The Altar Fellowship

On The Altar’s seventh anniversary, Pastor Mattie opens Proverbs 29:18 and explains why a God-given vision keeps us covered. Then he shares what’s next: revival nights, a recording studio, a young adults ministry, Wednesday night services, and a weekly prayer gathering. The vision behind all of it is Jesus.

Storms aren’t always a sign you’re out of God’s will. Sometimes they mean you’re moving forward. Pastor Chris Mathis walks through Acts 28 and gives four reminders for keeping peace in hard seasons, from trusting an unexpected path change to building your own fire instead of living off someone else’s. And when the serpent bites, you don’t have to carry it. Shake it off.

Philip was in the middle of a citywide revival when God sent him down an empty desert road to sit with one man. The message from Acts 8 is that God cares less about your calling than your obedience, and that the person in front of you right now is part of the assignment. Philip’s one condition for baptism still stands: believe with all your heart, because faith is what turns a bath into a baptism.

You can have every gift, the biggest platform, and the right credentials, and it all counts for nothing without love. Pastor Mattie preaches a message he says he needed to hear himself, walking through 1 Corinthians 13 to show that love means giving someone else preference, that it suffers long, and that it costs something. It’s the foundation under everything we build, and the only thing that never fails.

We don't graduate from the gospel. Pastor Mattie returns to 1 Corinthians 2 and the message that got him started in ministry, then walks through Isaiah 53 to show why Jesus is a Savior and not just an example. The man of sorrows wasn't written to make us pity Him. He was written to bring us to the foot of the cross in awe at a love that carried what we couldn't.
