East Cobb Church

People aren’t avoiding church because they don’t have needs, but because they’re unsure church is a safe place to be honest about them.

We take values like human dignity, compassion, and justice for granted today, but they only feel obvious because the church first introduced them.

Against all odds, contrary to what everyone though possible, on Christmas, God came close.

Christmas marks the arrival of a solution to an unsolvable problem—how to stand before God when obedience isn't good enough.

No one was looking for God to appear in person, yet Jesus came to make the invisible God unmistakably known.

It’s common to feel a tug-of-war between inner anxiety and recognizing God’s nearness. In this conversation with Andy Stanley and Steve Cuss, we’re invited to consider some false needs that may be steering our reactions.

First-century Israel expected a king who would overthrow Rome. Jesus offered a kingdom far bigger—and he had to redefine “Messiah” before they could see it.

Most people agree that Jesus was a good teacher and a kind man. But Christians claim something far greater—that he was God in the flesh. In this message, we’ll explore the evidence behind that claim and consider what it could mean for our lives today.

Everyone says God is good—but my life is full of things that aren’t. So how do those two things fit together? In this message, we’ll look at how God relates to pain and evil and whether we can really trust him to do what’s right.

I can’t see God, hear him, or touch him—so how can I know he’s really there? This is the first question of faith and maybe the biggest one of all. In this message, we’ll explore evidence for God’s existence and discover how we can personally experience him in our lives.

We set out to build a church where the convinced and the curious could belong.

It’s one thing to trust God when you’ve lost control; it’s another to resist acting like God once you’ve gained it.

When life goes from bad to worse, will you simply react—or respond as if God is still with you?

Your life isn’t defined by what’s been done to you, but by how you choose to respond—especially when every instinct says to react.

There are a lot of things in life that make us say that. Somebody should do something! God should do something! But what if God is doing something, and his plan involves you and me. Join us as we discover Gods plan for helping a world in need.

The hardest part of waiting isn’t always the delay itself. Sometimes it’s the uncertainty of why God seems absent when we need him most.

We’re convinced that if we just do the right things, life will turn out the way we want—but what do you do when the formula breaks and you’re left waiting, powerless, and discontent?

Our biology and culture push us toward impatience, but God calls us to trust that what he’s doing in us is worth the wait.

Andy Stanley’s conversation with Bruce Deel highlights the inspiring work of City of Refuge, a Be Rich partner dedicated to moving people from crisis to independence.

Not everyone will have the opportunity to be famous, but everyone has the opportunity to be great.

Family can be both the most rewarding and most challenging part of life. The challenge is accepting the messy “real” while still aiming for God’s “ideal.”

People miss or dismiss Jesus sometimes, but when they do it’s usually for an unnecessary reason.

We don’t miss out in life because opportunities aren’t there—we miss out because we let deception, distraction, or disobedience rob us of them.

Community is where life and faith get practical, personal and powerful. Find your few in a community group.

The name of Jesus is our source of power, salvation and connection to God.
