Eastview Students: High School

// Prayer // - October 13th, 2024

After attending Big Church with the adults on October 6th, we're back this week with our Practicing Jesus series in the normal HS space. Our topic this week is prayer, and what it looks like to prayer as a Christ-follower. We oftentimes overcomplicate prayer, and we hope that this week's message provides practical encouragement on what prayer is, how to pray, and the power of prayer.

COUNTERCULTURE is back!!

During our "Practicing Jesus" series, Zach & Cooper sit down weekly and dive into each week's topic. These mini-episodes are meant to give insight into the question: "how does a High School student practice (topic) in their daily lives?" This week, Zach & Cooper discuss "community", and how a student can practice community and approach friendships in their Christ-following journey.

// I Will Make You // - September 22nd, 2024

Who are we becoming? Who do you want to be? This week, Zach preaches from 2 Peter 1, and focuses on our Spiritual Formation, and how God wants to make us more like Him. Our daily decisions, habits, spiritual disciplines, etc affect our growth, and Zach encourages us to be intentional about these decisions, in order to let Jesus make us more and more like Him.

// Come, Follow Me // - September 15th, 2024

This week, Zach preaches from John 1 & Matthew 4 about Jesus' call to follow Him. What does it look like to "Practice" Jesus? As a ministry, we are going on a journey to discover what it looks like to become more like Jesus, and this week helps set the stage for what the next few months will look like.

// VISION SUNDAY 2024 //

This Sunday, Zach talks about the identity of our High School ministry, and what our vision is for who we're becoming as a ministry.

In the last week of our "God & Mental Health" series, Zach spends time focusing on our individual battles with our worth, self-image/worth, and identity. In a world that's constantly changing, and in a culture that seems to be more insecure than ever, Zach reminds us that we can find our identity in Christ, even in the midst of our insecurities & the things we don't like about ourselves. This is a battle for each of us, and it's a difficult one, but God promises hope, love, and truth in the midst of our fight against the lies we often believe about ourselves.

// August 25th, 2024 //

In the third week of our Mental Health series, Zach talks about addiction. How does the Bible address addiction? What do we do about shame? What does it look like to seek help in the midst of addictive behavior? We know that addiction is prevalent in our culture (whether it's substances, pornography, or even our cell phones), and we hope that this week's message can be a source of encouragement in the midst of those struggles.

// August 18th, 2024 //

This week, Zach talks all about anxiety. What is anxiety? Where is it found in scripture? What do we do if we struggle with anxiety? Where is God in the midst of our anxiety? We hope that this week is an encouragement to those who struggle with anxiety, or have loved ones that experience anxiety.

In any given year, about 1 in 4 adults suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder. In today's world, teens mental health is maybe at an all-time low. It can be so hard to find God in all of our struggles with mental health, so we wanted to spend a series talking about mental health, and how God meets us in the midst of our battles. Week 1 is about depression, and Zach talks about what depression is, where it's found in scripture, and where God is in the midst of depression.

This week, as we take a break between two sermon series', Allison spends time encouraging us to seek Christian community and talks about the importance and beauty of having friends & mentors that point you to Christ.
