Send us a textGUEST: MATT MACARTHUR, eldest son of Pastor John MacArthurThere are several common terms for the ceremony that takes place after death—funeral, celebration of life, memorial service. You can tell a lot about the deceased by the manner and mood of their service. Some are focused on how accomplished and full of good works the person was. Others are about happy memories and photos. Still others are like a dirge, full of grief over the loss.The Bible says, “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep [dead], so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).To be sure, there should be grief over the loss of a loved one, for we will never see or speak to that person again in this life. Jesus Himself wept when seeing the family and friends of Lazarus lament over his death, not because they wouldn't see him again (He was about to raise him from the grave) but because death is the ultimate enemy and reality of our sin-corrupted world.But the passage above says believers shouldn't “grieve as do the rest who have no hope” because of the promise that God will bring true believers into His presence in heaven to live for eternity, where there is no sin, pain, or death.This is why for the believer the service following death should largely focus on the greatness of God and how He brings the believer into an infinitely better eternity. Instead of a memorializing or celebrating this life, it really should be a worship service of God for this life, and even more, the next.I attended the memorial service for pastor John MacArthur this past weekend at Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, MacArthur went to heaven back on July 14 at age 86 after nearly three years of health problems.Outside my parents, MacArthur has had the most important influence on my life, through his preaching and character. So my older brother and I traveled to the church, as we have done many times over the years for the Shepherds' Conference, an annual convergence for men in ministry. Only this time, we wouldn't be hearing MacArthur preach. We would be hearing others praise God for the grace and gifting he showered on MacArthur's life and the eternal reward he is now receiving.Scripture was read by MacArthur recorded from a past sermon. John Piper offered a personal reflection. Alistair Begg prayed. Joni Eareckson Tada sang and spoke. MacArthur's two sons, Matt and Mark, offered personal perspectives. Sinclair Ferguson preached. Christ-exalting hymns were sung by the Gettys, soloists, choir, and congregation. It was two hours and forty-five minutes of worshiping God for the good work He did in the life and ministry of John MacArthur.MacArthur's eldest son Matt joins us today on the program. Matt and his wife have been married for 40 years and are the parents of three adult children and grandparents of seven. He works in the investment management business and also serves as the president of Grace to You. Matt will offer unique insight into his dad and what the family was aiming to accomplish in the service.---------------------------------Watch John MacArthur's Memorial ServiceJohn MacArthur biography by Iain Murray

Ever heard of the phrase sotto voce? It literally means "under the voice". In music, literature, and stage, it is meant to accentuate something by making it much quieter. An example is Mozart's Requiem: Lacrimosa. where the dynamic expansions are quite dramatic to fit the lyrics. For the disciple, we are meant to use our voice - and with the integrity of a life of humility and repentance - draw attention to the beauty of re-creaction that God is doing in our lives. Listen in on this lively podcast on resetting our voice! ▶️ Nate's Message on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/ytp4e3df
Don't miss this week's message with Women's Ministry Director, Teresa Breeding.
The days between the ascension of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and disciples were significant in the history of church and remain so for us today. These days show us the importance of obedience and prayer, the necessity of Scripture being fulfilled, and the provision that Christ makes for his church to be his witnesses. We gain instruction and encouragement from these things. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

In 1978, United Airlines Flight 173 was completing its flight and landing in Portland, OR. When the landing gear was lowered the crew heard a very loud "thunk" and the plane began to noticeably yaw. The captain feared improper landing gear engagement and ordered termination of intended landing to circle back and come up with another plan. Unfortunately, the crew did not check fuel status and the plane ran out of fuel, stalling, crashing, and killing 11 people. The lesson? Pay attention to a safe landing, but mitigate problems associated with that by NOT forgetting what's keeping you in the air in the first place. Landing is important. Fuel is MORE important. Similarly, we need to keep proper focus in our lives. Nate is preaching on the subject of RESET, taking things back to the MORE important instead of inappropriate attention to the merely important. Keep your eyes on this series ... and fly safe!▶️ Nate's Message on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/ytp4e3df

Before Jesus ascended into heaven, he commissioned his apostles concerning their work in the world. Knowing that they were inadequate in themselves for this work, Jesus promised them the Holy Spirit, who would give them power. He promised that they would fulfill their call to be his witnesses. And he promised to return and bring the work to a final and victorious end. These promises are true for the church today, and they give us the confidence we need to faithfully continue on.

One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching.

After the passing of John MacArthur, the big question becomes, “What will the transition look like at his various ministries?” MacArthur was the Lead Pastor of Grace Community Church and the Chancellor of the Master's Seminary. What's going to happen there? This then raises another question: “What's it going to look like when the Boomer generation Pastors exit their pulpits and positions and the next generation comes in. What does it look like to transition church leadership well? That's the topic of this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted. Copyright 2025. For more information, please visit SaltyBeliever.com.

