The Homestead

Sunday June 1, 2025: In this teaching, Pastor Matt explores the powerful tension between personal responsibility and divine empowerment. Are we supposed to add to our lives as 2 Peter teaches? Absolutely—but not through striving and self-effort. The good news is, grace has already deposited everything we need. Our role is to partner with the Holy Spirit and draw out what's already been placed within us. Its not either/or. It's both/and.

Sunday May 25, 2025: Pastor Matt continues our look at Isaiah 35's promise and explores the narrative when Jesus meets a grieving widow on the road outside the city. Where sorrow and death are interrupted by the life of the Beloved Son. Isaiah 35 comes alive as the wilderness begins to bloom and hope meets us in our dry places.

Sunday May 11, 2025: Pastor Matt continues teaching on the assurance and glory availed only in the wilderness. As sons and daughters we no longer see the wilderness through any other lens except that exclusively of the Father's jealousy for us. A jealousy to establish, root, and build a land of promise; first in us and secondly around us. 

Sunday May 4, 2025: Religion has hijacked the concept of the wilderness and has caused us to see it exclusively through the lens of God's test and/or His displeasure, when it was in-fact the spirit that led Jesus into the wilderness. As sons and daughters we see the wilderness not as the hard part that qualifies us for a promise land, but rather, as the blank canvas of raw potential to create in union with Abba Himself.We don't run from the wilderness, instead, we get seated in assurance to see an Isaiah 35 promise fulfilled in our lives.

Sunday April 27, 2025: Pastor Matt uses narratives of Jesus encountering two disciples on the road who knew so much about Him yet did not recognize him, as well as, Jesus' parents at 12 losing him while they assumed he was somewhere in the crowd. How much of our journeys have we spent on the parades, the entourages, and the conversations; all the while missing His invitation to know Him face-to-face?

Sunday April 20, 2025: Pastor Matt teaches Easter Sunday on where Abba was during Christ's crucifixion. While religion's impoverished legalistic lens caused us to believe He was turning His back on the son so He wouldn't turn His back on us, the reality is so much better than we could have ever dreamed. 

Sunday April 13, 2025: Pastor Matt teaches from the familiar narrative of Jericho's walls falling, but from the lens of joyful waiting. Waiting in our culture has always been seen as a test, proving to God we're worth a breakthrough, or earning our blessings; when in fact the waiting is about our hearts being braided to Abba's. When you're in a season called "waiting", see it through the lens of sonship and allow His joy to infuse strength.

April 6, 2025: Pastor Matt teaches the significant distinction between how slaves pray compared to how sons do. Sons, even in a moment of what appears as not enough, are so convinced of Abba's care they soak their prayers in gratitude and expectation. What would our prayer lives look like if we saw all the waiting through the confident lens of sonship?

Sunday March 23, 2025: Pastor Matt shares our third installment in our look at Holy Spirit conquered thoughts, holy imaginations, and how crucial our minds thinking rightly about Abba truly is for our lives. How we think about God, and how we think of ourselves in Christ, sets the course for the where we go. Also, at the end of the message we stepped into a real power worship flow that is included in this podcast. We intentionally left it on here in hopes that the prophetic swirl of His goodness is as present wherever, and whenever, you listen as it was in that moment.

Sunday March 16th, 2025: Pastor Matt dives back in to our look at the creative glory we carry as sons of God. This teaching centers extensively around the understanding of how crucial it is that we think, imagine, about the father rightly and how our holy conquered imaginations form and frame the way we engage with God and create with Him.

Sunday March 9th, 2025: Pastor Matt, in the same vein as we've been for several weeks with our teaching on living our lives governed by Holy Spirit, shares on the significant authority we have to create. This creative glory, our holy imaginations, can be the most life giving recourse for our spiritual walk, or, a detrimental trap of anxiety when our thoughts are not framed by His. What will we see when our imaginations are conquered by His love?

