- 339Comparison Is Stealing Your Joy - Matthew S5E10Comparison has a way of convincing us that God owes us more. But in Matthew 20, Jesus tells the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard to reveal a completely different way of thinking. God's Kingdom doesn't operate on merit. It operates on grace. In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby Martin and Pastor Ona unpack why comparison steals our joy, how entitlement blinds us to God's goodness and why the greatest reward isn't what God gives us, but that we get Him. Whether you've followed Jesus for decades or are just beginning your faith journey, this conversation is a reminder that God's grace is never earned and His plans are always better than our own. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:17 What Does a "Good Sermon" Really Look Like? 02:04 Why Does Jesus Tell the Parable of the Workers? 04:32 Why Does the Master Hire Workers Differently? 07:19 Why Were Some Workers Still Waiting? 08:19 Why Did the Workers Become Dissatisfied? 11:23 Why Is Comparison Always a Lose-Lose? 15:23 What's the Difference Between Identity and Productivity? 18:11 How Should Christians View Their Work? 24:38 What Does God Do When We Complain? 25:28 Why Isn't Fairness a Biblical Value? 27:27 When Do We Start Resenting God's Blessings? 30:47 Is God's Design Really Better Than Ours? 38:03 Is It Ever Too Late to Come to Jesus? 43:56 What Does "The Last Will Be First" Mean? 45:06 How Does Grace Change Everything? 46:44 Final Thoughts 📖 Scripture References: • Matthew 20:1–16 • Matthew 19:16–30 • Psalm 84:10 • Romans 6:23 • John 10:10 • Luke 23:39–43 • Hebrews 12:2 • Revelation 3:15–16 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Sermon • Life Change Through the Pando App • This Week’s Full Service • Matthew Season 5 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

- 340What Does It Mean to Be Great in God’s Kingdom? - Matthew S6E1In Matthew 20, Jesus challenges the world’s definition of success. While the sons of Zebedee seek position and prominence, two blind men come to Jesus with nothing to offer but their need for mercy. Through these encounters, we see the difference between seeking what Jesus can give us and fully depending on what only He can do for us. In this episode of Deepen, Pastors Joby Martin and Ryan Britt unpack biblical greatness, the danger of consumer Christianity, the purpose of suffering and why following Jesus requires humility, perseverance and a willingness to serve. Jesus did not call us to chase comfort, titles or recognition. He called us to follow Him, serve others and make disciples. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:51 How Have You Enjoyed Studying Through Matthew? 11:28 What Is the Significance of Sitting at Jesus’ Right or Left? 13:13 What Is the Difference Between Religion and Redemption? 15:24 How Should We Evaluate Our Church Experience? 22:04 What Does It Mean to Drink Jesus’ Cup? 25:02 What Is the Relationship Between Greatness and Suffering? 30:20 Why Are We Worried About Tomorrow? 33:52 What Is the Difference Between Embracing Discomfort and Seeking Suffering? 36:38 Does God Ever Call Us to Easy? 39:52 How Is Perseverance Developed in Us? 46:26 What Does It Mean to “Lord” Power Over Others? 49:33 How Should We View Authority and Responsibility? 52:55 What Does the Need to Flex Our Authority Reveal About Us? 55:05 Who Gets the Decision Making Rights? 58:50 What Do You Want Jesus to Do for You? 1:05:02 Final Thoughts and Prayer 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Sermon • Matthew Season 6 Intro •Student Camp 2026 Recap • This Week’s Full Service • Matthew Season 6 📖 Scripture References: • Matthew 20 • Matthew 28:19 • Isaiah • Jeremiah • Hebrews 12:2 • Revelation • Nehemiah • Acts 📚 Book References: • Leadership Pain by Samuel R.

- 341Is Your Faith Actually Producing Fruit? - Matthew S6E2Are you following Jesus or just looking the part? In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby Martin unpacks the triumphal entry, Jesus cleansing the temple, and the cursing of the fig tree to show the difference between outward religion and a life that actually produces fruit. Following Jesus is more than going to church, reading your Bible, or knowing the right things.

Pastor Joby Martin and Pastor One unpack the seriousness of rejecting Jesus, the patience of God, and the scandal of grace that invites sinners into His Kingdom. The invitation has been extended. The question is, will you say yes? ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 03:35 Why does Jesus increase the intensity as He gets closer to the cross? 04:28 Why is Jesus so focused on judgment? 07:14 Why should we pay attention when Jesus repeats something three times? 08:12 Why does Jesus answer the religious leaders’ question with a question? 10:52 Can better arguments resolve unbelief? 15:42 Why do the Pharisees question Jesus’ authority? 17:46 Is religion about protecting power and becoming territorial? 20:27 What is the “way of righteousness” John the Baptist came in? 25:21 How does the parable of the tenants reflect the history of Israel? 29:25 Why did Israel continue rejecting the warnings of the prophets? 31:19 How do the Pharisees reflect the world’s view of power and authority? 33:18 What is the inheritance the tenants were trying to take? 37:12 What does it mean that Jesus is the cornerstone? 39:15 Is there any middle ground when it comes to Jesus? 45:34 What does Jesus mean by destroying both soul and body in hell? 47:56 Why does the final parable become even more pointed? 52:08 Can we over interpret the details of a parable? 54:22 What does it mean to be clothed in Christ’s righteousness? 58:42 What does “many are called, but few are chosen” mean? 1:02:00 Final Takeaway: What does it take to be worthy of the invitation? 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Sermon • A Message from Our Elders • This Week’s Full Service • Matthew Season 6 📖 Scripture References: • Matthew 21:23–22:14 • Matthew 4 • Matthew 7:21 • John 3 • John 9:9 • John 11 • Romans 3 • Isaiah 5 • Isaiah 14 📚 Books References: • Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell • Confronting Christianity by Rebecca McLaughlin • Run Over by the Grace Train by Joby Martin The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

This week on Deepen, we’re talking lordship, identity, surrender and what it really looks like to let God have the final say.

- 344Are You Missing the Heart of God? - Matthew S6E5What happens when following the rules becomes more important than knowing the heart of God? This week on Deepen, we’re talking hypocrisy, legalism, grace and what it looks like to follow Jesus from the inside out.

- 345Are We Living in the End Times? - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin: Matthew S6E6What does the Bible actually teach about the end times, and how should followers of Jesus respond? In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby and the team unpack different Christian views of the end times, including the millennium, tribulation, rapture and the return of Christ. While faithful Christians may disagree on exactly how these events unfold, we can stand firm on what Scripture makes clear: Jesus is coming back, evil will be defeated and those who belong to Christ will be with Him forever. The goal isn’t to have every detail figured out. It’s to know Christ, stay ready and make Him known.

- 350Saturated 2026: Is Jesus Worth Your Everything?In Matthew 26, we see two very different responses to Jesus. Mary pours out what is most valuable to her in extravagant worship, while Judas chooses to betray Him.
