Devoted

In this special online-only experience, were are reminded that God still meets His Church wherever we are. Pastor Matt teaches on the importance of devoting ourselves to God’s Word, drawing from Matthew 28:19–20 and Peter’s transformation in Acts 2:40–42. From doubting fisherman to bold preacher, Peter’s story reminds us that Scripture is God-breathed and powerful enough to speak into every situation we face. Pastor Matt challenges us to trust God’s Word over worldly wisdom and to live as disciples who obey and teach what Jesus has commanded.
