South Point Sessions

In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about what is coming up for South Point in the next few weeks and they continue to talk about the "I AM" series. Josh talks about Jesus saying he's the way, the truth & the life & then shares a story about how he almost got punched by a congregation member. It's a whole church meets UFC vibe. You'll love it. 

South Point was established as a church for those who don't like church. Throughout this last season, Pastor Matt and our leaders have felt that we've perhaps gone off course from that original vision. In this episode, Pastor Matt addresses where we are currently and where we are headed. Buckle up! This is going to be such a great ride together!

The current state of your life is not a deal breaker or deal maker for Jesus. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how Jesus declares that He is the way out of the darkness of your heart & life. He's the light that will lead you to what real life is all about. 

Have you ever wondered what others would think of you if they had a front row seat to your relationship with God? Honestly, all the times you get frustrated, all the prayers that you make that can often seem petty or selfish. What about the way you talk to God about others? Most of us would be mortified. BUT why should we be? pastor Matt quoted Psalm 139 last week where it seems like David has a major mood swing in the towards the end of the Psalm. In fact, it seems like this happens to him and the other Psalm writers a lot. He expresses his heart with raw & unhindered emotions. Is that ok? Can we do that? Is there a problem with expressing ourselves this way??? 

This week Matt and Josh go after this whole thing area and discuss how our relationship with God is FULL of roses & thorns. 

Faith is an aspects of life that can sometimes feel complicated. You know it's important & you try to give it room in the busyness of everything. For some reason, there is this little voice that at times tells you that you're not measuring up. It could be voices from your upbringing, parents, church leaders or even friends who maybe even without knowing told you how you weren't hitting the mark spiritually. Sometimes, the voice we hear is our own. But what if we've overcomplicated the whole thing? What if for every thorn that we experience in our lives, there is a rose that is there to show us how loved we are? 

In this episode, Matt & Josh explore the book of Galatians and what it means to actually rest, live and love in the simplicity of God care for us. 

It's 2022 people! Can you believe it?? For some of us the last year... Maybe even two years has been a blur. With wave after wave, after wave of Covid start & stop restrictions, many of us are... Well, to put it mildly... Done! As we've stepped into 2022, many within our church and community aren't their chipper, normal selves. A lot of us are tired, stressed and overwhelmed. This new year has arrived and TBH... We're over it. The normal new year resolution cadence seems to have left the building for lots and lots of people. 

While it may be ok to not be ok, what if 2022, instead of being the biggest obstacle to your joy, became the biggest opportunity to THRIVE? In this episode, Matt and Josh discuss how maybe... Just maybe, Covid has become a crutch for many to excuse themselves from becoming better and growing in the areas of their lives that have faded or have been purely neglected because of the pandemic.

This is your year to THRIVE. 

We're taking the next few weeks to tell stories have some fun and get nuts! This week, Matt and Josh tell some of their horror stories of growing up in church and how God showed up in their lives, even with crazy people calling them ugly and fat. Don't miss it.

Ever know that there is something that you need to be doing, but you don't do it? Yeah, us too. 

Especially during Covid, it seems as though this whole "meh" attitude has gotten stronger and stronger. In some ways, it feels like apathy about anything is at an all time high. Unfortunately, this attitude has creeped into our faith lives and has caused many of us to not only feel like "meh" but to live out our faith in a "meh" kinda way. 

This week Matt and Josh explore how we can overcome the apathy going on in our hearts, do the things we know we should do and live the lives we want to live. It's a good one!

You want to be G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time)? I mean... We all do! No one wakes up one morning and says, "today, I want to be mediocre." We have this theme in our culture that tells everyone they are important and that they deserve the acknowledgement & affections of the people around them. We may not say any of this out loud, but without a doubt, every human lives their lives with a desire to leave a legacy so that they are not forgotten. We want to make sure that our life lives on beyond our last breath. We want our lives to count, but when things don't work out the way we expect them to, lots of time we start down a path of disillusionment & despair. For people who call themselves followers of Jesus, existential moments like these affect our faith and cause us to questions what all of our invested time & effort was all for: "Does God even love me? Why would he let all this happen? Don't I deserve more than what is happening to me?"

In this week's episode, Matt and Josh look at what Jesus had to say about being great and how he defines & outlines what significance actually looks like in God's kingdom. This is a challenging one that you don't want to miss. 

Have you ever spent time with someone who made themselves the centre of every conversation, event or problem? Yeah... We have too. It seems to be their preferences, their priorities & their agendas that win every time. They are the types of folks that many would consider toxic or as many psychologists would determine are demonstrating "consumer behaviour." 

Unfortunately, this type of attitude & behaviour can also be found in the Church. Worship style battles, preferences when It comes to preaching, criticizing programs that are offered or just being "toxic" in general has created a stigma of church goers and has contributed to the PR problem that the church is experiencing. 

In this episode, Matt and Josh explore the differences between a consumer & contributor. Get ready to be challenged and to hear from various voices about how they moved from one C to the other. It's going to be a great series.
