Stay Rooted: Colossians 2

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 02 Jan 2022 23:00:00 -0600

Stay Rooted in your faith Mont Belvieu! Paul asks the Colossians to continue living their lives in Jesus. This is a challenge for today's church as much as it was for them. When thinking about a brand new year, what do you want for your life? Do you want to have a closer relationship with Jesus? What are you willing to do to get that? God shows us throughout scripture that he always stands with open arms waiting on the arrival of the sinner who repents. Are you willing to come back to him?

In Matthew's gospel, Jesus talks about building a foundation on the sand or the rock. One foundation is firm while the other is easily swept away to sea. Jesus said the rains will come either way, but you have to pick a foundation for your life.

Rest

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 10:00:00 -0600

This week at the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX, John Gunter talks about the importance of getting rest and viewing the Sabbath the way Jesus viewed it. We are all probably way too busy. The culture in the United States is one of working hard all the time. This shows up in the average hours per year we work compared to other countries. It also shows up in just how few vacation days we normally get, and how we often do not take all of the days we are given. John challenges the church to give some time back to God in an unapologetic time of rest, while thanking God for his gift, and relinquishing our perceived control on our lives.

Rest: Part 2

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 16:56:37 -0600

In this sermon at the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX, John Gunter talks about the relationship between work/rest, and how we must be intentional about getting the rest we need. For the second week, we talk about Jesus' interaction with the Pharisees concerning what could/could not be done on the Sabbath, and how Jesus reminded the Pharisees of when David ate the consecrated bread meant only for priests. This lesson is important for us to understand the importance of rest, and also it is important to help us understand how to interpret the Bible more faithfully.

Rest: Part 3

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Mon, 07 Feb 2022 09:17:31 -0600

This is a sermon from the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX. John Gunter finishes his 3-part series on #Rest , by talking about having healthy rhythms in our Christian lives. Sabbath was part of the rhythm given by God to the Israelite people, and rest should be incorporated into our lives, so we might have more time given to God and away from the distractions coming at us every day.

Jesus Was Tempted Too

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 07:45:00 -0600

From the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX. John Gunter talks about Hebrews 4:14-16 where we read how Jesus was also tempted, and because of his temptation, he can empathize with us as we are tempted. Sometimes it may not feel like Jesus struggled in life like we do. Many people feel so down about their sins, they can feel like isolated failures. This should not be the case. Scripture talks about how we all sin and fall short of what God desires for us. However, scripture tells us this does not put an end to us. Jesus knows what it is like to live life on earth and to be tempted. Hopefully, this sermon helps our view of who God is and how he sees us.

Boasting in God

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 13:28:11 -0600

From the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX. John Gunter follows up the "confidence" sermon from last week with a sermon on boasting from Romans 5:1-11. Many of us may feel confidence or boasting are both bad words for Christians, but scripture does not see it this way. John talks about what it means to have a healthy confidence or boasting in God. He also talks about how many people have grown up with the exact opposite feeling concerning their salvation. Instead of boasting or confidence, many experience anxiety, isolation, inadequacy and a sense of doubt about whether they will be saved. What does scripture say about these things?

1 John Contradictions

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 20:38:07 -0600

From the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX. John Gunter takes us into the book of 1 John, where the writer seemingly contradicts himself about Christians sinning. The last two sermons have been about having confidence in salvation. Does 1 John undo all of that? Gunter says there is a key to understanding the writer's argument. Join us for this sermon, and we hope this helps you live closer to Jesus each and every day.

1 John Part II

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 13:35:08 -0600

From the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX. This week we look at the second part of 1 John, with the hope that we better understand how the writer can seemingly contradict himself. John Gunter explains what the writer is addressing and how the book should affect the Christian. The writer has something particular in mind when talking about sin that leads to death. If we read on a surface level, we may at times think that the writer is saying no Christian sins, but when taken as a whole, the book reveals something else.

From the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX. John Gunter preaches on the topic of baptism and tries to answer some common misconceptions about what baptism means or what it does.

Baptism Part II: Baptism & Grace

From the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu, TX. John Gunter talks about baptism and its relationship to the grace of God poured out for each of us. Often we may have such a thin, legalistic view of baptism that it loses the meaning we find in scripture. John opens the scriptures to show us how our wording matters, and without the gift of God's grace, nothing matters. Join us in this teaching, and we pray that we all grow closer to God through the reading of his word.

