Pastor Matt preaches from John 15:18-John 16:4. In this sermon, we see that the reason Jesus gives us the command to love one another is because of another, harsher, reality - that the world is going to hate us just as they hated Him. From these verses, Pastor Matt shows us the promise to be hated, the reason for the hatred, and the promised help for the hated. We'll hope you'll listen in and be encouraged and emboldened to continue on mission with Christ .

Pastor Matt preaches from John 15:1-4. In this sermon, we return to our verse-by-verse series through the Gospel of John by looking at the 7th "I Am" Statement, "I am the true vine and my Father the vinedresser." What does it mean for Jesus to be the True Vine? And what does it mean to be in vital union with Him as a branch?

We hope you'll listen in and be freed to be play to the glory of God.

Pastor Matt preaches from Acts 2:37-47, drawing from that text three ways the church glorifies God, both as a corporate body and as individuals within the church. The key word is devotion. A God-glorifying church is a church that is devoted Jesus, devoted to corporate worship, and devoted to one another.

Pastor Matt preaches today on glorifying God with our time. This begins with having a biblical perspective on time, namely God's eternal nature and man's finite nature. Once we have those in perspective, we're much better able to "make the best use of the time" we do have.

Disclaimer: Our normal mic was popping, so tune in for the chaos of switching to a handheld around 10 mins 30 secs in. The audio does level out and get much better by minute 13.

Drawing from various texts of Scripture, he lays out the biblical foundation of the family and three basic/beginning characteristics of a God-glorifying family.
