Just us Easter Sunday as Pastor Mat talks about a letter that was written just for YOU. A letter that was written in blood by the pierced hands of our Savior, you don't want to miss this episode.
Pastor Mat explains why true strength is found in giving your life away to others.

Pastor Mat shares on the importance of praising the Lord more in the new year and trusting more in the power of God.
Why do some people who seek Jesus find Him and others don't? Pastor Mat looks at several reactions to the birth of Christ, and who end up worshipping Him and who do not.
Pastor Mat looks at the many ways people "make room" for Jesus -- but not in their hearts. How about you?
Pastor Mat takes us through the account of Daniel in the lion's den. The enemies of God tried to find a way to have the king execute Daniel, but even as they were plotting his doom, the Lord was orchestrating theirs. The Lord looks after us, as well. And we learn that if Daniel could live for God in Babylon, we can live lives that glorify Jesus even in our ungodly world.
Here in Romans 8, the Apostle Paul addresses three groups: the unsaved person, the saved but carnal person, and the spirit-filled person. How do we know if we are a believer walking after the flesh or the Spirit? Pastor Mat reminds us that as Christians we have not only been delivered from the penalty of sin, but also the power of sin. How should this affect us in our daily walk?
The service begins with a short testimony and teaching from a man whom Pastor Mat credits with playing a pivotal role in his own start in the ministry.Then Pastor Mat gives his view of a very controversial portion of Revelation 11, dealing with the Two Witnesses. Is Scripture talking about two literal prophets? Or is it possible that the olive trees and candlesticks are millions of people in two biblical groups of believers?
Do we really know Jesus? That's the eternal question. It's not whether we practice a religion; it's do we have a personal relationship with Jesus. In this message, Pastor Mat explains that all the Old Testament sacrifices point to Jesus, the Lamb of God. Only His sacrifice is able to take away our sin. And in doing so, He made a way for us back into God's presence to make possible that personal relationship that He wants us to have with Him.
Most of us have heard the expression: "the handwriting is on the wall" -- meaning something dire is about to happen. In this study in Daniel, Pastor Mat looks at the origin of that idiom, from an event in the life of King Belshazzar. We also look at the consequences of worshipping the Living God plus anything or anyone else. Finally, we get reassurance that God is in control -- even when He allows evil people to temporarily rule in the world.
In this stirring message, Pastor Mat reminds us that no matter what we may have to endure in this life, if we are believers in Christ ultimately...WE WIN!The Apostle John's vision continues as he sees a mighty angel, standing with one foot on land and one on the sea. In his hand is a little book. A voice from heaven instructs John to take the book and then eat it. In his mouth it is sweet, but in his belly it is bitter. What is this book? Why is it both bitter and sweet?
The LORD has His ways of showing people that He is God...and we are not. In his own words in Daniel 4, King Nebuchadnezzar shares his harrowing story of how God brought him to a place of finally acknowledging the Supreme King of the Universe. Pastor Mat points out that his testimony is a lesson to all of us: if we are humble and honest with God, He won't have to cut us down like He did Nebuchadnezzar.
From the illustration of God's law concerning marriage, the Apostle Paul teaches that we were once all "married" to sin, but are now free to be united to Jesus Christ. Pastor Mat points out the resulting conflict between the two natures and how we can choose to follow the new nature. He also addresses the question of whether or not we need to be experientially perfect before serving God.
Pastor Mat tackles a difficult portion of Scripture dealing with the fifth and sixth Trumpet Judgements. Who is the star that falls from heaven and opens the bottomless pit? And how can a pit be bottomless? Are the locusts that are released insects or something even more sinister? Who is on the earth at this time? It's a exciting study on some dire events.
Most people would recoil at the thought of being a slave. Yet the Bible makes it clear ALL of us are slaves -- either to the devil or to God. Here in Romans 6, Paul tells us we have been freed from slavery to sin, and now have the privilege of being a slave to Jesus and righteousness. What does that mean? Pastor Mat addresses that and also points out the difference between the fruit of slavery to sin and slavery to God.
Is the book of Revelation meant to be understood in chronological order? Do the various judgments happen separately, or do they overlap? These are some questions Pastor Mat deals with as we continue our series in Revelation with Chapter 8, and the first four of the trumpet judgments.
Should believers continue sinning because God loves to forgive sin?Pastor Mat looks at what it really means to be "dead to sin" and how we can reckon - or consider - ourselves to be that way.
King Nebuchadnezzar's dream sets the stage for a contest between the wisdom, philosophy, and gods of this world and the Living God. Daniel's life was in danger because of it, but he knew where to go for help.Where do we run for help? Do we run to the world's wisdom before we run to the Lord?Pastor Mat continues this series in Daniel, looking at how we can live for Jesus in the midst of our "Babylon."
Five times in this passages of Romans we read the words "much more..." Pastor Mat looks at the truth that the Apostle Paul is clearly emphasizing. One sin has made all mankind an enemy of God. What has He done to reconcile us back to Him? And if God's done His part, will we do ours?
Pastor Mat looks at the techniques used by the ancient Babylonians to try to brainwash Daniel and the other Israelites during the Babylonian Captivity, in order to conform them to the Chaldean worship and lifestyle. Then he looks at the pressure on believers in Christ to conform to the current "Babylonian" worldview today. How did Daniel resist -- and how do we?
Pastor Mat shows us how Jesus made it possible for us to have peace with God.
Pastor Mat takes us through the first six of seven seals of judgment to come at the end of the age.
Pastor Mat teaches on one of his favorite Psalms. This song of David's extols our omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (everywhere present) God. He made us; He knows everything about us; and yet He still loves us.
In this chapter, the Apostle Paul gives the Jewish element in the church a Bible study on salvation by grace and faith, not by works. Pastor Mat also explains what is meant when Scripture says God calls things that are not as though they are.
Pastor Mat begins this study with a look at what the Prophet Daniel refers to when he writes about the "seventy weeks of years," in Daniel 9. Then we move on to Revelation, where we begin looking at the first two Seals broken by the Lamb.
In this encouraging study, Pastor Mat looks at the depths of the love of God and reminds us that we can have as much of the Lord as we want if we'll just let Him in. We also look at the Apostle Paul's prayer - which serves as an excellent model for us when praying for ourselves and others.
Here, Scripture declares that God is the God of everyone -- Jew and Gentile alike. And although we are all sinners and He is a Righteous Judge, He still offers justification to all through His Son. Pastor Mat points out how God can be both Just and Justifier.
The Apostle John sees in heaven a Book with seven seals and hears an angel ask: Who is worthy to break the seals and open the book? What is this book? Why is it sealed seven times? Why does John weep when he thinks no one can open it? And who is worthy to break the seals and open this book? Pastor Mat looks at all this and also why Jesus is pictured as BOTH a Lion and a Lamb.
Drawing from this Psalm and the life of King Hezekiah, Pastor Mat points out that God shows up when we get into a tight spot. He gives us grace for the moment -- when we need it. Sometimes, however, we must roll out that need before Him.
As we continue in the Book of Revelation, Pastor Mat takes us through the heavenly scene to which John becomes a witness in Chapter Four. We also learn the glorious truth about why God created all things.
All mankind has God's Law -- not just on tablets of stone, but written on our hearts. Pastor Mat points out why this has eternal consequences.
Pastor Mat points out that we cannot always judge the blessing of God by earthly blessings. This was the problem with the Laodicean church. They were well-off materially and so believed they were well-off spiritually. But they were fakers; there was never any real change, any conviction in their lives. They didn't even know they were lukewarm spiritually. How does that happen?
