Eastbrook Church

Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourselves. What does it mean to take that to the streets literally by loving those around us where we live, work, and play? What does it mean for us as a church to love our neighborhood and join God in His work in the midst of our city?

We have a reason to celebrate because of Jesus!

Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourselves. What does it mean to take that to the streets literally by loving those around us where we live, work, and play? What does it mean for us as a church to love our neighborhood and join God in His work in the midst of our city?

Why do we care about our neighborhood at all? Jesus summarized all of the law and the prophets in what has come to be called the Great Commandment; to love God with all of who we are and love our neighbors as ourselves. He then left a final mission – known as the Great Commission – with His followers to make disciples of all nations. What does it mean to bring together the Great Commission and the...

Paul concludes 1 Corinthians 15 with strong words of hope and victory over sin and death. This is a message of hope aimed at the work of God in Jesus Christ.

Because of Greco-Roman thought, many people often consider the gospel message to save us from earth so that we can go to heaven. However, Paul describes a very different situation where the bodily resurrection of Jesus prefigures the bodily resurrection of believers. We talk about the resurrection bodies we will enjoy and what that means about God, heaven, and our understanding of Christian hope.

When Jesus rose from death, he was the “firstfruits” of resurrection. Paul outlines the timing and flow of events that will culminate in the resurrection of the faithful from death. We explore Paul’s writings here with attention to Jesus’ resurrection and our resurrection, issues of those who die and an intermediate state, the ultimate consummation of human history, and how resurrection reveals ho...

Is the resurrection really that important to our faith? Paul goes so far as to say, “if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (1 Corinthians 15:13). Why does the resurrection matter for our faith? We will explore the critical issues Paul raises on this point as we move forward.

We celebrate the resurrection and the gospel message as spoken about by Paul at the beginning of 1 Corinthians 15, bringing together God’s foretold promises, the historical events, and the faith response to God’s grace revealed in Jesus Christ.

A study of two commandments directly related to our relationships with our neighbors and related to themes of lying and jealousy.

A study of three commandments at once related to our actions that overflow from our hearts: murder, adultery and theft.

A study of the first commandment directly linked with a promise: our honoring of our parents.

A study of the holiness of God as reflected in the use of His name and the use of our time.

A study of the importance of worshiping and serving God and God alone in our hearts and lives. Pastor Will also addresses the topic of idolatry.

Pastor Matt introduces the third part of our series on Exodus, the Ten Commandments, their place in Scripture, their application to us as New Testament Christians, and the importance of the journey of Lent.

There are times where all of us deal with conflict in our relationships. How might we best honor God in our relationships at these times? What do we do when someone is driving us crazy? How should we respond when someone is goading us into the wrong response? How do we deal with conflict?

What does biblical marriage really look like? There is so much that could be said, but what are the essential aspects of marriage? How do we relate to one another? Where does happiness fit in with commitment? How should we deal with conflict in marriage? What about divorce?

What does the Bible really have to say about love and dating? Can we date? How should we date? Are we always looking for marriage? Pastor Mark unpacks all of this, as well as discussing sex and relationships.

What does it mean to be friends from a biblical perspective? Pastor Matt begins the series, "Made For It", looking at how God is relational and how we are created in His image to be relational (Genesis 1-3).

There is something that happens when the radical nature of the Gospel gets ahold of our pocketbooks and bank accounts. When we realize the amazing generosity of God toward us, there is something freeing about moving forward in amazing generosity with God toward others. How do we see where God is at work and join Him, even at the cost of our own wealth?

What is enough? One famous wealthy individual said: “just a little bit more.” But perhaps the elusive enough is something from which we need to step away. “Are we not prosperous enough already and missing a far richer life without the perpetual quest for needless economic growth?" What does it look like to live simply, have margin, and develop a God-honoring budget in our lives?

If God owns everything and we are temporary stewards, we should steward what He has given us wisely. We should align our finances with our values. Pastor Jim explores the topic of the tithe as a basic move in giving back to God what He has given to us.
