A lot of Christians get nervous about this topic of heavenly rewards. They are confused about the importance of living a life of faithful obedience to God in this life. They mistakenly claim, “My good works mean nothing to God.” It’s true that we are saved by grace apart from works. We can’t earn salvation. We can’t work and earn eternal life and h…

Loving one another as Christ loved us will prove to the world that we are his disciples.By Tunde Obasola

Through the years, when someone loses a loved one, one of the most asked questions I get when I’m helping a family prepare for a funeral and helping them process their grief and pray with them, is this very question: “Will We Know One Another In Heaven?” Underneath this question are several others, like: “Will I still be me in heaven? Will I still …

Anatomy Of An Offense - Pastor Josh Pate by Eastgate ChurchBy Eastgate Church

By Pete Carter

Do you ever give any thought to what heaven is like? People who have faced death, either personally or among their friends and family, tend to think more about what heaven might be like. What’s heaven like for the believer when they die? How can we face death and eternity with confident knowledge and expectation of heaven? In the apostle Paul’s sec…

Growing Pains - Pastor Josh Pate by Eastgate ChurchBy Eastgate Church

The word of God tells us that there are sleeping Christians and awake ones. Which type are you? Dave Foggon explains how being filled with the joy of your salvation is key to living “awake” and also the most powerful weapon for the salvation of others. God is waking up His bride!By Are You Awake?

Many Christians today seem to doubt and know nothing of heaven. What do you know about heaven? What do you believe about it? Are you focused on heaven? Do you have questions like: “Do Christians immediately go to heaven when they die?”“What kind of body will we have in heaven?” “What about hell?” “What about the near death experiences people have r…

That's Why I Trust Him - Pastor Jeremy Brown by Eastgate ChurchBy Eastgate Church

Imagine yourself on a path. That path is the collection of the choices you are making right now about what is important in life, what is the priority in how to spend your time, your energy, your thoughts, your desires, your essence. Not how do you want to spend all that. But how are you actually spending it? Now, look down that path. Where is it le…

Easter 2024 by Eastgate ChurchBy Eastgate Church

Of all the symbols that Christians might have chosen as an emblem of the faith, why the cross? The answer is that the cross points to Christ’s death as payment for our sins and the fact that the cross is empty points to Christ’s resurrection as the power that gives us new life in Him. The empty cross points to the empty tomb! In the apostle Paul’s …

The Evidence Is In by Eastgate ChurchBy Eastgate Church

Jesus instructs us to make disciples and teach them to obey all he commanded. Understanding obedience to Jesus is key to making disciples whose lives will have a foundation on the rock, not on the sand.By Pete Carter

Although Christ entered Jerusalem on a Sunday to adoring crowds waving palm branches and shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” (Matt. 21:9), Christ exited Jerusalem on a Friday to an angry crowd shaking their fists and yelling, “Crucify him!” The crowds in Jerusalem were divided in their response to Jesus. They had different views of Jesus and t…

Have you ever experienced a break in a relationship? A broken relationship is often one of the most painful things we ever experience. And reconciliation?

He's There - Pastor Josh Pate by Eastgate ChurchBy Eastgate Church

By Steph Cox

Do you see the need for Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross for your sins? Do you understand its significance? Do you believe that people are separated from God in this world, struggling with sin, addiction, and death without God’s intervention? Do you believe that people who die separated from God will spend eternity without Him in a place cal…

What are you facing today? It seems easy to keep the faith when life is good, when all your prayers are being answered, and everything is coming up roses. But how do we keep trusting God when life gets hard? When our prayers seem to go unanswered? When our worst fears seem to be coming true? How can we keep trusting the Lord anyway? In Habakkuk 3:1…

Let's Go - Pastor Josh Pate by Eastgate ChurchBy Eastgate Church

Is That Processed? - Pastor Jeremy Brown by Eastgate ChurchBy Eastgate Church

The last testament of a dying man always carries a lot of weight. Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed for the birth of the church (made up of Jewish and Non-Jewish believers) but even more importantly for the unity of the church. Jesus was praying to the Father for the same level of unity that exists in the Godhead for us, His disciples. For th…