Sunday March 2nd, 2025: Pastor Matt continues to teach on the lifestyle of being controlled and moved by the impulses of the spirit, and reviews the narrative of the woman at the well who encounters Jesus' invitation to living water. Deep within you is a well of gushing life waiting to be tapped.

Sunday February 26th, 2025: Pastor Matt teaches on what a people, a kingdom family, led by Holy Spirit is authentically called to be in the earth. In a culture where isolation and "our own thing with God" has become such common language, here we explore the glory only availalble when we gather together and surge the atmosphere with admiration and expectation. What does "one accord" really mean?

Sunday February 16, 2025: Pastor Matt opens a series on what it truly means to be a people led by the spirit. Not in expression or language alone, but truly a people of the wind surrendered to the Holy Spirit's lordship. His lordship seals, and sears, sonship upon our hearts and leads us into greater realms of glory as we break the box of "self" and surrender all to the spirit of God.

Will you partner with us?Isaiah 35 portrays a flourishing garden of joy emerging from a barren land, drawing nations to its radiant beauty.

Sunday February 2, 2025: Pastor Matt concludes our series on authentic kingdom vision, living to behold the beauty of Jesus and inherit His lens, and the fruit of seeing all of life through His perspective. In this final installment of the teaching, we journey through Romans 8 and glean the truth that the lens of sonship has been secured and our surrendering to the lordship of Holy Spirit is the empowerment to live from this seat.

Sunday January 26, 2025: Pastor Matt continues in our series on authentic kingdom vision, or seeing life exclusively through Christ's lens, and explores the inherited trust that follows our healed perspective of Abba. While religion made trusting in God a "thing" we are to muster up and flip on ourselves by our own might, we recognize that true immutable trust only comes when we see what Jesus himself sees.  Vision is the only gate to deep and immovable trust.

Sunday January 19th, 2025: In Part 5 of our series on authentic vision, Matt moves from our understanding of what vision is (Jesus' lens exclusively) into what actually is Christ's vision. He is our vision and His vision is union.

Sunday January 12, 2025: Pastor Matt continues our series on authentic kingdom vision, what true vision is, and the glory of more that is availed as we behold the beauty of Jesus and fully inherit His lens. This week, we look at Elisha's commitment to the process with Elijah and the double portion he received, not simply by serving, but through the inheritance of vision.

Sunday December 29th, 2024: As we end the calendar year, Pastor Matt continues our series on authentic vision, beholding the beauty of Jesus, and how as a prophetic people we must not allow the size of the cloud we see influence the greatness of rain we heard Him speak. This message began to impact hearts around the room as we moved into a prophetic swirl at the end of service.

Sunday December 22, 2024: Pastor Matt continues our series on authentic kingdom vision and the role we play in partnering with God to see His word established in the earth.  Our "yes", our surrender, creates the womb where the supernatural is birthed.

Sunday December 15, 2024: Pastor Matt begins a teaching series on authentic kingdom vision and how the only acceptable lens we are allowed, as spirit led people, to look through is Christ's. Vision is not a good five year plan overemphasized in the western church, but rather is beholding the beauty of Jesus and inheriting His perspective of The Father and what it means to live.

Sunday December 1, 2024: Pastor Matt teaches from Acts 3's narrative of Peter and John healing a paralyzed man, not by pointing him to a far off distant god, but rather by revealing His beauty and glory within their own gaze. When we recognize our Abba withholds nothing, and we divorce our attention from what seems to be lacking in our lives, we can fully steward what we truly have; King Jesus. You have all that you need.

Sunday November 10, 2024: Pastor Matt teaches on communion and the significance of seeing this practice, not as a simple symbolic ritual, but rather, as a daily acknowledgement of our lives mirrored in Christ. More than a cup and a cracker it is an invitation to witness our inclusion in perfect union every time we break bread. Communion is the lifestyle of the kingdom.

