sermon link

 If you're looking for some good teaching, Matt is a GOOD teacher...here is the link to some of his last sermons and here to some recent Bible studies, in case you're hungry for more and deeper and not finding it currently. 

Having Wednesday night Bible study, Tuesday night small group Bible study, Sunday mornings...I'm in a season of so much good teaching...it feels like I've always got something the Lord is working on or speaking to! 

It waters all the needs and service and ministry that church also includes....working on kid's curriculum and crafts, teaching toddler Sunday school, practicing for the Sundays I play piano, cooking for surgeries and sickness, hosting small group, helping feed the church family Wednesday nights, weekly prayer meetings, volunteer meetings, and backing up my number 2. 

His Word feeds me and reminds me why...and how...and what.

For all that feels required...He simply requires a heart after His...clean hands, pure heart. 

For all that is stretching, He offers what to let go, what to trust Him with, what to carry lighter. 

For all that could be consuming, His Word consumes first, and leaves the rest dim.

I never want to teach it, pray it, serve it, live it or share it so much that I neglect dwelling in His Word and eating and drinking from it. Never want to get caught serving Him and lose abiding in Him. Never want to have a full ministry calendar and miss HIM. 

and other random thoughts :)
