Welcome to Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin.

The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

And we're praying this message helps you deepen your relationship with him.

Now let's dive in.

Pastor Matt Chandler, I think I've told you this before.

Okay.

But I am, so this, the sermon tonight is basically, you're, like, I read your book,

the explicit gospel in like 2007, maybe.

Yeah, right about, yeah.

And I was one of those guys who i think i could not have explained the

gospel to a person i grew in the church could not have explained it and every time the word was

used it was we're going to talk about john 316 yeah or it was it was before the word tracked

gospel tracked i see what you i see what you did there yeah uh and so thank you oh man i

appreciate that you you have had a huge impact on my life i think you dr john piper like the first

preaching real preaching i heard you know what i mean i think that's why when i came to 1122 i was

like i'm home baby yeah you know i? Because you had laid some serious groundwork.

So thank you.

And thank you for your message tonight. Yeah, while we were rubbing each other down with affirmation cream. Did me say nice things about you too? No, no, no, no, no, no. This is my kind of podcast. I'm here now. Yeah, I mean, it's cool, a cool thing in my life of getting a pastor this church, a bunch of the people that I used to listen to and just get giddy over listening to, you were top of the list, have become like really good friends of mine. Yeah. That being said, I tell people this, I've told you this, I tell people this all the time, as good a preacher as you are, and I think you're the best in our generation, you're a better dude. Thanks, man.

That being... do this, I tell people this all the time. As good a preacher as you are, and I think you're the

best in our generation, you're a better dude. Thanks, man. That being said, you have had so much

gospel influence over the church of 1122, because in 2012, when we planted, I didn't know anything

about planting. I googled church planning. Two primary websites came up.
