 Seeking To Excel --Steve Klein (JAN 7, 2024)
   

God deserves excellence from those who serve Him. It is both our privilege and obligation to seek to excel to the glory of God. This year at Eastside we are seeking to excel in worship, edification, works, faith, righteousness, in our daily walk, and in our love for God and one another. The intention of our theme is to draw us away from complacency and self-satisfaction, and to draw us toward humility, fervency, self-examination, diligence, and excellence.
