STT| I Will Build My Church (Part A) – Matthew 16:16-18 – Rev. Steve Estes – Elverson, PA

Steve Estes is the senior pastor of Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. He’s been there for around 40 years.

He obtained an undergrad degree from Columbia Bible College (now Columbia International University) and a post-grad degree from Westminster Theological Seminary (WTS). He’s on the board of CCEF (Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation) and has taught a course on preaching at WTS. Besides being a pastor and speaker, Steve is an author of several books. His book writing began with his friendship with Joni Eareckson Tada. They were friends as teenagers and worked through God’s sovereignty in Joni’s paralysis. Joni liked the writing style of Steve’s letters and they co-authored two books together. Steve is married to Verna and they have eight grown children and 16 grandchildren. Steve is among my favorite preachers. 

My family and I recently worshiped with Brick Lane Community Church on my sabbatical, and Steve preached a wonderful message on the importance of other Christians in your life. Please listen to this message titled Help with Being Holy: The Means of Grace: Other Christians – Hebrews 10:23-25.
