This Sunday Pastor will continue with the series “Consecrate”, becoming Loving & Sacrificial. “If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” That is a sobering thought. I don’t about you but right now all I can say is I hope so. Come Sunday and see how Pastor might help show us how to be more confident with our answer.

Sunday night we are going to be blessed with the “Heart of America Teen Challenge”
Come and hear the wonderful testimonies of how God has changed and transformed lives.
Hope to see you Sunday

What a wonderful time we had with our missionary friends Aaron and Julie! We had great services and looking forward to this Sunday. Pastor’s sermon was powerful!

Pastor’s sermon this Sunday is from 1 John 3:10 “This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are. Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God, nor I anyone who does not love his brother”.

Sunday evenings, Jerry Rice will be speaking from the book of Mark. It will be followed by a verse by verse study of the book of Mark in our 9:30am Sunday School.

April 25th the Heart of America Teen Challenge in Lawrence Kansas will be joining us in our evening service.

May 5 starts a Wednesday night services. Our theme is “How Big is Our God”

May 16, Cosmo and Rivkah Panzetta missionaries to Jewish Ministries will be Word of God.

Exciting events for the summer are in the works. Come and be apart of the Eastpoint family

This Sunday’s sermon is titled “Honoring God in our Relationships”. Start reading in Ephesians 5:21 “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ”.

Sunday night, missionaries to the Czech Republic Aaron & Julie Davis will be sharing.
This is a precious couple with a sweet baby who will be leaving America to preach the gospel in a foreign land. Come experience their enthusiasm for Christ.

Pastor and I are so excited about starting our Wednesday night services on May 5th.
“How great is our God” is our theme with an emphasis on prayer.

This afternoon we will be celebrating our first Good Friday Service. Honoring our, Lord and Savior, who died on the cross for our sins.

We are excited about Easter Sunday! The sun is supposed to be shining and Pastor has a great Easter message “They Didn’t Understand”. In Luke 18:13-17, the disciples did not understand any of this. The meaning was hidden from them and they did not know what He was talking about. Come hear how these interesting verses can come alive!

Easter eggs will all over our church property for a great Easter egg hunt after service.

Starting Wednesday May 5, we will be having a mid week service. A devotional will be shared and then a time of prayer and rejoicing. Come be apart of something new.

Sunday evenings have been so refreshing with the study of Ephesians. This Sunday night Pastor will be sharing from Ephesians 6:13-17, “Don’t Lose your Mind”.

If you do not have church home, come and try Eastpoint!

It has been a wonderful several weeks at Eastpoint! We have been so busy; I have not been able to report everything.

Pastor preached Sunday about doing our work as unto the Lord. Boy, I have really had to keep repeating that to myself this week.

This Sunday, Pastor’s AM sermon will be “The Trail and Death of Jesus”. Yes, it is already the Easter season, celebrating the resurrection of Christ.

Next Sunday is our Easter egg hunt on our church property after service. We expect a big crowd. We want everyone to invite their friends.

Sunday evening we have been wonderful services. Going through the book of Ephesians has been so enlightening.

Pray for sunshine, but even if there is no sun, we will come to worship the Son of God.

See you at Eastpoint.

Well, we are praying for no more SNOW.

This Sunday Pastor is sharing from Philippians 4:11 “I learned in whatever state I am, to be content. Wow, I need this sermon. Come join us.

GI Joe Or Sgt. Rock?

Back in the day, there were two men. Both were the same, but different, too. Their names were G.I. Joe and Sgt. Rock. Both were highly trained soldiers; they knew their jobs and their enemies well. However, their differences easily identified them. Joe had all the cool stuff—the largest weapons and firearms, the newest technologies, and the most hopped-up vehicles around. Not to mention the fact that he was a good-looking guy matched only by his chivalrous approach. Yeah, the members of the opposite gender just never had a chance.

Now Sgt. Rock on the other hand, he had two items he carried with him at all times: his pack and his trusted M-16 rifle. With those two items, Sgt. Rock could take down small, insurgent countries that were imposing on the freedoms of others. He wasn’t as debonair as Joe. He was shorter, wore fatigues with the sleeves rolled up to his mid-bicep, and had a grimace permanently frozen on his mission bound face. NOTHING could stop Rock from accomplishing the mission—nothing.

Now if we are soldiers for Christ in a continuous battle with the forces of the devil, we could reasonably fall into a “Joe” category or a “Rock” category. A “Joe” category would be one where you have all the most recent gadgetry to win souls for Jesus. You have the latest downloaded version of the Bible, you have satellite radio tuned to a Christian station continuously, and you have GPS maps to all of the best churches in town (the ones with top-of-the-line sound systems, great worship teams, soft pews, etc.). The “Rock” category is a little less “geared up”. You have a well-used Bible; which is handy because you have practiced access to scriptures that are pertinent to winning souls. You know numerous hymns, in case you are in an area where there are no Christian radio stations. And if someone asks you where there is a great church to be involved with, you know members of different churches who teach the sound gospel of Jesus Christ; friendly contacts who can help others achieve the potential God has prepared for them.

Don’t get me wrong. Both soldiers are ready and able to do the job placed before them, just their methods may be different. The question you have to ask yourself is this: Are you allowing the method to interfere with the goal of the mission—to win souls for Jesus? Are you relying too much on the latest and greatest technology to do the job for you that people don’t understand how to accept, and are not accepting Christ as their Savior? Or, are you so proud of your abilities with the least amount of help from tools you have been given that some souls may be missed by your need to prove what you are capable of? Once you have identified your military discipline, ask God to help you fine tune your training; in order that you can be a more effective soul-winning machine.
