// Rod and Staff - Psalm 23:4 //

"Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and staff protect and comfort me."

Eastview's Junior High pastor (Matt McClane) talks to us this week about the fears, valleys, and darkness we may experience in our lives, and how God is always with us, even in the midst of our hard seasons.

// Pastures and Waters - Psalm 23:1-3 //

"The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name."

In the first week of our mini-series on Psalm 23, Zach dives into the first 3 verses of this encouraging Psalm. May you be reminded today that the Lord is your Shepherd, and that He is with you in whatever season you are in!

// EMPOWER THE WORKER - Matthew 9:35-38 //

In the last week of our "Attitudes" series, Zach preaches from Matthew 9, where Jesus says "the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." As Christians, how can we approach this problem and become more invitational? What does it look like for us to be the workers that Jesus is talking about in this passage? Zach approaches these topics, and more!

// SAY THANK YOU - Luke 17:11-19 //

How often do we thank God for the blessings in our lives? Or thank Him for saving us? If you're like most of us, we probably don't thank God as much as we should. This week, Zach preaches from the Gospel of Luke about the leper who came back and thanked Jesus for healing him, and how we can apply that story to our own lives.

// EMPTY THE JAR - Mark 14:1-11 //

This week, Zach preaches from Mark 14 about the woman who emptied her alabaster jar of expensive perfume to anoint and worship Jesus. What does it look like to give our best to God and "empty the jar" in our own lives? What things do we need to be surrendering to God? Zach covers these topics, and more!

// GRAB A TOWEL - February 9th, 2025 //

This week, Zach preaches about Jesus washing the disciples feet, and what it looks like to "grab a towel" and serve those around us.

// RIP THE ROOF - Mark 2:1-12 //

This week, guest preacher and former HSM student Polina Kreuz preaches from Mark 2 about going above and beyond to show others Jesus. As Christians, what does it look like to go outside of our comfort zones to encourage others in their faith? What does it look like for us to show Christ to our non-believing friends? Polina answers these questions, and more!

// PASS THE SALT - Matthew 5:13-16 //

This week, Zach is joined by Ratasha as they talk about "passing the salt." Salt is best known for bringing preservation and flavor to everything it comes into contact with. As Christians, how can we be "salty" and preserve our faith while also showing others Christ? What does it look like for us to be IN the world, but not OF the world?

// WATCH THE WIND - John 3:7-8 //

This week is all about the Holy Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit, and how does he work in our lives? How do we know when we're hearing the Holy Spirit speak to us?

// CHOOSE THE BETTER - Luke 10:38-42 //

In the first week of our new series "Attitudes," where we dive into the behaviors that we want our church to embody, Zach dives into the FIRST attitude: "Choose the Better."
