At Pentecost, Peter initiates formal covenant charges against Israel. In this passage he continues to argue his case against the nation. Listen as Pastor Carr unpacks the evidences Peter puts forth for the dissolution of the covenant with Israel.

What was the significance of Peter choosing the text from Joel 2 to address the mocking crowd at Pentecost? Find out how he picks up on Joel’s covenant lawsuit and applies it to the hearers in Jerusalem and what that means for believers today.

In Reformed circles you’ll sometimes hear the phrase “Protestant Resistance Theory.” It teaches that civil rulers are limited—by God’s law, natural law, & their covenant oaths—and that tyranny may be resisted, ordinarily through lesser magistrates & lawful constitutional channels, not private, freelance revolt. But resistance theory isn’t uniquely Protestant. Listen as Pastor Matt shows how it predates the Reformation and is rooted in five ancient Christian creeds.

It’s tempting to see this passage simply as a descriptive prelude to Peter’s sermon from Joel. However, Luke has packed this portion of Scripture with a ton of OT courtroom language intended to indict Israel for their rebellion against God.

A new year invites sober reflection. Scripture does not permit spiritual stagnation—God calls His people to real growth in holiness. Are you walking with the Lord as closely as you once did, or have you noticed yourself becoming less watchful, less tender, less godly? It’s time to stop the drift. In this message, Pastor Matt reminds believers that sanctification is not optional, and from 2 Peter 1:5–8 draws three anchors for the Christian life: the effort required, the essential qualities to pursue, and the promised end reward.

What happened on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2? Beyond the narrative events, what happened in the scope of redemptive history? Listen as Pastor Carr ties the events of Pentecost to multiple Old Testament prophecies and shows the implications of their fulfillment.

What is the festival of Pentecost and how was it observed throughout Israel’s history. Answering those questions are foundational to understanding what Luke is revealing in Acts 2. In this sermon Pastor Carr traces the origins of the Feast, its focal shift, and the ultimate fulfillment in the New Covenant.

See how Luke shows the formation and legitimacy of the early church as a replacement for the Jewish synagogue system and how they used that authority to rule in the matter of Judas and what should happen to his place.

Every social order rests on a creed. Last week we saw how the creed of the Roman Empire shifted from completely pagan, gnostic Platonism to the increasingly developed Christianity of the creeds: The Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Creed of Constantinople, the Chalcedonian Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. In this lecture Pastor Matt follows these creeds through history as they walk out of the sanctuary & into coronations, law codes, &, eventually, constitutions. The people who confess them go home, write laws, crown kings, build courts & parliaments. Change the creed and you eventually change the entire government of a people—its laws, its structures, & its institutions. These doctrinal statements became the very bones of Western law & government.

It doesn’t matter what great things we aspire to do if we fail to obey Christ’s direct commands. Pastor Carr shows how the disciples demonstrated faithfulness in basic obedience as the foundation for what was to come next.

Every social order rests on a creed, on a concept of life & law. The political structure of a society represents a religion in action. If you change the creed, you will eventually change the law, the institutions, and political structure of a people. The early church didn’t just win theological debates; it replaced pagan social foundations: From cyclical or meaningless history to linear history under God. From emperor-as-divine to Christ as the only true King & Judge. Listen as Pastor Matt labors to demonstrate how the creeds of the early church were not just about getting theology right; they were God’s way of re–wiring the foundations of law, power, & liberty for the nations.

In this sermon Pastor Carr steps out of his exposition of Acts to give a topical treatment of the session of Christ. This important doctrine is the backbone for understanding what takes place in the rest of the book as well as what is taking place in history today.

Listen as Pastor Carr shows how the ascension demonstrates the glory and divinity of Christ as well as the meaning of the arrival of the two angels. This sermon shows how passages like this can have an immediate fulfillment, but still have relevance for the church today and moving forward.

More and more, Americans are pressured to denounce and apologize for their heritage. Many Christians are all too eager to oblige. Should we be? Listen as Pastor Matt considers this sensitive subject and offers a biblical model for understanding the past and looking toward the future.

How does Jesus answer the question concerning the restoration of the kingdom to Israel? It’s not a rebuke, but a redirection of focus.

Skip mere trivia; pursue timeless wisdom. Pastor Matt contrasts three views of history—meaningless, cyclical, linear—and shows why the biblical, linear view both explains the past and shaped America’s civics. Learn what to recover, what to avoid, and how to judge “progress” by an objective good.

Are the disciples still slow to understand when they ask about the restoration of the kingdom? Many would come to that conclusion, but it seems unlikely given the context of the question. Listen as pastor Dreamy Eyes explains the nature of their question and how that affects us today.

Whatever happened to civics class?Once upon a time, every student needed two or three semesters of civics to graduate high school. Today, “social studies” has replaced it—and most students can’t explain the difference. What changed?
In this opening lecture, Pastor Matt exposes the theological shift behind that subtle terminology change and the seismic worldview upheaval that followed. What was once taught as a science—anchored in divine order, objective truth, and fixed moral law—has been recast as a humanity, rooted in relativism and feeling.
The result? The America our forefathers envisioned—built on biblical foundations and covenantal responsibility—is being slowly replaced by something completely different.

We live in a culture that often confuses activity for faithfulness so we cane easily interpret a season of waiting and preparation as a sign of God’s displeasure. Pastor Carr shows how Jesus’ instructions to the apostles can be a measure of comfort and instruction for us today.
