Before the beginning, there was God. He had no starting place. He was, He is, and He is to come. We had no words for Him, so He defined Himself. His attributes call us to come and see that He is not like us, and this is good.
Jesus has not yet returned, but this is good news for those who wait. There is still time to follow, repent, learn, practice, and keep our lights burning in hopeful expectation of His arrival.
1Thousands of students are getting baptized into the faith on American college campuses. Godly curiosity is blooming among Gen Zers. Around the world communities are turning to Jesus. God is on the move, but could we miss it?
From the miry mines of humanity, God has seen fit to excavate, clean, and begin the slow work of making us look more like His treasured Son. He chisels away what isn’t needed and forms us into a people of His own possession.
All of humankind’s greatest achievements pale in comparison to the work of our greater God. In mercy, He has called us to join Him in this work. Faith started this journey, and it will sustain us along the way.
God desires kids and students to know and worship Him. The harvest is plentiful! And if we are willing, we can perpetuate this gospel legacy, showing the next generation who their true Savior is.
We do not live as consumers of divine goods, but as priests on duty offering God a sacrifice of praise. We will proclaim His excellencies for generations to come.
God loves the people of the world and has a strategy to reach them. God made peace between us and Himself and has entrusted us to bring the gospel to the world as ministers of His reconciliation.
Racism is rooted in sin and an affront to the "Imago Dei" established by God in humanity. The only antidote to our checkered past and our broken present is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe and declare that every human is made in the image of God and has dignity, value, and worth. We advocate for human life and see others not as commodities or enemies, but as God’s image bearers.
Jesus offers the abundant life. He desires for humans to flourish, and His people are His plan to that end. When trials come, Jesus' plan holds fast. He uses all things for our good and calls us to open-handed surrender.
Surveying the injustice before him, the prophet Habakkuk questions God. How can this evil persist with God on His throne? The Lord assures Habakkuk that a plan is in place and He is at work among His people.
The pronouncement of God’s glorious plan and the culmination of all His prophecies came first to the shepherds. His kingdom would be different and this great, scandalous exchange of death for life was first offered to the outcast.
Overcome with her new position as the mother of our Lord, Mary sings her Magnificat to God. She chooses worship over worry, humility over pride, and remembrance over forgetfulness, modeling to us the path of ever-increasing joy.
It can be easy to think that Jesus showed up “all of a sudden” to be Messiah, perform miracles, die, and resurrect, but He has always been. He is the eternal, active agent holding all things together by the Word of His power. He was with God from the beginning, and, even in the womb, He was Lord.
As we read and recount the story of Christmas, it is apparent that God chooses the meek and the lowly to be recipients of His blessing. He uses the most unexpected people to set in motion the most extraordinary story ever told.
Ninety percent of our culture’s current messaging is bent to the negative, culminating in an “age of anxiety.” But God offers us a joy detached from life’s circumstances and a peace that holds and guards us forever.
We are passionate and intentional about lost people coming to faith in Jesus and churches being planted in the cities of greatest need. This weekend we commissioned the Youngs to go plant a church in west Fort Worth, Texas.
Because of Christ, we regard no one according to their flesh, but see God’s image in them. As ministers of reconciliation, we must never forget that His arms are not too short to save whomever He wishes.
Jesus is referred to as “Lord” in Scripture 750 times. It is His most frequent title and His most subversive. In the Roman empire, Christians resisted Caesar’s perverse “family values” and instead lived by countercultural ethics and morals, recognizing Jesus “is the head of all rule and authority.”

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!
