Eastview Students: High School

// RESPONDING, NOT REACTING // When conflict hits, our first instinct is often to react — to defend, to snap, to fight back. But what if there’s a better way? Guest speaker Jason Sniff unpacks what Scripture says about responding instead of reacting, and how we can prepare our hearts before conflict even starts. He’ll also share practical steps for when we’ve already messed up, or when the other p...

// Why Do We Fight? // We all experience conflict—but what’s really going on beneath the surface? In the first message of our new series Are We Fighting, we explore why conflict happens, what’s stirring in our hearts when it does, and why we need to bring it to God before bringing it to others.

// WHEN VISION BECOMES REALITY // In the final week of our "Becoming Our Vision" series, Zach talks about the importance of living out our vision and bringing hope and healing to those around us. What would it look like for you to do this in your everyday life?

// IN JESUS // This week, Zach talks about what it looks like to bring hope and healing to those around us in Jesus. Jesus is our fuel, and as we spend time with Him and make Him our priority, we are then able to go out into the community and live for Him. Where in your life can you bring love, life, hope, and healing in Jesus? Note: Week 3 is unavailable due to recording issues. We apologize for...

// LOVING + LIFE-GIVING PEOPLE // In week 2 of our “Becoming our Vision” series, Zach unpacks the first part of our statement, “Loving, Life-Giving People.” In a culture where love is reduced to a feeling and life giving people are sometimes hard to come by, we want our students to love regardless of feelings and bring life to every place they go. This sermon invites our students to take inventory...

In the final week of our Gospel Made Simple series, Pastor Zach brings Junior High and High School students together for a powerful conversation about worldviews. He unpacks several popular worldviews and contrasts them with the truth of the Christian Gospel, urging students to move beyond simply hearing the message — and to believe it for themselves.

This week’s message features a special combined service with our Junior High and High School students as we continue our series, The Gospel Made Simple. Junior High Pastor Matt McClane teaches from Exodus 34, where God reveals His character to Moses. Through this powerful passage, we’re reminded of who God truly is—compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, forg...

// CREATION & THE FALL // This week, we start a new series called "The Gospel Made Simple." How many of us would be able to answer the question, "What is the Gospel?"

This week, Zach focuses on the creation of the world, and Adam & Eve's sin that caused t...

// The Gifts of the Holy Spirit // This week, we close out our "Watch the Wind" series as guest preacher Zach Calvert dives into Spiritual Gifts. What are Spiritual Gifts, and how do we discover and utilize them? What are some examples of people utilizing these Spiritual Gifts? Zach answers these questions & more!

What does it look like to keep in step with the Spirit on a daily basis?

// The Holy Spirit in the Life of Jesus // This week, Zach explores the powerful connection between Jesus and the Holy Spirit, walking through key passages that reveal how Jesus was led, empowered, and guided by the Spirit.

// Jonah 4:5-11 // This week, guest preacher Jason Sniff (Pastor of Small Groups) closes out our Jonah series by focusing on some key questions found at the end of Jonah.

// Jonah 4:1-4 // This week, Zach talked about what is beneath the surface of the hard emotions and feelings we experience on the outside. Ultimately, there is a lot to learn from Jonah’s interaction with God, but the good reminder that God's Grace is big enough to transform any circumstance or feeling.

// Jonah 2:1-10 // Continuing with our Jonah series, this week's focus is on Jonah being swallowed by a big fish. Jonah's sin led to a pretty significant consequence, just like our sin does in our own lives. Jonah, however, repents, and praises God for being with him, even in the midst of suffering. How can we respond in a similar way to the sin and suffering in our own lives?

// Jonah 1:4-17 // As Jonah was running from God, he found himself on a boat in the middle of a huge storm that God had sent his way. Jonah was face-to-face with his sin, and he needed to own it. As Christ followers, we also have sin in our lives that we need to own. We can't hide our sin, run from it, numb it, or ignore it - we need to face it head-on. We also can be encouraged by the reminder th...
