Jesus didn't come to leave the world the way it was. He came to change things—to disrupt the norm and make a better way. What if we let him do that in our lives, too? Whatever’s holding you back, he can break it down and rebuild something new, something better.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone on your side through the ups and downs of life—helping you put out your fires and cheering you on through every win? It might sound cliché to say, “Jesus is always with you,” but real talk: he is. He’s your advocate, always interceding for you, even when you feel like you have to fend for yourself.…

Sex. Just reading that word can make us squirm a little. It can bring up different thoughts and emotions—from curiosity and excitement to discomfort or even shame. But God's intention for sex was good and purposeful. How could his perspective strengthen your relationships?Door John Alexander

The story of Daniel in the Bible reminds us that, even in uncertain times, we’re not alone—God is ultimately in control. Our role is to live thoughtfully and peacefully in every season, trusting that we’re part of something far greater than we could ever know.Door Jason Strand

"Daniel in the Lions' Den." Sure, it's a Sunday School classic, but it's not just a good story from your childhood. We all face lions' den moments in life—ones that test our faith and character. Are you confident that God is with you even in your darkest days?Door Jason Strand

Two kings at their peak. Their empires? Unstoppable. Their confidence? Unshakeable. But it all came crashing down. Why? One simple word: pride. Sounds like a story, but it’s straight from the Bible—and it speaks to us now as much as it did then.Door John Alexander

You're battling anxiety. Your relationships are a wreck. You're feeling the pressure of life closing in. You're in the fire…and you're not fireproof. Daniel and his friends faced the fire, too. Their secret? Full trust in God—even if he didn't show up the way they hoped.Door Jason Strand

This one's for anyone who's felt like the odd one out—who's been pressured to compromise beliefs and become more like the world and people around you. The book of Daniel, chapter 1, lets us know: When the world says, "Bend," you can say, "I'm built to stand."Door Ryan Leak

You’re not here by accident. You’ve got a unique purpose only you can fulfill. The question isn’t if you'll make a difference, but how?Door Jason Strand

You might think you've got this whole 'life' thing under control. You’re strong, capable, and resilient—but carrying the weight of your whole life? No one person is that strong. So lean into a God who is.Door Jason Strand

Starting the Bible from page one? It doesn't take long before you're buried in lists, genealogies, and Old Testament rules…BORING. But you know spending time in God's word is important. So, where to start? Start with this message—we’ll help you out.Door Jason Strand

If the Bible feels intimidating, confusing, and, well...boring—you're not alone. But with the right tools and some quality time, watch the Bible come to life, offering wisdom, guidance, and truth in a way nothing else can.Door John Alexander

Struggles—we've all got 'em. And as much as we want to avoid them, maybe they aren't all bad. There can be joy even in the toughest times, strength built through pain, and hope discovered when God meets us in the mess.Door Guest Speaker Megan Fate Marshman

Feeling stuck? Life can throw some curveballs—sometimes it's hard to know what to do next. So, when you can't rewind but fear is keeping you from moving forward, it's time to choose: sit back and let life pass you by or go all in and let God do a new thing.Door Guest Speaker Bob Merritt

When someone says "I promise," what's your response? Maybe you believe it…or maybe you know better. How have broken promises impacted your faith? God promises to hear you when you pray—and truly trusting that could make all the difference.Door Guest Speaker Adam Weber

Who are you, really? Not just your name, age, or what you do. Who are you at your core—and how do you discover that? It takes God's truth to answer this question with confidence and conviction. Everything changes when you discover your true identity in who he says you are.Door Guest Speaker Jon Weece

For most of us, there's a bit of a gap between our intentions and our actions. You want to stop eating sugar...but then a coworker brings donuts. The same goes for living out our faith. You want to love your neighbor...but people can be frustrating. So, what's standing in the way of living out your faith—and what if you truly lived what you believe…

If you plant an apple tree in your backyard, it won't grow in your front yard instead. Trees bloom where they're planted. Same goes for life. The seeds you plant with your time and energy will ultimately be the ones to grow over time. Question is…are you putting your energy in the places God has for you?…

When it comes to life's tough stuff, you have a choice. No, you can't choose the burdens you'll carry, but you can choose to help others carry theirs.Door Jason Strand

Imagine this: joy that isn’t tied to your circumstances, love that's deep and real, peace that surpasses all understanding. If that sounds too good to be true, it’s because it is—at least on your own. But with the Holy Spirit guiding your life, true transformation becomes a reality.Door John Alexander

This Eagle Brook Church message is a sermon by Jason Strand.

