Pastor Josh explores the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 and what faith looks like when we don't know what to do. Faced with overwhelming opposition, the king turns first to honest prayer: "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You." This message invites us to admit what we cannot control, fix our eyes on God, and let praise declare where our trust truly rests. When we place the full weight of our lives on Him, we discover the battle was never ours to fight alone.|
In the story of the Bible, the book of Proverbs can feel a bit out of place. And yet, it actually fits beautifully and provides sorely needed instruction for those attempting to follow Jesus.

"We as humans grossly overestimate what we can get done in a year, and we grossly underestimate what we can get done in a decade." What have you established as the foundation of your soul? God's promises are yes and amen -- but life still happens... Our foundation determines whether or not we will hold fast to the promises of God or whether we will crumble in the face of troubles. Pastor Josh brings an encouraging word on our first Kingdom Builder's Sunday of 2026!
The Fundamentals – Week 1: The Word of God We're kicking off our brand-new series, The Fundamentals, by laying the foundation for everything we believe: the Bible is inspired by God, fully trustworthy, and the basis for our lives. In this message, we explore what it truly means for Scripture to be “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16), how the Holy Spirit inspired its authors, and why the Word of God is not just informative—but transformative. Just like athletes never outgrow the fundamentals, we never outgrow the necessity of God's Word. It anchors us in a shifting culture, corrects us in love, trains us in righteousness, and shapes us into mature followers of Jesus. This teaching challenges us to move beyond simply agreeing with the Bible to actually applying it. We are called to hear it, read it, believe it, and obey it. Because a Word-shaped church becomes a world-shaking church. Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with Jesus for decades, this message will strengthen your foundation and renew your hunger for Scripture.
Pastor Josh continues our sermon series, Refomatio. With this Sunday's theme, rooted and grounded.

After seven weeks on sabbatical, Pastor Josh returns to share lessons from the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. Following the dramatic victory on Mount Carmel, Elijah flees in fear, collapses under a broom tree, and encounters God—not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper. This message explores how God meets us in exhaustion, ministers with compassion, and reminds us that the journey is too great for us alone. If you're weary or longing to hear God's voice, this sermon is an invitation to be still and listen for His whisper.

A church that Crushes Average-Pastor Josh Pate by Eastgate Church
When we call ourselves “Christians,” what do we mean? We mean that every day we accept Jesus' invitation to deny ourselves and follow him, even unto death. The purpose of a spiritual discipline is not to “get it right,” but to make you more like Christ. “Christian” = “one who follows Christ” Your purpose is to follow Christ and lead others to him. “But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate His extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life. 1 Tim. 1:16

If you've ever felt the tension of following Jesus in a world that keeps pulling you to conform, this message is for you. In Week 3 of Misfit Mindset, we unpack what it really means to live different on purpose. Rooted in Psalm 143:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17–21, and John 15, this teaching explores the powerful truth that identity comes before activity and that in order to do the will of God, we must first learn to abide in Him. We are not working for acceptance but from it. We are ambassadors of Christ, called to represent Him in a culture that often moves the opposite direction. This message will challenge you to rethink your relationship with God, stir your affection for Him, and discover how to stay connected to the Vine so real spiritual fruit can grow. If you want to understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, walk in your new identity in Christ, and live a life that truly reflects the gospel, lean in and watch to the end.
