If God Left, Would You Notice? (Stop Coasting, Start Investing) | Matt Gordon | Acts

In this message, Matt starts with Bach’s work ethic and a big question: are you investing your life, or burying it? Using Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents), he contrasts fear-driven “break-even living” with faithful risk and stewardship. From there, Matt connects spiritual systems across Scripture, Exodus 18 (Jethro coaching Moses on delegation and sustainable leadership), Acts 2 (the early church’s rhythms), and Daniel 6 (discipline as a daily custom). Then he brings a cautionary tale from Samson, a gifted man whose lack of discipline and community led to drift, including one of the saddest lines in Judges: “he did not know the Lord had left him.” Matt closes with simple next steps: add one discipline, build one protecting system, and share it with someone for accountability.
