Eastridge Baptist Church Sermons

This section of Revelation focuses on a vision that John saw showing a scroll that no one on the earth could open except for Jesus, who is depicted as a Lamb. This imagery indicates that Jesus is the only One that is worthy enough to rule the world and to be deserving of every reward and all the praise that we must give Him.

Revelation 4 reveals two awe-inspiring elements of John’s vision of the throne room and exists in part to give us a high view of God, describing the glory and worship of the Father who sits on the throne in Heaven.

This final sermon on the Gospel of Mark focuses on a passage that centers around finding eternal life through Christ. This section of Scripture highlights when a man asked the Lord how to receive eternal life, with Jesus explaining how coming to Him, acknowledging our sin against Him, and treasuring Him will lead to a beautiful life lived in harmony with the Lord.

In a larger section of Jesus' discourses regarding being His disciple, Jesus explains how entrance into the kingdom of God is not earned by one's personal merit and is not granted based on one's perceived usefulness. Only those who come understanding that they are not contributing to their own salvation may receive such a gift.

Continuing His warnings to His disciples about the cost and extremity of discipleship to Christ, Jesus warns His followers to vigorously avoid causing stumbling to others and to themselves. To learn the tutelage of Christ is to follow the example of Christ, to live a life that is a “living sacrifice” (Rom 12:1–2) and to consider one’s own life as loss for the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jes...

In this sermon, one of our Faith Promise partners reflects on four aspects of Solomon's fall so that we may avoid the dangers that led to it.

Followers of Christ need an ongoing reminder of Christ’s sufferings and his death and resurrection in order to remain humble in ministry as we seek to serve others according to the example Christ laid for us to follow.

After an unparalleled event on the mountain top where Jesus has just revealed His glory to His three closest disciples, they return to the other 9 disciples. Upon reuniting with them, they find that the 9 had been unable to exorcise a demon from a young man. Christ diagnoses the problem as a concoction of weakness of faith and independence upon Him. He wisely uses the situation to highlight the ne...

After warning His disciples of the cost of discipleship ( 8:34 – 38), Jesus tells His disciples that He will provide a glimpse into His final victory. 9:1–13 display the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ in such a way that would encourage His followers uniquely as He prepares to shepherd them through His impending death, burial, and resurrection. What is the hope which Christians must cling to? That...

Pastor David Erickson continues our study in the gospel of Mark. Jesus asks His disciples: who do the people say that I am and who do you say that I am?

Pastor Adam Bueltel from Mission Road Bible Church reflects on an account from the Gospel of John that is about John the Baptist which more rightly magnifies the identity of Jesus, as he shares with us three commitments in the life of a believer that magnify the focus on Christ.

This shorter section of Mark is packed with powerful messaging about physical and spiritual blindness. Through an intimate encounter with a blind man, the Lord displays how following Him can allow us to live in the light of eternity by having our eyes be opened

In a world where the truth about Jesus is suppressed for various reasons, Jesus warns His disciples to beware the tendency to be “slow in heart to believe.” In Mark 8:14–21 Christ’s disciples misunderstand His warning which leads Him to warn them further that the danger of a hardened heart is nearer than they think. May the Lord’s church today learn to be ever-vigilant against the deceitfulness of...

Christ is again followed by a large hungry crowd, this time consisting of primarily gentiles. After showing compassion on the gentile Syrophoenician woman (7:24–30) and the healing of the gentile man (vv. 31–37), not Jesus shows that He is the compassionate shepherd who feeds (spiritually and physically) those who would come to Him from any nation (8:1–9). This faithful reception is not mirrored b...

The inherent problem of every human being ever born into this world is their separation from God, which brings loneliness because of our sin which came through the fall of man, as written in Genesis 3. The solution to this problem is faith in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ who is Savior and Redeemer, which brings a global new beginning for all of creation.

This section of Scripture shows many sides to Jesus' human emotions and character, as well as revealing His Godly power to those He interacts with. When seeking to take a break from His previous escapades, our Lord encounters a woman of great faith seeking to have her daughter be healed. Through his responses, we can see how showcasing faith in God can produce powerful results.

Pastor Trevor Ice from Edgewood Bible Church preaches on the next section in Mark, which reveals to us that the great problem in life is not outside of us, rather it comes from within.

The Lamb of God was slain to take away the sins of all those who will trust Him. But three days later He rose from the grave proving that the Father accepted His sacrifice! Now there is one thing left to consider…. Will you trust this salvation or harden your heart against it? “[Jesus Christ]…. there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men...

As the Passover season begins, Jesus arrives to “the city of the great king” (Ps 28:2) and prepares to enter into it. Through the fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9 and Psalm 118, it is clear that Jesus is the Messiah King (cf. Matt 21:1–5, 6–9). However, just because His identity is clear to those who know and believe the word of God, does not mean there are not those who scrutinize the evidence with s...

Jesus is Lord over the laws of nature. The feeding of the five thousand sets the scene for Jesus walking on the Sea of Galilee as He ministered to His disciples in a raging storm.

Guest speaker Matt Bowen from Lakewood Bible Chapel brings us the Word in this video, concluding his messages that he brought to EBC's 2025 Man Up Conference. This passage of Scripture speaks about the importance of becoming an active member of the church body, with Paul speaking of how the congregation must be a proactive body working in tandem to glorify the Lord.

After the Apostles debrief Jesus on the mission He sent them on (vv. 30–32) and after the death of John the Baptist (vv.14–29), Jesus plans for His disciples to have some rest in a “desolate place by themselves” (v. 32). When this restful retreat is interrupted by a massive crowd, Jesus gives up His own rest to compassionately serve the ones who came to find Him. The people are sheep without a she...

When Jesus and His traveling followers had been working overtime proclaiming the gospel and attesting to the gospel’s validity with signs, one of Jesus’ most faithful servants in another place was paying the ultimate price for his allegiance to the One True God. The forerunner for the Messiah, John the Baptist was met with resentment and martyrdom for holding others accountable to biblical princip...

This section of Mark showcases the calling and obedience of the twelve Disciples after Jesus sends them out to preach the Gospel. These verses can serve as a reminder to the reader that the Christian is to be obedient to the calling of spreading and sharing the Gospel so that they may know the message of Christ.
