    Two Words at Work - Matt Popovits

    Scripture is always speaking just two words: "do" and "done"—law and gospel. In this message, we'll walk through Ephesians 5:22-33, one of the Bible's most misunderstood passages on marriage, and uncover how Paul renovates patriarchy with the gospel. See how God's "do" words reveal our need for Jesus, while His "done" words deliver the grace we desperately need. Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, this teaching will transform how you read Scripture and understand God's love. Learn the daily practice of examine, confess, and receive that will grow your grasp of grace and help you love others better. Because when we understand what Christ has done for us, it changes how we live for others.

    Concluding our "I Love My Church" series with a powerful message about the centrality of God's Word in our lives. Using the metaphor of driving in the dark without headlights, we explore three characteristics of a church that loves God's Word: being deeply rooted in the promises of Jesus, regularly encountering the person of Christ, and being transformed by His power. Learn why the life of faith is a lifetime of leaning upon God's Word and how engaging with Scripture is not just gathering information, but having an encounter with the living Christ.

    In Worship - Matt Popovits

    Who gets excited about Sundays? If you're honest, getting to church can feel like a battle, especially with kids. When we gather for worship, four incredible things happen: (1) Christ is actively working among us, (2) the outside world is welcomed and honored, (3) our faith comes alive, getting out of our heads and into the real world, and (4) we are being reformed by God's counter-algorithm, reshaping what the world has deformed in us Monday through Saturday. Want to love your church in worship more? Keep tabs on your struggles during the week so you come hungry, prepare on Saturday night, make friends, and erase the equation; just commit to consistency. Most importantly, shift your focus from the trappings of worship back to what's at the center: Jesus, who sees you, forgives you, and loves you completely.
