This week, as we look at the opening to the book of Ecclesiastes, we want to dig into what Solomon calls hevel (“meaningless” or “vanity”), which Solomon spends several verses describing.
What exactly does Solomon mean by hevel? In what ways is life characterized by hevel? And how does that truth point us towards the life that God wants for us?

Welcome. In this special message, our Pastor of Adult Ministries Colin Baker, shares some some raw and real things about his life and how coming to know Jesus changed everything.
We hope you are led to consider how your life can be changed today, and forever, through the Love of God and forgiveness of Jesus.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16-17

Jesus is a catalyst, model, and ambassador for what was real. I don't mean that Jesus wasn't a big proponent for virtual reality in the first century AD.
However, as we look at Jesus' interaction during his earthly ministry, we see beautiful pictures of authentic love, effective empathy, and perfect understanding leading to conversations and actions bringing about truth in an individual's life.
As we consider reality, it is important to define just what Jesus displayed and taught. Jesus saw past people's perceptions of God, the world, and even himself. He was and is expectation defying.
This message examines a pair of examples in which Jesus cut through pretense and assumption, in love, sharing a message that created space for the reality of our deep dependence on God that could be seen, heard, felt, and experienced.
As this is applied to our attitudes, actions, and responses regarding technology and current cultural norms that reinforce self-promotion, self-satisfaction, and self-fulfillment, we see Jesus serve others by living God's reality in front of people. He brought perfect dependence on God and modeled it perfectly.
He embodied everything it means to be an ambassador of God's reality where it became clear - mankind belongs to God; completely and utterly dependent; made to give God glory by loving Him, abiding with Him, trusting Him, and obeying Him.
In that reality, we become catalysts, models, and ambassadors of God's reality - serving to heal fissures between people created by the brokenness in our lives and world.
As we live in God's reality, we commit to a life of authentic love, empathy, and effort in understanding the 'people behind the posts.
We recognize that no matter the content or context, we have a role to play as genuine followers of Jesus in sharing our lives with others.

How far would you go to improve you? Taking vitamins? Healthy diet and exercise? Medical procedures or surgeries? What about technology that would keep you alive indefinitely? Or a hard drive that could contain your consciousness, even if your body gave out?
Today, the idea of moving past our human limitations, in one way or another, is thought by many to be within our reach. Transhumanism, for example, seeks to transcending our humanity through technological advancements that would enhance our bodily functions and abilities, perhaps even give us near-immortality. Mind uploading or cyber-consciousness is the idea that we could upload our minds to a digital medium so that our consciousness would live forever.
This week, we want to consider what transhumanism assumes about being human in light of God’s design for humanity. Because how we understand our humanity will determine how we think about our bodies, our minds, our souls, and our future.

Once upon a time, if you wanted to be famous, you had to be on T.V. (And there were only a handful of channels, which meant very few people ever made it big.) But today, everyone has a social media platform at their disposal, which has generated seemingly countless online celebrities who gain hundreds of thousands, even millions, of followers through clever pranks, crazy antics, song and dance routines (literally), product endorsements, and more.
Most people who use social media are not trying to become “social media influencers.” But how we use social media can easily turn into never-ending quests for personal significance, often leading to increased anxiety and depression as we subtly plead for other’s attention and affirmation. In Jesus, however, we can find a significance that cannot be lost or diminished.

Living in our technological ecosystem, our lives are shaped by a thousand mostly unconscious tech-driven urges every day, to check our email, post a selfie, or watch another YouTube video.
As has been well documented, many technologies like social media, gaming apps, shopping apps, and streaming services are designed to feed addictive urges and appetites that keep us coming back for more.
In his letter to the Corinthian church, the Apostle Paul writes, “’Everything is permissible for me’—but not everything is beneficial. ‘Everything is permissible for me’—but I will not be mastered by anything” (1 Cor. 6:12).
Using technology isn’t a sin. (Though how you use can certainly be!) But it can still exert a powerful control over us that we often ignore. As a result, we’re often unconscious of the ways in which our use of technology consumes our attention and prevents us from experiencing the life we were created for.