Sunday November 3, 2024: Pastor Matt shares once again from Romans 8, and the significance of being led by Holy Spirit, and uses Mark 4 and 5 as a picture of what awaits us as we venture into new days, challenges, and storms with the lens of beloved identity.  Even the storms He does not originate, He weaves for glory in our lives. We are in a Mark 4 into Mark 5 day, a crossing over, and it is imperative that we see each moment through the lens of Abba's love.

Sunday October 27,2024: Pastor Matt picks up where we left off the previous Sunday with our teaching on being led by Holy Spirit impulses and the significance of a people willing to be governed by unseen realities rather than those seen. We look at two blind men willing to follow Jesus at all costs and the beauty of crossing over what religion calls a line, but Abba calls a threshold. We are crossing over. *NOTE* We apologize for the poor audio on this recording.

Sunday October 20, 2024: Pastor Matt uses Matthew's gospel narrative of the two blind men following after Jesus, in tandem with Romans 8, and teaches on the surrendered and led life of the kingdom. During this teaching, Holy Spirit began to highlight and aim His attention on the orphan spirit, and halts the service in the most glorious way as hearts were one by one being ravished by the love of Abba.

Sunday October 13, 2024: Pastor Matt teaches from 2 Samuel and David's journey of returning the Ark of The Lord back to the temple. We see through the lens of Jesus the immense value and responsibility we share to rearrange our world for the depths of presence we are encountering. As God pours out new wine may we be willing to adjust our worlds in order to have more of Him.

Sunday October 6, 2024:  Pastor Matt teaches the fourth, and final, installment of our series on Galatians with an honest look at the "how to" of expelling the mocking voice of religion. Using Pslams 77 we see this thought pattern in real time and what it means to turn to Holy Spirit's lordship in order to walk in the freedom of sonship.

Sunday September 29, 2024: Pastor Matt dives once again into Paul's letter to the Galatians and the gospel of Jesus (grace) overcoming that of the law (works).  In this message, we look at a life truly, and fully, led by Holy Spirit and the fruit that avails to every facet of our lives.

Sunday September 15, 2024: Pastor Matt shares part 2 of our dive into Galatians and Paul's aggressive language against a false gospel that mixes law and grace.  This week we look specifically at the necessary process within our hearts of expelling the slave woman (the Law) and her son (self-effort) in order to truly inherit the life of sonship and liberty we are created for.

Sunday September 8, 2024: Pastor Matt begins our dive into Paul's letter to the Galations and the necessary end of mixing law and grace.  Paul is clear in his message, as we must be today, a Jesus + something gospel is a non-gospel and if we are to truly become the light of the world we must see grace for what it really is, a Holy Spirit empowerment.

Sunday August 25, 2024: Jamal shares an exegetical look through Paul's letter to the Ephesians and gleans present truths of worship, gratitude, praise, and perspective necessary for a house of worship.

Sunday August 18, 2024: Pastor Matt shares part 3 of our teaching on God's pure light and the necessary process that moves us from exposure to immersion in marvelous light. Using the narrative of Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus, we see the beauty of His light "blinding" us from seeing where we are going and the immovable trust that becomes the fruit of yielding.

Sunday Aug. 11th, 2024:  Pastor Matt continues the teaching from John's letter proclaiming that "God is pure light and in Him there is not even a trace of darkness..", and the necessary role Holy Spirit plays in our lives as we navigate the tension found in challenging days.  The reality is we will all come face to face with a moment that could potentially paint Him as something other than good, and while religion has no answer for this tension, Holy Spirit longs to usher us into and through these moments of discovering who HE really is. He is pure light.

Sunday August 4th, 2024: Pastor Matt begins a teaching on light and the crucial theological understanding that the Apostle John writes about when he says "..He is pure light and in Him there is no trace of darkness whatsoever..".  When we see Him in His pure light, and we know Christ is the authentic light of the world, we can finally begin to shine His light within us into the darkness around us.  He is the light of the world, therefore we are the light of the world.

