Eastside Church: Recent Episodes
Eastside Church
At Eastside, we exist to connect people to the life changing message of Jesus. Here you will find the latest messages from Eastside Church in Marietta Georgia.
In Part 2 of our Whole Heart / Broken Heart series, Losing Heart, we explore the epic struggle for our hearts and the ways we can become disconnected from the God who created us for love, relationship, and purpose. Though we were created in the image of God and designed to live from the heart, sin has separated us from God and turned our focus inward toward ourselves.
Join us for Whole Heart / Broken Heart, a new series exploring what Scripture teaches about emotional and spiritual health. Together, we'll discover how our hearts influence our thoughts, choices, relationships, and walk with Christ. Through God's Word, we'll learn to recognize the warning signs of an unhealthy heart, guard it with wisdom, and allow Him to restore and strengthen us from the inside out.
This message reminds us that overcoming the "blues" doesn't begin by ignoring our pain but by bringing it honestly before God. Through Psalm 42, we'll learn to look inward and examine our hearts, look upward and find God's help, and look onward with renewed hope. When life feels overwhelming, we are invited to stop rehearsing our fears and start remembering God's promises.
In this message, Pastor Scott explores God's eternal sovereignty, the fragile nature of our lives, and the reality of sin that keeps us from living as God intended. More importantly, we'll discover why God alone is our unshakable refuge and how living with an eternal perspective helps us invest in what matters most. Join us as we learn how to make every day count for the glory of God.
n Week 5 of our Honest to God series, Pastor Ryan walks through Psalm 139, showing how God fully knows us, is always with us, and loves us completely. Rather than hiding our fears, failures, shame, or questions, we're invited to come before Him with vulnerability and trust.
In a chaotic world, Psalm 46 reminds us that God is our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help. Join us as Pastor John explores how trusting God brings unshakable peace and hope in the midst of life's toughest seasons.
This week in our Honest to God series, Pastor John explores Psalm 103:13-14 and the heart of our Heavenly Father. Discover how God compassionately cares for His children, understands our weaknesses, and graciously provides for our every need.
In this message, we explore the powerful truth that God's mercy never fails. Through Psalm 118, we discover that we can rest in God's enduring mercy and find shelter in His unwavering presence, even when life feels overwhelming. The psalmist reminds us that God's steadfast love is not based on our circumstances or emotions but on His unchanging character.
Trouble has a way of squeezing us, leaving us feeling trapped, overwhelmed, and uncertain about what comes next. In Psalm 3, David faced one of the most painful seasons of his life as his own son, Absalom, led a rebellion against him. Surrounded by adversity and forced to flee, David found himself in a situation filled with fear and distress. Yet, instead of being consumed by his troubles, he placed his trust in God.
In this Family Worship Sunday message, Pastor Ryan reminds us that following Jesus is more than believing the right things; it is learning to walk in the light every day. Through a simple but powerful illustration, we'll discover that just as a lamp cannot shine unless it is connected to its source of power, believers cannot live the Christian life apart from a daily relationship with Christ.
In Part 2 of Unlocking Romans 8, Pastor Scott Kelly explores one of the most encouraging chapters in all of Scripture. While the first half of Romans 8 declares that there is “no condemnation” for those who are in Christ, the second half assures believers that there is “no separation” from God's love.
Pastor John Hull begins a short new series, Unlocking Romans 8, by exploring one of the richest and most hope-filled chapters in all of Scripture. Like a master safecracker searching for the right combination, believers must learn how to unlock the spiritual treasures found within Romans 8.
Pastor Scott Kelly shares a special Mother’s Day message from Proverbs 31:25-26 titled “(Not) Another Mother’s Day Message.” This encouraging message highlights the strength, dignity, wisdom, and kindness Scripture celebrates in women while reminding us of the value and worth God gives to every person created in His image.
In Week 3 of The Christian’s Finances, Pastor Trey explores a topic that challenges both our logic and our hearts, how to give money. While giving may not come naturally, it reflects a deeper spiritual truth: everything we have belongs to God, and we are simply stewards of His resources.
Pastor Scott challenges us to rethink how we view financial resources, not as a measure of success, but as a responsibility entrusted to us by God. With biblical clarity, he reminds us that money doesn’t just reflect our hearts, it directs them.
