Eagle Brook Church Video Podcast

You know that time you did that one bad thing? It was so bad you can't even say it out loud? If people find out, what will they think? Jesus didn't give up His life so you could hang onto one past sin or mistake. Despite the mess we make of our lives, God loves us.

Who do you follow? And not just on Instagram or Twitter—but who has your trust in real life? It's easy to get caught in the trap of being a Jesus consumer instead of a Jesus follower. We expect signs and wonders, but aren't willing to take on the cost that faith often requires.

It's so easy to believe that once I find my spouse, get that promotion or shake this anxiety—then I will be completely satisfied. But, it's only Jesus who can quench our thirst and remind us we are loved deeply by Him—exactly as we are.

Some of us feel defeated, empty, or dead inside. Or maybe we're alive, but not really living. When God's Spirit enters your life, everything changes. You feel alive, forgiven, and loved by God—and you experience peace.

You don't need your circumstances to be different. The same you in a different set of circumstances isn't the secret. Christ in you? That's the secret. The power of Christ is accessible to believers—you and me—WOW!

God's most stunning creation is a life transformed by Jesus. When we trade our old life for eternal life and declare our faith in Jesus—that's the biggest Wow. 

Maybe you were wow-ed at first by maple-bacon donuts—but now? Been there, done that. Falling snow is beautiful, but too much becomes inconvenient. God sent His Son so you could trade your old life for eternal life. Wow. But John 3:16? You could say it in your sleep. Join Teaching Pastor Jason Strand as he takes a deeper look at the truth of John 3:16 and how we can challenge the curse of familiarity.

Words are powerful—no debate. They can inspire and build up, but they can also destroy. So how do we choose our responses wisely? In his message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand talks about the root cause of what the Bible calls "reckless words" and how we can better watch what we say—and how we say it.

We are called to live in community with each other—but we all know how messy that can be. Conflict happens, and we are left with a choice to lean in and have a crucial conversation or to walk away. Both are defining moments in our relationships. In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt shares practical and biblical ways to help us navigate crucial conversations so that we can have healthy relationships.

God designed us to be in intimate relationships with one another—not physically, but emotionally and spiritually. In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand challenges us to measure the amount of relational intimacy in our lives and encourages us to repair the ruptures that exist within our relationships.

The world say that weakness is a problem—something to be ashamed of. But in this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt challenges us to stop viewing our weaknesses as drawbacks and start seeing them for what they really are: Ways for God to show up in our lives in big ways.

Troubles in this life are a guarantee. But how we respond to them? That’s up to us. In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand challenges us to ask God for help rather than trying to get by on our own—because He is the ultimate refuge in times of trouble.

What’s the cure for soul fatigue—when you’re not just physically tired but weary deep in your soul? In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt encourages us to truly surrender ourselves to God. Because only in surrender can we find true rest and peace.

Ever feel like quitting? You’re tired. You’re weary of dealing with the same sin, same fights, same issues. In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand challenges us to endure when we feel like quitting and learn to trust God in the waiting.

How can we reach one more person, family, and community at a time with the love of Jesus? Only with your help. In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt challenges each of us to make a sacrifice, take a step of faith, and get involved with our church’s mission of reaching people for Christ.

When it comes to money, who do you trust? Your bank? Your 401K? Your investor? In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand challenges us to trust God, first and foremost, with our money—because when we put Him first in our finances, we’ll always have what we need.

It’s easy to wonder what God’s will is for our lives. Does He want me to go this direction or that one? Take this job or chase that dream?

Each of us have different natural gifts, talents, and passions. But if you’ve put your faith in Christ, you also have a spiritual gift. In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand challenges us to discover our spiritual gift—because it’s the key to understanding the unique calling that God has placed on your life.

We all battle something within ourselves—insecurity, anxiety, addiction, fear. And when we let these things fill us, we become vulnerable to temptations that can hurt us. In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt challenges to instead be filled with the Spirit, and the fullness of life and power that comes from Him.
