Col. 2:11-12 Misunderstanding Baptism: The Decline of Biblical, Covenantal, Church Membership

April 25, 2021 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Listen as Pastor Matt explains how Col. 2:11-12 proves that Baptism is not the New Testament counterpart of Old Testament Circumcision. We lose a lot when we misunderstand the nature of the New Covenant and the role of the Church in pursuing regenerate church membership. A pure church is a powerful church! May we minister […]

February 17, 2019 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Jesus says Christians are ‘the salt of the earth.’ What does that mean? And how can salt lose its flavor? Is this text suggesting that a Christian can lose his or her salvation? Absolutely not! Listen as Pastor Matt explains this familiar, yet often mishandled, text.

The Leaven and the Lump_Part2: I Corinthians 5 and 11

January 25, 2015 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Last week Pastor Matt made a case for church discipline, and briefly connected church discipline to the Lord’s Supper. But how can that be?

Leaven and the Lump of Dough_ A Biblical Case for Church Discipline and Fencing the Table

January 18, 2015 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

You have probably heard of church discipline, but doesn’t it seem harsh and mean spirited; perhaps even self-righteous and pharisaical? Isn’t everyone a sinner? Who is to say that one person’s sin is worse than another’s? But the question must be, is church discipline biblical? If it is, then, how is it not self righteous […]
