Pastor Matt preaches from John 15:1-4. In this sermon, we return to our verse-by-verse series through the Gospel of John by looking at the 7th "I Am" Statement, "I am the true vine and my Father the vinedresser." What does it mean for Jesus to be the True Vine? And what does it mean to be in vital union with Him as a branch?

We hope you'll listen in and be freed to be play to the glory of God.

Pastor Matt preaches from Acts 2:37-47, drawing from that text three ways the church glorifies God, both as a corporate body and as individuals within the church. The key word is devotion.

Pastor Matt preaches today on glorifying God with our time. This begins with having a biblical perspective on time, namely God's eternal nature and man's finite nature. Once we have those in perspective, we're much better able to "make the best use of the time" we do have.

We hope you'll listening and learn to find healing and hope for your past in Christ.
