The Homestead - Aubrey

Sunday July 20, 2025: Pastor Matt continues in our teaching on our shared life of union in Christ and how from our location "in Christ" we are to pray and live our every moment of our lives in His glory.

We are not praying from separation, we are not trying to get God's attention or twist His arm to answer our cry, we are fully accepted sons and daughters learning to knock from the rhythm of His heart and agree with His desires to be seen in the earth.

You were born for union.

Sunday June 29th, 2025: In this follow-up to our Builder Sons series, Pastor Matt shares a foundational reminder, our aim as builder sons is not what we're building or the fruit being produced. The true aim is, and always has been, union. From abiding in Him, fruit becomes both effortless and inevitable.

We're also inviting our entire family into a July assignment: daily communion and a focused reading of John 15, pressing deeper into union and communion with Abba.

Sunday June 15, 2025: In this closing message of our Builder Sons series, Pastor Matt shares the story of Elijah's final days and Elisha's refusal to disconnect, remaining faithfully joined through the waiting to inherit the double portion he was born for.

But inheritance always comes with responsibility.

Soon, Elisha faces a city where the water is bad and land is barren. The answer? Salt at the source. Not the sweat of striving, but the tears of worship. Not effort, but union.

Sunday June 8th, 2025: Isaiah 62 calls us to be builder sons, those that restore paths and gates. In Acts 12, Peter walks through prison doors that open on their own, then reaches a door that requires a knock. Both are grace. Some doors swing wide open with no effort. Others demand persistence. Sons know the difference and respond accordingly. 

The beauty is, even our knocking and persistence is not from ourselves, but is a withdraw on deposited grace and empowerment through Holy Spirit. You have all you need to see every door intended to open, be opened.

Sunday June 1, 2025: In this teaching, Pastor Matt explores the powerful tension between personal responsibility and divine empowerment. Are we supposed to add to our lives as 2 Peter teaches? Absolutely—but not through striving and self-effort. The good news is, grace has already deposited everything we need. Our role is to partner with the Holy Spirit and draw out what's already been placed within us. Its not either/or. It's both/and.

Sunday May 25, 2025: Pastor Matt continues our look at Isaiah 35's promise and explores the narrative when Jesus meets a grieving widow on the road outside the city. Where sorrow and death are interrupted by the life of the Beloved Son. 

Isaiah 35 comes alive as the wilderness begins to bloom and hope meets us in our dry places.

Sunday May 11, 2025: Pastor Matt continues teaching on the assurance and glory availed only in the wilderness. As sons and daughters we no longer see the wilderness through any other lens except that exclusively of the Father's jealousy for us. A jealousy to establish, root, and build a land of promise; first in us and secondly around us. 

Sunday May 4, 2025: Religion has hijacked the concept of the wilderness and has caused us to see it exclusively through the lens of God's test and/or His displeasure, when it was in-fact the spirit that led Jesus into the wilderness. As sons and daughters we see the wilderness not as the hard part that qualifies us for a promise land, but rather, as the blank canvas of raw potential to create in union with Abba Himself.

We don't run from the wilderness, instead, we get seated in assurance to see an Isaiah 35 promise fulfilled in our lives.

Sunday April 27, 2025: Pastor Matt uses narratives of Jesus encountering two disciples on the road who knew so much about Him yet did not recognize him, as well as, Jesus' parents at 12 losing him while they assumed he was somewhere in the crowd. How much of our journeys have we spent on the parades, the entourages, and the conversations; all the while missing His invitation to know Him face-to-face?

Sunday April 20, 2025: Pastor Matt teaches Easter Sunday on where Abba was during Christ's crucifixion. While religion's impoverished legalistic lens caused us to believe He was turning His back on the son so He wouldn't turn His back on us, the reality is so much better than we could have ever dreamed.
