Our Sermons

I think generally, we’re a thankful people here at Eastside. We spent the first part of our service speaking words of thanksgiving as we’ve quoted various different words of Scripture. We’ve sung hymns of thanksgiving. In a few minutes, we’ll approach the throne of God’s grace and thank him again for specific blessings. I’ve even heard people who are so thankful, that they say, “Thanks for nothing!” Can you believe that?

“You are all a bunch of sheep!” That phrase has been tossed around quite a bit over the last year. And it’s not a compliment. Usually, it’s in reference to people who blindly follow someone or something. However, that picture of being a sheep is much different for the Christian.

Everything has changed since January 9, 2007. Do you know what happened on that day? A man walked out onto a stage wearing jeans and a black turtleneck and everything changed.

This might have been one of the hardest sermons I’ve ever had to write. Not hard in the sense that I didn’t know what I was going to write. But hard in the sense knowing how much I was going to have to leave out.
