Matt Reynolds :: Joshua 2 :: 11.08.09

joshua_chap2(Morning Message) This week we continue our study through the book of Joshua.  In Chapter 2, we are introduced to a character who has caused some controversy.  historically, because of her profession and her biblical importance.  It’s interesting to see who God esteems through the Scriptures.  Have you ever felt like some people are farther from the grace of God than others?  Don’t some people seem to deserve God’s favor more than others? This week we’ll take a fresh look at a story of redemption. Listen here…

Life in the Spirit(Morning Message) Many of us can relate better to the description of the “barren lands” than we do to Jesus’ description of life being “abundant.”  This week we revisit Israel’s journey in the wilderness and look at their response when given the chance to enter the Promised Land that God prepared.

Matt Reynolds :: Luke 20 :: 08.09.09

Gospel of Luke(Morning Message) One of Jesus’ most attractive attributes is His ability to be the Master Teacher.  In the midst of being deceitfully questioned by those seeking to take His life, Jesus always manages not only to escape, but also to capitalize on the situation by revealing another aspect of the Father’s heart.  This week, we ask God what are things that ought to be rendered to him. Listen Here…


Matt Reynolds :: Luke 18 :: 08.02.09

luke2(Morning Message) Luke 18: 9-14 is  our focus this week. It appears to be a simple story, but I ask you to read the entire chapter and grapple with Jesus, wrestling to understand who this man was, and what Jesus is trying to teach us through stange parables and stories. Here are the questions from the story: Do we, as the people of God understand His Mercy, Have we learned to show mercy, and more important have we lived in such a waythat we continue  to obtain his mercy as strange as that may sound? Listen here…

Matt Reynolds :: Luke 16 :: 07.12.09

luke2(Morning Message) In Luke 16, Jesus continues to teach on relevant issues facing us today. He talks about how money and possessions will affect our quality of life on earth and in Heaven.  And then this funny verse, “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since then the gospel of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.” (Lk. 16:16)  It’s as if God now has an open door policy into His Home, His Kingdom, and some people are really responding. How will we?  Listen in here