In this powerful new series, The Christian’s Finances, we’ll explore the biblical truth that God owns everything and has entrusted us as stewards. The Bible does not condemn money, but it does provide clear principles for how to earn, save, invest, and give in ways that honor Him.
In this message, we explore the often overlooked present day ministry of the risen Christ. After appearing to many eyewitnesses and ascending to heaven, Jesus did not step away. He stepped into an active and ongoing work that continues even now.
As we conclude the Jesus Shaped Life series, Pastor John brings a powerful and practical message from Gospel of Matthew 23 and First Epistle of John 4, reminding us that following Jesus is more than belief—it’s alignment.
What does it really mean to live a Jesus-shaped life? In this message, Pastor Trey helps us get to know the often misunderstood yet deeply personal presence of the Holy Spirit, the third member of the Trinity.
In this message, Pastor Scott challenges us to move beyond a comfortable, “domesticated” view of Jesus and see Him for who He truly is. Focusing on His identity, we’re reminded that before we can fully appreciate the cross, we must first understand the Incarnation—Jesus as fully God and fully man.
In this message from the series A Jesus Shaped Life, Pastor John explores the beauty and importance of the Trinity. Rather than being merely a complex theological idea, the Trinity shapes the very foundation of our faith—our salvation, how God reveals Himself, our fellowship with Him, and even the way we pray.
Pastor John Hull begins our new series, “A Jesus Shaped Life,” with a powerful reminder that theology is a good word.Too often theology feels technical, distant, or disconnected from everyday life—but in reality, theology is simply thinking about God and expressing those thoughts in the way we live.
Paul reveals the ongoing conflict between the old nature (the flesh) and the new nature in Christ. Even as a believer, the struggle remains. As J. I. Packer said, “Paul wasn’t struggling because he was such a sinner. Paul was struggling because he was a saint.”
In this message, Pastor explains that before Christ we were enslaved to sin, but through Christ we have been set free. Using Paul’s illustration of marriage, we see that we are no longer bound to the Law—we now belong to Jesus. The Law reveals sin, but it cannot rescue us. Only Christ can.
In this final movement of The Red Letter Challenge, we turn to one powerful word: GOING.
While many believers are familiar with the phrase “The Great Commission,” research shows that most cannot clearly explain what it means. Yet Jesus’ final command was unmistakable: “Go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:18–20). The mission wasn’t an afterthought—it was born before the Church was born.
Pastor Scott Kelly focuses on giving and the heart behind it. Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, this message challenges the fear that often shapes our finances and invites us to trust God with a give-first, kingdom-centered approach. Discover how generosity grows our faith and why following Jesus means surrendering every part of our lives—including our resources.
In week three of the Red Letter Challenge, we turn our focus to the call of Serving. Jesus makes it clear that love for Him is demonstrated through obedience (John 14:15), and that true discipleship often means stepping out in faith with a simple response: “Because You Say So, I Will” (Luke 5:4–5).
This week in the Red Letter Challenge, we focus on one of Jesus’ hardest commands: forgiveness. Through the words of Christ in Matthew 5, 6, and 18, we’re reminded that forgiveness isn’t optional—it’s essential to following Him. Though letting go can be difficult, Jesus calls us to pray for others, release the hurt, and walk in freedom.
The Red Letter Challenge invites us to take a fresh look at the words of Jesus recorded in red and examine how they shape our daily lives. This series is not about information alone, but transformation—moving from simply hearing Christ’s words to building our lives upon them.
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 through the incarnation, and invites us into His family through adoption.
Christmas isn’t just a season we celebrate — it’s the moment hope stepped into history. Join us as we rediscover the joy, the promise, and the thrill of the hope we have in Jesus.
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 how it exposes the heart of every person.
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 hope that can only be found in Christ.
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 stand firm in our faith, cultivate courage in the face of pressure, and inspire those around us to live boldly for Christ.
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 our God-given identity, step into risk with courage, exercise patience in uncertainty, and trust God even when He seems silent. Ultimately, this message calls believers to be courageous agents of God’s providence, standing firm “for such a time as this,” knowing that the God who works in the light also works in the shadows.
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, and even isolation. And through it all, He overcame.
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.
In this powerful message, Pastor Trey Sapp unpacks the unmatched authority and saving power found in the name of Jesus. Drawing from Acts, Romans, and Philippians, he highlights how Jesus' name is not just a title—it is the key to salvation, the banner of our identity, and the source of our mission.
