Since late 2010, the Lord has been putting a new vision into the heart of Pastor Matt.

For this vision to be birthed, it was necessary to close out one work so that the new might be birthed unhindered. The Lord moved in a loving way to make this happen with great assurance of the coming of something greater.

 

We bless the Lord for the great and lasting fruit of the ministry: 

        

One: The Name of the Lord Jesus was made famous on the OBX!

          The "fruit of the Spirit" as evidenced in the lives of many:

       

                     But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,    

                                                gentleness and self-control. 

Galatians 5.22-23

 

      Two: the great acts of the Lord's hand:

                hundreds of salvations, dozens of baptisms in water and the Holy Spirit, countless                      physical, mental and emotional healings, restored families,  broken addictions of   

                          all types, those brought back from the brink of suicide, the homeless restored     

                               to homes and jobs, the hopeless over-flowing with the Hope of Jesus, 

                                                       multi-generational families who came to know

                                                                           Jesus as Lord and Savior, 

                                          the confidence we have that those who went home to be with Jesus are 

                                               indeed in Paradise, the couples bound in the covenant of marriage                                                           blessed by the Lord Jesus and those precious babies born into

                                                               God-loving homes.

 

                   The wonder of the ministry of Matthew 25:

                                                     loving the "least of these, my brothers."

Probably the greatest outpouring of the love of Christ was the housing, nurturing and loving of those who society cares for the least. 

Rarely has the heart of Christ been so revealed.

 

As the new work of the Lord is being conceived, Pastor Matt reminds all to press into the Lord, to seek Him while He may be found and to determine to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul. 

 

When asked if they were going to leave Him also, the disciples replied to Jesus: John 6:68 ¶ Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