Work. It’s not always our favorite thing in the world. In fact, it’s probably tempting to think of work as something to be avoided, even despised.
After all, who would work if they didn’t have to? Who wouldn’t rather enjoy a life of ease instead of working for a living?
One of the promises of technology is that it will make work easier—maybe even eliminate it altogether—so that we can enjoy not working. This, we’re told, is how life should be: effortless, easy, and comfortable. A life of leisure.
This week we’re looking again a Genesis 1 to consider what it is to be human, made in the image of God. And, while God does rest, the creation account offers an entirely different perspective on work. That work has value because God worked. And as imagers of God, we were created to do work that gives purpose to our lives and creates good in the world.

Never in the history of the world has humankind had more control over life. Technological advances have given us the ability to cure disease, grow crops, produce wealth, build cities, and ease suffering unlike anything the world has ever known. (For which we should be grateful!)
But, buried underneath our use of technology is the myth that technology can give us ultimate control over reality itself. That with technology, we have the power, not only to make the world better or improve people’s lives, but to become god-like.
This week, as we start this new series on faith and technology, we want to look at how technology has become what we hope in for the control and power we crave. It’s our new religion.

Do you think God has expectations for you? For your life?
In this week's parable, Jesus describes two ways of living:
leveraging everything to achieve greater possibilities for the sake of Jesus' kingdom versus playing it safe.
Only one will yield the kind of return-the kind of life-that you were created to live.

Forgiving someone who's hurt you may be the hardest thing you will ever do in your life.
Which is why it's much easier to theorize about forgiveness than to do it. But without forgiveness, we'll never be free to pursue a future that is unhindered by the past.
The destructive power of unforgiveness is that it convinces us we're somehow punishing our offender by building up walls of resentment and bitterness around our hearts. Only forgiveness has the power to set us free.
In this week's passage, we're looking at one of the most hard hitting of Jesus' parables.
Forgiveness is easy in theory, but incredibly difficult in real life. But the mercy God shows us should soften our hearts to forgive others just as we've been forgiven.

Do you ever feel like God is distant rather than up close and personal?
In this week's passage, Jesus' disciples ask him to teach them how to pray.
But rather than offering them a treatise or a lecture on the mechanics of prayer or the theological underpinnings of communication with an omniscient and all-powerful God, Jesus paints for them a picture of a caring Father who listens to us and provides what we need.
A personal God who loves us more than we can fathom.

When you think of God, what comes to your mind?
When you imagine God's view of you, how do you think he sees you?
With love? Judgment? Grace? Anger? Disappointment? Compassion?
A.W. Tozer wrote that the most important thing about anyone is what comes into their mind when they think about God.
Sadly, many people run from God because their understanding of God is wrongly shaped by people who've done a poor job of reflecting who God truly is.
In Luke 15, Jesus tells three parables that reveal the true heart of God, a heart full of compassion and love for his children. Jesus' message is for anyone who's ever felt alienated from God. But it's also a challenge for those who claim to know God but have failed to share his love with a lost and hurting world.

Have you ever wondered if God was really there? Or maybe you've felt discouraged or afraid because you couldn't see God at work in the world.
In this week's parables from the Gospel of Mark, Jesus explains that the kingdom of God is present, but it doesn't look like what we often expect.
To our eyes, it may seem unimpressive, unspectacular, even mundane. And yet, Jesus says, it has a hidden power that cannot be stopped, unchecked by our failures or by evil in the world, finally culminating one day in the full realization of God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

What is it about the Christmas season that inspires you? Does anything about it bring you down?
In the first message of our 2022 Advent series our Pastor of Family Ministries, Luke McAlack, encourages us to see the hope that the coming of Christmas represents.
That is, that something great is about to happen. It is the anticipation of Jesus coming into our lives that provides a hope for today and forever.
Have you received the gift of eternal life and hope provided when Jesus enters your life? Do you need to find out what that means or how that happens?
We encourage you to ask us. Or, if you have already been blessed by the hope Jesus provides, can you share your hope and be a blessing to others this Christmas season? Please contact us. Something great is about to happen!

