Eastmont Church Weekly Teachings

Pastor TJ teaches through Psalms 119, highlighting the beauty, power, and sufficiency of God's Word. He explains that Scripture is more than information—it is God's revealed truth that gives life, strength, hope, wisdom, comfort, and direction for every season of life. TJ shows that as believers grow in their understanding of God's Word, it shapes both their hearts and their actions, producing del...

Pastor TJ teaches through Psalms 46, reminding believers that God is their refuge, strength, and ever-present help in times of trouble. Using the story of King Hezekiah and the Assyrian siege as background, he explains that God's people do not need to fear, even when life feels chaotic, uncertain, or overwhelming, because God is sovereign over every circumstance. TJ emphasizes that the refuges and...

Pastor Jeremy teaches through Psalms 103, calling believers to intentionally remember and praise God for who He is and all that He has done. He explains that David speaks to his own soul, reminding himself of God's benefits—including forgiveness, redemption, healing, and steadfast love—especially during seasons of discouragement or doubt. Jeremy emphasizes that God's benefits should lead believers...

Pastor Blaine teaches through Psalms 42–43, focusing on how Christians should respond to seasons of grief, sorrow, and despair. He explains that the psalmist is honest about his pain, feeling distant from God, overwhelmed by suffering, and longing for the days when life felt different. Yet instead of letting his emotions have the final word, he repeatedly speaks truth to himself, reminding his sou...

Pastor Dan teaches through Psalms 73, focusing on the struggle of seeing wicked people prosper while those who follow God suffer. He explains that Asaph nearly loses his footing because he becomes consumed with envy and frustration, questioning whether following God is even worth it. Everything changes when Asaph enters God's presence and gains an eternal perspective, realizing that earthly succes...

Pastor Blaine continues his teaching on Israel and the Church by answering questions about who Israel is, how God's promises apply today, and what the Kingdom of God means. He explains that while salvation is available only through faith in Jesus Christ, God remains faithful to His promises and still has a future plan for Israel. Blaine points to Jesus as the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan,...

Pastor Blaine taught on the relationship between Romans 9–11, Israel, and the Church, encouraging Christians to let the Bible shape their views instead of politics or internet opinions. He explained that God chose Israel in the Old Testament to be the people through whom the world would come to know Him, but many rejected Jesus when He came as the Messiah. Because of that, the gospel spread to the...

Pastor Blaine taught from Romans 8:31–34, focusing on the confidence and assurance Christians can have because of what Jesus has done for them. He explained that when Paul says, "If God is for us, who can be against us," it doesn't mean life will be easy, but that nothing can ultimately separate believers from God or overturn their salvation. Blaine emphasized that the greatest proof of God's love...

Pastor Blaine taught from Romans 8:26–30, focusing on how Christians endure suffering through both the hope of future glory and the present help of the Holy Spirit. He explained that human weakness is often seen most clearly when suffering leaves us unable to even articulate what we feel or how to pray, yet the Holy Spirit intercedes on behalf of believers according to God's will. Blaine emphasize...

Pastor Jeremy taught from Romans 8:18–25, focusing on how both creation and humanity "groan" under the weight of sin and brokenness, yet believers groan differently because they have the Holy Spirit as a promise of future glory. He emphasized that suffering is not meaningless but is part of God's process to shape us into the likeness of Christ, calling Christians to develop a right theology of suf...

Pastor Blaine teaches that the suffering of this present life—whether persecution, pain, illness, loss, or emotional hardship—is real, but cannot compare to the eternal glory awaiting believers in Christ. Paul's point is not to minimize suffering, but to give it proper perspective by contrasting temporary pain with infinite joy. Blaine explains that all creation itself is broken and "groaning" und...

Pastor Blaine explains that the gospel doesn't just forgive sin or declare us innocent—it brings believers into God's family through adoption. Those led by the Spirit are no longer slaves living in fear, but sons and daughters who can call God "Father," with the Holy Spirit giving them deep assurance of that identity. This new status means believers are heirs with Christ, promised a future inherit...

