ONE: A Study On Ephesians (Part 2)The book of Ephesians reveals God's great plan. Through Jesus Christ's life, death, resurrection and ascension, God is saving a people for Himself. This community is saved by the grace of God and is called to live out a redeemed and restored life. God equips His people with every spiritual blessing so that they can live as a new humanity, shining the light of the gospel to the world. As we walk through this book, we will discover God's revealed will for our lives and our church and we can be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.Pastor Matt Clausen preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.
Pastor Matt started a new sermon series today, urging believers at year's end to honestly evaluate where their lives are not as they should be, rejecting both complacent acceptance of stagnation and self-absorbed obsession with self-improvement in favor of a biblical pursuit of growth grounded in God's will.
Micah 6-7 | 12/28/2025 | Pastor Matt Jones. Pastor Matt's sermon is not about resolutions or self-help promises. It is about honest reflection, gospel clarity, and renewed hope, as God calls His people to live faithfully and how He meets us with mercy when we fall short. Micah confronts empty religion, everyday compromise, and divided loyalty—and then lifts our eyes to a God who delights in mercy and keeps His covenant promises.

What if the place you are standing right now is not a delay, detour, or disappointment, but holy ground?In this teaching, Pastor Matt invites us to slow down and relearn how the Kingdom actually grows. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, this teaching dismantles the lie that significance only exists in what comes next, and reveals how heaven hides future glory inside present simplicity.Through the imagery of seeds, gardens, and promised land moments that look ordinary on the surface, we are reminded that God rejoices in beginnings, works quietly, and measures promise by presence, not appearance. This message speaks tenderly to weary hearts, confronts the roots of impatience and critical striving, and calls us back to beloved identity and trust in the faithful Gardener.You are not behind. You are not late. And you are not missing it.Where you are is holy. The seed is already working. And the joy of union is available right now.
In this unique Christmas communion service, our family gathered around a long table of communion set right down the center of the room. As bread was broken and cups were shared, questions rose naturally from the family, and what followed was not a performance or a panel, but an honest, joyful conversation.In this Question and Response time, Pastor Matt and Jamie open their hearts as the father and mother of this house, sharing what it looks like to build a life of union, a marriage of union, and a home shaped by fellowship, joy, and presence. We talked about parenting, marriage, rhythms of life, and the everyday realities of walking out union together.Whether you are married or not, have children or not, this conversation is for anyone longing to build a life rooted in union and a home formed by love. Pull up a chair, take your fill, and listen in as we learn together at the table.

In this episode, we sit down with Mary Read, a pastor's wife, mom of three energetic boys, and lifelong learner with a heart for faith, family, and connection. Mary opens up about what it was like returning to the church she grew up in—yes, the very same pews, hallways, and people she knew as a kid—and navigating the unique mix of nostalgia, expectations, and change that came with it.Mary shares about the challenges of stepping back into familiar spaces, how past relationships evolve, and the importance of confidence in ministry. She offers practical encouragement for new pastors' wives, emphasizing mentorship, healthy boundaries, and the grounding truth of Scripture. We also chat about her life outside ministry—long walks, fiction books, home-cooked meals, and her newfound tradition of Friday date days with her husband, Pastor Matt.This episode is full of wisdom, warmth, and real-life insight for pastors' wives in every season.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

