We continue our study of James in this Sunday's sermon from Eastside's Rev. Timothy Lloyd. Tim preaches from James's warning about the destructive power of words and calls us to recognize the creative power of speech given in love.

Favoritism has often led the church away from its calling, even from the earliest days of Christianity. This Sunday Tim preaches from James's warning against partiality in Christian community.

Eastside's Reverend Timothy Lloyd preaches on the call from the book of James to live lives of faith in action.

Eastside's Reverend Timothy Lloyd preaches about the centrality of Eucharist in Christianity and in Eastside's own liturgy. Today's sermon is based on the lectionary reading of Jesus's words from John 6:52-71, which follow John's account of the feeding of the 5,000.

What does it mean for Jesus to be the "bread of life"" Eastside's Rev. Timothy Lloyd preaches from a famous passage in the Gospel of John in which Jesus draws parallels between himself and God's provision in the Israelite's exodus from Egypt. Tim challenges us to remember our need for spiritual nourishment and feed on the bread of life.

Eastside's Rev. Timothy Lloyd preaches from Ephesians 4:17-32, where Paul reminds the church of its new identity and new self in God – and exhorts the church to act like it.

Today our Atlanta United Methodist District Superintendent the Rev. Dr. Quincy Jones preached to us from the Gospel of Mark's telling of the feeding of the 5,000. Dr. Jones shares how this story echoes the ancient Exodus story and calls its hearers to give impossible situations to God just as the disciples handed loaves and fish to Jesus.

Long-time Eastsider Dave Logeman gives today's sermon on the kind of things we humans have inherited - for good and for bad – and the inheritance of hope which Christians can have for themselves and for the world. Dave preaches today from Paul's beautiful prayer in his letter to the Ephesians in Ephesians 1:3-14.
