Matthew Everhard

Welcome to the Live Chat! Today we are talking about the balance of life - holding things like ministry, rest, sleep, worship, family, health, exercise, and diet in a proper order. Since the Bible is the Word of God and theology is the application of Scripture to all areas of life, the Bible has a wise perspective on all of these issues.

What does it mean to truly walk with God? In Genesis 5:21–24, we encounter Enoch, a remarkable man whose life is summarized in just a few words: “Enoch walked with God.” This sermon explores the biblical metaphor of walking as a picture of the Christian life, obedience, and spiritual growth. Discover four essential lessons from Enoch’s example: walk in the light, stay on the straight and narrow pa...

Description: In this particular sermon from Genesis 5:1-20, we will be looking at the genre of Biblical genealogies. Why does the Bible seem to stress them, whereas modern man seems to think of them as disinteresting? I will argue here that there are at least three reasons that the Bible contains them. 1) To establish the historicity of the Christian faith. 2) To trace the hand of the promises of...

Description: In this sermon, we will look at the beginning of revival. "Then men began to call upon the name of the Lord." Here is the first instance of revival in the Bible. It comes at a very dark time, as Cain has established his rebellious city. Lamech has perverted the institution of marriage. And yet despite all the darkness, God incites a revival in the time of Seth.

Hi Everyone! Join in the conversation today as we do a livechat on the topic of love, marriage, dating, courtship, divorce, forgiveness etc.

In this video, I am going to discuss whether or not pastors have to have degrees in order to be ordained. On the one hand, we can argue that there are no educational requirements for pastors in the Bible. On the other hand, though, there are so many skills that the pastor must have in order to competently lead his church. Let's dig in to this topic today! REGISTER FOR CONFERENCE: https://www.g...

The City of Cain | Common Grace, Technology, Music, and the Gifts of God (Genesis 4:16–22) What can we learn from Cain, the first murderer in the Bible, who went on to build a city and father a family?

In this video, I take plenty of time to go through viewer questions about preaching and sermon preparation. We talk about everything from exegesis to delivery. The viewers had a ton of great questions, so let's go through them!

In this video, we are going to consider three kinds of preachers who don't believe in the power of the Word of God. 1) Preachers who feel that stunts and costumes and props somehow enhance Biblical worship. 2) Preachers who actively try to undercut the authority of the Word by doubting it's claims (liberals)3) Preachers who feel that medieval mysticism can enhance or replace the power of t...

In this sermon, we look at the continuing saga of Cain's sin. He is judged by God, exiled and cursed from the ground. At the same time, he is also given grace and God provides a unique mark to protect him from others. We consider the concepts of justice and grace and consider their perfection in the cross of Christ.

In this video, I will take your questions from YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The topic will be witnessing, specifically street preaching and other forms of public evangelism. I will take as many questions as I can reasonably answer in about an hour! Let's discuss how we can get the Word of God out to our cities and neighborhoods!

What makes worship truly acceptable to God? Is sincerity enough—or does God require us to worship Him according to His truth? In Genesis 4:1–5, Cain and Abel both bring offerings to the Lord, yet God accepts Abel’s offering and rejects Cain’s. Why? Their story gives us one of Scripture’s earliest and most important lessons about true and false worship . In this sermon, we examine the similarities...

In this video, I write something like an "open letter" to the PCA. Don't get me wrong. The PCA is the greatest denomination in the world. I love it. I am so thankful for it! I am blessed and honored to be a part of the PCA. It is excellent in so many ways! But rather than sprain my arm patting ourselves on the back, I want to point out a number of things that we can certainly do bett...

In this video, I will work through a number of responses that we can give when people offer typical "roadblocks" to evangelism such as: I'm not religious I'm spiritual Don't judge! Don't push religion down people's throats! Believe the science, etc.

BANISHED FROM THE GARDEN | Genesis 3:22–24 What happened when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden? And what does their banishment mean for us today? In Genesis 3:22–24, we come to the sobering conclusion of the Garden of Eden story. Adam and Eve are driven from Paradise, and cherubim with a flaming sword are placed at the entrance to guard the way to the Tree of Life. The door to Ed...

John Calvin’s years in Strasbourg were some of the most important—and often overlooked—years of his life. After being expelled from Geneva in 1538, Calvin spent several years in Strasbourg under the influence of the great Reformer Martin Bucer. Far from being a period of failure, these years became a season of remarkable pastoral, theological, and personal growth. In this video, we explore John Ca...

Dr. Matthew Everhard explores the life and influence of Jonathan Edwards, the great Puritan theologian, pastor, revivalist, missionary, philosopher, and theologian of the eighteenth century. Edwards lived from 1703–1758 and became one of t...

Covered by Grace | Genesis 3:20–21 | The Gospel in the Garden of Eden What does clothing have to do with the gospel? In Genesis 3:20–21 , immediately after Adam and Eve’s fall into sin, we encounter two remarkable signs of God’s grace. Eve is named “the mother of all living,” and God Himself makes garments of skins and clothes Adam and Eve. In the midst of judgment, God displays mercy. In this ser...
