Matthews

Hello, I'm Kevin DeYoung, pastor at Christ Government Church in Matthews, North Carolina, and you are listening to Doctrine Matters.

We want this podcast to equip Christians with a better understanding of the rich theology that undergirds our faith.

And hopefully along the way, we'll be looking at some that have even been misunderstood or maybe misinterpreted.

We are broadcasting live outside of the vinyl only hut that Goodwill is putting out in the North Carolina area.

Matthews, North Carolina has the first of possibly many vinyl only stores.

And we're going to get to that in a second.

It's part of our current event segment.

And we're going to blow through the other current event stuff.

We're just going to go right to the Kendall piece because I feel it's important.

Kendall and his backyard, Matthews, North Carolina, went to...

Are they just calling this the Vinyl Rewind? Is that what they're calling it, Kendall? What is this place?

Hello, I'm Kevin DeYoung, pastor at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, North Carolina, and you are listening to Doctrine Matters.

Each week on Doctrine Matters, we explore the rich doctrine of the Christian faith.

We'll pull from the church's long history, complex debates, and over the course of the year, the hope is that we'll begin to frame out what is a clear, accessible, systematic theology.

Hold on.

Same time as the Charlotte FC game, we also had the Crown Legacy in action against Connecticut United, and that was a home game, Matthews Sportsplex.

Crown Legacy comes out of halftime in the second half with a second yellow on Daniel Longo.

They're down a man, down a goal.

And that is the model that all of MLS has been given the orders to move towards.

Proud Legacy, I think, already fulfills that requirement.

It is in Matthews.

So there's been speculation that the club may move at some point in the future to a market like Columbia, South Carolina, Greenville, South Carolina, maybe up the road to Cary, North Carolina.

I always went to Charlotte, North Carolina, I think it was for 32 years, and ministered in a church there, Freedom Christian Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

And one of my partners in Matthews, North Carolina, owned a business that had about 30 or 40 employees, and every year when I'd go to Charlotte, he would invite me to come into his business.

He would shut everything down.

He would tell the people, "I'm paying you to listen to this guy." And he just let me preach to them as long as I wanted to go.

Yeah, we like to get a little literal about things, but Ken Baker, if you don't know, uh, he's pastor, former state bishop, and a teacher with the Church of God Prophecy, the church that I'm still a part of, unlike some people.

Uh, Kenny Hibbard is the pastor at Team Church in Matthews, North Carolina, and helped plant that church in the late '90s, which is when I was born, so nice long career here.

Nice long career.

Uh, but if you wanna know more about us, you can go to our website.

Um-Pastor Hibbard, uh, you know, sa- same question.

You, you said-- talked about this a little bit already, but you had the call to build a church in Charlotte.

Now we got Team Church in Matthews and all the other ones.

But from the moment you had that call to the moment that the first building got made, what was that process like for you?