People of Praise - Pastor Matt Sena by King's Gate Church
December 21st, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 2:8-20Why does Christmas exist? According to Pastor Matt Darby, the answer is simple yet profound: Christmas exists so that we can know God. In this Advent message from Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Matt explores how the arrival of Jesus reveals a God who is both overwhelmingly glorious and astonishingly gracious.While we often separate God's glory and His grace—placing glory in heaven and grace on earth—Luke's Gospel refuses to divide them. In the birth announcement of Jesus, God's radiant glory shines in the darkness, and His compassionate grace reaches the lowest and least: ordinary, overlooked shepherds living on the margins of society.Pastor Matt unpacks what the Bible truly means by God's glory—the weight, splendor, and radiance of His presence—and how that same holy glory comes near through grace. The shepherds' fear gives way to peace as God speaks words of comfort, proving that His holiness does not push sinners away but draws them close.At the heart of this passage is a powerful declaration: “Unto you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” In one sentence, heaven announces salvation that is both cosmic and deeply personal. This message reminds us that God meets us where we are, not where we wish we were, and that His grace is always closer than we deserve.As the Advent season points us toward the new year, this sermon invites listeners to respond like the shepherds—drawing near, receiving salvation, and returning with hearts full of worship for all that God has done.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
This message highlights how true obedience and worship flow from hearts that recognize God's revelation and respond to His leading, just as the wise men did in the Christmas story. Though they were distant both geographically and culturally, the wise men demonstrated remarkable obedience by following the star across great distance, trusting God's guidance even without full understanding. Their journey culminated in worship—bowing before the Christ child and offering gifts that acknowledged His kingship, divinity, and sacrificial purpose. Their story reminds us that true worship is not merely an act of praise but the fruit of a life willing to pursue God wherever He leads.
Pastor Matt continued our Christmas sermon series today, reflecting on Christmas as the ultimate revelation of a God who is not distant but personally present in Jesus Christ, fulfilling ancient promises and showing that His character has always been loving and unchanging.

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Pastor Matt joins the show to unpack some of the most challenging topics facing believers today — navigating suffering, understanding the “why” behind pain, and fighting the growing epidemic of sexual sin in the church. He shares the story of losing his daughter Sarah, how he processed grief without losing his faith, and why choosing peace over understanding is essential for spiritual maturity. Pastor Matt also delivers a masterclass on the fear of the Lord, spiritual authority, purity, neural pathways, and the unseen spiritual dynamics behind sexual temptation. This episode is a rare blend of raw vulnerability, theological depth, and extremely practical wisdom for anyone seeking freedom and a deeper relationship with God. This is one of the most important and transformative conversations we've ever had on the podcast.

In this message, we explore the signs woven throughout the Christmas story—signs that pointed unmistakably to Jesus but were often overlooked by people caught up in the busyness of life. From angels and prophecies to shepherds and stars, God was clearly at work, yet many missed the most significant moment in history because they were preoccupied with everyday demands. This sermon invites us to slow down this Christmas season, look for the signs that point to Jesus, and refuse to let familiarity or busyness cause us to miss Him.

December 14th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Matt DarbyBehind the story of Jesus' arrival is the story of a God who longs to be known. In this week's Advent message, Pastor Matt Darby reminds us that Christmas exists so that we can know God—and that the more we know Him, the more we love, trust, and rest in Him.Walking through Luke 2, Pastor Matt highlights two powerful attributes revealed in the birth of Christ: God's providence and His faithfulness. From a Roman emperor's decree to a quiet manger in Bethlehem, we see a God who effortlessly guides history and faithfully keeps every promise He has made. What appears ordinary, inconvenient, or unnoticed is often the very place where God is doing His greatest work.This message is for anyone who feels weary, uncertain, disappointed, or stuck in the waiting. You'll be reminded that God's providence is not noisy, His faithfulness is not rushed, and His work is never absent—even when it feels quiet. Jesus' birth stands as undeniable proof that God is writing the story, directing history, and keeping His word perfectly and on time.Be encouraged: your life is not random, your waiting is not wasted, and the God who brought Jesus into the world at the exact right moment will not be late for you.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
In this Advent Week 3 message, Pastor Matt invites us into the darkness of the shepherds' night in Luke 2 and shows that biblical joy doesn't come from perfect circumstances, Christmas cheer, or fragile anchors. Ultimately, joy is tethered to the Gospel and to the person of Jesus—our Savior, Messiah, and Lord.
Pastor Matt continued our Christmas sermon series today, centering on Joseph in Matthew 1 and the shepherds in Luke 2 to show how God works through ordinary, often overlooked people whose hearts are responsive to Him.