Pastor TJ teaches that the resurrection is the foundation of the Christian faith, proving Jesus is who He says He is and guaranteeing eternal life for believers. Because the Holy Spirit now dwells in Christians, they are no longer enslaved to sin but are called to actively fight and put it to death. Sin is not something to manage—it is destructive and must be killed. This battle is fought through...

This Easter message focuses on Jesus' question, "Who do you say that I am?" highlighting that while many people have opinions about Jesus, true understanding matters most. Peter correctly calls Him the Christ but misunderstands that it requires suffering and death, which Jesus explains is necessary for our salvation. Following Jesus is not just belief but surrender—denying yourself and valuing ete...

Pastor Blaine explains that true Christians are defined by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, not by knowledge, works, or experiences, and this gives believers real confidence in their relationship with Christ. Through a Trinitarian lens, he highlights that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in believers, guaranteeing both spiritual life now and physical resurrection in the f...

Pastor Blaine teaches that there are only two kinds of people—those living according to the flesh and those living according to the Spirit—and that our nature is revealed by what we set our minds and affections on. A life focused on the flesh leads to death, while a life centered on the Spirit leads to life and peace. He emphasizes that sin is active hostility toward God and that salvation is not...

Pastor Blaine explains how the gospel makes it possible for believers to live free from condemnation. Because humanity could not keep God's law, weakened by sin, God sent Jesus in human flesh to accomplish what we could not. Through Christ's death and resurrection, the penalty for sin is fully paid and the righteous requirement of the law is fulfilled for those who trust in Him. Blaine emphasizes...

Pastor TJ explains that Romans 8:1 is the culmination of everything Paul has argued in the first seven chapters of Romans: because of Christ's finished work, believers are completely freed from condemnation. Even though Christians still experience an ongoing battle with sin, their position before God is secure. TJ emphasizes that salvation is not based on our performance but on our union with Chri...

Pastor Blaine explains that the Christian life is marked by an ongoing war between a redeemed heart and remaining sin. Paul's cry, "Wretched man that I am," reflects not defeat but humility—an honest recognition that even believers still battle sinful desires. The law is good and exposes sin, but only Christ delivers. Blaine emphasizes that victory over sin requires both fleeing temptation and act...

Pastor Blaine explains that the law itself is not sinful; rather, it reveals the depth of our sin. Using Paul's example of coveting, he shows how the law exposes what is already in the human heart and even provokes rebellion in our sinful nature. The problem is not God's commands but our condition. The law is holy, righteous, and good, but because of sin it brings awareness of guilt and ultimately...

Pastor TJ explains that believers are no longer under the authority or condemnation of the law because they have died to it through the body of Christ. Using the illustration of marriage, Paul shows that death changes relationship and authority—just as death frees a person from marriage law, believers' death with Christ frees them from the law's rule. Blaine emphasizes that the law was never meant...

Pastor Blaine addresses immigration by calling the church to think biblically rather than politically or emotionally. He explains that Scripture affirms nations, borders, and governing authorities as God-ordained, with a responsibility to uphold law, order, and justice. At the same time, individual Christians are called to show compassion, mercy, and dignity to every person made in God's image. Bl...

This sermon continues through Romans 6, focusing on what it means to live under grace rather than sin. Pastor Blaine explains that while believers are no longer ruled by sin, they still face a daily choice about who they will serve. Everyone is a slave to something—either sin, which leads to death, or obedience to God, which leads to righteousness and life. Blaine emphasizes that grace doesn't rem...

This sermon addresses the sanctity of human life by grounding its value in God's design and character. Pastor Blaine teaches that every human life is created in the image of God, giving it inherent worth, dignity, and purpose from conception to natural death. He emphasizes that the issue is not ultimately political or cultural, but theological—how we view God determines how we treat human life. Th...

Pastor Blaine teaches that because believers are united with Christ, their old sinful self has been crucified and no longer has dominion over them. Salvation changes both our position before God and how we practically live in this life. Christians are no longer slaves to sin but are called to live under Christ's lordship, presenting every part of their lives—heart, mind, speech, and actions—as ins...
