Title: The Assignment Passage: Mark 7:36-50 Series: Grow Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: September 13th, 2026 Five years in, it’s worth asking a simple question: What is this all about? Why does Eastpoint exist, and what has Jesus actually called us to do? This Sunday, we’ll watch an unexpected encounter unfold around a dinner table, where a Pharisee, a woman with a reputation, and Jesus reveal something powerful about the heart of His mission. As we celebrate what God has done, we’ll also look ahead and remember the assignment He’s given us.

Title: How Do I Pray? Passage: Psalm 130 Series: Grow Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: September 6, 2026 Have you ever wondered if you’re praying the “right” way, or struggled to know what to say at all? Prayer can easily become something we overcomplicate, neglect, or reduce to a list of requests. But God invites us into something much deeper. This Sunday, we’ll look at Psalm 130 and discover a way of praying that goes beyond saying the right words and teaches us how to bring our whole selves into the presence of God.

Title: Who Do You Look Like? Passage: 1 Peter 1:13-16, 2:9 Series: Grow Speaker: Daniel Fuoco Date: August 30th, 2026 Who do you look like? Belonging to God is more than a statement of faith; it’s a way of life. As God transforms us from the inside out, our lives become a reflection of who He is and an invitation for others to know Him.

Title: The Gift of Growth Passage: Ephesians 4:7-16 Series: Grow Speaker: Ronnie Cannon Date: August 23rd, 2026 What happens when you show up? Not just physically, but when you step in, serve, encourage, teach, give, or simply use what God has entrusted to you? In Ephesians 4, Paul paints a compelling picture of a church where every believer matters and where God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways to help one another grow. This Sunday, we’ll consider why your presence in the body of Christ matters more than you might think—and why the church is better when you show up with what God has given you.

Title: Wish You Were Here Passage: Acts 2:42-47 Series: Grow Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: August 16th 2026 We all want to belong somewhere. To be known. To be loved. To have people who notice when we’re missing and make room when we arrive. It’s one of the deepest longings we carry, and yet genuine belonging can feel increasingly difficult to find. What if this longing isn’t accidental? What if we were actually made for something more than simply going through life on our own? This week, we’ll look at a beautiful picture from the earliest days of the Church and discover an invitation that still extends to us today: Wish you were here.

Title: Take One, Pass It Down Passage: Joshua 5:1-9 Series: Grow Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: August 9th, 2026 Every one of us is passing something on. Whether it's faith, values, habits, or hurts, our lives leave a legacy in those who come behind us. That can feel exciting... but it can also feel overwhelming. This Sunday, we'll look at Joshua 5 and discover why our hope has never rested on our ability to get it all right and why the next generation is never without hope.

Title: The Choice Before the Choice Passage: Psalm 119:105-112 Series: CXIX - Lighting the Way Speaker: Greg St. Cyr Date: August 2nd, 2026 Each of us stands at a crossroads, wondering which step to take next. In a world full of options and the constant temptation to compromise, it’s easy to feel unsure of the path ahead. Together, we’ll uncover how God's Word lights every step of our path, and we'll look at three practical ways to let His truth guide our daily decisions.

Title: When Mercy Goes Missing Passage: Psalm 119:97-104 Series: CXIX - Lighting the Way Speaker: Brandon Cobb Date: July 26th, 2026 What happens when we lose sight of God's mercy? Our hearts slowly drift toward self-reliance, pride, and spiritual complacency. In Psalm 119:97–104, we're reminded that true wisdom isn't found in ourselves but in a life rooted in God's Word. Join us as we discover that when God's mercy is in view, we learn to keep looking up in dependence and keep holding fast to His living Word, finding the wisdom to follow Him. As we keep our eyes on God's truth, His mercy continues to shape our hearts and transform our lives.

Title: Zoom Out Passage: Psalm 119:89-96 Series: CXIX - Lighting the Way Speaker: Daniel Fuoco Date: July 19th, 2026 The world we live in is marked by change and uncertainty, but Scripture invites us to look beyond what is temporary and see a greater reality. Psalm 119:89-96 calls us to zoom out and behold the God who spoke creation into being and continues to uphold all things through His faithful Word.

Title: Waiting Game Passage: Psalm 119:81-88 Series: CXIX - Lighting the Way Speaker: Ronnie Cannon Date: July 12th, 2026 What do you do when following God feels like it’s getting harder, not easier? This Sunday, we step into the raw, honest struggle of someone weary from waiting, worn down by opposition, and surrounded by lies—yet still clinging to God’s promises. This message explores the pain of waiting, the pressure of a hostile world, and the sustaining power of God’s steadfast love. If you’ve ever felt close to giving up, this part of the psalm will meet you there and point you to the life-giving faithfulness of God.

Title: Vantage Point Passage: Psalm 119:73-80 Series: CXIX - Lighting the Way Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: July 5th, 2026 Some truths can only be seen from places none of us would choose to visit. Psalm 119 was written from the heights of affliction, where pain gave the psalmist a perspective he couldn't have gained any other way. What he discovered changed the way he saw God, suffering, and himself. Whether you're carrying a burden today or simply want a faith that can withstand life's storms, join us this Sunday as we learn what can only be seen from the vantage point of pain.

Title: Before and After Passage: Psalm 119:65-72 Series: CXIX Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: June 28th, 2026 Have you ever looked at an old picture and thought, I’ve changed so much? We celebrate before-and-after stories of fitness, careers, and makeovers. But what about our faith? What does spiritual transformation actually look like, and how does God bring it about? Most of us want to grow, but few of us would choose the path that actually produces it. Psalm 119 gives us a rare glimpse into one person’s spiritual before and after picture, revealing not only what changed, but how it changed. Join us this Sunday as we discover God’s surprising process for forming mature faith, and why the very thing you’d rather avoid may be the tool He’s using to transform you.

Title: The Dad Directive Passage: Deuteronomy 6:1-12 Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: June 21st 2026 Most dads know the feeling. You wonder if you're spending enough time, making the right decisions, or giving your kids what they need most. This Father's Day, we'll look at God's ancient blueprint for fatherhood and discover a calling that is both simpler and more significant than many of us realize. In a world obsessed with leaving behind wealth, experiences, and opportunities, God invites fathers to pass on something that can impact generations. Join us as we uncover The Dad Directive.

Sermon Title: A Tale of Two Responses Passage: Luke 18:18-30, 19:1-10 Sermon Series: God Over Money Speaker: Aaron Hixson Date: June 14, 2026 We live in a culture obsessed with money - whether we're talking about inflation, gas prices, investment properties, or the price of eggs, money is everywhere. That's one of the reasons that it's so easy to slip into believing lies about what money is, who it belongs to, and the role it's supposed to play in our lives. In this sermon, we'll explore what Jesus had to say about money to two guys who had more than they could spend in a lifetime. Visit our website at www.fortheshore.com

Sermon Title: The Million Dollar Question Sermon Series: God Over Money Passage: Matthew 6:19-24 Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: May 24, 2026 What if the biggest danger to your soul isn’t obvious greed, but a quiet attachment to things that won’t last? We all know money can make life more comfortable. But what if money has quietly become the thing we’re living for? Most of us spend our lives chasing security, comfort, and “just a little more,” assuming that’s normal. But Jesus asks a piercing question: What are you actually investing your life in? In this sermon, we begin a new series called God Over Money by wrestling with a Million Dollar Question that cuts beneath the surface of our bank accounts and straight into the direction of our lives: What treasure are you really chasing?
