Podcasts about church matters

Does the Church still matter? With so many stories of hypocrisy, scandal, and disappointment, more people than ever are asking that question. But despite its flaws, Jesus hasn't given up on His Church, and neither should we. If you've stepped away from church—or if someone you love has—this episode is for you. In this first message of the Church Matters series, Bucky opens Matthew 16 to explain why the Church is just as relevant today as ever. You'll learn how the biblical definition of the Church reveals its identity, foundation, and purpose. Discover why the Church is still God's plan for reaching a broken world—and how you fit into that plan.

“Primary nonadherence”—receiving a prescription but never filling it—isn't just a medical problem; it's a spiritual one. Many gladly receive the diagnosis (“I need Jesus”) but quietly skip the prescription: belonging to an actual, gathered, imperfect local church. Join us as we open 1 Timothy 3:14–16 and explore why the church is God's household, the assembly of the living God, and the pillar and foundation of the truth—and why you can't love Jesus while ignoring his church.The church...1) Who we are2) How we live3) What we confessText: 1 Timothy 3:14-16

Clip of the Week-"Church Matters: Campmeeting" Board Number One As Camp Meeting approaches, Bro. Jeff Price takes a closer look at the history, purpose, and spiritual significance of one of the most important traditions in the life of the church. From its origins in early American Christianity to its role in strengthening fellowship, unity, and worship among God's people today, this episode serves as both an encouragement and a call to intentional preparation. Bro. Jeff discusses how each believer contributes to the atmosphere of Camp Meeting through worship, testimonies, prayer, and daily conduct, reminding us that this gathering is far more than a social event. It's an opportunity to build up the kingdom of God together. Whether you're a longtime attendee or preparing to experience Camp Meeting in a fresh way, this episode will inspire you to come with purpose, pray with expectation, and engage wholeheartedly in what God desires to accomplish among His people. – Board Number One  

Clip of the Week-"Church Matters: Episode 6, Sanctification" Board Number One Is sanctification just another word for salvation, or is it something more? Join Bro. Jeff Price and Bro. Brian Collier as they explore what the Bible teaches about the life-changing work of sanctification. Through Scripture and personal testimony, they explore what it means to be set apart for God, why sanctification is a distinct work of grace, and how God's power not only transforms the heart but also enables believers to live a holy life. Whether you're new to these concepts or have studied them for years, this episode will challenge you to think deeply about what it truly means to be made new in Christ and to grow in His likeness every day. – Board Number One

Continuing our series in Ephesians, Joshijah speaks on Ephesians 3:10-13, walking us through God's design for a diverse, multicolored church here in Jonesboro as in Heaven.

Clip of the Week-"Church Matters: Episode 5, Repentance" Board Number One In this episode of Church Matters, Bro. Jeff takes a clear, Bible-centered look at repentance—what it really is, why it's indispensable, and how it fits into God's plan of salvation. Drawing from Psalm 51, the preaching of John the Baptist, and the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, he explores repentance as both a turning from sin and a cleansing work that only God can accomplish in our hearts. We pray this episode helps you examine your own walk with the Lord and deepen your understanding of true, Biblical repentance.

As David Platt asks, why go to a physical gathering of the church on a Sunday morning? After all, isn't it easier to just watch a service online (as Kent Hughes suggests) or download a sermon podcast? Or just read your Bible and pray by yourself? In this study of 1 Timothy 3:14-16, we examine three reasons why the church matters: because God has a vision for the church, because church is more than a service, and because the church possesses the Truth that can transform us.February 15, 2026Helpful resources that shaped and influenced this sermon: The Message of 1 Timothy & Titus by John Stott; 1 Timothy by Philip Graham Ryken; 1-2 Timothy & Titus by R.

More and more people see the institutional church as less and less relevant to their daily lives. But when the people of the church become the hands and feet of Jesus serving their community, maybe others will see and believe the church matters.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
