Cabe Matthews! In this second week of Advent, we tackle what it looks like to have peace on earth in the here and now versus after the second coming. What does it look like to turn swords into plows, and should Christians be doing that already? Chris asks the difficult question of whether Christians should be in the military, and we discuss what that looks like.

Kingwood MethodistDo... As I Do (John 17) | Cabe MatthewsIn John 17, Jesus casts a vision for his people as both sent into the world and set apart from it. Following Jesus is supposed to make us different from the surrounding world, but too often we aren’t. The most important thing we can do to pass the faith on to the next generation is just to really be the church.

But as God graciously creates us, he also generously invites us to contribute to the beauty and goodness of his Creation (Genesis 2:15). The things that you have are not technically yours. How are you using what God gave you to make investments that might yield an eternal dividend (Matthew 25:14-27)?

2025-10-1424 minVine Worship at Kingwood MethodistBeyond the Bread: Communion as Our Life’s Purpose | Cabe MatthewsThis episode reflects on John 4:23 and 1 Corinthians 11, explaining how communion points to our purpose: deep relationship with God and one another. Paul’s rebuke of the Corinthian church highlights how self-centered worship and division distort the meaning of the Lord’s Supper.
The sermon calls listeners to examine divisions—by wealth, status, style, or preference—and to pursue authentic communion, welcoming all so the world recognizes Christians by their love.

David defeats Goliath because he remembers the ways God has rescued him in the past, and he trusts God to see him through the present. When we remember the stories of God’s faithfulness in our lives, we too can find the courageous faith to face our own giants.
