Eastview Community Church

Eastview Community Church is a congregation in Winnipeg, and this feed carries sermons first preached at its services. The pulpit rotates. The recent episodes come from several members of the church's teaching team, and each speaker gets into the text in a different way. Most of that recent run belongs to a series on the Sermon on the Mount. Kelsey, who serves on the teaching team and in worship and tech ministry, starts by asking who in the room has watched The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. Her hook is the reality-show cliché about a contestant who is there for the wrong reasons. She compares that contestant to religious leaders in Jesus' time who did godly things to raise their own standing. Arisnel Mezido, who normally helps teach grades one to four kids in Kidstown, asks the room to answer three questions silently first. Why are oaths sometimes required? Would people who know you avoid crossing you, because you always retaliate? And would you stop to help an enemy stuck in the snow? Another speaker, who is not named in the excerpt, remembers being three years old and driving a Hot Wheels car along the ivory keys of a family piano. The piano had belonged to a grandmother the speaker never met, and the car chipped the keys. Andrea preaches at a Fusion service with children in the room. She asks the kids to imagine a warm day, a blanket in the shade and a quiet crowd, and then asks who they think is speaking. The feed also has an Ephesians series from 2025, taken one chapter at a time. The chapter 1 service is also a handover: former lead pastor John Neufeld preached, and the service then moved into commissioning Johnny Dodsworth as Eastview's new lead pastor. The Jesus Revolution series adds a different format. In a supplementary Q + R conversation, Steve and Johnny go through questions that came in after the first Sunday teaching and were not answered then. The talk ranges from how a church leader spends time away from church to how a manager should value the people at the bottom of an org chart. On that second point, Paul's words in 1 Corinthians about spiritual gifts are treated as a church principle that has parallels in the workplace. The same conversation previews later topics in the series, including science, freedom and progress. One of the two names Bill Nye as a childhood hero before teaching on science. Throughout, the tone is warm and conversational, with jokes aimed at the room and an aside to the piano players in it. Episode introductions say that full services can be watched on YouTube and that older parts of the archive include interviews with special guests. A good first listen is the Sermon on the Mount run, which shows the range of voices on the teaching team. The Q + R episode shows how the church keeps talking about its teaching after the service ends.