Are you a thankful person? Are you not particularly thankful? Somewhere in the middle? How does each scenario affect your life?
Thanksgiving is one of our country's most
celebrated holidays. Every year people gather with friends and families to celebrate and enjoy good food and time together.
There is something within us that recognizes the need for gratitude, even when we don't know why or to whom we should be grateful.
But God has created us in such a way that being thankful unlocks within us new reservoirs of untapped joy and peace.
More specifically, in difficult seasons of life, gratitude can increase our confidence in the future God has planned for us.
We invite you to help us grow in confidence for the future, and we ask if we can partner with you in doing the same. Contact us.

Do you feel that life is often harried, even panicky? That everything needs to be fixed right now?
When we do, we tend to look for solutions that are quick and easy because, frankly, we need them to be quick and easy or we'll fall behind. But the deepest things that God wants to do in and through us often don't come quickly or easily. They happen over often long periods of time.
So, rather than being in a hurry or looking for the quick fix, the reality is that better spiritual and emotional health, stronger relationships, and joy in the blessings God gives all come when we invest in the long game.
Can we encourage you to move step by step into the blessings God has created you for? Can you help us? Please contact us.

Are you part of a group, job, family, political party, church, fanbase, etc. that seems unified? What makes them unified...or not unified?
We live in an increasingly fractured and divided society. Rather than seeking to understand and find common ground through shared values and with an attitude of humility, many people have succumbed to fear, anger, and even hatred towards anyone who doesn't agree with them.
And, sadly, that fracturing is taking place within the church as well. But for the church to be who God has called us to be- a light in the world pointing to Jesus- unity is not only possible, but essential. Blessings.
Please contact us if you would like to be encouraged to be more of a light to the world around you. Or, perhaps you can help us become more like the light of the world we have been created to be.

When you think of suffering, what comes to mind? Are there particular kinds of suffering that you fear more than others? Can you ever see hope in the midst of suffering?
There is an inescapable fragility to our society today. Many of us take easy offense to others' words or ideas, are quick to judge, and actively avoid anything we find unpleasant or disagreeable, insulating ourselves from anything that might hurt or harm us, not only physically but emotionally as well.
We don't like hard things, and life is hard. There is a brokenness to our world, a futility born out of sin, that means difficulty and suffering are literally impossible to avoid. But running from anything that's hard is not the answer. Nor is some sort of pollyannish hope.
Instead, as Paul describes in Romans 5, there is another kind of hope, a resilient hope, that can give us the strength we need to endure and overcome.
Our message today exports us all to find and live that special resilient hope. Blessings
Can you encourage us to live in hope despite the struggles all around us? Can we encourage you?
Please contact us. We would love to share the struggles and spread the hope with you.

Do you ever wonder if your life matters? And what is it that would make your life matter? Is it the idea of "making a difference?
The idea of making a difference in the world or in someone else's life might seem like an idealistic notion, but there is something within us that needs to know our life counts for something.
Without that, we can quickly fall into apathy and indifference, languishing through life instead of living with the purpose that we have been created for.
The reality is that your life does matter. It matters immensely. God is calling you to create a better future for yourself and then for others.
That life begins with a heart that knows that you matter to God, and creates a life in you that makes a difference in the lives of others by helping people experience the life-changing relationship with Jesus that you have discovered.
Would you like to know that you matter to God...and to people? Perhaps you would like to partner with us in making a difference in the world? Either way, we encourage you to contact us.

