Eastside Church

This message highlights two unshakable reasons for hope. First, Jesus made Himself like us—entering our broken world, suffering as we suffer, and dying in our place to break the power of death and bondage. Second, Jesus conquered death for us—freeing us from the lifelong fear of what lies beyond the grave.

This Sunday we launch our new Christmas series, The Thrill of Hope, with a message called “The Birth of Hope.” From Galatians 4:4–5, we discover that the arrival of Jesus wasn’t random — it was perfectly timed, purposefully sent, miraculously born, and personally inviting. In just two verses, Paul unveils four powerful truths: God fulfilled His promise, intervened with grace, entered our world thr...

This week we’re learning that God made us for community—and He leads us to the friends who help us grow! Through the story of David and Jonathan, kids will see what real, loyal friendship looks like. Most of all, we’ll discover that Jesus is our greatest friend and shows us how to love others.

n this week’s message, Pastor John Hull continues our Firm Foundation series by guiding us into one of the most important truths of the Christian life: we have been set free from the power of sin. While Romans 1–5 reveals our position in Christ through justification, Romans 6–8 shows us how to live out that reality every day.

Pastor John unpacks Paul’s teaching on what some call “hyper-grace,” showing how grace was never meant to be a spiritual “Get Out of Jail Free” card. In Romans 6, Paul reminds us that we are spiritually baptized into Christ’s death and resurrection—a “dry baptism” that identifies us fully with Him (1 Corinthians 12:13).

Pastor John explores how every person begins “in Adam,” marked by sin and separation from God, but through faith can become “in Christ,” receiving the incredible gifts of righteousness, grace, and eternal life. What Adam’s fall destroyed, Christ’s victory restored — and that’s reason to rejoice!

In this week’s message, Pastor John Hull reminds us that every one of us stands in God’s courtroom—guilty and unable to defend ourselves. But through Jesus Christ, the Judge becomes our Savior, and the verdict changes forever.

We were blessed to have Kenn at our church, where he shared the Word with joy, laughter, and a powerful reminder that faith and fun can go hand in hand. His ability to make people laugh while pointing them to Jesus left our congregation encouraged, refreshed, and smiling from ear to ear.

In this week’s message, Pastor Scott continues the A Finished Foundation series by turning to what may be the most important chapter in all of Romans—the heart of the Gospel. After exposing the reality of sin and moral failure in chapters 1 and 2, Paul now delivers both the verdict and the hope of humanity’s condition.

In this message, Sinful Morality, Pastor John Hull reminds us that our moral behavior or good intentions can’t earn God’s approval. Like a driver who forgets to check their blind spot, we often fail to see our own sin and self-righteousness. Using the “keys” Paul lists in Romans 2—knowledge, truth, guilt, deeds, impartiality, and motive—Pastor John reveals how God’s judgment is perfectly fair and...

In the opening message, God’s Diagnosis of the Human Condition, we’re confronted with the reality that every person is born into sin—and that no amount of effort or morality can make us right with God. Only through Jesus Christ can we experience true righteousness and transformation. Romans 1 uncovers three core truths: the depravity of the human heart, the present reality of God’s wrath, and the...

In Daniel 6, we see how one man’s faith and courage stood firm against impossible odds. Faced with a royal decree threatening his life, Daniel refused to compromise his devotion to God. His boldness came from two key practices: living with integrity—being the same on the inside as on the outside—and daily, intentional prayer. By examining Daniel’s example and God’s protection, we learn how to stan...

In this powerful message from the Bold Ones series, Pastor Scott unpacks the remarkable story of Esther, a woman whose bold faith changed the course of history. Centered on Esther 4:13-16, the sermon reminds us that God is not only present in the obvious miracles but also in the quiet, hidden moments of our lives. Through Esther’s rise from obscurity to royal influence, we’re challenged to embrace...

What should you do when you're facing a situation that feels impossible — when fear is overwhelming and everything seems to be working against you? In Part 2 of The Bold Ones, Pastor John Hull explores the life of David, a man who experienced incredible pressure yet chose to stand with boldness and courage in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

We all have a past. For some, it’s a past we’d rather forget—especially the parts we carry from before we came to know Christ. In this opening message of the Bold Ones series, Pastor John Hull unpacks the story of Moses—a man with a complicated past, a criminal record, and 40 years of hiding in the desert—who is called by God to step into a bold new future.

Repentance is more than a personal decision—it’s a vital rhythm for every Christ-centered home. In this final message of the HOME/WORK series, Pastor John Hull challenges us to create a culture of humility and grace through honest confession and repentance. When parents model this, it doesn’t weaken the home—it strengthens it.

In the fourth message of our Home/Work series, Pastor John Hull explores what it means to cultivate security within our families. In a culture where the word “security” carries many meanings, this message focuses on the kind of emotional and spiritual safety every home needs.

This Sunday, Pastor Trey teaches how our actions, words, and honesty reflect what’s in our hearts—and how our communication can bring glory to God. From creation to Scripture, God speaks clearly. Now, He invites us to do the same in our homes and relationships.

Small acts of selfishness can quietly weaken our most important relationships. From 2 Corinthians 5:15 and Ephesians 4:32, Pastor Scott shows how Jesus calls us to live beyond ourselves—empowered by the Holy Spirit to show kindness, compassion, and forgiveness in our homes and beyond.

What happens at home shapes who we become far more than most people realize. In this brand-new series, HOME/WORK, Pastor John Hull challenges us to view the home not just as a place to live—but as the front line for spiritual growth and discipleship.

Pastor John reminds us that even when our circumstances shake us, God remains steady. He is holy, powerful, redemptive, and faithful. When doubts rise, the answer isn’t always instant clarity—it’s remembering who God has proven Himself to be.

Psalm 110 stands as one of the most significant and quoted Messianic Psalms in all of Scripture—second only to Psalm 2 in its influence on the New Testament. In this powerful message, Pastor John Hull unpacks the deep and prophetic truths of this Psalm, showing how it points directly to Jesus Christ—God’s true Messiah.

What makes Jesus so compelling—so radically different—is that He gets us. Though He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and present everywhere, He chose to step into our world and walk in our shoes. In this message, Pastor Ed unpacks the humanity of Christ in a powerful way. From the high of His baptism to the low of His wilderness testing, Jesus experienced life as we do—joys, pressures, temptations, a...

Dr. J delivered a powerful and timely message about the spiritual condition of our nation. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Proverbs 14:34, he walked us through four roads—righteousness, ruin, reality, and revival—and challenged us to respond with preparation, prayer, prioritizing God, and living with purity.

In this message, Pastor John Hull unpacks three powerful themes from Scripture that remain just as relevant today as they were when they were first written: A Good Name, Truth and Wisdom, and Words and Phrases.
