East Shore Baptist Church Sermons

Elder Tom Toone shares five important things for believers to remember as they live for the Lord. Was there a time in your life that you thought that you had to earn your way into heaven? How did you react to that thought? How are you pouring into the next generation of believers?

In this sermon we'll look at the first four of the Ten Commandments from Exodus 20:1-11. These Commandments emphasize how we relate to God. We'll look at how the Israelites applied these commandments, what principles we can learn from them, and how Jesus fulfills them on our behalf.  What does it mean to have "no other gods"? Do I truly live that way?

In this sermon we will talk about God's holiness from Exodus 19. In this passage, God comes down in holiness and power to talk to His people at Mount Sanai. He reveals His holiness and challenges His people to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation that represent His character to the rest of the world. What does it mean that God is holy? What difference does/should His holiness make in my l...

In this sermon we will be in Exodus 18, which tells us about the interaction between Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro (appropriate fo Father's Day). Moses has a story to share with Jethro about how God delivered Moses and his people. Moses also has something to learn from Jethro about sharing the load of leadership. In the same way, every believer today has a story of God's grace to sha...

In this sermon we will continue following God's people through the wilderness in Exodus 17:8-16. In this passage, the LORD brings a military victory to His people showing them the power of prayer, the value of supporting ministry, and most importantly that He is their banner (the One they can trust). How has the LORD shown me that He is worthy of trust? What should trusting Him look like?

In this sermon Elder Dan Long shares God's Word from Exodus 17:1-7 and Philippians 4:8. He'll challenge us to not be like the Israelites, but instead think about things that honor the Lord. When things do not go the way that I want, what do I think about? What should I think about instead?

In this sermon, we'll look at the account of how God provided food for the Israelites to eat in the wilderness from Exodus 16. This passage will remind us how we have a standing invitation from the LORD to a deeper relationship with Him. We don't deserve a relationship with Him, but He invites us to see His glory through His Word, His work, and His Son. A relationship with Him is what ulti...

Elder Tom Toone shares with us from Exodus 15:22-27. We'll talk about moving from bitter complaining to trusting and obeying God.  What do I have a tendency to complain about? What should I do instead?

In this sermon, Moses and the people of Israel will sing a song of praise to God in Exodus 15:1-21. In this song, they will thank Him for rescuing them from the Egyptians at the Red Sea. They'll also thank God for His victory, power, and salvation. Even if we're not the best singers ourselves, this passage will show us how we can pass on the story of what God has done for us to the next ge...

In this sermon we'll look at the incredible story of the people of God crossing the Red Sea from Exodus 14. We will celebrate the wonderful truth that God fights for us! Instead of being trapped by our fear, we can look for the Lord's salvation. Am I trapped by my fear? Do I feel like God fights for me?

In this sermon we'll look at how God led the people of Israel out of Egypt with a pillar of smoke and fire from Exodus 13:17-22. The Lord guided and directed the Israelites' path, protected them, and stayed with His people. He does the same for us today. How does God protect me? What does it look like for me to follow God today?

In this sermon we will focus on how God told His people to remember the Passover in Exodus 12-13. Three times in the passage, God tells the Israelites to explain to their children why they remember the Passover. This teaches us to pass on our faith to those who come after us. We are to tell them how God has saved us, why they should join God's people, and why we worship/serve Him the way that...

In this sermon we look at the first Passover and the Israelites, well...um, exodus from Exodus 12. We talk about how the exodus is a picture of how God rescues us through the death of the lamb of God, Jesus Christ. How did God rescue the Israelites from slavery in Egypt? How does He rescue us from slavery to sin?

This week we are going to be looking at Isaiah 62, the whole chapter. One core tenet of East Shore is evangelism, we love it, we share the gospel every week. We collect the evangelism stories each week to encourage us to press on. As this is Pastor Tom's final sermon, he wants to encourage you all the more to continue sharing the gospel! It is Pastor Tom’s prayer that Isaiah 62 will only stren...

In this sermon we are going to look at the 9th plague, the darkness covering over Egypt. It is a fitting passage for Easter Sunday because we will see that Jesus also faced the darkness and overcame it, which means all of us, through Christ, are brought out of the darkness.

In this sermon we finish our study of the plagues from Exodus 10-11. Throughout this section we'll see rising tension as God brings more devastation on Egypt. At the same time, more and more people in Egypt are understanding who God is, but Pharaoh still refuses to budge until it is too late. Our time one earth will run out too, but (as long as we have breath) it is not too late for us to turn...

In this sermon we continue our study of the plagues from Exodus 8-9. These chapters highlight God's power and the special care and concern that He shows towards His people. We will also consider the purpose God had for bringing these plagues and the response that He calls us to today. Am I a part of God's people? If so, how does He care for me?

This week, we'll start looking at the Plagues, a titanic clash between Pharaoh with the false gods of Egypt vs. the One true God. In this chapter, we'll focus on what God is doing through the plagues (making Himself known) and the power He has over everything.

In this sermon we will look at Exodus 5-6. We'll talk about Moses' first failed effort to free the Israelites and what we should do when things seem to go from bad to worse. When things seem to go wrong, we can trust that God is with us. When things seem to go wrong in my life, what do I do? What should I do?

In this sermon we'll consider what it means to be a son or child of God from Exodus 4:18-31. We'll talk about how God is in control of everything that happens to us and how He defends and rescues His people. In response, He calls us to obey and worship Him. Am I a child of God? If so, what difference does that make in my life?

Elder Tom Toone shares from Exodus 4:1-17. In this passage, Moses is told by God to do something for Him, just like He tells us to do things for Him. Moses comes up with reasons/excuses for why he can't do what the Lord is asking, just like we come up with reasons/excuses for ignoring God's directions. God is patient and gracious in reassuring Moses up to a certain point. God is patient an...

In this sermon we look at the powerful first encounter Moses has with God at the burning bush from Exodus Chapter 3. Along with Moses, we will learn that God is holy, that He is our deliverer, that He will be with us, that He is the great I AM, and that He is in control of all things. What does it mean that God is holy? What difference should that make in my life?

Exodus 2:23-25 will lead us to rejoice in the truths that God hears us when we call, God remembers His relationship with us, God sees what we are going through, and God fully and completely knows us. Do I really believe that God hears, sees, and knows me? What difference does that belief make in my life?

In this sermon we'll look at the first 80 years of Moses' life from Exodus 2:1-22. We'll see how God preserved Moses' life, how Moses chose to identify with God and His people, and how God prepared Moses for the task that He had in store for him. We will be challenged to praise God for how He has preserved and saved us, to choose a relationship with Him, and to trust Him as He prep...

We continue our new series in Exodus 1:8-22. This passage will teach us the value God places on life and the consequences that can occur when we don't value God's gift of life. We also discover God's loving care for His people and the greatest example of someone who values life in the person and work of Jesus Christ. What happens when people do not value life? How can I live in a way t...
