Sermon: Crowd Control Passage: Luke 14:25-32 Speaker: Sam Cassese In this sermon, we step back in time and into a crowd. Thousands were gathered around Jesus, all hungry for a miracle and eager to be near Him. But, instead of comforting words, He spoke something unexpected—something that made many in the crowd turn away. What challenged their hearts so deeply? And what does it mean for us who are seeking to follow Him today? Check out Crowd Control and discover why following Jesus isn’t always what the crowd expects.
Title: Decision Day Speaker: Sam Cassese Series: Runaway - The Gospel According to Philemon Passage: Philemon 1:17-25 What if someone else could rewrite your resume? Not your job history—but the story of your life. This week, we reach the epic conclusion of Philemon, where two very different stories collide at the front door, and everything hinges on how one man chooses to respond. It’s a moment packed with tension, grace, and a surprising twist that just might reshape how you see God—and yourself.
Title: Mind Blown Sermon Series: Runaway - The Gospel According to Philemon Passage: Philemon 1:8-16 Speaker: Sam Cassese Mind. Blown. This week we hit a moment in the story that is so unexpected, so grace-filled, it’ll make you sit back and say, “No way.” Paul sends a runaway slave back home… with a letter that changes everything. What should’ve ended in chains—or worse—becomes a display of gospel transformation, heart obedience, and God’s unstoppable sovereignty. If you've ever wondered what good could possibly come from your mess and mistakes, don’t miss this.
Title: First Things First Sermon Series: Runaway - The Gospel According to Philemon Passage: Philemon 1:1-8 Speaker: Sam Cassese Picture this: A story that can change lives. One meant to be told over and over again—but more than that, a story that, once internalized, can change the trajectory of your entire future. For followers of Jesus, that’s exactly what the Gospel is. It’s a real-life story that’s more than just something to know; it’s something that shapes how we live—how we treat others, how we invest our time and money, and how we respond when we’re wronged. Jesus’ followers are living proof that this story still changes lives. We see a powerful example of this in the book of Philemon—a story centered around a runaway named Onesimus. His situation is real, complicated, and full of tension. It had the potential to erupt in drama, pain, and even death. But instead, it becomes a testament to what happens when the Gospel shapes our everyday decisions. The story of Philemon isn’t just a one-off event; it reflects the Gospel itself. In one way or another, each of us has been a runaway—distancing ourselves from God or wandering down paths that took us far from Him. But the beautiful truth of the Gospel is this: God never stops pursuing us. And when we surrender to that pursuit, our story becomes one worth living and worth telling.
Title: The Rock of Refuge Sermon Series: Stand Alone Sermon Passage: Exodus 6: 1-13 Speaker: Jake Gamble Feeling like the world is spiraling out of control? Exodus 6 reminds us that God isn’t fighting for power—He is power. Evil doesn’t stand a chance against Him. He’s not panicked, pressured, or outmatched. He is undefeated, unshaken, and forever in control. If you belong to Him, you’re already on the winning side. Join us this Sunday as we dive into The Rock of Refuge and discover the strength and peace that comes from trusting a God who never loses.
Title: Lost, But Not Left Speaker: Ronnie Cannon Passage: Romans 3:9-20 Let's be honest - nobody likes being told they are lost and need rescuing. But what if that's exactly what we need to hear? This week, we're diving into Romans 3:9-20, where Paul paints a pretty honest (and pretty rough) picture of our condition without Jesus. It's not just that we mess up sometimes- we are utterly lost on our own. But there is good news. God didn't leave us that way. Join us Sunday, ready to wrestle with the truth and see the hope that changes everything.
Title: Come Alive Speaker: Sam Cassese Series: Easter/In Our Place Passage: Colossians 2:13-14 Do you long to come alive? Does your soul thirst for a life that is filled with meaning; we're not talking a pain free life - that doesn’t exist - or a life of hype moment after hype moment - that’s exhausting. But inside we long for a life of consistent joy and contentment, a level of purpose that makes sense of the highs and the lows, gives meaning to the momentous and the mundane. Do you long to wake up from the dream and truly live a life that can be called life? There’s only one place where this is found. As we celebrate the fact that Jesus was made alive, we’re going to see where it is and how we can get there.
Title: My Old Man Speaker: Sam Cassese Series: In Our Place Passage: Romans 6:1-11 I know it’s a bit unorthodox, but this week I’m going to introduce Eastpoint Church to my old man! He’s for sure an unusual guest, but he’s really going to help us understand this weeks’ passage in Romans 6. As a matter of fact, I would have a really hard time walking our church through this passage at all without telling you more about him and my somewhat complicated past with him. Learning about him is going to help you grasp this week’s passage in a whole new way and hopefully lead you to experience the level of insight, freedom and victory God wants you to have in your life. In the mean time, please be praying for me and my relationship with My Old Man.
Title: Mission Impossible Speaker: Daniel Fuoco Series: In Our Place Passage: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 What does it mean to be truly reconciled to God? In a world filled with broken relationships and misunderstandings, the Apostle Paul reminds us of a powerful truth: God has taken the first step in mending the divide between humanity and Himself. The offended seeks to forgive and reconcile with His offender! It seems like a Mission Impossible, yet Christ’s sacrifice makes this extraordinary reconciliation possible. Join us as we explore how this incredible act of forgiveness invites us into a new reality of restoration, not just between us and God but also between us and each other.
Title: Blessed Speaker: Sam Cassese Series: In Our Place Passage: Romans 5:6-11 In this series, we’re diving into one of the most impactful stories ever told—one that has shaped cultures, values, and lives for centuries. We want to invite you to ask yourself some questions like: Do you really understand what the Gospel is? What’s the big deal about Jesus’ death? What’s behind the idea that one person’s life and death can change everything for the rest of us? And what does it really mean when people say Jesus died “in our place”? As Easter approaches, let’s take this opportunity to explore the deeper meaning behind these questions together. Whether you’ve heard these concepts a hundred times or this is your very first time, we invite you to see things from a new perspective. Get ready for an honest conversation about how this story might connect with your life—and why it still matters today!
