Top Highlights

“Contextually, Jesus is never going to be cool. It’s” (Hebrews 13:1)

“So here’s how we’ll define works. Works is a life of loving God and loving others. There is your works.” (James 2:14–26)

“Hedonism, just by definition, means to pursue your own pleasure, so really, by your default and my default, the action of our lives, that thing in our guts, and the thoughts of our minds are leading us toward and driving us to what we believe is going to most satisfy us, give us the most pleasure, and give us the most life. Every decision you make is leading you to that end. There is no decision you have made that is contrary to that.” (Matthew 16:21–26)

“The tragedy of our day is that we’re so busy that you can numb yourself to all of it forever. Just go get a new phone, just buy some new pants, get a new car, get a new or get a new game. These are all things that help us not look at us. Update your Twitter feed. Just do something. Don’t stop and think. Don’t sit in that little voice that’s going, ‘Hey something is wrong.’ Just quiet it. It’s not hard to quiet … it’s just expensive.” (John 1:1–5)

“Here’s the argumentation as it flows down. We need to see our trials as paths to maturity, and we need to understand the trials make us consciously aware that we need God … the only thing we actually really need. Then on top of that, be careful because you’re going to have to duke it out with doubt. It’s going to be a fight.” (James 1:2–18)

Praise for Matt Chandler’s Sermons

Like his mentor John Piper, Chandler has always aligned himself with a reformed doctrine—derived from the teachings of Martin Luther and John Calvin— that stresses the centrality of Scripture and God’s control in salvation and everyday life.
