Our mission is to equip leaders to SOAR in their faith, family, friendships, finances, and fitness through a community where they feel connected and valued. We recognize the Bible as the inspired Word of God and the final authority in every aspect of our lives. “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105) Eagles Nest Church is a non-denominational, multi-generational church based in North Fulton, GA. There are two primary reasons we call ourselves Eagles Nest. First, eagles are used in the Bible to represent strength, courage and leadership. Eagles are mentioned in Exodus 19:4, Deuteronomy 32:11, Job 39:27, Psalm 103:5, and Isaiah 40:31, to name a few. At Eagles Nest, we want to help you develop your leadership potential. Secondly, every eagle needs a nest. The Nest is the place where eagles are fed, encouraged, and inspired. That’s what we do. We feed you the word of God. We encourage you when times get tough, and we inspire you to do great things for God! If you’re looking for a church that will help you reach your potential, then look no further. Come visit us and get ready to soar! Contact Us: Service Times: In-person @9:00am & 11:00am or Live Online: 9:00am https://www.youtube.com/live/NaM_JzBLnSk?si=ewSddG-SfNHNgkbY Mailing Address P.O.

Coming to America (At the Movies Series)

Coming To America uses humor and heart to explore the serious issue of immigration through the lens of faith. Pastor Lee Jenkins draws parallels between Prince Akeem's journey in the movie and the biblical call to love and welcome the foreigner. The message challenges believers to prioritize their theology over politics and to treat immigrants with compassion, dignity, and love.

Verses:

Leviticus 19:33–34, Deuteronomy 8:18, Exodus 22:21, Deuteronomy 10:18–19, Zechariah 7:10, Matthew 25:35, Matthew 2:13–15, Philippians 2:6–7

Key Points/Topics Covered:

Understanding the biblical mandate to love and welcome immigrants
Drawing lessons from the movie Coming To America to highlight spiritual truths
Recognizing that all Americans are descendants of immigrants
Prioritizing theology and faith over political ideologies