Marks of a True Disciple: Hope that Holds

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 20:47:58 -0500

Hope is more than a feeling. It is the steady anchor of a disciple’s life, grounded in the promises of God and secured by the resurrection of Jesus. In this message, John Gunter explores what it means to live with a hope that sustains and strengthens, especially in times of uncertainty and pain.

With passages like Hebrews 6:19, 1 Peter 1:3–6, Lamentations 3:21–24, and Romans 15:13, this sermon invites listeners to anchor their lives not in outcomes, but in the unchanging character of God.

Discipleship is not sustained by sheer willpower. It is sustained by hope that holds.

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 22:28:46 -0500

Preparing Our Words and Attitude (James 3) – Prepared Series, Week 4

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 19:19:44 -0500

What we say is not just about communication. It is about preparation.

In this fourth message from the Prepared series, John Gunter teaches from James 3 about the power of the tongue. Our speech reveals our heart. It builds or breaks relationships. It gives life or causes damage. Prepared believers do not wait for the heat of the moment to decide how to respond. They pray, pause, and speak with grace.

Small words can cause great harm or deep healing
Prepared faith speaks from a heart full of grace, not reaction
Delayed words can protect relationships. Reckless words can destroy them

Preparing to Submit to God (James 4) – Prepared Series, Week 5

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 17:00:42 -0600

Most arguments are not just about what someone said. They are rooted in what we want.

In this message from James 4, John Gunter explains how submission is a spiritual posture that prepares us for obedience, peace, and humility. When we fail to prepare our hearts, we react in pride, blame others, and miss the opportunity to reflect Christ. This message is a call to submit early so that we are not left scrambling when the pressure comes.

Key Takeaways:

Conflict is often the result of unmet desires and pride
Submission to God brings peace, clarity, and spiritual authority
You cannot resist the enemy if you are not standing under the authority of God

Prayer is not a reaction. It is preparation.

In this final message of the Prepared series, John Gunter teaches from James 5 about how prayer and perseverance go hand in hand. We are called to bring every situation to God whether it is suffering, celebration, sickness, or sin.

In this first message of the Made to Serve series, John Gunter preaches from Philippians 1 and 2, calling the church to unity, humility, and Christlike service.

Unity is not about agreeing on everything. It is about agreeing on the most important thing
Humility lifts others up instead of lifting yourself up
A gospel-shaped life reflects Jesus in relationships, service, and sacrifice

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 21:25:25 -0600

When Jesus had every right to demand, He chose to kneel and serve.

In this closing message of the Made to Serve series, John Gunter teaches from John 13, reminding us that a gospel-shaped life looks like a towel and a basin, not a title and a throne. If you want to reflect Jesus, you do not wait to be asked. You simply serve where you are. This message calls the church to return to the example of our Lord, who made humility the mark of greatness.

Key Takeaways:

Serving others is not beneath us. It is the heart of Christ
Humility is not thinking less of yourself. It is thinking of yourself less
We each have a place to serve. Start where you are and watch what God does

Joy the World Cannot Take

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 21:06:58 -0600

In this encouraging Christmas-season message, John Gunter invites us to reflect on what truly brings joy. From John 15 and Romans 8 to Isaiah 35, we are reminded that joy is not the absence of sorrow. It is the presence of Christ.

Enduring joy is found in walking closely with Christ

God did not stay distant from a broken world. He entered it.

In this Christmas message, John Gunter takes us through Scripture to show that love is not abstract or selective. God’s love is active, consistent, and always draws near. From John 3:16 to Luke 2 and Romans 5, we are reminded that while we were still sinners, Christ came for us. And if He came that far for us, how can we not extend that same love to others?

Key Takeaways:

Love does not begin with us. It begins with God
Real love is not earned. It is given
Jesus came for the broken, the poor, and the overlooked
The church should lead the world in loving others, even when we do not agree

Not Alone (Week 3) – Strength Where We Are Weak

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 20:59:37 -0600

You were never asked to be strong enough. You were asked to trust the One who is.

In this third message in the Not Alone series, John Gunter teaches what it means to live with the Spirit of God. We are not called to control everything or act like we have all the answers. Instead, we are invited to lean fully into God's presence, admit our need, and allow His Spirit to intercede when we are weak, tired, or unsure what to pray.

Key Themes:

The Spirit prays for us when we cannot find the words (Romans 8)
God's power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12)
Even youths grow weary, but those who wait on the Lord renew their strength (Isaiah 40)

In this Week 4 message from the Not Alone series, John Gunter delivers a timely reminder from his office during a winter storm. Drawing from passages like John 14, Romans 8, and Psalm 46, this sermon encourages listeners to trust in the presence of God when things feel uncertain, disconnected, or overwhelming.

