Pastor Matt's Podcasts

In this study, we once again look at the gospel of the Book of Romans.  The foundation of the Reformation, "The Just Shall Live By Faith" is here laid out for us.  These two verses are packed with Old Testament language, and are extremely relevant to us today due to the pull of "Universalism" on the faith.

As we get into our study on Romans, it is important to see just how Romans is the gospel of God.  It is a transition from the gospel of the Old Testament to the explanation of the same gospel in the New Testament.

In this new series, we examine the wealth of content that Paul gives to the Romans in his greeting.  The book of Romans has rightly been called "The Gospel of Romans."  The continuity between the Old Covenant and the New is systematized in this book.  Enjoy.

In this episode we examine the traps that the enemy sets for us.

In this second part of the series, "Silencing the Enemy", we examine those who are most susceptible to listening to the enemy.

Satan bombards Christians with noise.  One of our greatest tasks is to worship God and drown out the noise of the enemy.  This sermon defines the nature of the Christian's responsibility to do just that.

The Children of Israel were saved from Egypt in order that they may worship God.  The Tabernacle was built with beautiful furniture, but regardless of how beautiful it was, the tabernacle itself was not to be worshipped.  We need to hear that same caution today.  We cannot worship the ministry, we must worship Christ alone.

In this sermon, we discuss how God finances His kingdom through the vocation of His people.  Building the church is not the same thing as building the kingdom.  The church helped in building the foundation of Western civilization; however, when the church began emphasizing evangelizing individuals rather than the nations, they handed off many of the kingdom responsibilities fo the State.

In this sermon, we examine the privelege of serving the King and His kingdom.  God gives us the opportunity to serve Him with our free-will offering, but He also gives us the opportunity to serve Him with the skills we put on.  All of this advances the Kingdom of God for His glory.

In this episode we take a look at the reflection of God's glory that came from Moses when he came down the mountain with the new tablets of the covenant. The people were terrified witht he glory that shone from his face, but he kept his face uncovered until he delivered the word of God.  Only then did he cover it.  What does this mean to us?  What is the demand on Christians who have the glory of God upon them?  What is every Christian's responsibility?
