Eastside Christian Church Weekly Message

In today’s message, Mike Whittymore and Mike Havren tag‑team to address the rapid spread of Artificial Intelligence in our daily lives. AI may offer quick answers, but it has real limitations—and it cannot replace the wisdom God gives through Scripture, nor the irreplaceable touch of human relationships. As believers, we’re invited to use these tools with discernment and keep God’s Word as our fin...

Reels—short, rapid‑fire video clips—are everywhere in today’s social media. They tap into our instinct for instant gratification, but could they also be feeding us false information or distorted theology? This week, Jason launches a new series exploring how modern technology can quietly shape our beliefs and how we may be taking in lies without even realizing it. 1 Peter 3:15 "but in your hea...

On this Father’s Day, Jason challenges men to lead, to love and to last faithfully. Lasting means being dependable — showing up, putting your family first, and staying steady through every season. Jason reflects on the example of his grandfather, whose life modeled these virtues in powerful ways. Proverbs 27:17 - Iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another. We'd love to connect with you today,...

In today’s message, Jason reveals a consistent pattern in how truth gets twisted—beginning with the serpent in the Garden of Eden. The enemy seeks to distort and destroy in any way possible, and today we examine one of those distortions: the modern idea that identity is fluid. Genesis 3: 1-5 - Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to...

In today’s message, Jason addresses the common cultural claim that abortion is simply reproductive healthcare. He takes an honest look at what is truly happening beneath that language and reminds us that remaining silent on this issue can be interpreted as agreement. Jesus calls us to speak the truth in love.  Psalm 139: 13-16 - "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother...

This week we honor our 2026 graduates! And in today's message, Jason challenges the cultural mindset of “What’s mine is mine.” Jesus teaches a radically different way—one marked by humility and generosity. Jason explores how the way we use our money reveals where we place our faith and trust. The Scripture focus for today’s message is John 6 and the feeding of the five thousand. In this famili...

In today’s message, Mike Whittymore addresses the common belief that there are many paths to heaven. Was Jesus’ message meant to be exclusive? How would Jesus respond to the wide range of viewpoints in today's culture? Mike explores these questions in light of scripture and highlights the singular path to heaven that Jesus offers to all. John 14:6 "Jesus said… I am the way, and the truth,...

Today we launch a new series centered on truth vs lies. Is truth absolute or subjective? Is it a vague concept understood only by the highly intelligent? In this opening message, Mike Havren challenges us to see that the deepest battle in every human heart is the fight between truth and deception.  John 14:6 "Jesus said… I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except...

Today we celebrate and honor our mothers — for every meal prepared, every tear wiped away, and every prayer whispered. These small, faithful acts become the bricks of a foundation her family can stand on for years to come. This morning we’ll look at how Paul’s young protégé, Timothy, was shaped by the sincere and well-known faith of his mother and grandmother.  2 Timothy 1:5 "I am reminded of...

This week we wrap up our "What's Our Purpose" series to discuss our mission as a Church and as individual Christians. When Jesus appeared to the disciples after his crucifixion He gave them this directive: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.&...

This week is a continuation in the series, "What Is Our Purpose." We talk through the power and purpose behind the call we all have to Make A Difference. This is the natural result of a life of love for God and others, and from the relationships we pursue. Listen to the end for a simple, yet life-changing challenge. Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world... In the same way,...

Do you desire to be a friend, do you have margin for that? How important are relationships? Having relationships is an important aspect of God's design as reflected in the ministry of Jesus. Not only did He come to die for our sins, but for several years He built relationships with those around Him. In this message Jason discusses the fundamental purpose of the Church to build relationships. N...

Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God and to love people. Is this one purpose for us, or is it two? Is it possible to love people but not love God? Are you pursuing God with your heart, soul, mind and strength? In this video Jason kicks off the series titled "What is our purpose?", which explores the guiding principles of our Christian faith. And one of the scribes … asked H...
