Description

At The Altar Fellowship, our mission is to build a community of passionate people captivated by the beauty of Jesus. As we work hard to impact our nation and our world, we recognize that we cannot have all God designed for us if we do not have community. To that end, at The Altar Fellowship, our mandate is simple: To succeed in family, and to thrive in worship. If we can do these two things well, everything else will follow.

A Revival of One

2026/10/20

Philip was in the middle of a citywide revival when God sent him down an empty desert road to sit with one man. The message from Acts 8 is that God cares less about your calling than your obedience, and that the person in front of you right now is part of the assignment. Philip’s one condition for baptism still stands: believe with all your heart, because faith is what turns a bath into a baptism. Support the show

Return to Love

2026/10/13

You can have every gift, the biggest platform, and the right credentials, and it all counts for nothing without love. Pastor Mattie preaches a message he says he needed to hear himself, walking through 1 Corinthians 13 to show that love means giving someone else preference, that it suffers long, and that it costs something. It’s the foundation under everything we build, and the only thing that never fails. Support the show

Christ and Him Crucified

2026/10/06

We don't graduate from the gospel. Pastor Mattie returns to 1 Corinthians 2 and the message that got him started in ministry, then walks through Isaiah 53 to show why Jesus is a Savior and not just an example. The man of sorrows wasn't written to make us pity Him. He was written to bring us to the foot of the cross in awe at a love that carried what we couldn't. Support the show

A Future and a Hope

2026/09/29

God said the same thing to exiles in Babylon that He's saying now: I know the plans I have for you. Pastor Mattie puts Jeremiah 29:11 back in its original context — spoken to people staring down 70 years of captivity, not a season of ease — and makes the case that God's promise of a future and a hope was never a promise of comfort. It was a promise that He sees the end of the story, even when all you can see is the pain right in front of you. Support the show

The Secret Life

2026/09/22

Proximity and intimacy are not the same thing. You can prophesy, cast out demons, build a ministry, and gain a million followers, all in Jesus' name, and still hear "I never knew you" at the end. Using Judas as the central figure, Jacob Coyne calls the church back from performative Christianity to the secret place: the hidden, unhurried prayer life that's not a strategy for ministry but a return to the first love. Support the show

A Theology For Suffering

2026/09/08

Suffering is not something we can always pray our way out of, and following Jesus does not mean we will never experience it. This message walks through what Scripture teaches about suffering, showing how God meets us in the middle of our pain and uses even the hardest seasons to shape our faith. We may not always understand why we suffer, but we can hold onto the hope that our suffering is temporary, God is with us through it, and eternal glory is coming. Support the show

Revival in Chains

2026/09/01

Paul and Silas didn't end up in prison by accident, and they didn't worship their way out of it by waiting until things got better. Pastor Mattie walks through Acts 16 to show that the most powerful moments in the kingdom happen not when we chase God encounters, but when we chase God Himself. Wherever He places you, including the places that feel like prison, is exactly where He intends to move. Support the show

The Ministry of Multiplicity

2026/08/25

Churches don't produce disciples — disciples do. Pastor Mattie builds the case from Genesis, Moses and Joshua, and the Apostle Paul that the law of multiplication isn't a strategy, it's written into the order of creation. That is, you reproduce what you are, not what you say. The calling isn't to fill a seat or build an institution… it's to find a Paul and become one. Support the show

The DNA of a Dynamic Church

2026/08/18

Titus 2 has a lot to say about what a healthy church actually looks like — and most of it starts not with programs, but with people. Pastor Mattie walks through Paul's instruction to older men, older women, younger women, and younger men, making the case that the health of a church rises and falls on whether each generation is willing to take responsibility for the one coming behind it. Support the show

Come To The Table

2026/08/11

The coming revival won't happen in stadiums. Pastor Mattie makes the case from Luke 24 that Jesus is most clearly seen not in spectacle or noise, but in the regular, simple act of sitting down to eat together… and that the dinner table may be the most revolutionary place in the Kingdom right now. Support the show

A Reintroduction

2026/08/04

Pastor Mattie returns from sabbatical with a reintroduction — his own story, from a father who broke cycles of poverty and addiction in one generation, to a college dorm where God met him mid-argument, to ten years of touring the world with a band, to a living room in Johnson City where a church was born. Seven years later, neither he nor The Altar are what they once were. This Sunday he traces the thread of God's faithfulness through each step. Support the show

The Mystery Of Divine Rest - Part 2

2026/07/28

Rest isn’t just something you do when the work is over — it IS the work. Pastor Mattie continues his series on divine rest, showing how a soul truly at rest in the finished work of Christ worships differently, works differently, and becomes something the world is desperate for: a place to land. Support the show

The Mystery Of Divine Rest

2026/07/21

Pastor Mattie returns from sabbatical and preaches on the one discipline most of us have never taken seriously: rest. Drawing from Genesis, Exodus, the Psalms, and the life of Jesus, he makes the case that rest isn't the reward you get after the work is done — it's the evidence that God's presence is actually with you, and the rebellion against a performance-driven life that the gospel demands. Support the show

Set Free In The Sovereignty of God

2026/07/14

God is more in control than you realize — and that's not a threat, it's the most stabilizing truth in Scripture. Pastor Ian walks through Romans 8–11 to show that the tension between God's sovereign will and human choice isn't a contradiction to resolve but a mystery to rest in, and that the people you can't stop praying for may be the clearest evidence that God is already moving in their lives. Support the show

God’s Justice In Reconciliation - Kashif Khan

2026/07/07

Reconciliation isn't just sentiment — it's a legally just transaction. Elder Kashif Khan walks through 2 Corinthians 5 to show how God can remain perfectly just and still forgive guilty sinners, and why understanding the mechanics of the gospel changes everything. Support the show
