Eastside Church

Christmas reveals the ultimate gift of God’s grace: Jesus Christ, born to make a way for us to experience true, dynamic faith. This week, we explore James 2:14-26 and what it means to have a faith that lives, acts, and transforms. Faith without action is dead, but faith coupled with deeds is the evidence of a life surrendered to Christ.

In this powerful conclusion to the sermon series, Pastor Trey Sapp unpacks Jesus’ call to choose The Narrow Door as found in Matthew 7:13-14. Jesus, in the closing moments of the Sermon on the Mount, challenges listeners to make a life-altering decision: the wide, popular way that leads to destruction, or the narrow, difficult road that leads to life.

In week four of The Doors of the Bible series, Pastor John Hull examines The Sheep’s Door, one of the monumental doors in Scripture. Building upon the previous messages about the Ark Door, the Passover Door, and the Inner Temple Door, this message highlights Jesus as the Good Shepherd and the Door for His sheep.

This week in The Doors series, Pastor Scott Kelly takes us through The Temple’s Inner Door. From the holiness of the temple to the tearing of the veil at Jesus’ death, we’ll see how Christ’s sacrifice opened the way for us to have direct access to God.

In week 2 of The Doors, Pastor John Hull explores the meaning of the "Passover Door" in Exodus. During the first Passover, the Israelites marked their doors with lamb’s blood to be spared from God’s judgment—a powerful symbol pointing to Jesus. Just as the Passover lamb protected them, Jesus, the Lamb of God, offers us forgiveness and protection through His sacrifice on the cross.

In this new series, The Doors, Pastor John Hull explores five powerful doors in the Bible. This week, we’re looking at The Ark Door from the story of Noah in Genesis 7:1. Join us as we explore how these doors represent salvation, transformation, and hope in our lives today.

Pastor Scott Kelly explores the two key ordinances of the church—baptism and the Lord’s Supper—as practices commanded by Jesus. He begins by defining an ordinance as a command rather than a sacrament, explaining that these are symbols of God’s grace, not sources of it.

Pastor John Hull explores the two essential offices of the local church: Elders and Deacons. Drawing from I Timothy 3 and I Peter 5, Pastor John explains how these roles are foundational to the health and function of the local church.

Almost two years ago, we formed a "20 Year Vision Team " to prayerfully approach a long -term plan for Eastside Church and School through the year 2044! We are proudly to say, it is here! Please sit down, and enjoy what God has for us here at Eastside.

At Eastside, we gather each Sunday to worship, learn, and encourage each other, celebrating our connection to Christ. Though the world may see the Church as weak or strange, God has chosen it to be His instrument for good on earth, a force that will never be defeated.

As Eastside Church prepares to unveil its "20 Year Vision Plan" (2025-2045), Pastor John Hull invites us to reflect on the wisdom found in both timely and timeless biblical themes. Drawing from selected Proverbs and Psalm 119, this series will emphasize principles that transcend time—principles that continue to shape our lives, families, and communities.

In a world where more people are turning to Google for answers to their most profound questions about God, it's crucial to return to the unchanging truth of Scripture. Pastor Scott Kelly's message, based on Jude 1-4, challenges us to contend for the faith amidst cultural confusion and misinformation.

Pastor John Hull explores the question: Can I know God personally? Drawing from Paul's experience in Athens, where he spoke to philosophers on Mars Hill, Pastor John explains how we can have a personal relationship with God.

Pastor John Hull explores one of the most pressing questions people have about Christianity: Is the Bible reliable? He begins by highlighting the profound role of the Bible as more than just a book—it's God’s way of drawing us into a relationship with Him. Despite the passage of time and attempts to undermine it, the Bible remains “the book for all times and all situations.”

Through this series, we’ll seek to answer these big questions with curiosity and a desire for truth. What does it mean for us if Jesus is truly God? How does that impact our lives today?

Join us as we explore why God allows suffering and how we can find hope and purpose in His plan, even in our most challenging moments.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott Kelly explores the question, "Does Life Have Purpose?" using Ecclesiastes 3:11 as a foundation. He reflects on Solomon's search for meaning through pleasure, knowledge, and wealth, ultimately finding that these pursuits are empty without God.

Pastor Hull explains that Jesus doesn't just show us the way—He is the way. He isn't just a teacher of truth—He is the truth. And He doesn't just give life—He is life. This makes Jesus unique and different from any other religious figure.

In Pastor John Hull's new sermon series, "The Most Googled Questions About God," we start with the big question, "Is There a God?" For anyone curious about God’s existence and looking for clear, thoughtful answers. Join us to explore these big questions and deepen your understanding of God.

In this final message of our series, "Greatest Hits of the New Testament," we turn our attention to "Jesus, Christians, and the Poor," guided by the words of Mark 14:7. This lesson sheds light on how Jesus' teachings inform our response to poverty and our devotion to Him.

This message explores how religion and politics differ from the message of Christ and the Gospel, focusing on Acts 4:23-31. We’ll see how God’s sovereignty stands firm even in political turmoil.
