The MET Church Podcast

God instructs us to apply thanksgiving in every circumstance in life. That’s because gratitude is the gateway to intimacy with God and with others. Today, Matt Roberson challenges us to forget the grumbling, and embrace a life of thankfulness and gratitude. 

Have you ever asked, ‘What do I do next?’ The greater question is, ‘What do I do first?’ In life, we’re called to seek first the kingdom of God. In all things, we can know our first step - to seek the kingdom and live for God's glory. That’s not easy. But it’s always worth it.’

A disciple of Jesus follows Jesus, is being changed by Jesus, and is committed to the mission of Jesus. In this message, Brad Kilgore concludes the series BE1 MAKE1 as we focus on a life of mission for Christ. 

God calls his people to stand in the gap to intercede for our neighbors, communities, and cities. Today, we discuss the why and how to lift our city in prayer. 

It takes work to be a blessing to those around us. Making a difference is hard work, but it's work that God calls us to engage in. Great things happen when God does his part, and we do ours. Today, Matt Roberson and Bryan Kelley share stories of what God does through the church when we seek to lift the city.

The stakes are high. Eternity is real. That should create an urgency to our everyday lives. Every follower of Jesus is called to be intentional and leverage their influence for things that will matter forever. Today’s message focuses on practical ways to make the most of every opportunity.

The reality of heaven brings hope. In today's message, guest speaker Paul Taylor shares a story of unfathomable loss, pain, grief, and, ultimately, hope.

According to Scripture, hell is a real place. Because of that, we need to talk about it. What is it? Where is it? Who will experience it? How can we make sure we don't? In this message, Daren Neely brings a sober discussion in our series Heaven & Hell.

Eternity is a theme throughout Scripture. Everyone spends forever somewhere. In this message, Matt Roberson kicks off week one of this teaching series 'Heaven & Hell.' 

We are no longer condemned but adopted as children of God! That's the beautiful, life-changing truth we can walk in as followers of Jesus. Pastor Rick Theriot wraps up our walk through Romans 1 thru 8 by unpacking how to live by the Spirit.

Our sinful nature is something we're born into. But there's also a spiritual nature, a life empowered by the Spirit, which God offers us. Pastor Matt's message in Romans 7 focuses on how sin's power can be overcome through our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Sin can have a hold on our lives, and being a Christian doesn't mean everything automatically gets easier. In this message, Pastor Matt Roberson breaks down the struggle and offers biblical solutions to not being held captive to sin's power. 

Romans 5:11 says, 'So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.' How can friendship with God affect every area of our lives? Is this just a nice platitude, or does being a friend of God affect our daily experience? In this conversation, Scott Rodgers shares how friendship with God means we have peace with Him, can find p...

Continuing in our teaching series in the book of Romans, Scott Rodgers takes us on a journey of context as a way to better understand the text of Romans 4.

Being born under sin affects every area of our lives. Our words, relationships, thoughts, you name it. 'But now God...' shows us a new, better way. Through faith in Christ, we are made right with God and rescued by God from the power of sin in these areas of our lives. This week we continue our teaching series in Romans, focusing on chapter three. 

The gospel is good news, especially when we consider the bad news of the penalty our sin deserves. Today’s message looks at the reality of God’s wrath which is satisfied in Christ on the cross.

In today's message, Matt Roberson starts the new teaching series focused on Romans chapters 1 thru 8. Chapter 1 begins by focusing on the gospel's good news- it is God's power at work, saving everyone who believes. 

Can we move on from our past regrets? We've all made bad choices, done things we're not proud of, or even didn't do something we should have done. If you ever struggle to doubt that you can move forward from your mistakes, Daren Neely shares his journey to encourage you on how and why moving forward is possible.

It can be hard to believe in a good God when we're walking through difficulty, pain, or suffering. While we live in a broken world that brings about much of our pain and suffering, sometimes our circumstance doesn't make sense. In those seasons, God often doesn't tell us why, but he does show us how to walk through it and who to walk with. 

There's a starting point to finding purpose. Knowing where to start removes the mystery and brings clarity. In today's message, Matt Roberson also shares a new perspective on how and why God's assignment for your life differs from your purpose. He also shares three things that can rob you of your purpose. 

Today's message begins the series Benefit of the Doubt. Can faith and doubt coexist? Did doubting Thomas doubt everything he'd come to believe about Jesus, or was it just hard to believe the news that Jesus had risen and appeared to some? Jesus doesn't shame Thomas for doubting; he responds with grace. If you doubt that dead things come back to life, welcome to Easter, where God shows us that dead...

In our final week of God Stories, we share some of what God is doing as we seek to lift our city and love people, no strings attached. 

'I wasn't bad, trying to get good. I was sick, trying to get healed.' Today's God Story focuses on how three ladies, each looking for help and hungry for God, crossed paths. What Jesus has done and continues to do in and through them is truly inspiring. Their story gives us hope! If he can do it for them, he can do it for you. 

God stories often involve the roles of God's part, their part, and your part. When sharing faith, knowing that God's already at work is essential. Just do your part. Trust God with the results. Today's story shows how God works in people's hearts and minds as he actively does his part. 

Jesus says that his disciples will know the truth, and the truth will set them free. Today's story will inspire you that, with Christ, all things are possible for you too.  Viewing God Stories on video is also available. This week's content can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/9ZmE9tO7_lw
