One of the best ways to multiply and mature disciples of Christ is to invest in the next generation. We should all be a part of building up those younger than us. In this week's episode of MoT, Pastor Matt meets up with Michael Caserta, who is leading the charge with Central's young adults. Then, we look at Luke chapter 2 to read about Jesus on the cusp of becoming a young man.

We're jumping back into Matthew 12 to talk about the Widow's mite. What does it mean to give cheerfully? Should we give when we have little? We're also extremely excited to give an update on Central's renovations. The Central family has been so generous in partnering with us to reach the next generation for Christ.

We exist to glorify God, and one way we do that is to live out God's commandments that are given to us in the Bible. This includes the command to go and share the good news of Jesus Christ to every nation and tongue. Pastor Matt and John Andrew discuss how you can get involved with missions at Central Church. And on this week's episode of MoT, Pastor Matt discusses Mark 9 and the importance of living a Godly life.

Mark 3 has one of the most chilling verses in the entire Bible. This week on MoT, we look at the unforgivable sin. What is it? How do we avoid it? And what does it mean to blaspheme? Grab a Bible and check out Mark chapter 3, verses 22-29 for your Moment of Truth.

What does it mean to bear fruit? We're not plants or trees.

In Matthew 21:18-22, Jesus curses a fig tree for bearing no fruit. It's a reminder to us as Christians that as we follow Christ - there should be noticeable changes in our life. In this week's video, Pastor Matt walks through what it means to have faith and to live a life of faith.

Also, Pastor Matt hangs out with Pastor Derek and talks about The Winter Thing, a weekend discipleship event for students at Central Church.

Moments of Truth:

00:26 - The Winter Thing
00:54 - Why You Should Come to the Winter Thing

In Matthew 16, we see one of the most important questions in the entire Bible. Jesus asks, "Who do you say I am?" Peter's answer is astounding.
Today, we must all ask the same question ourselves: "Who do I say Jesus is?"

Also, in this episode, we share resources on parenting with Kids and Family Pastor, Justin Halverson. And last, but not least, we share the winner of our coffee giveaway!

Well, this is a sad day. One of my favorite childhood television shows has fallen into the hands of LGBTQ+ activists. Apparently, the smartest character in Scooby-Doo has been solving mysteries for over 50 years. But there’s one mystery that she hasn't been able to solve until today: her sexuality.

Jinkies!

Today I’m reacting to toxic Christian dating advice videos that I found on TikTok. Why am I doing this? Because I love going to town on unbiblical teaching. It’s one of my great joys in life.
I’m also doing this for you. No one should have to suffer in their pursuit of a spouse because of harmful advice. I feel sorry for the thousands of people who were exposed to the nonsense in these videos. The last one at the end of this video is particularly bad.

Let’s get into it.

Gay to Christian Testimony - Homosexuality Was My Identity

Becket spent over 25 years pursuing the desires we all desperately want as human beings: relationships, love, intimacy, support, and affirmation. Undeniably, these desires had a unique grip on his heart that was incomparable to any other desire. They carried with them emotions that vastly impacted his will, intentions, and actions and became a unique part of his identity.The problem with this is that he was not created to have an identity rooted in sexual orientation or human relationships. No one is. We were created to have an identity rooted in God. If that's off, all of our desires are off and we find ourselves chasing things that we were never supposed to pursue. Homosexual relationships are one of those things. It stands contrary to God's moral will for mankind. But we don't have to stand as enemies of God. Through Jesus Christ, there is hope for new life. There is hope for salvation.

Becket's story portrays this truth with such kindness and from an intimate understanding of your life experiences, thoughts, and desires. May you see his love for you, God's love for you, as you watch it.

IS IT OKAY TO BE GAY AND A CHRISTIAN? Sign up to watch this bonus interview here: https://anchorednorth.org/homosexuality-was-my-identity/#exclusive

Regardless of what you have done in your life, redemption is provided to you through Jesus Christ. Just like Becket, even if you have found your identity in worthless things, God died for you. He can make you a new creation and save you from a terrible fate if you call out to Him. If you are broken over your sin, call out to God in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ that He will redeem you.

Do you ever think about the bad things you've done in your life? After organizing a heist to steal hundreds of jeans, Mark's plans were abruptly impeded and changed.
