Sunday August 10th, 2025: Everywhere Peter walked, the sick were healed—not because he chased glory, but because he lived in union with Jesus. The same is true for us. The aim isn't signs, wonders, or even influence—the aim is Him. But from that union, a glory follows… like holy residue on everything we touch.This week's message, Pastor Matt shares an invitation to stop striving for results and start abiding in Christ. When you do, there is a glory that follows.

Hope Church - Fort Worth, TX

Pastor Matt begins a new series called "The Financial Squeeze," addressing how believers should respond to financial pressure. He explains that society has been trained since the New Deal of the 1930s to look to government for bailouts rather than to God for help. The sermon's key perspective shift is: "God wants to use the pressure I experience financially to grow my dependence and faith in Him." Pastor Matt distinguishes between "burdens" (overwhelming difficulties we help each other with) and "loads" (personal responsibilities we must carry ourselves) from Galatians 6:2-5. Using 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12, he emphasizes that God designed hunger as a motivation beacon, stating "if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." Pastor Matt concludes with three practical applications: excel in your field, expand your responsibility, and endure the weight of your responsibility—all conditions for experiencing God's help during financial squeezes.

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Matthew-23_16-22-Woe-Unto-You-Blind-Guides.mp3 How are we to understand swearing, vows, and oaths? Didn't Jesus say not to swear at all? Yet Deuteronomy commands, “You shall fear only the Lord your God… and swear by His name.” How do we reconcile these texts? The Scribes and Pharisees embraced a loophole-laden system of vows — silly as children crossing their fingers, but deadly in its power to defraud. Listen as Pastor Matt unmasks the absurd logic and damning consequences of blind guides in high places — and points us to the only Shepherd who swore truthfully, kept every vow, and bore the covenant curse so His people could live in the unshakable light of His Kingdom.

Not to earn something, but to release what's already theirs in Christ.In this message, you'll be invited into a bold faith that doesn't wait for permission.

When trials befall us, we're often tempted to question God's goodness or power, and because we want an end to our pain, we try to figure out why God has allowed particular trials into our lives. We reason that if we can just understand what God is doing, we can work towards a way out of our suffering. I am so excited to share with you guys my conversation today with Pastor Matt Howell, as we discuss some profound questions about suffering. Pastor Matt grew up in Dallas, TX and graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2003. After graduation, he served as an intern with RUF at LSU for two years where he developed a heart for pastoral ministry and met and married his wife, Kathryn. After 11 years of being a campus minister with RUF, Matt now serves as a pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, in Memphis, Tennessee. While we can't know God's specific reasons for the trials that he allows into our lives, we do know that He has a big-picture purpose for the sufferings we endure.

In celebrating Hope Church's 47th anniversary, Pastor Matt examined the Biblical concept of generations and God's multi-generational plan. Using Psalm 145:4 as the theme verse, he presented five key truths: God has been unfolding His generational plan since creation (Genesis 1:27-28); He works through leadership transitions to continue leading His people forward; contribution to God's work is lifelong though roles change over time; older generations must train younger ones (Psalm 78:5-7); and everyone has a role in shaping future generations. Pastor Matt emphasized that God thinks on a grander scale than we do, seeing our lives in the context of His bigger picture. He illustrated how our lives can be divided into thirds—the first third focused on learning and preparing, the middle third on building and leading, and the final third on encouraging, praying, and finishing well. Regardless of our stage in life, we're called to pass on both the character of God (testimony) and the content of Scripture to those who follow us, fulfilling Acts 13:36 by serving God's purposes in our generation.

In this message from Ephesians 3, Pastor Matt Darby kicks off a two-week journey to reimagine what God can do—not just around us, but within us.This week, we unpack Paul's powerful prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21, a turning point in his letter to the Ephesians. Paul prays for believers to be:Strengthened with supernatural power through the Holy SpiritAnchored in the indwelling presence of ChristRooted in and overwhelmed by the incomprehensible love of JesusFilled with the fullness of GodToo often, we settle for being saved and stop short of living the abundant life. We get spiritually bored and start asking, "Is Jesus really enough?" Pastor Matt calls us to recapture the wonder of what God can do through a Spirit-empowered life.At New Beginnings, we're also stepping into a renewed commitment to prayer. Why? Because prayer is what positions us to engage, experience, and witness the immeasurable power of God. It's not about doing more for Him—it's about opening ourselves to receive more from Him.Let this message be an invitation to reimagine what your life, your home, and our church could look like if we were fully strengthened, indwelt, rooted, and filled with God Himself.“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think...” (Eph. 3:20)Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠
