The Explicit Gospel Matt Chandler In an explanation that embraces the whole of Scripture, author Matt Chandler defines what the gospel is — and what it is not. Written with Chandler's weighty and yet immediately understandable style, this Bible study includes the specifics of the gospel as well as its fullness, clearly outlining its massive implications on both personal and cosmic levels. Sessions include: The Gospel of Past, Present, and Future The Gospel Saves You The Gospel Matures You The Gospel Pushes You Out The Gospel Holds You to the End The Gospel Consummation About the Author In 2002, Matt became the lead teaching pastor of Highland Village First Baptist Church, now known as  The Village Church. In 1999, he married his wife, Lauren. They have three children: Audrey, Reid and Norah. On Thanksgiving 2009, Matt suffered a seizure in his living room. He was rushed to a hospital where an MRI revealed a golf ball-size mass in his right frontal lobe. Once the tumor was removed, he was diagnosed with anaplastic, or malignant, non-encapsulated oligodendroglioma, WHO grade three. After undergoing 18 months of radiation and chemo, Matt was given a clean bill of health. He continues to receive regular MRI scans to monitor his progress. God has been unbelievably gracious and merciful throughout this story, using it—especially Matt's health updates—to encourage The Village and others around the world. In 2012, Matt became the president of Acts 29, a network of churches planting churches. He brought a fresh vision to the organization, mapping out four specific hopes for its future: plant churches who plant churches, be known for holiness and humility, become radically diverse and be serious about evangelism and conversion. Matt has authored three books, with a fourth on the way.