In this special Father’s Day sermon, Pastor John Hull shines a spotlight on an often-overlooked figure in the Bible—Zebedee, the father of James and John. Though mentioned only briefly in Scripture, Zebedee leaves behind a powerful legacy for dads today.
Pastor Kevin challenges us to consider the danger of being “almost” Christian—those who, like Pilate and the crowd, choose the world over the Way, self-justification over Christ’s justification, and tradition over truth. With insight and urgency, this message calls us to move beyond being close to Christ and instead surrender fully to Him.
Don’t settle for almost. Choose Jesus.
In this special message kicking off VBS week, Pastor Scott Kelly unpacks the meaning behind Jesus’s “new commandment” in John 13:34–35—to love one another as He has loved us. While love was always central to God’s covenant with His people, Jesus redefines love not as a feeling or emotion, but as a reflection of God’s own character—marked by mercy, grace, truth, and sacrifice.
In the final message of our WISE UP series, Pastor Trey Sapp turns our attention to one of the Bible’s most surprising and poetic books—Song of Songs. Often misunderstood or overlooked, this “greatest song” reveals God’s wisdom for love, romance, singleness, sex, and marriage.
What do you do when life feels uncertain, outcomes seem unpredictable, and the future is unclear? In Ecclesiastes 11:1–4, Solomon offers surprising wisdom for navigating life “under the sun.” In this installment of the Wise Up series, Pastor Scott Kelly explores how we can live with courage, patience, generosity, and trust—even when we don’t have all the answers.
As we continue our journey through the wisdom literature, Pastor John Hull turns our attention to Proverbs—a book centered on skillful living. On this Mother’s Day, Proverbs 9 introduces us to two symbolic women: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. Both offer invitations. Both set their tables high on the city’s hill. But only one leads to life.
In week two of our Wise Up series, Pastor Scott Kelly takes us deeper into the Book of Psalms—a collection of songs and prayers that guide us toward God’s wisdom. Focusing on Psalms 1 and 2, we see how these opening chapters serve as the gateway into a sacred space where God meets with us. This message invites us to reflect on what shapes our thinking, behavior, and sense of belonging—and challenges us to find lasting blessing by rooting our lives in God's Word.
We start a new sermon series called WISE UP—a journey into biblical wisdom for life’s hardest moments. In this opening message, Pastor John Hull looks at the life of Job, the man who lost everything yet never lost his faith. His story raises tough but honest questions: Why do righteous people suffer? Why would a loving God allow pain? And how do we hold on when life doesn’t make sense?
Most people say they believe Jesus rose from the dead—but many aren’t sure it actually matters. This Easter, Pastor John Hull confronts that disconnect in a message that explores the real and life-altering impact of the resurrection. Drawing from Ephesians 1 and Romans 8, The Riches of the Resurrection reveals how the resurrection is far more than a historical event—it’s a source of power that shapes our thinking, transforms our living, and secures our eternity.
Every serious leader prioritizes defense—how much more should God’s people when it comes to spiritual battles? In this powerful message, Pastor John Hull walks us through Ephesians 6 and reminds us that while the devil is a cunning adversary—trickster, tempter, liar, and more—God has not left us unprotected.
In a world where relationships often feel fractured and fragile, Pastor Scott Kelly delivered a powerful and practical message from Ephesians 5 on what it means to be truly rich in relationships. Rooted deeply in Scripture, the message reminded us that life is not about possessions or status—it’s about relationships: with God, with others, and with ourselves.
One of the most powerful themes we emphasize every Sunday is forgiveness. Through worship, prayer, preaching, the Lord’s Table, and sharing the Gospel, we celebrate the incredible truth that we are Richer than Rich in God’s forgiveness.
What does it mean to be truly rich? In his sermon Richer than Rich: Richly Gifted, Pastor Scott Kelly unpacks Ephesians 4:7-14, revealing that the wealth of the church is not measured in material possessions but in the spiritual gifts given by Christ. A healthy church is marked by gospel unity, ministry diversity, and spiritual maturity—all empowered by Christ’s grace.
What makes a church truly rich? It’s not its buildings, programs, or even its size—it’s its unity and peace. In Ephesians 4:1-6, Paul calls the church to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit,” reminding us that the Holy Spirit creates unity, and it’s our responsibility to maintain it.
