Code Red - Kyle Eastman 08/16/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'Code Red'. Kyle, reading from Acts 6 and 7, shares how Stephen confronted the leaders of the time that they were not listening to the Holy Spirit. They were acting like the leaders of the past. It wasn't that they couldn't hear, but did not want to. Kyle asks: Do you resist the Holy Spirit when you are being called to serve and meet the needs of others besides yourself? His challenge: What do you want to do for God?

Whiplash - Kyle Eastman 07/26/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'Whiplash'. Reading from Acts 4, Kyle shares how most of the first century disciples were generous with their possessions, however some only pretended because Satan had filled their hearts. The greater sin was what was behind their actions. Kyle's reminds us to be on guard against this type of pride in our hearts. That pride is always competitive and often disguises itself as virtue. That often pride comes from comparison and an insecurity that is rooted in pride.

The Crisis of Disillusionment - Kyle Eastman 07/12/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'The Crisis of Disillusionment'. Kyle explores the thoughts and feelings of disappointment that occurs when you discover that something (like the church) or someone (like your spouse or close friend) are not as good, true, or valuable as you had previously believed. Reading in the book of Acts, we see how the early church and its disciples had times like this. We can or will go through times like this now. Kyle's challenge: Once we are past the 'naive idealism' part of our Christian walk, we have to be on guard against 'cynical detachment' and find the 'faith filled realism' of a mature disciple.

Mishpat: Restorative Justice - Kyle Eastman 06/28/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares a short lesson on 'Mishpat' and outlines how the church and each of us can serve those of need. Kyle, reading from Acts 2, reminds us how the early disciples 'gave to everyone who had need' and we must strive to do this as well. We see that the Old Testament word 'Mishpat', is more than charity. It is failing to care for the vulnerable and is a breakdown of justice. Our mission includes helping what is called the 'quartet of the vulnerable', widows, foreigners, orphans, and the poor.

Digital Identity - Kyle Eastman 05/31/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman brings us the lesson titled 'Digital Identity'. Kyle shares scriptures from the books of Galatians, Timothy, and Proverbs. Kyle asks: How is our identity and new reality being formed by our interactions with others through social media and social interactions? How much do we focus ourselves on what others post about their views? Are we focusing on messages and echo chambers where the only things we hear are views which simply confirm our own biases? Kyle reminds us that true Christian thinking is communal not isolated. While communal thinking can create friction, it also is diverse, and is humble. Your primary identity will shape the way you think about everything else in life. Through the lens of Jesus, is where everything should be viewed before convictions are formed. We must always remember: The ground is level at the foot of the cross.

The Abolition of Thought - Kyle Eastman 05/24/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'The Abolition of Thought'. Beginning with a reading from 2 Chronicles 18: vs 1 through 27, Kyle discusses how we must be intentional in how we are formed as a disciple. He challenges us to think about how we are interacting with social media. Kyle reminds us that social media needs outrage to thrive. Like King Ahab who looked for someone agree with him, social media can be used in the same way where we use it to confirm how we feel or think. His challenge: For us to be disciples of Jesus, we must be careful with our thinking, taking captive of every thought. We should not be quick or hasty with our words or judgments, but have deliberated restraint, exercise patient examination, and humble curiosity.

This Is Water - Kyle Eastman 05/17/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'This Is Water'. Kyle reading from Romans 12 shares how we are called not to conform to the world but to be transformed by God. How just like fish only know the water they live in, we too can be blind to our environment and the effects of it. Kyle teaches us how our relationship with information on the internet has changed us like nothing before. How we must be on guard against the patterns of this world that can lead us away from others, and away from God.

Eye of the Beholder - Kyle Eastman 03/22/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'Eye of the Beholder, What Are You Worth?' Reading from Ephesians 2, we see the why 'God made us alive in Christ', because of his great love for us. A love without prior conditions, but with the expectation we will respond with reciprocated love. We are attractive because God loves us. Kyle's challenge: What lies do you believe that have shaped your self-worth? And how has that impacted your life? The conclusion: Only God's opinion matters, not the opinion of the world around us.

Wells & Fences - Kyle Eastman 03/15/26

This week in the Detroit Church of Christ, Kyle Eastman shares the lesson 'Wells & Fences'. Reading from the book of Mark, Kyle talks about how the Pharisees made laws and traditions like ceremonial washing. They didn't care about the person's heart, but that is all God cares about. These can be 'fences' that will point people away from God. His challenge: For us to look at our rules and traditions or 'fences' of thinking. How we must be more accepting of others as we see the direction they are going. To share God's love unconditionally (like the wells of the desert shepherds) in order to draw people closer to God through a message of love and mercy.
