Love Letters
Matt’s message is rooted in Philippians 4.10-20. How is God shaping our hearts in gratitude and generosity? What might we learn from Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi and how might our lives align more fully with our values & passions today?
Deliver the Punchline
Matt’s message is rooted in Psalm 104. Where in our lives are we allowing scarcity to take up too much space? How might the abundance of God’s love shape us in gratitude and generosity?
Dreaming and Fishing
