Substance Welcomes Pastor Chris Mathebula from South Africa.

"Kings & Queens"      (Part

3 in the series, "Things Above") – Motivation always runs low for

people who have a bad theology of heaven. It's a natural consequence. So, after

giving dozens of fresh reminders about the age to come, Pastor Peter explains

God's invitation to rule and reign with him. What will it look like? What might

we be in charge of? And what are the scriptures which promise this? (Isaiah

60:1-10; Col 3:1; Rev. 2:26; Rev. 4:10)

Technical Desc. I show a video unpacking the new heavens and new

earth…But then I go back into the 4 Crowns promised in the Bible… hit Isa.60

which talks a lot about nations, kings, etc… and then I end with the Teddy

Roosevelt story about the missionary couple from Africa.

3.24.2019  - "The Scientific Case for the After-life" (Part 2, Things Above) - What if Heaven was just "wishful thinking?" How do we really know there is life after death? After sharing dozens of fascinating studies and stories, Pastor Peter shares the evidence that is causing leading scientists to rethink what we know about life after medical death. Perhaps the Biblical teachings of heaven were right all along? (2 Cor. 12; John 14:1-3)

2019-03(Mar)17   "Heaven Changes Everything"  (from the series: "Things Above" Pt 1) – Many people struggle trying to look forward to heaven because they still hold all sorts of unbiblical ideas about what heaven will look like. So, after sharing 10 interesting ideas about heaven, Pastor Peter begins to cast vision for WHY our theology of heaven can change everything regarding our motivation today. (Luke 23:43; Revelation 6:9-11; Prov 25:2; Heb. 4:1).We thank you for checking out this video today. At Substance, one of our core values is to create community.

"Stopping

Bad Habits"  (Changeable Pt. 9)  Starting a habit is fundamentally different

than stopping a habit. But do you know God's plan for this? What habits would

you change if you knew that God was for you? While sharing both Bible and

research, Pastor Peter explains some of the counter-intuitive elements that

will increase our odds of experiencing God's transformation. (Luke 11)

"Starting New Habits" (Part 8 in the Series Changeable) – Success comes from the sum total of our Godly habits. And Spiritual maturity works the same way. After sharing about how God speaks to us about our habits, Pastor Peter explains some surprisingly simply ways to acquire new habits. (2 Sam.5; Isa. 48:17; Heb. 5:14- 15). Technical Desc. I share a half dozen Bible stories where God gave his ppl strategy to conqueror their problems. Then I share the 2 minute rule… proof texting: "Through constant use have trained themselves to distinguish"… Then I share the story of me running my first triathalon.

"The

6 Rules of Life-Planning" (Part 7 in the Series Changeable) -  Most people

think they have a motivation problem

when in reality they have a planning

problem. After sharing numerous scriptures and counter-intuitive studies,

Pastor Peter shares "Golden Rules #3 & #4" – the practical way to

birth motivation and execution on your dreams. (Gen 37; Exod 31, Josh 6)

2019-02(Feb)3 "Starting your Life Plan" (Part 6 in the series, Changable)

Why do some people achieve their goals and others don't? Both Scriptures and science have a lot to say about goal setting and dreaming – many of which are counter-intuitive. But, how about your dreams? Pastor Peter begins sharing the 6 Golden Rules of Life-planning. So, the ultimate question is this: Do you follow them? (Mt. 20:29-32; Prov 16:3; Jer. 33:3; Hab. 2:2)
