A message from Pastor Matt!

Long before believers were called “Christians,” they were known as People of the Way—followers of Jesus whose lives reflected His movement in the world. This series walks through the book of Acts, exploring how the early church lived, served, and shared the gospel in a changing world. As we study their story, we're challenged to rediscover what it means to be the church today—faithful, united, and always on the move.

Jun 21st  | Fathers Day | Psalms 112 What kind of man are you becoming?In this powerful Father's Day message from Psalm 112, Pastor Matt Darby challenges men to consider the impact of their lives on their families, their faith, and future generations. God has strategically placed fathers and husbands to be a formative spiritual influence in the home, and the kind of man you are becoming matters more than you may realize.Psalm 112 paints a picture of the man who fears the Lord—a man whose heart is firm, whose leadership is steady, and whose life brings strength and blessing to those around him. Pastor Matt explores what it means to become an unshakable man: rooted in reverence for God, committed to shaping future generations, faithful in stewarding resources, steadfast in uncertain times, and marked by grace, mercy, and righteousness.Whether you feel confident in your role as a spiritual leader or burdened by past mistakes, this message offers hope and a reminder that it is never too late to begin walking closely with Jesus. God's grace is sufficient, and the direction of your life can change today.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 

Have you ever felt forgotten, abandoned, or distant from God? In this powerful Father's Day message, Pastor Matt shares a childhood story of being accidentally left behind during a family move—a moment that left him feeling alone, helpless, and forgotten. But that story becomes a doorway into a much greater truth: God is not a distant Father. He is the perfect Father who pursues, protects, adopts, and loves His children with relentless compassion. Through Scripture and personal stories of adoption, foster care, and fatherhood, this sermon reveals the heart of God from Genesis to the cross. Discover what it means to be chosen, accepted, and deeply loved—not because of what you've done, but because of who God is. If you've struggled to trust God because of painful experiences with earthly parents, this message offers healing, hope, and a fresh vision of the Father's love. Key Scriptures: • Genesis 1 • Psalm 68:5 • Psalm 103:13 • Matthew 6–7 • John 10:30 • Romans 5:8 • Galatians 4:4–7 • 1 John 3:1 • 1 John 4:19 In this message you'll discover: ✓ The biblical theme of God as Father ✓ What it means to be adopted into God's family ✓ How the cross demonstrates God's love ✓ Why your identity as a child of God changes everything ✓ How to experience a secure relationship with your Heavenly Father No matter your story, God's love is pursuing you. #FathersDay #GodTheFather #Adoption #ChristianSermon #Faith #Jesus #Gospel #IdentityInChrist #Hope #ChristianLiving

Pastor Matt speaks to us about how David tells us in the Psalms that some things that are easy to forget but so important to remember.

Pastor Matt continues our series on 1 Thessalonians, looking at the letter's final set of instructions concerning God's will for believers—namely that we would rejoice, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances.

In Part 6 of “Living and Giving the Gospel,” Matt Heard concludes his series by taking a deeper look at the beauty of not only sitting at the Gospel table with Jesus (living the Gospel), but also the privilege we have of inviting others to join us (giving the Gospel). Using the contrasting metaphors of a vending machine versus a dinner table, he encourages us to move from a transactional mindset when approaching God to a relational one, which shifts us from merely practicing religiosity to vibrantly pursuing a relationship with God. That, in turn, moves us from just urging people to adopt our religious practices to inviting them to join us as we pursue intimacy with Jesus and feast on the Good News at the Gospel table together. The very familiar verse of John 3:16 reveals four realities we must embrace for that to happen: the Love of God, the Son of God, Belief in God, and the Life of God. (06/21/2026)

In this bonus episode of the Sunday Extra podcast, Pastor Matt fills in some important context before the church moves into the second missionary journey in Acts 15. Specifically, he walks through the Jerusalem Council found in Acts 15:1-35, where a dispute arose after Jewish believers from Judea began teaching that circumcision according to the law of Moses was required for salvation. Paul and Barnabas strongly opposed this view, and the council — including Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and James — gathered to settle the matter. The council's conclusion was decisive: salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Jesus Christ — Jesus plus nothing. As Peter put it in Acts 15:11, "We believe that we will be saved through the grace of our Lord Jesus, just as they will." While Gentile believers were encouraged to avoid certain practices like food sacrificed to idols and sexual immorality, these were not requirements for salvation but practical steps meant to promote unity and fellowship between Jewish and Gentile believers.

