Family on a Mission – UNLTD VISION | Mark 9:30–50 | Matt Clayton | UNLTD Church Exeter
In this UNLTD Vision talk, Matt explores what it means to be a multigenerational family on a mission through Mark 9:30–50.
Jesus catches His disciples arguing about who is the greatest, and instead of humiliating them publicly, He privately and graciously teaches them the upside-down way of the Kingdom: if you want to be first, become the servant of everyone.
This talk looks at humility, serving one another, welcoming children and those young in faith, taking sin seriously, and living as “salt” in the world — preserving what is good, beautiful, holy and true.
As UNLTD Church, we are called to be a family where everyone has a part to play, where we serve rather than seek status, and where our lives point people towards Jesus.

UNLTD FAMILY SERVICE - Help Me Overcome My Unbelief | Mark 9:14–29 | Matt Clayton | UNLTD Exeter
In this family-friendly talk from Mark 9:14–29, Matt explores one of the most honest prayers in the whole Gospel: “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief.”
As Jesus meets a desperate father and heals his son, we’re reminded that faith is not pretending we have no doubts. Faith is bringing our doubts, fears, and struggles honestly to Jesus and asking Him to meet us there.
This talk explores the spiritual battle between good and evil, the compassion and authority of Jesus, and the power of prayer when we feel weak, tired, or unsure. It is a reminder that God is still in the business of healing, restoring, and drawing near.
Whether you are full of faith or wrestling with unbelief, this message is an invitation to pray honestly, trust deeply, and remember that Jesus rescues and saves.
