The MET Church Podcast

In the final week of Love The Church, you'll hear the story of The MET, which is the story of God's blessing and faithfulness. Relevant to us all, we discover that God is always (at least) one step ahead. And our obedience is what he uses to position us to accomplish his purposes. 

At The MET, we define a disciple's pathway as joining a small group, lifting the city, tending our soul, engaging in God's word, and loving the church. One way we love the church is through serving. Today's message focuses on how God calls and gifts us to make a difference by serving others inside and outside the local church. 

We often say, 'I love my church.' Typically, that's based on what we receive or get from our church experience. But love goes both ways. Loving the church includes giving back and investing in the church's life and its God-given mission. In week one of 'Love The Church,' we look at what it means to love the church through our giving. 

What is spiritual leadership, and how can you become a spiritual leader? It's not complicated, but it's intentional and includes a good dose of hard work. Today we look at a biblical picture of spiritual leadership. 

God's promises are dependable. He wants to use you for his purpose and glory and to leave a legacy. Are you willing? Today, we conclude our series on the life of David. 

David, the hero, clashes with David, the human. Amid acts of heroism and courage, his brokenness and mortality reveal a desperate need for grace. In looking at David, we see ourselves as he discovers that repentance is a gift that leads to a restored relationship and rebuilds trust with God and others.

The path from victim to victory most often isn't a direct route. In the story of David, the victim living on the run from King Saul, he discovers that time in the cave can be God's training ground. As he progresses from victim to vindication, God tests David's character. What he does in the test makes all the difference. And David's story is our story. When we're in 'the cave,' what will we do? Vi...

We all want it, but finding it can be hard - friendship, true friendship. And what's it look like to be a God-honoring, covenant-keeping friend to others? Listen in as Matt Roberson teaches some biblical principles from the friendship of David and Jonathan.

The classic story of David vs. Goliath equips us to face some of life’s greatest challenges. But what we find is different than what you may think. 

Your past doesn't define you because God's at work in you. He equips those he's called, but are we willing to walk through the equipping? Much to our surprise, in the monotony, in the places and stages of life that no one sees, God often does his deepest work in us. Join us in week one of DAVID.

Discover how an obscure character in the Christmas Story inspires a life of faith-filled anticipation, longing, patient obedience, and staying the course God calls you to. 

The seemingly quiet Christmas story of the Magi - the wise men from the east, and Herod - the ruthless ruler, each shows us how our response to Jesus changes everything. 

Are you ready? 'Ready for what?' you ask. When God knocks on the door of your life, will you be ready to go and do what he's asking? Matt Roberson shares how we can have a posture of readiness as we look at the classic Christmas Story through the point of view of the innkeeper, based on Luke 2. 

In the conclusion of our series in The Book of Esther, Matt Roberson examines lessons learned from the main characters of this fast-paced story of God's sovereignty. 

How do God's sovereignty and our responsibility work together to further His redemptive plans? Make no mistake; God is always at work. But how? And when? Scott Rodgers takes us on a journey in Esther chapter two as we learn from this courageous young woman how to walk in God's favor. The very thing He uses for His glory and His purposes.

God's work in us is evident in His work through us. Today's guests, Luke and Casey Yetter, share an impactful story of how inviting others into a meaningful relationship without judgment can truly transform one's heart and life.

Receiving eternal life requires faith. Living the life God calls us to requires faithfulness. In our pursuit of revival, Scott Rodgers shares what we should keep in mind about what's to come when choosing to follow Jesus more closely. In his words to the church in Smyrna, from Revelation chapter two, Jesus has some encouraging, hope-filled instruction for us all.

Are beliefs and behaviors enough? Or is Jesus looking for something more? This week, Matt Roberson shares from Revelation 2 what Jesus is really looking for.

It's one of those things that most of us wish was a bigger part of our lives. It's also something essential to experiencing revival personally and corporately. In this message from Pastor Rick Theriot, we're looking at what the Scriptures say about prayer - its importance and power.

There exists a big obstacle to personal revival. The good news is that overcoming this obstacle is also an essential step to experiencing a life-long, transformative walk with Jesus.

With God, all things are possible. Including revival in our lives, our church, and our city. Listen in and let your faith rise to the level of expectation that revival is possible in your life, no matter your situation.

It's time for an awakening in our hearts, homes, church, and city. If you're hungry for revival in your life, this message can help you take the first step.

What begins as a conversation around compassion turns into a personal story of processing grief. We hope this discussion encourages you and someone you may know who could use some hope today.

What's the connection between discipleship and relationship? In this candid conversation with our guest Keith Strasburger, we debunk some myths about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. We also explore the painful but fruitful reality that discipleship happens best in the context of relationships, not just with God but with others.

Today's episode welcomes our special guest, Daren Neely as we hear more about the challenge of sowing the right decisions in our lives. This episode also includes some behind-the-scenes events that led up to his (unexpected) teaching this past Sunday at TheMET.
