Let The Winds Blow | Pastor John Eaton | Thriving with God | 3/09/2025

Life’s challenges are like the wind—shaping us, strengthening us, and making us unique. In this powerful message, we explore how God uses trials to grow us into “Oaks of Righteousness” (Isaiah 61:3). Just as trees develop strength through wind, we, too, become stronger through life’s storms.
When difficulties come, will you turn toward the light—toward God—or will you let hardships uproot you? Learn how to stay planted by the stream of living water (Jeremiah 17:7-8) and bear the good fruit God created you to produce (Matthew 12:33).
No storm is wasted. Every challenge can bring you closer to Him. Watch now and be encouraged to stand firm, grow deeper, and thrive with God!

God's Favor | Pastor John Eaton | Thriving with God | 3/02/2025

How close are you planted to the stream of life? When you live in the desert, your needs, your desires, everything you want is different than when you live by the water. In the desert, you are just hoping to survive. Everyone and everything you see is about your survival. Hoping for a drop of rain. Hoping someone will come pour some water on you. But when you live by the stream, all is well. Even when bad storms come. Even when there is drought. All is well. By the stream, you get to produce leaves, and bear fruit. You get to sow seeds for others to grow. Life is completely different! We can claim God’s favor on our lives and our church because it is what Jesus came and did for us.

Build a Home with Him | Pastor John Eaton | Thriving with God | 2/23/2025

No matter who you are, where you’ve come from, what you’ve done, and who you’ve done it with, you belong with God in His home. But it is your choice to live with Him. Look at how God is building to know how to build your own home. If you will begin focusing on the home God is building, your life is going to be restored.

Plowing New Ground | Pastor John Eaton | Thriving with God | 2/16/2025

Have you ever messed up something in a big way and wish you could go back and do it differently?  What if today, if instead of messing up in a big way, you put your life together in a big way? What if you decided to thrive? What if you did something so great, so big, that your future you will always look back and remember this moment?  It begins with you deciding to do level with yourself and God. What is the reality of where you are? What needs to be changed?  What if you can change now? What if you started learning new things, new ways, trying new things? What if you chose to plow new ground? What if you chose to plow new ground? Instead of doing life the way you’ve always done life, do something new. Instead of looking for comfort the wrong ways, plow new ground. Do something new and different, only this time, do it right. Break up your unplowed ground and sow seed there, not among the thorns. Stop throwing your good seed into the weeds.

Fishing Matters | Pastor John Eaton | Accommodating God | 2/9/2025

“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19 NKJV). Fishing isn’t always fun, Fishing isn’t always rewarding, and Fishing isn’t always safe. Telling people about Jesus is
your way to sanity. If you don’t have FISHING FEVER, it’s because you’ve never had a good fishing day. If you aren’t bonded to other followers of Jesus, you’ve never faced
danger for being one.  Have you come to Christ, by your own choice?  Love Matters, Words Matter, Soldiering Well Matters, Commitment Matters, What is Done in Secret Matters. What if you miss out on the greatest adventure of your Christian life? The greatest quest: The search and rescue mission for the human
soul.

What's Done in Secret Matters | Pastor John Eaton | Accommodating God | 2/2/2025

What we do in secret matters to God. In this powerful message, we explore how our private actions, thoughts, and faithfulness shape our spiritual lives and determine the rewards we receive at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Through biblical examples like King David and Uriah, and Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 6, we see how God honors those who give, pray, and worship in secret. Are you living for His approval or the applause of others? Watch this message and be encouraged to cultivate a heart that seeks God in the unseen moments of life! #Faith #JudgmentSeatOfChrist #LivingForGod

Commitment Matters| Pastor John Eaton | Accommodating God | 1/26/2025

GOD IS ONLY INTERESTED IN A CLOSED RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.  Jesus is saying that based on your level of commitment to Him, you will be given reward at the Judgment
Seat of Christ. Jesus is saying that not being committed to Him can result in you going to The Great White Throne Judgment and being judged among the
hypocrites.  Can God be gentle on your mind? Only if you are committed to Him.

Soldiering Well Matters| Pastor John Eaton | Accommodating God | 1/19/2025

Whether you want to be in a spiritual war or not doesn’t matter; you are in it. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News. God uses bad things in God’s people to bring good things.  He begins with: Endurance: “Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Dedicate Yourself: Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life. Aim to Please God: Don’t do these things…for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.

Words Matter | Pastor John Eaton | Accommodating God | 1/12/2025

We will face what is called The Judgment Seat of Christ. Jesus said that the things we say will be important on the day of judgment. God isn’t going to pull your words out of context and use them against you. God isn’t interested in us becoming the word police on each other. Not only do the words you say matter, but the words you should have said and didn’t matter too.
Your silence can be just as damaging or more than being the perpetrator. Taking the words of Jesus Himself to heart is a good place to always start. Jesus said it plainly that it isn’t enough to just believe for yourself.You need to find your voice. You need to work on your story, telling others what Jesus has done for you.

Love Matters | Pastor John Eaton | Accommodating God | 01/05/2054

Have you come to Christ, by your own choice? What will matter in that moment when you stand before Him? LOVE Matters  --  Your job from now to the end of this life is to learn and practice the way of LOVE.
If God is love, then God is saying it is LOVE that we wrestle with.Love isn’t the attitude or feeling; love is the motive behind the action.
Love is doing for others what I would hope someone would do for me. Love is doing what is right, no matter how difficult it is to make the sacrifice.
Love is doing what is pleasing to someone, because THEY like it. Love is deciding to NOT do what is displeasing to someone, simply because they don’t like it.
