Bible Series- Matthew
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Grab your notebooks and lean forward because this message unpacks the entire book of Matthew through three key themes. Matthew demonstrates that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, He establishes a new kingdom, and Jesus is more significant than Moses. These ideas were both radical and politically challenging for the time. Jesus came to do all three, but in ways no one expected. Jesus came to conquer death itself- a much bigger evil than kings, empires, and man. Matthew ends his gospel with an invitation to join this "upside down" revolution and enter into the "co-mission" of Jesus called The Great Commission. That invitation is here for all of us today!

Nehemiah
Monday Jul 17, 2023
Monday Jul 17, 2023
In this episode, we talk about the book of Nehemiah. It tells us the story of Nehemiah who was convicted about the mission that God gave him. He first had the courage to remind his people that they were stuck. “Here is horrible, and we can’t afford to stay here, in horrible.” Then Nehemiah challenged, encouraged, gave focus, sacrificial commitment, and rallied the people to work together for a common purpose. He experienced backlash from their enemies, but they stayed united. As a result, the people’s civil revival led to a spiritual revival, and their lives were transformed. What would it look like if we were obedient to God’s purpose and mission for our own lives?
