The One Boston Church Podcast

What if the breakthrough you’re praying for begins with a change God is asking you to make? Using the comedy Bruce Almighty, we’ll explore why our way can feel right and still lead us in the wrong direction, why real change requires more than regret, and how God’s grace gives us a way forward. You don’t have to fix yourself before you come to Jesus—but you can trust Him enough to let Him lead you into a different life.

What if the thing you need most is the one thing you can never earn? Through the powerful story of Les Misérables, we explore the brokenness that holds us back, the longing for redemption that lives inside us, and the incredible grace that makes a new life possible. Discover why we can't save ourselves—and how the greatest act of sacrificial love changes everything.

Three years ago, One Boston Church began with a simple yes to what God was doing—and now it’s time to take the next step. As we celebrate what God has done, we’ll discover why following Jesus was never meant to stop with us: we’re called to go, to go together, and to take someone with us. Who is God putting in your path—and what could happen if you simply invited them along?

What if you weren’t just saved to belong to the church—you were equipped to build it? In this message, we discover that God has put something in every one of us, that we are better together, and that what we build together can carry Jesus’ mission beyond our own lives. You were made for this!

God created you to belong, believe, and become—and if we're going to see the more God has for Boston and One Boston, we can't just reject the lie of disconnection; we have to push back by opening our lives, inviting people in, and building the house together.

What is the Church really supposed to be—and what does that have to do with you? In this first message of Church Explained, we discover why the Church exists, who we are called to be at One Boston, and why there is a part for every one of us to play.

What if experiencing more of God requires more surrender? In the final week of Above & Beyond, we explore what it means to place our time, talent, treasure, and plans into God's hands—and discover the freedom that comes when we trust the One who is leading us. More of God requires more surrender.

What if experiencing more of God doesn't begin with doing more, but with learning to pray differently? In Week 3 of Above & Beyond, we discover how the early church made prayer a normal part of their lives—and how we can learn to ask, listen, and act as we pursue a deeper relationship with God.

There is more to life with God—but are you preparing for it? In this message, Pastor Matt explores how God prepared the disciples through His Word before empowering them with His Spirit, and why the same pattern still applies today. Discover a simple, practical way to read the Bible with confidence and begin recognizing God's voice in your everyday life.

There has to be more... doesn't there? If you've ever wondered whether following Jesus was meant to be more than simply attending church and trying to be a good person, this message is for you. Discover why Jesus promised more than forgiveness alone and how God invites every believer into a life of greater purpose, power, and expectation through His Spirit.
