY?
                                             

When your time on earth is done, your life will be defined by one of two words. Greed or Generosity. So which one will it be? 

This is one of the important defining questions of your life, because it will determine, not only if your life blesses others, but also if God can bless your life! 

So invite a friend, and be at ERBC this weekend, as we continue our STEP UP teaching series by looking at the story of The Good Samaritan and how we can 'step up' to a life of generosity (by the way, it's about far more than just money). 

And to get ahead on Sunday's message, click HERE to read the story of The Good Samaritan from Luke 10. 
 
We have services every Saturday at 5:30PM and every Sunday at 9:00 & 11:00AM
 
See you this weekend!

STEP UP SPECIAL OFFERING
NOW THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2016 
                                             

Dear ERBC Family,
 
Just a quick reminder that we're coming into the home stretch of our "STEP UP" Special Offering.  This call to sacrificial giving with a goal of $60,000 will help us to fund five important ministry and missions areas:
  • Planting Churches
  • Reaching Out Globally
  • Reaching Out Locally
  • Reaching the Next Generation and Funding New Ministry Opportunities
  • Helping the Hurting at ERBC
 
Remember, 100% of this offering is designated directly toward missions around the world and to specific ministry opportunities here in our church and city to help the less fortunate.
 
This once-a-year, over-and-above offering will enable us to accomplish things together as a church in 2016 that wouldn't otherwise be possible. If you're not familiar with our Special Offering I invite you to find out more about how you can STEP UP:
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm so thankful for the generosity of our ERBC family.  So far $48,000 has been given toward our goal of $60,000.  That means we are 80% of the way there!
 
Will you prayerfully consider making a final (or first) gift to "Step Up" this week?
 
Will you also join me in praying for our "Step Up" Special Offering --and that we reach our final goal by the end of this month?
 
Thanks so much for your partnership in the work of God through ERBC!
 
God bless,
Pastor Rick
