April 20, 2025 was Easter -- Resurrection Day! 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 shows us why the resurrection is important and how it can give us hope.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself, "Why is the resurrection important?"

"How should the truth of the resurrection give me hope?"

In this sermon we talk about greeting/welcoming others to church. With Easter next week (and higher church attendance), we want to be prepared to welcome believers and unbelievers who join us that day...even those who maybe different from us. Beyond Easter, we should think about what our church will look like in the future. How can we serve others and not just do what makes us most comfortable? Passages like Romans 15:1-7 and James 2:1-9 will help us.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself, "What can I do to help others feel welcome at our church?"

Sunday, March 16 is 3/16.

In light of that, Elder Tom Toone will encourage us with a message based on one of the most famous verses of the Bible: John 3:16. He will speak on what this verse teaches us about God's love.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself,

"When was the first time I heard John 3:16?"

"Why is God's love important to me?"

In this sermon we will talk about the life-changing power of the gospel of Jesus Christ from Titus 2:11-15. The gospel is from God's grace and brings salvation that makes a difference in our lives. It gives us hope, redeems us, and brings us into God's family. Our mission as a church is to share that message.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself,

"What is my favorite part of the gospel?"

"How do I share the gospel message?"

In this sermon we will continue our study of the mission of the church in Titus 1:10-16. In this passage, Paul challenges us to confront dangerous errors that often try to worm their way into the church. We must fight for the truth that our salvation is based on faith alone and there is nothing we can (or need to) add to it. At the same time, God holds us accountable to live out that truth by living for Him.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself,

"Why is it important to fight/stand up for the truth of salvation?" "What difference does that truth make in your life?"

The Apostle Paul challenges our church to raise up godly leaders in Titus 1:5-9. Elders are one example of those kinds of leaders, but every believer should aspire to grow in spiritual maturity.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself,

"Am I growing in my love for the Lord?"

"Do I lead/inspire others to know/worship Him?"

"Does my character reflect my relationship with Jesus?"

We start a new sermon series through the book of Titus. Our focus will be on what God says our mission/goal as a church should be. In Titus 1:1-4, we'll talk about our responsibility to know the truth, live it out, and trust in the hope of eternal life.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself, "How did I come to know God's truth?" "How does knowing that truth make a difference in my life?"

Elder Tom Toone challenges us to give to the Lord and to share the good news about Him.

What do I give to the Lord? How do I share about Him?

This week we are going to be looking at Isaiah 62, the whole chapter. One core tenet of East Shore is evangelism, we love it, we share the gospel every week. We collect the evangelism stories each week to encourage us to press on.
As this is Pastor Tom's final sermon, he wants to encourage you all the more to continue sharing the gospel! It is Pastor Tom’s prayer that Isaiah 62 will only strengthen that passion of gospel proclamation.
