In this graduation Sunday sermon, Pastor Ryan Matherly delivers a powerful, heartfelt message reminding the entire church family—especially graduates—that nothing compares to the life-transforming power of God's Word. With humor, real-life stories, and biblical depth, he challenges cultural distractions and "fast-food spirituality," urging believers to pursue the slow-cooked richness of Scripture over entertainment and hype. Drawing from Ezekiel 37 and Mark 1, Pastor Ryan emphasizes that true spiritual life only comes through the Holy Spirit working in God’s Word. With encouragement for parents, a plea for biblical churches, and a call to prioritize the gospel above all, this message stirs the soul and equips the next generation to walk boldly in truth.