Life often feels like a battle, and there are many people today who act (and talk) like we're in a battle. But are we aware of the kind of battle we're truly in?
According to the Apostle Paul, the true battle isn't the one we see on the news or find on social media; it's the battle behind the battles we can see, a spiritual battle for the hearts of people.
Whether you realize it or not, there are spiritual forces at work to prevent you from living the life God wants for you. And while the battle might seem daunting, the reality is that we can resist. Blessings.

Have you ever felt lonely? Worse yet, do you ever feel all alone, as if no one cares about you and you have no one to care about?
In today’s Spiritual Reality Check entitled “God Is In You,” Pastor Lucas Rogers encourages us to realize that God is always with us. That when we have turned our lives over to the love of Jesus, we are promised that we are granted the Holy Spirit of God to live inside us.
We become living breathing agents of God’s peace, first invading our lives, and then giving us the chance to be agents of that peace to the world around us.
What an amazing reality to have God caring for us wherever we are, and to be able to share His peace wherever we go! Blessings.
Are you living this life with God for which he has created you? Are you ready to step into that life?
Contact us so we can encourage each other to live our lives together, with Jesus and each other, and show the world the presence of real peace.

How would you define or describe freedom? Are you free? Why or why not? We’d love to know what you think. This is what our Spiritual Reality Check entitled “Set Free” examines today.
Because, for most people in Western society, freedom is understood as autonomy, the freedom to make our own choices for the sake of our desires without fear of penalty or restriction, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else or infringe upon their freedom.
Jesus, however, describes freedom first as an inward reality that is experienced only when one lives the truth in relationship with God. This sort of freedom is a spiritual freedom from sin which would otherwise enslave us and prevent us from experiencing the life that God intends us to have.
Are you living the life God has created you for? Contact us so we can encourage each other to truly live the lives of freedom for which we have been created. Blessings.

To whom do you need to show grace? Do you feel they are unworthy to receive grace? Do you think others may think we are unworthy of grace? This week, we're focusing on the reality that God's grace is impossible to overstate. It is, perhaps, scandalous. But it is the greatest news... ever. That through Jesus' death and resurrection, we're accepted not because we're great, but because God so loved us that Jesus gave his life for us. We're not accepted because we have our lives together; we're accepted because of Jesus, despite our sin and failures. Let us know how we can encourage each other to live lives of Grace. Blessings.

Have you ever thought that the world is just not the way it's supposed to be? Why or why not? And, what exactly do you think is the way the world is supposed to be? We'd love to know your thoughts. Today's message, the second in our Spiritual Reality Check series is entitled "Not How it's Supposed to Be." We will attempt to provide ourselves with a Spiritual Reality Check to see that we can be who God says we are supposed to be. Blessings.

In the premiere week of our "Spiritual Reality Check" series, Pastor Lucas Rogers focuses on the reality that God exists. For many people, it's not easy to believe in God in today's world. A personal God who knows you and loves you can sound trite and, in some ways, more like a child's nursery story than anything real. But rather than deconstructing or abandoning our faith, it's worthwhile to wrestle with why faith is hard and why belief in God still makes sense.
What are your thoughts? We'd love to hear from you. Blessings. More info at https://www.ebc.org Thank you for subscribing and sharing. #eastonbiblechurch #hainesportnj #spiritualrealitycheck #godexists #acts17 #unknowngod #lovegodservepeople
Are you aware of the big moments that have affected your life? How about the seemingly insignificant times that wound up playing a part in your life? In the final message of our "just breathe." summer series on the Psalms, Pastor Lucas examines those question from Psalm 121. And the answer is, that God watches over you every minute and is with you through every moment, joyful or sorrowful, to help you become the person he has created you to be. Have you yet seen, that it is God who has bestowed value, and continues to build value, in who you are? And that value is for today and forever. Please share with us how we can live our lives of value together. We’d love to hear from you so, together, we can grow in the value for which God has created us.

