Taking a close look at Matthew 9:9, this message explores how Jesus encountered Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth and chose to see the person rather than the cultural label. Drawing from an unforgettable story of a hidden antique blanket whose true worth was only realized when seen through the right eyes, Pastor Chris shares how Jesus views each of us with immeasurable value and grace.

We are challenged to look past the labels, boxes, and stereotypes of society, step out of our own booths, and start seeing the people around us through the compassionate eyes of Christ.

This is the second to last episode of our summer series. We are refocusing on the biblical mission of equipping the saints for the work of service and adding to the number of those being saved every single day.

Pastor Chris explains that this church is an Embassy, a place where anyone can find the solutions and redemption of heaven. He breaks down how the ministry works to equip the saints through tools like the Growth Track so that you can bring the light of Jesus to your office, your coffee shop, and your home.

Key highlights in this message include:

•Understanding the difference between the universal church and the local assignment.

•How to view yourself as a high ranking official for the Kingdom of Heaven.

•The difference between the indwelling and the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

•Practical ways to use spiritual gifts, like words of wisdom and prophetic insights, in secular spaces.

The video concludes with a powerful time of prayer for those seeking to be filled with the Spirit and activate their spiritual gifts for the work of the ministry. It is time to stop just filling a building and start bringing the kingdom to the world around us.

Throughout the message, Pastor Chris shares remarkable personal stories and testimonies to illustrate these concepts. He speaks about witnessing the supernatural multiplication of food, seeing rain fall during a drought after a prophetic declaration, and the profound impact of words of knowledge in ministering to others. A significant portion of the teaching is dedicated to bringing clarity to the gift of tongues, distinguishing between corporate messages for the church and the personal prayer language that builds up the individual believer.

Think of God’s wisdom like a diamond held up to a jeweler's loop. It is multifaceted, multi-sided, and constantly shifting in color and shape depending on how you turn it. Pastor Chris explains that every believer is meant to be a unique reflection of that manifold grace in their everyday life, whether they are in a boardroom, a classroom, or at home with their children.

The goal of the church is not just to provide an emotional experience or a weekly meal. Instead, it is a training ground where you are equipped to take the kingdom of God into your community. If you have been searching for your purpose or wondering how your natural talents fit into a spiritual calling, this message explores how your **influence** makes the wisdom of God visible to the world.

Join us as we discuss how to stop limiting the kingdom to a single building and start living as an embassy of heaven right where you are.

This message breaks down the fivefold ministry offices—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—and explains how this plurality of leadership provides essential checks and balances for the health of the church.

You will also learn why a church’s primary job is to equip the saints for their own work of ministry rather than just providing a weekly meal. If you have ever wondered how healthy church government actually works or how spiritual authority provides a covering for your life, this teaching is for you.