Saturday July 20th, 2024: Pastor Matt shares in depth on the significant grace released in our daily lives and how crucial it is for our hearts to remain present in His goodness which conquers our tendency of anxiety.  Give us this day our daily bread.

Sunday July 14, 2024: Pastor Matt shares on partnering with Holy Spirit in prayer and how Christ's model prayer for us, empowered with Holy Spirit, moves us from prayer being "wishful requests" to targeted expectation.  

Sunday July 7th, 2024: Pastor Matt teaches, using the 10 day gap between Luke 24 and Acts 2, to share on the challenging, pressing, forging, and beautifully necessary season called waiting.  The wait is not a test from God to see who is "worthy", but rather, is His goodness not giving what we are not ready to hold.  His love is using the season called "not yet" to establish within you a capacity for more.

Sunday June 30th, 2024:  Pastor Matt continues our series on creating with Holy Spirit and looks at the importance of unity, and being together, when it comes to cultivating an atmosphere of breakthrough and glory.  Unity doesn't mean we all agree on everything, it means we stand together on the ONE THING that matters, exalting the name of Jesus.  

Sunday June 16, 2024:  Pastor Matt continues our series on creating with Holy Spirit and uses a look at Old Testament prophecies of Jesus' coming to illustrate that as carriers of promise, carriers of glory, we must understand the progression of the prophetic.  Rather than chasing the "next" word, let us honor and steward the current one.

Sunday June 9th. 2024: Pastor Matt continues his series on creating and cultivating in partnership with the Holy Spirit.  In Part 2 we look at how we are to partner and mix our faith with grace's declaration that all we need has already been deposited into our accounts.

Sunday June 2, 2024: Pastor Matt begins a new series on creating and cultivating in partnership with Holy Spirit.  In part 1, he lays crucial groundwork in building the foundational understanding that as image bearers we have the ability, and responsibility, to align every moment and thought to the kingdom reality, and to see every facet of our lives receive the flow of glory that follows.

Sunday Morning 5.19.2024: Pastor Nick teaches on a life settled in authentic biblical hope and how our Holy Spirit authors true expectant hope within us.

Sunday 5.12.2024: Pastor Matt shares the third installment of our teaching of Colossians and explores the life giving fruit available in our lives NOW as we see our lives established and rooted in Him.

Sunday May 5th, 2024:  Pastor Matt continues in our journey through Colossians and explores the beauty of our lives being hidden away in God in Christ.

Sunday Morning: April 28, 2024:  Pastor Nick picks up right where he left off in his previous teaching on living grateful and content for all Abba is doing in our lives, while aways remaining in an authentic place of expectation for all that is to come.

Sunday April 21, 2024: Pastor Matt begins a series through Paul's writing to the church of Colossi and explores the depth of transformation we experience as we fully yield to the complete work of Jesus to include us in the perfect fellowship with The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  As we liberate our minds from the legal lens of religion, we inherit a true understanding of what Christ has made available to all of us and we begin to bare the image we were designed for.

Sunday Morning April 14, 2024:  Pastor Matt teaches on the tension between knowing our beloved identity and not allowing what is happening regularly in our lives to become common.  We learn in this message, however, our first love passion is not "up to us" to fight for, but rather is a grace we yield to as we drink deep of His unending goodness.

Sunday April 7th, 2024: Pastor Matt highlights the narrative of Elisha's transition into his inheritance, as a faithful son to Elijah, and the significance of of a heart resolved to never stop short of all God has promised.  We were born for more.

Easter Sunday March 31, 2024: Pastor Matt shares on the crucial theological truth that Jesus is the exact image of The Father and when our hearts are fully baptized in love we, like Peter, we run towards God when Adam hid from Him.  Jesus did not come separate from The Father, but rather was the enfleshment of their union and fully welcomed us into their fellowship.
