About us
Welcome to Explain the Word, a free-to-all collection of sermons founded in 2022 by Matthew Hagg, the grandson of Dr. Gregory Hagg.
Growing up, I was deeply inspired by my grandfather’s thoughtful insights into the Bible, and my love for his teachings led me to create this platform to share his perspectives with everyone.
Dr. Gregory Hagg, a respected pastor and missionary, has dedicated over 20 years to preaching at Mountainside Chapel, and other churches throughout the United States. His sermons cover a wide range of topics, offering a unique perspective by drawing on his deep understanding of Biblical theology and his knowledge in Messianic Jewish theology. Known for his leadership roles in organizations like Dallas Theological Seminary and the Feinberg Center for Messianic Jewish Studies, Dr. Hagg’s dedication to building bridges between Jewish and Christian communities has made him a beloved figure in both.
At Explain the Word, we are continually expanding our collection of Dr. Hagg’s teachings, many of which are being digitized from old cassette recordings. Our goal is to offer a platform where believers from around the world can learn, grow, and connect through Dr. Hagg’s timeless sermons. Whether you are new to the faith or a seasoned believer, there's something here for everyone as we explore the Word of God together.
​
Thank you for being a part of Explain the Word and joining me in discovering the wonders of the Bible through my grandfather's teachings, just as I have since I was a child.
