Eastside Church

In week two of our Wise Up series, Pastor Scott Kelly takes us deeper into the Book of Psalms—a collection of songs and prayers that guide us toward God’s wisdom. Focusing on Psalms 1 and 2, we see how these opening chapters serve as the gateway into a sacred space where God meets with us. This message invites us to reflect on what shapes our thinking, behavior, and sense of belonging—and challenges us to find lasting blessing by rooting our lives in God's Word.

We start a new sermon series called WISE UP—a journey into biblical wisdom for life’s hardest moments. In this opening message, Pastor John Hull looks at the life of Job, the man who lost everything yet never lost his faith. His story raises tough but honest questions: Why do righteous people suffer? Why would a loving God allow pain? And how do we hold on when life doesn’t make sense?

Most people say they believe Jesus rose from the dead—but many aren’t sure it actually matters. This Easter, Pastor John Hull confronts that disconnect in a message that explores the real and life-altering impact of the resurrection. Drawing from Ephesians 1 and Romans 8, The Riches of the Resurrection reveals how the resurrection is far more than a historical event—it’s a source of power that shapes our thinking, transforms our living, and secures our eternity.

Every serious leader prioritizes defense—how much more should God’s people when it comes to spiritual battles? In this powerful message, Pastor John Hull walks us through Ephesians 6 and reminds us that while the devil is a cunning adversary—trickster, tempter, liar, and more—God has not left us unprotected.

In a world where relationships often feel fractured and fragile, Pastor Scott Kelly delivered a powerful and practical message from Ephesians 5 on what it means to be truly rich in relationships. Rooted deeply in Scripture, the message reminded us that life is not about possessions or status—it’s about relationships: with God, with others, and with ourselves.

One of the most powerful themes we emphasize every Sunday is forgiveness. Through worship, prayer, preaching, the Lord’s Table, and sharing the Gospel, we celebrate the incredible truth that we are Richer than Rich in God’s forgiveness.

What does it mean to be truly rich? In his sermon Richer than Rich: Richly Gifted, Pastor Scott Kelly unpacks Ephesians 4:7-14, revealing that the wealth of the church is not measured in material possessions but in the spiritual gifts given by Christ. A healthy church is marked by gospel unity, ministry diversity, and spiritual maturity—all empowered by Christ’s grace.

What makes a church truly rich? It’s not its buildings, programs, or even its size—it’s its unity and peace. In Ephesians 4:1-6, Paul calls the church to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit,” reminding us that the Holy Spirit creates unity, and it’s our responsibility to maintain it.

The world is fascinated by wealth, but Scripture reveals a deeper, eternal richness. In this new series, Richer Than Rich, we uncover the MYSTERY of true spiritual wealth—hidden for ages but now revealed in Christ.

In our final message on identity, we examine what it means to be "In Christ" through the lens of Romans. Pastor John Hull walks us through three essential truths: who we were, who we are, and who we will be. We were once dead in sin, but now, through Christ, we are justified, redeemed, and free.