This week Scott and Josh discuss the way that Christians can sometimes “bypass” the apostles, and neglect to treat their teaching, handed to them by Jesus, as the foundation of the Church that God chose them to be.

All our hope is in Jesus. We trust him for salvation, follow him as Lord, and live in union with him. Jesus is the cornerstone, and his chosen apostles laid the foundation of truth on which the household of God is built. Today, from Acts 1, we see what Jesus did to prepare his apostles before he ascended into heaven. We come to faith in Jesus and enter the kingdom of God through their witness of him.

One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching.

John MacArthur, longtime pastor of Grace Community Church in California, passed away on July 14, 2025. MacArthur preached in the same pulpit for 56 years. His recorded sermons and syndicated radio and television programs brought the gospel to people all over the world, and his writings impacted many more. On this episode, we discuss MacArthur's legacy, the impact of his ministry, where we disagree with him, and the gaps his death leaves behind.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: Patrick and Renee Got Us a Kringle!(2:25) John MacArthur's Obituary(8:34) John's Life and Ministry(19:27) Where We Disagree with MacArthur (and Commend Him)(25:38) Who Are the Next Generation of Stalwart Preachers?

The stats are staggering: 48.5 million (16.7%) Americans (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in the past year. 20.4 million American adults (7.9%) suffered from both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder, or co-occurring disorders in the past year. The total cost to Americans in lost wages and means of coping and adjusting is a staggering $740 billion (that's with a B!) ... with some saying that's too conservative! This says nothing of the exponential cost we pay daily in emotion, mental, and spiritual capital. What's the answer? The Gospel, of course. Only Jesus says to humanity: "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (Jn 8:36). But freedom doesn't come at bargain prices. It will cost your pride, your thinking, your assumptions ... and for Jesus it cost him his life. But freedom can be found!

In this powerful episode of the Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with father-and-son evangelists Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle, the voices behind Give Me an Answer and leaders at Grace Community Church in New Canaan, Connecticut. Cliffe, Senior Pastor and founder of Give Me an Answer, has spent decades engaging skeptics and truth-seekers on college campuses across the nation, from Harvard and Yale to Stanford and UCLA. With a background from Davidson College and Gordon-Conwell Seminary, Cliffe has dedicated his life to presenting the Gospel with boldness and clarity. Stuart, Assistant Pastor at Grace Community Church and co-host of Give Me an Answer, holds master’s degrees in Divinity and Mental Health/Marriage and Family from Gordon-Conwell. He partners with his father traveling to universities, leading family ministries, and offering Christian counseling, while also engaging in debates and online outreach. Together, we unpack their testimonies, their call to ministry, and the generational legacy of faith that God has written through their family. We discuss the growing hunger for holiness among young people, the influence of media on culture, the dangers of building life on fleeting feelings, and the hope of the Gospel in seasons of suffering. The Knechtles also share how to effectively share your faith and live out 1 Peter 3:15—“Always be prepared to give an answer…with gentleness and respect.” Finally, toward the end of today’s conversation, the gospel is so clearly presented and a prayer of salvation is offered to help you or someone you love take that first step in receiving the grace and forgiveness God so freely gives to become a child of The King! If you pray that prayer to receive Christ for the first time, or maybe to recommit your life to Him during this episode, know that all of heaven rejoices over you as a son or daughter of God. If that decision is made, we encourage you to share it with a pastor or trusted friend, get connected to a local church community, dive into God’s Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to shape your journey of spiritual formation.
EP 259: This week on Revival Town Podcast, we sit down with Jesse Bradley—former pro soccer player, pastor of Grace Community Church in Seattle, founder of Just Choose Hope, author, speaker, and chaplain. Jesse shares his powerful journey from living out his childhood dream as a professional athlete to nearly losing his life after taking a prescribed malaria medication while playing overseas.In this candid and hope-filled conversation, Jesse opens up about his decade-long road to recovery, the emotional toll of identity loss, and how God transformed his pain into purpose. From the soccer field to the pulpit, Jesse now equips others to cultivate “hope habits” that help them thrive—even in their darkest seasons.You'll be inspired by Jesse's testimony and motivated to choose hope no matter what you're facing.
The book of Acts opens with what Jesus began to do and teach while on earth. As it unfolds, we discover what Jesus continues to do on earth in these last days. Until Jesus returns, there will be no end to his activity, by his Spirit, through his church that proclaims in all the world what his apostles witnessed concerning him. Today, we open the book of Acts to see Jesus reigning in heaven and ruling on earth. Someday we will see him in the new heavens and new earth. Until them, let us continue in faithfulness to him.

One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching.
