Title: Anxiety, Depression and Jesus Speaker: Aaron Hoover Series: Light in the Dark
Don’t Ring The Bell Daniel 3:1-30 Sermon Series: A Light in the Dark Speaker: Ronnie Cannon ’Tis the season that we sing about all that is merry and bright, but truth is, for some, the world is still dark. And for many of us, life feels heavy, confusing, or just plain hard. The story of Advent tells us that God doesn’t wait for things to get better before He shows up. He steps into the mess; into injustice, silence, and sorrow with a light that can’t be overcome by what’s dark. Whether you’re full of faith or struggling to hold on, this is a season to remember: the darkness is real, but it does not win. Come and behold the Light in the Darkness at Eastpoint Church!
Sermon Title: Yet To Be Told Date: November 23, 2025 Passage: Psalm 78:4-7 Sermon Series: Vision Sunday Speaker: Sam Cassese What if the most important stories God wants to write through our church won’t be told in our lifetime? This week we’ll look at a Psalm that pulls our eyes off the urgency of the present and onto the generations yet to be born. It raises a challenging question: are we building a faith, a culture, and a witness meant only for us...or for our children’s children? Psalm 78 invites us into a vision of discipleship and ministry that outlives us— and calls us to consider what we’re planting today for the sake of tomorrow. fortheshore.com
Sermon Title: Perfect Posture Date: November 16, 2025 Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 Sermon Series: Faithful to the End Speaker: Sam Cassese Have you ever noticed how much posture matters? If we neglect it, we get sore, strained, and out of alignment. The same is true in our faith. Churches can lose their balance. Hearts can drift out of alignment. As Paul closes his letter to the Thessalonians, he gives us a picture of the “perfect posture” for a church that’s ready for Jesus’ return. How do we stay upright, healthy, and faithful to the end? Listen in!
Sermon Title: Sleepy Night Night Date: November 9, 2025 Passage: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Sermon Series: Faithful to the End Speaker: Sam Cassese We’ve all seen it — someone fighting sleep and losing. Eyes droop, head nods, the battle’s over. Staying awake can be hard, especially when you’re tired. But what about spiritually? In a world that lulls us with comfort and distraction, Paul calls the church to wake up and live alert to what’s really coming. Are you awake... or just dreaming with your eyes open?
Sermon: Fine China - October 19, 2025 Passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 Sermon Series: Faithful to the End Speaker: Sam Cassese Some things are meant to be handled with care. Fine china isn’t used every day — it’s set apart, treasured, and treated differently because of its value. In this week’s message, Paul calls the Thessalonians — and us — to live the same way. In a culture that treats sex casually and reverence for God as optional, we’re reminded that our lives aren’t disposable or common. They’re meant to reflect something sacred — lives that are pure, intentional, and set apart to please God.
Sermon Title: Don't Be Shaken Passage: 1 Thessalonians 3 Sermon Series: Faithful to the End Date: October 12, 2025 Speaker: Michael Hearn What happens to our faith when life gets hard, temptation sneaks in, and we’re not sure if we’re still standing firm? Paul knew that feeling well — so much so that he sent Timothy to check in on the believers in Thessalonica, desperate to know if their faith was holding strong. Join us and see why standing firm in the Lord isn’t just about surviving storms — it’s about thriving through them, together.
Sermon Title: Carry Sermon Series: Faithful to the End Passage: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: 9/28/2025 Everyone carries themselves in a certain way. But what does it look like to carry yourself as someone who carries the gospel? This week we’ll look at Paul’s example—and discover how we can show up like Jesus in a world that’s hungry for truth. And along the way, we’ll see why the way we carry ourselves might speak louder than we realize.
Sermon: Still Standing Passage: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 Sermon Series: Faithful to the End Date: September 21, 2025 Speaker: Sam Cassese It’s a special weekend for Eastpoint as we launch a new campus in Centreville, and we’re starting with a look at the very first days of another young church—planted in the bustling city of Thessalonica. Against pressure, opposition, and uncertainty, that church didn’t just survive, it thrived, and the ripple effects spread far and wide. What was their secret? In this sermon, we’ll uncover how God’s saving work in them became something the whole world could see. And we’ll discover how the same God who sparked a movement in Thessalonica is still at work here on the Eastern Shore, in your home, and in your story.
Sermon: Peanut Butter Jelly Time Series: Multiiply Passage: Acts 17:1-9 Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: September 14, 2025 Some things are inseparable—salt and pepper, chips and salsa, peanut butter and jelly. In Acts 17, Paul and his church planting team bring the gospel to a new city, and as they do, there are two things that always go together when it’s time to plant a church and preach the gospel. What are they? Listen in as we see what they are and prepare to plant.
