When evil is done to you, one question matters: will evil only wound you, or will it recruit you? Why would we imitate the evil done to us and thereby multiply it? Romans 12:17–21 forbids revenge, forbids fleshly retaliation, and commands believers to answer evil with good. Listen as Pastor Matt explain how striking back […]
Romans 12:14-16 No Retaliation: Overcoming Evil With Good – A Counterintuitive Offensive Strategy (Part 1 of 2)
When evil comes against the church, how should we respond? In Romans 12:14–16, Paul gives an answer that cuts against every fleshly instinct: bless persecutors, enter into the joys and sorrows of the body, and do not let pride rule your heart.

Romans 12:9-13 From Cooperation to Prioritization: Loving the Body of Christ
In a world shaped by mere self-interest and shallow connection, God calls His people to something deeper. Romans 12:9–13 gives us a vision of unfeigned love—love that hates evil, clings to what is good, and gives itself for the good of the saints. Come hear what covenantal love looks like in the body of Christ.

Should we have a posture of revolution and rebellion? Romans 13 has been a go to section of Scripture for many who have advocated shutting down our churches and obeying vaccine mandates. […]
Titus 3:10-11 & Rom. 16:17-18 When the Scandal Mongerer is Exposed, Rebuked, & Unrepentant
Last week Pastor Matt explained what the Scriptures instruct the Church to do when someone is caught up in slander and gossip. Unfortunately, not everyone plays nice when this process is carried out as the Bible requires. Sometimes they get mad. They refuse to follow the biblically prescribed steps, and they rebel against the authority […]
Romans 12:3-8 Many Members, Many Gifts, One Body- Brother Josh Woody
