House of Folk ArtEpisode 37 | Inside Matt's Home Gallery & The Real Cost of Building a Folk Art CollectionMatt opens his doors to the official House of Folk Art gallery – a sanctioned room in his Gibsonville home where guests drink wine, discuss eyeball jugs, and sleep surrounded by Benny Carter cityscapes. What started as empty walls has become a rotating exhibition that changes every two years, filled with the kind of obtainable art that proves you don't need millionaire money to live with authentic folk art.This episode is pure education for new collectors: Matt breaks down how he built this collection piece by piece, why he can't afford Bill Traylor but settles happily for Mar...

Video of this recording
Spoiler alert: there is no way I can do this topic justice in a short time. But I hope that by thinking out loud a bit, I can help Christians consider carefully what they believe and how to stand strong in the faith when it seems that the wind of culture is in our face. and ESPECIALLY TO SHOW GRACE TO ONE ANOTHER!

Video of this recording
John Newton, pastor and writer of "Amazing Grace" has words for his fellow ministers when they enter into controversy with others over important issues.
"Either they grow in a sense of their own importance, or imbibe an angry contentious spirit, or they withdraw their attention from those things which are the food of a life of faith, and spend their time and strength upon matters which are at most but of secondary value"
Remember that a haughty person “shall be humbled, and the loft...

Video of this recording
Christians ALL believe the biggest conspiracy in the universe! That before the first man and woman, before all recorded history, there was a heavenly rebellion between God and His created beings. The rebels were cast out of heaven and managed to lead mankind into rebellion as well. Lies, coverups, murder, greed secret meetings and power have been the result throughout the human experience.
For the sake of Jesus, guard yourselves against the temptation to believe what you hear without examination. You might find yourself in the...

Video of this recording
A reading from C.S. Lewis on the foolishness we exhibit when we consider ourselves "more intelligent, more enlightened, more advanced" than those of other ages. The reality is we are affected and shaped by the subtle motions of history, culture, politics and religion. Unless we spend time in the old books (especially God's book), we will remain defenseless against the cultural assumptions of our own age.

2020-08-2909 mingrassrootschurch#3 Christian Piety in 2020How is your manner before the watching world?
Video of this recording:
Piety, or ""godliness and reverence for God" seems to be lacking in many of the conversations, arguments, and factions we witness in the church at this time in 2020.
Yet throughout scripture, spiritual men and women are exhorted to live lives "worthy of the gospel of Christ," in line with the truths and promises that we claim to believe. In fact, Jesus' prayers were heard because of His reverence, or piety before God. Let us recover this lifestyle rather than conforming to 21st c...

Video Of this Recording: https://youtu.be/86K8vxurPbs
When news of the corona virus pandemic first hit in March, I had two main concerns:
1. The depravity and fear of man, especially our political leaders. What will they do to help, which will actually hurt us?
2. Division in the church. When the pressure is on, Christians will need to stay "eager" to maintain the unity of the church. Otherwise it will not happen. Will we divide into camps over secondary issues? Or will w...

2018-04-2010 mingrassrootschurchEcclesiology 3 Household of Faith(apologies for the popping on the recording) For some this may be a little counter-intuitive. I believe that the issue of ecclesiology (theology of the church) is one of the most misunderstood areas in the western church, and it leads to ineffective, unfruitful lives if we miss it. May God bless you with a real church family!
