Eastmont Church Weekly Sermons

In Romans 1:7–15, Paul shares his deep love for the church in Rome, reminding them they are loved by God and called to be saints. Though he hasn't met them, he prays for them constantly and longs to encourage and be encouraged by their faith. This message explores the power of prayer, the need for mutual discipleship, and the call to preach the gospel to all people—no matter their background. Healthy churches, Paul shows us, are marked by prayer, growth, and evangelism.

In this powerful message from Romans 1:2–6, Pastor Blaine walks us through the deep theological roots of Paul's introduction to the book of Romans. He unpacks what it means to receive grace as unmerited favor, explores the shift from individual salvation to the collective calling of the Church, and clarifies how every believer is both saved and sent. Drawing from both Scripture and personal stories, the message challenges us to live with obedience not out of guilt, but from a transformed heart. With bold clarity, Blaine calls us to recognize Jesus as Lord over every part of our lives and to see our salvation not as the final destination, but the beginning of a mission to proclaim the gospel to all nations—for the sake of His name.

In this deep dive into Romans 1:2–6 (Part One), we explore Paul's theological introduction to the book of Romans—unpacking the promise of the gospel, the identity of Jesus, and the results of the gospel in our lives. From exegesis to typology, we examine why Scripture—not tradition or personality—must be our foundation for truth. This message challenges us to be students of the Word, discerning truth with clarity, humility, and conviction.

In this powerful message on Nahum 2, we explore God's justice and mercy in the prophecy against Nineveh. Nahum's vision reveals the downfall of a mighty empire that trusted in its own strength, reminding us that no earthly power can stand against God's will. While the chapter vividly describes the destruction of Nineveh, it also brings hope to God's people—assuring them that He remains faithful to His promises. Through historical context, vivid imagery, and theological insights, we examine how God's patience should not be mistaken for inaction and how His justice is ultimately righteous. This sermon challenges us to reflect on our own reliance—do we trust in God or in our own power? It also calls us to gratitude, as believers in Christ, knowing that God's wrath has been fully satisfied in Jesus. Join us as we delve into the weighty themes of justice, judgment, and redemption, learning how to live with a proper fear of the Lord while resting in His grace.

This sermon highlights God's righteous judgment and His patient mercy, urging trust in His timing and a call to repentance through Christ.

Join us as we begin the book of Nahum, exploring God's justice, holiness, and power through His message to Nineveh and the Assyrian Empire. This sermon sets the stage with historical context, Nahum's role as a prophet, and how God's wrath and mercy ultimately point us to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In a world full of confusion, competing ideologies, and cultural noise, believers are called to see clearly through a biblical lens. This sermon, based on 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, challenges us to take action by: Evaluating our worldview—aligning our thoughts with Scripture, not society. Challenging falsehood—discerning and confronting ideas that contradict God's truth. Taking every thought captive—intentionally filtering everything through God's Word. Engaging culture with boldness and wisdom—not retreating in fear, but speaking truth with love. Rather than passively absorbing what the world throws at us, we are called to actively shape our minds, conversations, and actions through a biblical perspective. Walk away with practical steps to think, live, and respond as a follower of Christ in today's world.

As we enter into another contentious election season, there can be a lot of confusion for Christians. There are no shortage of articles about evangelicals and voting. This Equip Night will be focused on how to think Biblically about voting. My hope is to get beyond talking points and platitudes so we can be faithful followers of Jesus in our cultural moment. I want to talk about Christian engagement in politics, the standard we hold politicians to, some of the major issues being debated, and how we should respond. While there is no shortage of commentary on politics today, my prayer is that we will allow the Bible to inform both our worldview and conscience this election season.
