Pastor Matt's Podcasts

Why does God test our faith when He is all knowing, He already knows how we will respond to any test He gives us? The story of Abraham and Isaac and the sacrifice gives us a clear picture of the purpose God has for us in these tests.

In this sermon, we study Sarah's faith and the Seed that was promised her. We are all to take heart, although Sarah laughed when she heard she would have a child at 90 years old, God was still faithful and fulfilled His promise to her. That same faith she had, is available to us. In fact, the seed of faith is with us as well.

In this episode, we study the first part of Abraham's life. We are looking at his obedience to the call of God, by faith, yet at each turn it doesn't look like things are turning out well for him. God has a plan and a purpose for our lives, but it's His way, not our own. Enjoy

The only way they could get their systems to digest solid food was to give them solid food. Paul gets into some solid food through Chapter 9. He writes to them about sanctification, so we are going to look at it as our once for a...

The cross of Christ is scandalous, it causes people to stumble. For the self-righteous, there is no need for the cross because their is no need for forgiveness. They haven't done anything wrong. For many others, the cross is scandalous because they don't think they are worthy of Christ's forgiveness. on the one hand, some are too good, on the other hand some are not good enough. Against this, the...

In this Sermon, Pastor Matt tackles the issue of having a clean or a clear conscience. What the old covenant could not do through rituals, the new covenant does through the blood of Christ. Hebrews 4:16 “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
