1998 The Lighthouse I'm Building This House On The Rock This concert was on July 18, Matt's 21st birthday. Matt had joined The Hoppers the 10 months prior in September of 1997.
Mat pastored me in Tennessee in 2015 or 2016, but I was never able to tell him how much I appreciated it. Thanks Matt, you showed me God's love and patience. "But those who trust in the Lord shall renew their strengths."
I have always enjoyed and LOVED the HOPPERS! Especially Connie! If she doesn’t bless your heart then you must have something wrong with it! I have numerous DVDS 📀 of the HOPPERS and on one of them it shows the story of the HOPPER BROTHERS and Connie played the piano for them but when she married Claude Hopper that’s when they changed their name to the HOPPERS AND CONNIE! ❤❤❤
Matthew and his sister are some the best singers that I have ever heard. If he looked nervous it wasn't because he was on stage. He's been singing since he was 5 years old. Even today give that man a mike and a stage and he will make cry laughing. Merry Christmas, man.
WOW WOW WOW THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD THE LIGHT HPUSE SUNG. THIS MATT IS AMAZING AND ANOINTED!!!!!! DOES HE STILL SING I SURE HOPE SO. GOD BLESS HIM!!!!!!!
The Hoppers have always been my favourites! Matthew has a great voice 💕 I love the lyrics of the songs you sing every time.... reach down to the core!!
That was part of the show..He came up, looked nervous, a little scared, so when he nailed that 2nd verse and it would be powerful. I'm a retired Southern gospel singer. We always did funny skits and stuff like that, all groups do. I loved it! 😍
I’m willing to bet my bottom dollar that Matt’s parents are really grateful that the Hoppers gave him the chance to do what he does . I see God in this family.
I am grateful for the lighthouse. It guided me to Christ Jesus, God's perfect sacrifice for me. The one that reconciled me to God. Without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sin. THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME.
Wow !!! Matt you got a beautiful voice praise God 🙌🙌🙌🙌. Glory hallelujah praise Jesus Christ 🙌🙌🙌🙌 You have a spiritual blessing to listen too . God bless you. Don't ever give up your singing. Your are doing for the Lord. He will richly bless you. 🙌🙌🙏🙏
Oh my goodness I've never seen anybody that uncomfortable and scared on the stage as this young man it must have been his first time on the stage but he has a beautiful Angelic voice so if you thank you God bless you and job well done
Lol! He wasn't actually Nevis nervous. The whole thing was an act. He'd been singing on stages like that since he was a small boy. Dean was going to make comments about him being young, single and desperate so he did that nervous act to make the moment when he finished the 2nd verse of "the lighthouse" more dramatic
Innocent Mat with an Angelic Voice..He gave the Enemy a Black Eye,and Performed Spectacular; to the Glory of God, at the end..We give God the Glory..May God Continue to Bless him#ThumbsUpMAT😇🙏🤗🤗💞💜
I love this song, especially with Matt singing. Some people's comments show they don't know this is an act. Matt has sung all his life, so he wasn't nervous, it was a joke!
The Hoppers are my favorite group and always have been. I follow Connie as I am an alto. I loved this song w Matthew singing. If you know the Hoppers as I do, they don't halfway do anything. Yes that was an act...well played.
Not that he was not there long before this night, but the hand of Jesus touched this young man and you can certainly tell when. I pray this young man is still singing the praises of Jesus still today.
That kid has a great voice. May God bless him and keep him.

How many of us just need a little encouragement to shine!
