Eastland Church

We are all under construction—so what kind of life do you want to build?

In this week's message from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:16–24), we dive into what it really looks like to dismantle the false masters in our lives and discover true freedom. Whether it’s letting go of worry or aligning our hearts with God's purpose, following Jesus changes everything.

Ever feel like life is messy and you’re trying to figure out which way to turn? 🚧

In this week of our "Under Construction" series, we looked at how God meets us right in the middle of our unfinished pieces. Prayer isn't about putting on a religious performance or finding the "perfect" words—it’s simply drawing near (proserchomai) to a Heavenly Father who already knows what we need, loves us through every season of remodeling, and listens.

If it was your first time worshipping with us this weekend, welcome home! We would love to get to know you. Head over to Eastland.org/Connect-Card to fill out a quick card—one of our pastors will connect with you within 48 hours to answer any questions and pray for you.

Giving back to the mission? You can give anytime at Eastland.org/Give.

Have a blessed week, and remember: you don't have to have it all together for God to do something amazing in your life! ❤️

Feeling weighed down by worry or stuck in the spiritual mud? Remember that you don't have to carry the weight alone—surrendering control brings true freedom and peace.

Join us this morning at 11:00 AM as we dive into God’s Word and discover how to trade anxiety for trust.

**At the end of this week's message, there are questions we would like you to spend time in reflection and pray about. You can find those questions below.**

It’s easy to love the people who love us back—but what about the ones who don't? Join us at 11:00 am, we’re continuing our walk through Matthew 5 with a powerful message on what it really looks like to love and pray for our enemies.

**REFLECTION QUESTIONS**

* Who do you need to see the way God sees them?

* What thing in your life is keeping you from being who God calls you to be?

* What enemy do you need to pray for? Pray for them now.

We’ve all experienced broken promises—from the boss who promised a raise that never came, to ultimatums we didn’t follow through on, to the simple commitments we let slip. But in Matthew 5:33–37, Jesus calls us to a higher standard: letting our "Yes" simply be "Yes" and our "No" be "No."

Integrity isn't about perfection; it’s about character, legacy, and owning our moments—even when we fall short and need to apologize and grow.

Join us today at 11:00 AM as we dive into what it means to build a life of authentic integrity and be salt and light in our community.

Ever felt that split-second spark turn into a forest fire? 🔥

Whether it’s bad drivers, impossible work deadlines, or the kids pushing every last button—anger is an emotion we all face. In this week’s message, we look at what Jesus said in Matthew 5 about the power of our words and the hidden cost of letting bitterness burn unchecked.

When we scorch the people around us, the soot sticks to everything. But there’s a better path: slowing the fuse, dropping the defensiveness, and stepping into real reconciliation.
