About this episode

Matt Heard concludes his series by exploring the beauty of living and giving the Gospel, emphasizing a relational approach to God.

In Part 6 of “Living and Giving the Gospel,” Matt Heard concludes his series by taking a deeper look at the beauty of not only sitting at the Gospel table with Jesus (living the Gospel), but also the privilege we have of inviting others to join us (giving the Gospel). Using the contrasting metaphors of a vending machine versus a dinner table, he encourages us to move from a transactional mindset when approaching God to a relational one, which shifts us from merely practicing religiosity to vibrantly pursuing a relationship with God. That, in turn, moves us from just urging people to adopt our religious practices to inviting them to join us as we pursue intimacy with Jesus and feast on the Good News at the Gospel table together. The very familiar verse of John 3:16 reveals four realities we must embrace for that to happen: the Love of God, the Son of God, Belief in God, and the Life of God. (06/21/2026)