Not Alone (Week 5) – Changed From the Inside

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 21:36:40 -0600

You were never expected to change by your own strength. God takes responsibility for the transformation.

In this week’s message, John Gunter reminds us that God promised to remove hearts of stone and give hearts of flesh. This is not a demand to perform. It is an invitation to surrender. Whether from Ezekiel or Psalm 51, Scripture shows that change starts when we step aside and allow God to do what only He can. His Spirit lives in us. His grace covers us. And His power transforms us.

Key Themes:

Transformation is God's work, not ours
The Spirit of God lives in us and gives us freedom
Every believer is a work in progress and a new creation

Not Alone (Week 6) – Trust in Him

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 15:22:46 -0600

Faith does not require full understanding. It requires trust.

In this final sermon of the Not Alone series, John Gunter reflects on Psalm 131 and the posture of quiet, humble trust before God. Life often leaves us with unanswered questions and unresolved tension. Scripture does not promise clarity in every season, but it does promise God’s presence.

This message calls listeners to release pride, ambition, and the burden of control. Trust is not passivity. It is an active choice to place our lives in the hands of a faithful God who sees what we cannot and works in ways we do not expect.

Key Themes:

Letting go of the need to control outcomes
Learning to quiet the soul in God’s presence
Trusting God when clarity is missing
Resting in the promises of a faithful Lord

Encounters with Christ: Lives Transformed (Week 1)

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 23:56:52 -0600

Something happens when we truly encounter Jesus.

In this first sermon of the Encounters with Christ series, John Gunter explores John chapter 6 and the feeding of the crowd. The people follow Jesus because they were filled physically. Jesus calls them to something deeper. He points them beyond temporary provision and declares Himself to be the Bread of Life.

This message invites us to look honestly at our own hearts. Are we seeking Jesus for what we can receive, or are we willing to be transformed by who He is? God does not merely satisfy surface-level needs. He offers life, renewal, and eternal hope.

Key Themes:

The difference between provision and transformation
The danger of chasing temporary satisfaction
Jesus as the true Bread of Life
A call to respond personally to Christ

Encounters with Christ – When Christ Meets the Curious

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 18:49:25 -0600

Being religious is not the same as being transformed.

In this message, John Gunter explores the encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus in John chapter 3. Nicodemus represents the curious, the moral, and the spiritually serious. Yet Jesus confronts him with a truth that cuts through effort and heritage. Unless one is born from above, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

This sermon reminds us that salvation is not inherited, achieved, or reasoned into existence. It is received. God gives a new heart. The Spirit produces life. The invitation is not to control the process but to surrender to it.

Key Themes:

The difference between curiosity and transformation
The limits of religious effort
The promise of a new heart and new Spirit
Trusting God rather than trusting our own systems

Encounters with Christ – When Christ Meets the Ashamed

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 19:27:25 -0600

Shame tells you that you are unworthy. Jesus tells you to stand up and walk free.

In this message, John Gunter explores the encounter between Jesus and the woman caught in adultery. Publicly exposed and facing condemnation, she stands in the center of accusation. The religious leaders demand judgment. Jesus responds with wisdom, truth, and mercy.

This sermon addresses the weight of shame and the danger of selective judgment. While Scripture is clear about sin, it is equally clear about grace. Jesus does not ignore wrongdoing, but He refuses to weaponize it. Instead, He offers forgiveness and calls us into a transformed life.

Key Themes:

The hypocrisy of selective outrage
The difference between condemnation and conviction
The freedom found in Christ’s mercy
Living transformed instead of trapped in shame

📖 Scriptures: John 8:1–11, Romans 3:23, Psalm 130:3, Hebrews 4:15–16, Titus 2:11–12, Romans 6:1–2, 2 Corinthians 5:21

Encounters with Christ - When Christ Meets the Broken

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 21:16:55 -0500

Long suffering can wear down even the strongest faith. Jesus meets us there.

In this message, John Gunter explores the story of the woman who had been suffering for twelve years. Her condition left her isolated, exhausted, and without answers. Yet in a moment of hope and desperation, she reaches out to Jesus and experiences immediate healing.

This sermon highlights the power of faith, even when it is small. It also exposes the weight of shame and how it keeps people from stepping toward Christ. Jesus does not respond with rejection. He responds with compassion, calling her daughter and restoring both her health and her identity.

Through this encounter and the surrounding story of Jairus’ daughter, we are reminded that Jesus has power over both long suffering and even death itself.

