All things have been created through Jesus and for Jesus. His blood was spilt as reconciliation for not only the human soul, but the whole of the universe. So how do we participate in His renewal of all things? We work hard, practice hospitality, and pray blessings over our city.
He who began this great work in you is faithful to complete it! God has not started something He cannot finish. So we run toward Him, beholding and heralding the goodness of His gospel, knowing our God will come through in the end.
1Jesus came to save sinners. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus transfers us from death to life. He takes us out of darkness and into the kingdom of light.
Taste and see that our God is good! Those who look on Him are radiant. He rescues the poor and restores the broken. Those who rest in Him are happy. He gives purpose and protection to His people. Exalt His Name forever!
If the fruit is bad, something is wrong with the vine. But how might we produce the good fruit that lasts? Moment by moment, we turn back to Jesus. Day by day, the vine abides in the comforts, resources, and abilities of the Holy Branch.
We, a people embedded in darkness, have seen a great light. Even those of us dwelling among indelible shadows, a new day is dawning on us. Repent, for His kingdom is now!
We cannot come to God with our goodness, because we have none. Our attempts toward holiness are filthy, but it is faith that pleases Him. It is a broken and repentant heart that reconciles us to our God.
The fields are ruined, the new wine is dried up, and human joy has evaporated. Even still, our God is slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and calls us to get up, repent, and return to Him.
Time is running out. This is the time to be serious about our walk with Christ. We cannot take it for granted. We must be warriors for the Kingdom of Heaven and contend for the faith—not just for ourselves, but for the sake of those around us.
God desires three sounds in the heart and house of His people: the prayers for all nations, the praises of His Saints, and the proclamation of His Gospel. Anything less is a sound that grieves His heart.
Our faith should change us. As we receive the Word, let us be those who put it into action—not letting it terminate on our ears, but germinate in our hearts.
Bitterness creeps into our hearts and grows into resentment, unforgiveness, and hatred. It stagnates our sanctification, but with a perspective shift, the bitter becomes sweet and turns into resilience.
It was never promised that all our dreams would come true when we follow Jesus. We get intimacy with God, and not a life of ease. Suffering is normal, Jesus is good, and joy will break through.
God is advancing His Kingdom across the whole world, His power is behind it, and He uses His people to do it. But we are not alone. We have received His power through the Holy Spirit—the Helper and the Comforter—to carry out this work.
Jesus is the beginning and the end, and all things hold together in His hands. Any time, talent, or treasure is a gift from above. May we steward it all with generosity.
Finally, men, be watchful, stand firm in your faith, don’t revert back to your boyhood ways, but act like men. Be strong and let everything you do be done out of love.
All wealth, power, relationships, and earthly accolades lead us into a false rule of our lives. Jesus calls us to give Him back the throne, that we may truly live as stewards in His kingdom.
A man gains wisdom with the fear of the Lord, but how does the wise man live his life? It is one marked by reverence, submission, and delight.
Proverbs contrasts the wise man against three other types—the fool, the simpleton, and the evil one. But the good news of the gospel is that no one is stuck in these lesser categories. And how might they make this move? By fearing the Lord.
In our society, masculinity seems to either be vilified or a cheap machismo is offered up in its place. So, we look to the Scriptures for what it means to be a man.

I help run the kids ministry at our church in CA and have been teaching our kids on our identity in Christ. This Unearthed Series has been so powerful in my life. Thank you ❤️
A lie from head to toe
I am God. You made a mistake and bowed down to your own kind
One of the best sermons I've heard. Wish I knew who the speaker was!?!
I have a close friend whose baby died of natural causes during the pregnancy. She is now being forced to carry his corpse inside her body until it passes naturally, which has a 90% chance of going septic and killing her, because her state has a trigger law that has banned her from inducing labor before 20 weeks to remove the already dead baby from her body. Anyone supporting this wants her to die from her very much wanted child's dead body rotting inside her, a child she isn't allowed to expel and mourn properly because now they've turned it into a direct threat to her life. She can't even mourn her child's death. She's so torn up about the fact that there's an already dead child in her body that she can't remove and have a funeral for before it likely kills her.
what was the song Lauren was going to sing?

Great content. I'd really love to transcribe your podcast. Transcription helps to reach a wider audience. The deaf would also be able to consume and enjoy your content. My email is vickies2cents@gmail.com. Thank you.
really really good message with the gospel
I don't agree with him when he says he doesn't call out false teachers. Your flock is coming to you for guidance regarding a certain teaching from a certain church, it is important to show them scripturally how that person is wrong.
Thank you for this. This really helped me. and I will be sharing this with all of my Men's Ministry leadership.
this man isn't afraid to preach the biblical Gospel. always love listening to him.
My friend turned me onto Matt Chandler roughly a year ago. Since then I have listened to every sermon I can find online and every podcast. Rarely is there a sermon with less than 90% profound thought. So much truth and so much thought all boiled down to perfection. Great for new believers. Great for seminarians. Great for anyone in between. He reminds me of Dane Cook preaching. Amazing sense of humor mixed with the best theology I've heard in years makes this a must for everyone.
Going to Baylor University I get the oppertunity to hear Matt Chandler speak in person often, he is one of the only guys that I have ever found that is able to move satan to Christ. He is young, not much over 30, and so passionate. You can't ignore his words, becasue they come with such passion that you desire to feel the love that he feels. I listen to every one!
For anyone who is searching for the truth of Jesus Christ, with the corruption of man and religion removed, I challenge you to spend time listening to Matt Chandler. Pastors and teachers in churches today are so much a product of religion and culture that the gospel gets lost in mans selfish desires and motives (which is lust). Even after 2000 years, church leaders still look and act like the Pharisees spoken so often of in the New Testament. The truth of the gospel is very simple, Christ! Follow Him instead of man or laws. He is God's gift of salvation to the world. Christ can change your life and deliver you from the bondage of sin, judgement of the law, and the variety of wishy washy religious teachings of man. Don't wait another moment. Matt is a great source of truth about God's Word and learning what it means and how to live it out. It's a great place to get started growing in Christ. Don't delay!
