Pastor Matt explores Luke 4 to reveal how temptation and resistance often follow moments of obedience—and why that’s not a setback, but a setup. Looking at Jesus’ wilderness experience, we discover how the enemy targets God’s provision, our identity, and our trust, and how Jesus responds with truth from God’s Word. It offers practical, hope-filled wisdom for facing real-life pressure without fear or defeat. If you’ve felt pushback in your faith, this message will help you stand firm and move forward with confidence.

Many of us feel like we’re faking it—at work, at home, in relationships, and even in our faith. In Luke chapter 3, we see how clarity about identity changes everything. In this message, we explore how John the Baptist knew who he was (and wasn’t), why repentance and baptism matter, and how Jesus shows us what it means to live from God’s approval rather than striving for it. If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome or questioned who you really are, this message will remind you that your identity in Christ is secure—and it impacts every area of your life.

As we kick off 2026, we sat aside 21 days for prayer. Today, Pastor Matt explores three prayers that can seem very dangerous, but are essential as we walk with Jesus. As we grow in our faith, we come to discover that these prayers only seem dangerous when we forget who God is.
