Matt speaks about those seasons on our journey of faith where we hit blockages that seem to prevent us moving forward, and how God can use even these moments for growth towards maturity if we let Him.
When we think of prayer we tend to think about asking God to change things, but Matt turns this on it's head by looking at how often God wants to use prayer to change us!
Over a long period we have been working through the book of Matthew. Here we have a put a copy of all the sermons from the various series that make up our walk through Matthew.