A message from Pastor Matt!

We kicked off a new message series this week challenging us to spend the summer affecting those around us for Jesus!

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with Matt Chandler to explore the lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus. What happens after salvation? Why doesn't God instantly remove our struggles? And how is the Holy Spirit transforming us even when growth feels slow? Drawing from Scripture and the teachings of Jesus in the Beatitudes, Madi and Pastor Matt unpack how God transforms believers over time and what genuine spiritual growth actually looks like. They discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in shaping our character, why sanctification is both God's work and our cooperation, and how everyday moments become opportunities for God to make us more like Christ. If you've ever felt discouraged by your struggles, frustrated by slow growth, or wondered if you're truly changing, this conversation is a reminder that spiritual maturity isn't about perfection. It's about faithfully walking with Jesus and trusting Him to complete the work He started in you.   Stay you and stay true!   Topics we dive into: -Why am I still struggling with the same sins? -How do I know if I'm actually growing spiritually? -What is sanctification, and why does it feel so slow? -Can I be saved and still struggle? -How does the Holy Spirit actually change us? -What does it practically look like to become more like Jesus? AND SO MUCH MORE!   Helpful Resources: Becoming Like Jesus by Matt Chandler: https://a.co/d/05SqgKQ7 Dare To Be True by Madison Prewett Troutt: https://a.co/d/gdfpHX5 Stay True Website: https://www.staytruepodcast.com Stay True Merch: https://www.staytruepodcast.com/merch Brooklyn Bedding: Go to brooklynbedding.com and use my promo code STAYTRUE at checkout to get 30% off sitewide.

Listen in as Pastor Matt brings a daily scripture, encouragement and prayer just for you. Today's fresh catch comes from John 14:16.

Genesis 34 is one of the darker passages in Scripture. In this chapter, Dinah, Jacob's daughter, is defiled by Shechem. When Jacob's sons find out, they respond with deceit and violence, destroying Shechem and his people. So how does a passage like this apply to our lives today? Listen as Pastor Matt teaches how Jesus can redeem our monuments of shame and turn them into monuments of salvation.

A message from Pastor Matt!

June 7th, 2026 | Freedom | Galatians 5:16-25In this powerful message from the “Freedom” series, Pastor Matt Darby teaches through Galatians 5:16-25 and reveals the daily battle every believer faces between the flesh and the Spirit. While many Christians feel trapped in cycles of defeat, this message reminds us that struggle is not a sign of failure—it's evidence that the Spirit of God is alive and at work within us.Pastor Matt explains that freedom in Christ is not achieved through willpower or trying harder, but through surrendering daily to the Holy Spirit. As believers walk by the Spirit, they experience the transforming work of God producing the character of Jesus in their lives—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, self-control, and more.This teaching also offers practical encouragement for overcoming sin by cultivating intimacy with God, feeding the Spirit instead of the flesh, and responding quickly to the conviction and leading of the Holy Spirit. If you've ever wrestled with temptation, frustration, or spiritual exhaustion, this message is a reminder that victory is possible and true freedom is found through a moment-by-moment relationship with Jesus.

Pastor Matt kicks off the summer in a new series, diving into the story of Nehemiah. Nehemiah's heart was never really about a wall or a building. When he prayed, he reminded God of His own promise, the word He had given through Moses. If My people return to Me, I will gather them and bring them to the place I have chosen to make My name dwell there. Nehemiah was asking God to do the very thing God had already said He longed to do - to dwell with His people. This desire runs like a thread through the whole Bible, and it's the heart cry of Big House Church. God, come and dwell in us and with us!Big House Church is cultivating a community of passionate worshippers who partner with Jesus to create a kingdom culture on earth as it is in heaven. We meet regularly at 9 & 11 AM at The Zeider Theater in Virginia Beach, VA. For more information, go to www.bighousechurch.com.

Pastor Matt continues our series on 1 Thessalonians today, looking at the letter's final bit of instruction, seeing how we are to relate to those in charge—with love, respect, and the courage to hold them accountable.
