Eastview Students: High School

This week, Zach looks at Jesus’ prayer in the garden the night before he heads to the cross. This moment changes everything for us because it shows that Jesus went through the deepest emotions and pain we face today. We take comfort in knowing he understands how we feel, and we get to see just how much he loves us. He was willing to be in this much agony so that we wouldn’t have to. If you looking for some encouragement in your struggles, give this message a listen. (2/27/22)

This week, our friend Annie Brzezinski kicks off our new series "This Changes Everything." We'll be diving into the stories surrounding the cross and the resurrection, and how they drastically change our stories. In this week's sermon, Annie kicks off the series with an encouraging message about love, forgiveness, and the act of taking communion. (2/20/22)

This week, Zach unpacks the church-wide vision, called "Love McClean County." What does it look like to love every person, every business, and every school in McLean county? As High School students, we have the opportunity to love people in our schools, clubs, and sports teams, and Zach encourages us to follow the commandments found in Mark 12 (Love God, Love People).

We, like Peter, all have a tendency to deny Jesus. Whether with our silence or with our lifestyle. As those with the good news of Jesus, what does it look like to show others we follow Him? In this sermon, we will learn to show that we are followers of Jesus. But more important, know we can be because all of our failures are gone and done with. (2/6/22)

Join us for a special Counterculture episode where we sit down with Taylor Brown (CIY, Rough Terrain Studios) and talk about following Jesus.

This week, Zach talks about Peters response to Jesus being arrested. Instead of looking to Jesus and following his plan, he pulls out a sword and start swinging. In the moments where we feel prone to temptation/sin, instead of lashing out, we should look to Jesus. (1/30/22)

Life is hard. So many of us face really difficult challenges, and it can be easy to feel discouraged and overwhelmed. This week, Matt encourages us to stop facing these things alone! God is ready to meet us in the midst of our hardships in life. As we navigate the hard things in life, let's turn to God in prayer. He's listening, and He loves us so much. (1/23/22)

This week, Zach talks about Peter’s failure to make a promise he can’t keep. So often we approach following Jesus with an “I got it” attitude. But, when we rely on ourselves, instead of Jesus, we get a greater failure because of myself. We need more of a “Jesus help me approach.” Zach talks about how we can do that and how we can also find hope that even when we do fail, Jesus is there to meet us on the other side. (1/16/22)

How often do we make assumptions about Jesus that aren't true? How often do we follow man-made ideas of Jesus, instead of following who Jesus actually is? As we kick off the new year, we also are kicking off a new series called "Failing Fearlessly," where we'll dive into the different redemptive failures of the apostle Peter. This week, Zach tackles these questions above, while encouraging us that Jesus is EVERYTHING that we want Him to be, and so much more. What does it look like to follow Jesus this year as we start 2022? (1/2/22)

This week, Matt preaches from the perspective of the paralyzed man in Mark 2:1-12. Do you feel stuck in your sin? This is a story of redemption, restoration, and forgiveness, and we hope that it is encouraging for you this week! (12/12/21)
