Romans 12:3-8 From Multiplication to Cooperation: Living as the Body of Christ

March 8, 2026 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Last week Pastor Matt showed how the power of multiplication enabled the apostles and the early church to change the world so quickly. Godly men became examples for others to imitate, and those who followed their example became examples themselves. As that life-on-life discipleship continued, the gospel “sounded forth” not only in Macedonia and Achaia, […]

September 7, 2025 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Two faithful sisters, Euodia & Syntyche, found themselves divided. They scrutinized motives, assumed the worst, and replayed their grievances. Paul points them to a better way: love that doesn’t record wrongs committed against them in an ever running ledger, but that deliberately dwells on what is true, honorable, and praiseworthy. Join Pastor Matt as he […]

Proverbs 20:19 Ministerial De-Ja-Vu: Identifying & Dealing with Gossip

July 7, 2024 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Disagreements and conflicts in the church are burdensome, but they are not to unique to your church. The same sorts of conflict was present in Ephesus, Colossae, Philippi, & Corinth. Paul even says that divisions are necessary & even helpful.1 Cor. 11:18 When you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among […]

Ephesians 4:1-6 The Danger of Disunity- Pastor David Province

June 30, 2024 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Unity is not an option in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the very thing that Jesus himself prayed his followers would have to mirror the Godhead in John 17. We in the church have an awesome responsibility to maintain the unity that God has already provided us with the means that […]

Philippians 4:8-9 Thinking on the Best Things

September 25, 2016 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Euodia & Syntyche had a problem. They looked for faults in one another. They focused on where they disagreed to the point that they saw little use for one another. They dwelled on what the other was wrong about. They dwelled on what was not respectable in the other. They likely picked at areas where […]
