Friendship is the lost art of Christian marriage. There isn’t a greater love than someone laying down their life for a friend. In John 15, Christ gives us a unique command, calls us to a new kind of relationship, and demonstrates the greatest form of love.
Marriage is an imperfect picture of Christ and His Church. Wives are to respect and encourage their husbands and husbands are to love and build up their wives. The woman does it imperfectly as the church does it imperfectly. And the husband has no chance compared to the perfect love of Jesus Christ.
1From the beginning, God’s design for human union came through the partnership and picture of marriage. Through the subordination of their own desires, the man and woman image Christ to each other and push back the darkness in the culture at large.
In defiance of death, Christ rose from the grave and imparted life to all who believe. He has reanimated our hearts with abundant life, fullness of joy, and pleasures forevermore.
God loves everybody. He can save anybody. He can use everybody. He is always working, and you can trust Him. Jesus longs to meet you, use you for His glory, and bless you beyond measure.
We are fully known and fully loved by our God. He calls us His children, priests, heirs, friends, His workmanship, and the chosen citizens of heaven. In full knowledge of our best and worst moments, God pours out His love on us and calls us saints.
The Word of the Lord is sweeter than honey and more precious than gold. If any of us lacks wisdom, His Word says to ask for it, and He will give. Whoever hears His words and does them belongs to God and builds their house on the Rock.
The current state of our building project is a great picture of the believer’s life. Exciting progress is evident, but it still looks a little busted up. But we are sold out to the legacy we leave, knowing He who began this great work is faithful to complete it. Whether physical venues of worship...
Christ, the Great High Priest, sat down with the Father because He finished the work of sacrifice forever. So we lift our eyes to Him. We remember our story is a part of the greater story and we run, laying aside sin and lesser loves for His glory.
Our long journey home to the Father is an ever-expanding love and allegiance to Him. We give all of life for all of life—our actions, thoughts, money, relationships, careers, and even our imaginations—for the sake of God’s mission. We exist to love God, love people, and make disciples of Jesus Ch...
We live in a moment of history that is outraged, anxious, and divided. There are cultural, political, and spiritual realities at play that are unique to our moment. God has placed us at this point in His story; what will we do? How will we respond?
Three stories are unfolding: your story, our story, and The Story. God has uniquely wired you and called you to a specific place and time so that you might take part in this grand story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.
The lineage of Jesus shows us that His kingdom would be unlike any other. Through Christ, the dividing wall of hostility was torn down. We once retreated to the safety of homogeny. But Christ has brought together people from every tribe, tongue, and nation into a blessed unity.
He, the Author and Sustainer of life, made us in His image. Humans, regardless of ethnicity, health, wealth, age, abilities, and place in history are equal in their value and honor as image bearers. May we be a community of life illuminating the darkness for the Glory of God and our joy.
Christ is the door to freedom. He is the good shepherd, finding His own and guiding them through the door. Those who came before Him were thieves and liars. They peddled false gospels and murderous ideologies. Christ arrived with protection and care. He offered a clear way, a steadfast truth, and...
The cycle of self-improvement and failure persists because we cannot save ourselves. The salvation we need is outside our grasp unless we are reaching for Jesus.
The Creator of all things condescended and put on flesh. He came not for our condemnation but for our salvation. He, the pervasive light, has pierced the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome Him.
Happiness and joy are not the same. Happiness can be snatched away in a moment, but joy has a resilience that withstands the hurt and disappointment of the world. We remember God’s good works, bring to Him our heart’s desires, and embrace His future hope which leads to a deepening of joy.
We pray for the things that we love. The night Jesus was arrested, He prayed to the Father for His disciples in front of Him, and those who would come after—us. Christ’s glorious love broke into our loveless world, drawing us in that we might go out and love gloriously.

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!