Does anyone really know you? Does anyone even care? Is that something you've ever asked? In the 5th message of our "just breathe." summer series on the Psalms, Pastor Lucas Rogers examines that question from Psalm 139. And the answer is yes, God has made you to become everything He has planned for you from the beginning. If you can just reach out to Him for the healing of your past, the story of your future will begin.And then, you too, when someone asks the question, does anyone really know me?" can answer ,"YES, let me tell you about the one who has healed my past and is molding my future." Have you yet seen, that it is God who has bestowed value, permanent value, upon you? Please share with us how we can help you reach out to begin life anew every morning. We’d love to hear from you so, together, we can discover and grow in the care for which God has created us.

What's in it for me? Ever heard that question? Have you ever asked it? I would imagine so. In the 4th message of our "just breathe." summer series on the Psalms, Pastor Lucas Rogers examines that question from Psalm 73. But the bottom line of it all may be that everything that is of real value to you emanates from God. And so, the love, truth, and beauty for which you have been created are found in the person and work of God Himself. Have you yet seen, that it is God who has bestowed value, permanent value, upon you? Please share with us where you are succeeding or where you feel you may be falling short.

I am all alone. The weight of my world is overpowering me. My fears are crushing my hopes. Do you ever feel like that? In the third message of our “just breathe” series entitled “Help is Here” Pastor Lucas Rogers shares that presenting your life and your fears to Jesus allows the power of God to enter your very soul. It is then that the Hope of God will work through you from the inside out. It is then that your hopes can crush your fears. It is then that the world's weight no longer has power over you. That’s the life of hope and strength you have been created for. And that’s the life worth sharing with the world. Questions, comments? We’d love to hear from you so, together, we can discover and grow in the strength and hope of God… encouraging each other to “just breathe” and remember that “Help is Here.” Reach out to us anytime by phone (609.267.4755), email (office@ebc.org), PM via Instagram or Facebook, or come see us in person.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Often this is asked as a threatening question. Today, Pastor Lucas Rogers, in the second message of our “just breathe” series on the Psalms encourages you to not just think who you are, but to know who you are. That you are a person made in the image of God with intrinsic value bestowed upon you by God Himself. So much value that Jesus was willing to sacrifice everything for you. Do you know that? Do you underestimate your value? We’d love to hear from you so that we can share our lives, exhorting one another to live the lives of value for which God has created us. Reach out to us anytime by phone (609.267.4755), email (office@ebc.org), PM via Instagram or Facebook, or come see us in person. There is nothing more we would like than to encourage each other to love the God who values us and serve other people who He values just as much. More info ebc.org Blessings.

Whose voices have you listened to in your life? Or is there a little voice in your head that guides you? Have the voices you listened provided peace or sometimes, perhaps, led you down a path where your peace was shattered? In the first message of our “just breathe” series, Pastor Lucas reminds us that it is God’s voice, found in His Word, that leads us down a path that provides peace in our lives beginning today, but more amazingly has the power to give us peace that lasts forever.

Our 2022 Summer Guest Speaker Series continues with EBC Elder Woody Lewis. Woody, in a message entitled "A Bad & Good Relationship with God," challenges us from John's first epistle that God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins. But that forgiveness can only come when we are able to admit our mistakes and know the forgiveness offered through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. That forgiveness is available to everyone, and when we receive it, it will turn a bad relationship into an eternal good relationship with God. Have you admitted your sin to God, accepted His forgiveness, and changed your life? Contact us, we would love to hear your story. Do you need to know more about this? Contact us as well. Private message us on Insta or Facebook, email (office@ebc.org), or call (609.267.4755). We challenge you also to be a relationship healer, through the example of God as well. Be bold enoughto admit your mistakes and seek forgiveness, and be bold to forgive others who may have wronged you. Let us know as well, how that is going and if we can help. Blessings. More info at https://www.ebc.org Let us leave you with a Scripture verse from 1John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He (God) is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." #eastonbiblechurch #hainesportnj #relationships #forgiveness #confess #honesty #liar #summersermon #lovegodlovepeople