Maybe church for you has been all about dos, don’ts, consequences, and fear—far from anything you'd call "free." But hear this: it’s not meant to be that way. There is true freedom to be found in a relationship with Jesus.Door Ted Cunningham

Every parent knows that handing over the car keys for the first time is a significant (and nerve-wracking) milestone. Because it's true: the driver decides the destination—and the path taken to get there. So, who's in the driver’s seat of your life? Loosening your grip on the wheel can lead to more freedom than you think.…

There’s a time and place to push back and fight for what you think is right. But figuring that out can be tricky. Take Jesus, for example. He leaned in and pushed back on important things because some things are worth fighting for—but not everything. So, how do you prioritize your pushback? If you push back on everything, you lessen your influence …

Seeking approval from others can feel satisfying, but what if it doesn't align with your true self? Besides, whose opinion truly matters in the end—others' or God's? The real question to ponder is: Whose approval shapes the way you live your life?Door Jason Strand

Doubts can plague my every step, whispering inadequacy and unworthiness. Will I ever measure up? Insecurity grips me, leaving me feeling small and insignificant. Yet, in the uncertainty, I find acceptance and belonging in Jesus, who sees beyond my flaws, and offers unconditional love and purpose.Door John Alexander

On Easter, we celebrate that the stone has been rolled away, the tomb is empty, and Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. But the question is: Why? Why did God allow his son Jesus Christ to die a brutal death on the cross? What difference does Easter make?Door Jason Strand

Healthy people don’t visit a doctor; sick people do. That’s why waiting rooms are full of sick and messy people who need help. Jesus made it clear: He came for sick people. That’s why churches are also full of sick and messy people who need help. Let’s embrace the mess.Door Ted Cunningham

Ever feel stuck? Easy to get stuck in the same habits, relationships, or even the past. Jesus often sought out people who seemed stuck, and then offered them a way forward. What if God wants you to watch for opportunities to reach people who need to be unstuck?Door Guest Speaker Bob Merritt

Every store has an “as-is” section. Items with a flaw, so you buy them “as-is.” People seem to carry an “as-is” label as well – a defect, weakness, or shortcoming. But what if you didn’t have to accept your fate? What if Jesus could help? Maybe a better question: What if God wants you to remove obstacles to get yourself or those you love to Jesus?…

The pursuit of beauty is a multi-billion-dollar industry. Makeup, diets, workouts, fashion, skincare—you get the picture. And no matter how hard we try (or how much we spend), that kind of beauty is only skin-deep…and inevitably fades. So, what is true beauty, and how should we pursue it?Door Ryan Leak

Maybe you think you've done too much, that there's no turning back from the path and people you've chosen to follow. But not only are you NOT too far gone for God—God is actively pursuing you. He knows your name, and he is ready to breathe new life into your story.Door Jason Strand

You've been given one life. And you're wired to want to make a difference with it. But with all of the issues in our world—homelessness, food insecurity, mental health, wars, relief efforts, addiction, and more—it can feel easiest to opt out of making an impact. Don't lose hope. As long as you’ve got breath in your lungs, you can make a difference.…

Today's world and the culture we live in can be complicated. How do you engage with it in a healthy way without being caught up in it? We're convinced that God's plan for you is far better than what society has to offer—but it might require a shift in your priorities.Door Jason Strand

We all have things from our past that negatively affect our future—that's just life. And when some of those things were decisions made by family members before us, it can feel impossible to break free. But the choices you make now can start to undo those generational cycles and move your family toward a healthier future.…

Marriage is amazing. And fun. And...really tough. That's all true. But over time, things can start to get a little more tough and a little less lovely. It's possible to build a marriage that lasts (and is fun!) no matter how long you've been together.Door Ted Cunningham

If we're honest, we don't know how to manage the ever-changing influence of technology in our own lives, much less the lives of our family members. Privacy, what? Influencers, who? Harmful content…seriously? If you’re ready to take back your family from the grips of technology, godly wisdom is the name of the game.…