Key Themes:

Faith does not have to be perfect to be powerful
Shame loses its power when it is brought into the light
You can be near Jesus and still miss a true encounter
God is still working even when the answer feels delayed

Encounters with Christ - When Christ Meets the Resistant

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 21:31:19 -0500

Resistance often looks like control, pride, or protecting our image. Jesus meets us there.

In this message, John Gunter walks through the story of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector who was wealthy but isolated. Though rejected by others, Zacchaeus was also holding onto a life shaped by power and gain. Yet his curiosity led him to seek Jesus, and in a moment that defied cultural expectations, Jesus called him by name and chose to stay at his house.

This encounter reveals that transformation does not begin with perfection. It begins with surrender. Zacchaeus responds not because he was forced, but because his heart was changed in the presence of Christ.

This sermon also challenges the listener to consider the posture of the crowd. While Zacchaeus moves toward Jesus, others resist through judgment and pride. The question becomes personal. Are we drawing near, or are we holding back?

Key Themes:

The danger of pride and protecting our image
Jesus seeks those others have written off
True change flows from an encounter with Christ
Grace invites surrender, not performance

Encounters with Christ - When Christ Sends the Changed

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 23:01:01 -0500

Following Jesus was never meant to stop at belief. It was always meant to move into mission.

In this closing sermon of the Encounters with Christ series, John Gunter explores what happens after people meet Jesus. Looking at John 20 and Luke 24, we find disciples hiding behind locked doors, weighed down by fear and uncertainty. We also find travelers on the road to Emmaus, disappointed that life had not gone as they had hoped.

Into both stories, Jesus comes near.

He speaks peace before they fix their fear. He walks with them before they understand what He is doing. Then He sends them out with purpose and with the gift of the Holy Spirit. This message calls us to live as people who are not just changed, but sent.

Key Themes:

Jesus meets us in fear and uncertainty
Peace comes before clarity
Disappointment does not mean God is absent
Those who encounter Jesus are sent into the world with purpose

Unexpected Outcomes - Easter 2026

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:00:47 -0500

Sometimes what feels like the end is where God begins something new.

In this Easter message, John Gunter explores the events of John chapter 20 and the first moments after the resurrection. Mary Magdalene arrives at the tomb expecting to grieve, not to celebrate. The disciples struggle to understand what they are seeing. Nothing makes sense at first.

Yet everything changes when Jesus speaks her name.

This sermon highlights how the resurrection does more than prove a moment in history. It transforms what is possible in our lives today. Because Jesus is alive, forgiveness is real, hope is alive, and change is possible. Even in moments of confusion, grief, or doubt, God is still at work.

Key Themes:

God works through unexpected outcomes
Faith is not just knowing about Jesus but knowing He knows you
The resurrection is the foundation of real hope
Because Jesus lives, change is still possible

God Revealed (Week 1) God is Holy

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 22:17:40 -0500

Everything changes when you see God for who He truly is.

In this first sermon of the God Revealed series, John Gunter walks through Isaiah chapter 6 and the overwhelming vision of God’s holiness. Surrounded by worship and glory, Isaiah is confronted with a reality that reshapes everything. God is not a better version of us. He is completely set apart.

This message highlights how easy it is to reshape God into something more comfortable or manageable. Yet when we truly see His holiness, comparison disappears and clarity takes its place. We begin to understand our own need for grace.

The good news is that God does not reveal sin to destroy us. He reveals it so He can cleanse us. As Isaiah confesses his unworthiness, God responds with forgiveness and restoration. That same invitation stands today.

Key Themes:

God is completely holy and set apart
Seeing God clearly changes how we see ourselves
Sin cannot be minimized in the presence of holiness
God provides cleansing where there is confession
True understanding of God leads to a transformed life

📖 Scriptures: Isaiah 6:1–8, 1 John 1:5, Luke 5:8, 1 John 1:9, Romans 12:1, Leviticus 19:2

God Revealed (Week 2) God is Just

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 22:30:20 -0500

We all want justice. Until it applies to us.

In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by exploring what it means for God to be just. Scripture makes it clear that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. That reality creates a tension. If God is truly just, sin must be addressed. It cannot be ignored or minimized.

This sermon walks through Romans chapter 3 to show how God resolves that tension. Through Jesus, God remains just while also justifying those who place their faith in Him. The cross is not a dismissal of sin. It is the full payment for it.

This message calls us to move beyond comparison and excuses. Instead of measuring ourselves against others, we are invited to trust in God’s grace, take sin seriously, and live transformed lives grounded in faith.