The world is fascinated by wealth, but Scripture reveals a deeper, eternal richness. In this new series, Richer Than Rich, we uncover the MYSTERY of true spiritual wealth—hidden for ages but now revealed in Christ.
In our final message on identity, we examine what it means to be "In Christ" through the lens of Romans. Pastor John Hull walks us through three essential truths: who we were, who we are, and who we will be. We were once dead in sin, but now, through Christ, we are justified, redeemed, and free.
Life is full of challenges, uncertainties, and struggles. But no matter what we face, in Christ, we have everything we need. Paul, writing from a Roman prison, knew this truth firsthand. Facing hardship, he remained steadfast in faith, encouraging Timothy—and us—to hold onto the hope, purpose, and strength found in Jesus alone.
Life is full of displays—whether in sports, art, or culture—but the greatest display is yet to come. The apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2:7 that those "in Christ" will one day be put on display as trophies of God’s grace.
Pastor John Hull continues the journey through Ephesians, asking the foundational question: "Who am I in Jesus Christ?" Building on the previous weeks, where we explored being chosen and redeemed (Ephesians 1) and reflected on our spiritual journey through the "three houses" of who we were, who we are, and who we will become, this sermon focuses on our transformation in Christ.
This message challenges us to confront our past identity honestly while marveling at the transformative power of being made alive "in Christ." It reminds us that apart from Christ, we are spiritually dead, but through His mercy, our story is rewritten.
In a world where identity is often shaped by accomplishments, appearances, or societal approval, the Bible offers a greater and unchanging truth: our identity is “in Christ.” Through Paul’s writings—where this phrase is used 169 times, including 15 times in Ephesians 1—we’re invited to ask the central question: “Who am I, in Christ?”
Pastor Trey highlights the extraordinary growth and transformation of Christianity, from a small movement in Judea to a global mission spreading across continents and cultures. He explores the shifting center of Christianity to the Global South, the transition of missions from "the West to the rest" to a global effort, and the challenges and opportunities presented in our digital age.
In a world where love is often reduced to fleeting emotions, Christ offers a countercultural truth: love is not merely a feeling; it is a deliberate decision. This profound message, drawn from John 15:12-17, invites us to reflect on the transformative power of agape love—the selfless, sacrificial love that mirrors Christ’s love for us.
In Part 2 of "Jesus: The Way in a Manger", Pastor Scott invites us to reflect on the profound difference between worldly hope and the eternal hope found in Christ. Drawing from Scripture and the Christmas story, he explains that while everyday hope is often mere wishful thinking, true hope is a confident assurance rooted in the promises of God.
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.
Pastor Ed Stewart invites us on a profound journey through 2 Chronicles 34 with his sermon titled "A Heart for God: Lost and Found." This message explores how we can realign our hearts with God’s will and rediscover a blessed life by learning from the history of Israel and its kings.

“Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had
been said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his
body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was
also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was
strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God…” Romans 4:18-20, NIV
In this study, Pastor Trey Sapp explores into the story of Samson from Judges 16:23-31, illustrating how Samson’s life serves as a powerful lesson on the consequences of unchecked desires and the true nature of freedom. Using Samson's tragic end, we reflect on the importance of strength, faith, and victory in a life aligned with God’s will, contrasting these qualities with the life and ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Samson's story in these chapters reveals a man of extraordinary physical power but significant moral and spiritual weaknesses. His reliance on his own strength and his impulsive, vengeful actions contrast sharply with the humility and obedience that God desires from His people.

In today's message, Pastor John explores the concept of Jesus's Perfect Peace. He contrasts it with the world's fleeting versions of peace, emphasizing that true peace comes from a restored relationship with God. This peace transcends earthly limitations and is guarded by the Holy Spirit, removing fear and anxiety from our lives.

One day Jesus of Nazareth hung on a cross, He was crucified. It was a death reserved for rebels, dissidents, and criminals. But three days later, he was worshiped as the living God. Something happened in between and it did. Jesus rose from the dead!
The sacred life of Jesus is marked by surrender—a complete dedication to divine will and service to others. As Pastor Scott Kelly emphasizes, Jesus cultivated wonder, finding awe in all aspects of life. He nourished hope, offering comfort and assurance even in difficult times. Jesus also exemplified trust, surrendering to God's plan without reservation. By following his example, we can embrace surrender, foster wonder, nourish hope, and develop a deep trust in the divine.
