Matt Renaud – Donoho Prairie Christian Church

Matt has seemingly boundless energy. When he gets excited about sharing the word of God, it’s impossible not to be excited too. Sometimes he talks so fast it’s hard to keep up, but the passion he has for the Lord comes through loud and clear. He and his family have been such a blessing to our little country church, Donoho Prairie Christian Church in Texico, IL. Matt preaches uncompromising biblical truth that may step on some toes sometimes, but he always ends with the hope we have through Jesus Christ. He stays insanely busy at all times, serving as the Regional Superintendent of Schools for several surrounding counties, one of the co-founders/owners at the popular ice cream shop Yellin Helen’s in Dix, IL, and another business on the side that he manages, all while preaching every Sunday and being there for his church family wherever needed. I don’t know how he does it all, but I do know he needs all the prayers, support, and appreciation we can give him. At Donoho Prairie, we know how incredibly blessed we are to have Matt, his wife Joy, and the rest of their family with us, and I hope that he can be recognized and appreciated outside our community as well. Matt is so joyful to greet everyone personally and is so encouraging and upbeat. He is always excited to share the good news of Jesus and God’s abundant love for us. Matt is more than spiritually involved, he is always willing to jump in and help solve anyone’s problems. He and his wife do a lot for the church and community, including premarital counseling and performing my wedding. And supportive in our ministry for moms through MomCo International. I love my pastor because he studies and preaches the Word faithfully. He’s consistent in what he teaches. I’m encouraged by his prayers that show his love and devotion to God. I know he looks to God to make sure he’s working for God’s vision for our church and in life (and not his own vision). My pastor is the real deal who doesn’t act spiritually superior or condescending. He devotes his sermons to God. He invites the Holy Spirit into his sermons and preaches in a way that makes us really think about what Jesus wants in our lives. I cannot take notes quick enough in his sermons. My pastor doesn’t just preach discipleship, he seeks to make disciples of others. He’s truly passionate about seeing those without Christ become followers of the Savior. my pastor truly has a heart filled with Christ’s love. Not only does Matt Renaud go above and beyond as a preacher but he also is the Regional Superintendent at district 13 ROE, doing his very best to keep our schools away from the crazy ways of this new age and protecting the innocence of childhood. Oh and he’s also my dad and I admire him so

Acts 4:13 | God Makes Me Capable

Okay so what's your… "thing"? You know, that weakness that you try your best to compensate for. Maybe it's something that you're embarrassed about and you really work to hide it so that other people don't see you differently. The enemy tells us that these weaknesses disqualify us fro being loved or used by God. But the truth is all together different. Join Rick and McKenna for today's episode of The Morning Focus. When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13

Ezra 4:4 | I Don't Fight Alone

Aren't you glad we aren't story book characters? The main characters in a story book always have some huge villain they have to face, and even once that enemy is defeated, there's another one around the corner. For the sake of plot of course. We aren't story book characters, but we do have an enemy who opposes us. Here's the good news: we don't fight Him alone, and we know His tactics. Join Rick and McKenna for today's episode of The Morning Focus. Then the local residents tried to discourage and frighten the people of Judah to keep them from their work. Ezra 4:4

Romans 5:2 | I Have Undeserved Privilege

You know that Sesame Street game where you sing "One of these things is not like the other"? When you play, there's normally an assortment of objects in front of you. Maybe a banana, an apple, an orange, and a basketball. The point of the game is to point out which of the items doesn't belong. It's one thing to see how the basketball is different than the fruits, but do you ever feel like you're the one who doesn't belong? Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. Romans 5:2