Key Themes:

All people share the same condition of sin
God’s justice requires that sin be dealt with
Grace is a gift, not something we earn
Faith is trust that leads to transformation
The cross is where justice and mercy meet

God Revealed (Week 3) God is Merciful

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 22:18:03 -0500

God does not give us what we deserve. He gives us mercy.

In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by exploring the mercy of God. While we often think in terms of fairness and what we deserve, Scripture reveals something greater. God is merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and full of steadfast love.

Through passages like Exodus 34 and the story of the prodigal son, we see a God who does not wait for perfection. He runs toward those who turn back to Him. He restores what was broken and offers forgiveness that is not earned.

This sermon also reminds us that God’s mercy is not a one time act. His mercies are new every morning. Because of Jesus, we can approach God with confidence, knowing He understands our struggles and meets us with grace.

Key Themes:

God’s mercy flows from His character, not our performance
We often want justice for others and mercy for ourselves
The prodigal son reveals the heart of God toward sinners
Mercy is renewed daily, not limited by our failures
True response to mercy is a transformed life

📖 Scriptures: Exodus 34:6–7, Psalm 103:8, Luke 15:11–24, Lamentations 3:22–23, Hebrews 4:15–16, Titus 3:4–7

God Revealed (Week 4) God is Faithful

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 03 May 2026 18:41:58 -0500

God does not change, even when everything else does.

In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by focusing on the faithfulness of God. Through Lamentations chapter 3, we are reminded that faith is not built on circumstances. It is built on who God is.

Even in moments of deep pain, loss, and uncertainty, the writer chooses to remember. God’s love never ceases. His mercies are new every morning. His faithfulness remains steady.

This sermon challenges us to shift from reacting to our situation to remembering God’s character. While people fail and plans fall apart, God does not lie, does not change, and does not abandon His people. Even when we are weak or inconsistent, He remains faithful.

Key Themes:

Faith is choosing to remember who God is
God’s faithfulness is not based on our circumstances
We often project our inconsistency onto God
God remains faithful even when we struggle
Trusting God brings stability in unstable seasons

God Revealed (Week 5) God is Patient

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Sun, 10 May 2026 22:47:15 -0500

God’s delay is not weakness. It is mercy.

In this message, John Gunter continues the God Revealed series by focusing on the patience of God. Many people ask why evil continues, why sin seems unchecked, or why judgment has not yet come. Scripture gives a surprising answer. God is patient.

Through 2 Peter chapter 3, this sermon explains that God’s patience is intentional. He is not ignoring sin, nor is He slow to act. Instead, He is giving people time to repent and return to Him. The delay of consequences is not proof that everything is okay. It is evidence of God’s mercy and kindness.

This message also warns about the danger of presuming on God’s patience. We often convince ourselves there will always be more time. Yet Scripture reminds us that life moves quickly, judgment is real, and God’s patience is meant to lead us toward transformation now, not later.

Key Themes:

God’s patience flows from His desire for repentance
Delayed judgment does not mean sin is ignored
Mercy removes judgment while patience delays it
Assuming we always have more time is spiritually dangerous
God’s kindness is meant to draw us back to Him

📖 Scriptures: 2 Peter 3:9–10, Romans 2:4, Ecclesiastes 8:11, Hebrews 9:27, Genesis 6

Faith That Holds in Babylon | Senior Sunday 2026

Eagle Community Church of Christ — Mon, 18 May 2026 21:06:48 -0500

Culture will always try to tell you who you are. Faith reminds you who you belong to.

In this Senior Sunday message, John Gunter explores Daniel chapter 1 and the story of a young man taken from everything familiar and placed into a culture determined to reshape him. Babylon changed Daniel’s environment, education, language, and even his name. Yet Daniel refused to let Babylon define his identity.

This sermon speaks powerfully to graduates stepping into independence and transition, but it also reaches every believer navigating pressure from culture, work, relationships, and everyday life. Faith cannot remain something borrowed from parents, family, or routine. At some point, it must become personal.

Through Daniel’s example, this message reminds us that spiritual drift rarely happens all at once. It often begins with small compromises and gradual distance from the things that keep us anchored in God. But when identity is rooted in Christ before the storm comes, faith can remain steady even in difficult environments.

Key Themes:

Culture constantly pressures us to change identity
Faith must become personal to survive transition
Small compromises often lead to spiritual drift
Christian community helps anchor us in difficult seasons
God remains faithful even in unfamiliar places
