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.

Trading Places (At the Movies Series)

Trading Places explores the biblical and cultural implications of wealth, poverty, and character through the lens of the classic Eddie Murphy film. Pastor Lee Jenkins draws parallels between the movie and Jesus' story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16, challenging listeners to evaluate their compassion, generosity, and spiritual priorities. The message emphasizes that God sees both the powerful and the powerless, and that true transformation comes from aligning our hearts with His justice and mercy.

Luke 16:19–31, Deuteronomy 8:18

Key Points/Topics Covered:

Wealth and poverty reveal character when circumstances change
