The Homestead - Aubrey

Sunday October 20, 2024: Pastor Matt uses Matthew's gospel narrative of the two blind men following after Jesus, in tandem with Romans 8, and teaches on the surrendered and led life of the kingdom. During this teaching, Holy Spirit began to highlight and aim His attention on the orphan spirit, and halts the service in the most glorious way as hearts were one by one being ravished by the love of Abba.

Sunday October 13, 2024: Pastor Matt teaches from 2 Samuel and David's journey of returning the Ark of The Lord back to the temple and how crucial it is for us to see our sonship (our robes) bring identification rather than our function (roles).  It is only through this lens that we are able to place the necessary emphasis on His presence in our lives and to know the grace required to rearrange our world in order to host Him well.

Sunday October 6, 2024:  Pastor Matt teaches the fourth, and final, installment of our series on Galatians with an honest look at the "how to" of expelling the mocking voice of religion. Using Pslams 77 we see this thought pattern in real time and what it means to turn to Holy Spirit's lordship in order to walk in the freedom of sonship.

Sunday September 29, 2024: Pastor Matt dives once again into Paul's letter to the Galatians and the gospel of Jesus (grace) overcoming that of the law (works).  In this message, we look at a life truly, and fully, led by Holy Spirit and the fruit that avails to every facet of our lives.

Sunday September 15, 2024: Pastor Matt shares part 2 of our dive into Galatians and Paul's aggressive language against a false gospel that mixes law and grace.  This week we look specifically at the necessary process within our hearts of expelling the slave woman (the Law) and her son (self-effort) in order to truly inherit the life of sonship and liberty we are created for.

Sunday September 8, 2024: Pastor Matt begins our dive into Paul's letter to the Galatians and the necessary end of mixing law and grace.  Paul is clear in his message, as we must be today, a Jesus + something gospel is a non-gospel and if we are to truly become the light of the world we must see grace for what it really is, a Holy Spirit empowerment.

Sunday August 25, 2024: Jamal shares an exegetical look through Paul's letter to the Ephesians and gleans present truths of worship, gratitude, praise, and perspective necessary for a house of worship.

Sunday August 18, 2024: Pastor Matt shares part 3 of our teaching on God's pure light and the necessary process that moves us from exposure to immersion in marvelous light. Using the narrative of Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus, we see the beauty of His light "blinding" us from seeing where we are going and the immovable trust that becomes the fruit of yielding.

Sunday Aug. 11th, 2024:  Pastor Matt continues the teaching from John's letter proclaiming that "God is pure light and in Him there is not even a trace of darkness..", and the necessary role Holy Spirit plays in our lives as we navigate the tension found in challenging days.  The reality is we will all come face to face with a moment that could potentially paint Him as something other than good, and while religion has no answer for this tension, Holy Spirit longs to usher us into and through these moments of discovering who HE really is. He is pure light.

Sunday August 4th, 2024: Pastor Matt begins a teaching on light and the crucial theological understanding that the Apostle John writes about when he says "..He is pure light and in Him there is no trace of darkness whatsoever..".  When we see Him in His pure light, and we know Christ is the authentic light of the world, we can finally begin to shine His light within us into the darkness around us.  He is the light of the world, therefore we are the light of the world.
