Worship 13.07.2014 33:43

Pastor Gregg Matte concludes his “Words With Friends” series in Romans by examining the concept of worship and what it means for us personally. Worship is not an event, it is a lifestyle! We were all made to worship something. Worship is not about what you do most. Rather, it is about what you put first in your life. What we put first affects what we do most. When we put God first, He affects what...

Revival 06.07.2014 34:33

Pastor Gregg Matte continues his “Words With Friends” series in 2 chronicles speaking about revival. Revival is a movement of God which affects everything. Revival at its core happens when the church awakens, which leads to people being saved and as a result society changes. Revival begins with an overwhelming sense of God's presence where we are receptive to the work He wants to do in us and thro...

Sharing Christ 29.06.2014 36:11

Pastor Gregg Matte continues his “Words With Friends” series in 1 Peter by examining how we can share Christ effectively with others. Sharing about Jesus is “expressing” what we possess in Him and “explaining” how we came to possess it. Fear tempts us to flee and stay quiet, but faith calls us to share. We have to both live it and say it and always be prepared to give an answer for the hope within...

Patience 15.06.2014 31:56

Pastor Gregg Matte continues his “Words With Friends” series by examining the concept of patience. Wisdom and patience are interlinked. Patience is wise, not passive. To be patient is to maintain one's self-control under pressure. We may be in a hurry, but God is not. Choosing to let go of our frustrations and rights when we have been wronged is necessary for us to become more like Jesus who calls...

Grace 08.06.2014 36:05

Timothy Ateek continues the “Words With Friends” series in Luke 15 by examining the concept of grace. God loves the rule-followers as well as the rule-breakers equally, just as the classic parable of “The Prodigal Son” teaches. We are wise to remember that where there is an inflated view of self, there will always be a deflated view of our need for God. Regardless of which category we find ourselv...

Lust 01.06.2014 35:20

Pastor Gregg Matte continues his “Words With Friends” series by examining the concept of lust from Titus 2. C.S. Lewis once described lust as “an ever-increasing craving for an ever-diminishing pleasure.” Our goal as believers should be to have an ever-increasing craving for Jesus, rather than the fleeting desires of this world. But in order to change our behaviors, we must first change our desire...
