Grace is mentioned over 100 times in Paul's letter to the Galatians. Churches are often reluctant to preach about grace, for fear people will take advantage of it and sin freely. Does the idea of grace cause believers to backslide into sin? Does fear of grace make us add works to it for salvation? Pastor Mat looks at that and warns that if Satan can't get us to backslide, he'll try to get us to front-slide. What is that? Listen and find out.

In this study, we look at Jesus' first public miracle at a village wedding. It was not a spectacular event that everybody witnessed - only a few. The Lord often does His greatest miracles behind the scenes. Pastor Mat explains how this applies to our lives, and how we often find ourselves quietly blessing others without even realizing it. It's strong encouragement not to grow weary in well-doing.

How are we to think as Christians? The Bible teaches that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. The battle is in our mind, says Pastor Mat in this powerful study, based not only in Proverbs 23, but also in portions of Philippians and Ephesians. Listen and find out this powerful truth: If we change our minds, God will change our ______.

Does the idea of talking about your faith with an unbeliever fill you with fear? In this study in John Chapter One, Pastor Mat explains that God has actually made it very easy to share the Gospel. Like the apostles when they were first called, we just need to go to family and friends and say, "Come and see." As a bonus, he also tells us the "secret" to fixing every problem in our lives.

Do we live like the world around us...in futility of mind, past feeling, without hope? Or do we live like we have an eternal Savior, keeping a light touch on temporal things? Pastor Jin points out that the world wants us to walk in darkness, our minds corrupted by sin. The Lord, however, wants us to be renewed in the spirit of our minds, walking in true holiness. How does that happen? We'll look at that and also hear some important words about marriage as it represents an even deeper relationship.

In this study, originally given on Independence Day weekend, pastor Mat reveals the one thing we need to be DEPENDENT on if we truly want to be independent. He also points out the differences between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, as we discover God's plan to give His people "A New Heart."

Before getting into our passage in John's Gospel, Pastor Mat takes us through Leviticus 1, where we read about the Burnt Offering. Although this was a voluntary offering that anyone could make, it had to be done in a specific place and in a specific way. Why? That's what we'll learn as we then turn to the New Testament and meet John the Baptist and see what truly happened at Jesus' baptism.

The writer of Proverbs highlights some amazing promises in Chapter Three. Godly wisdom definitely has its rewards. Pastor Mat looks at these as he takes us through the opening verses of this Proverb. Learn the value of acknowledging the Lord in all our ways.
