[@jonathanbailey7311]

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 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.

[@douglasgayhardt4231]

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! ❤❤❤

[@jaysonstacey579]

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.

[@pagpatpottsy26]

God bless you Matt. You did great. Love your voice.

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.

the most fun I ever had was singing in a backup choir "Wilmington Celebration Choir" with the Hoppers...They are great people...happy birthday Matt

[@lindabarnes7223]

We did the same in Collierville, Tennessee!

[@rl839]

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.

[@cyndijackson2082]

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.

[@cdog6725]

You are being blessed keep singing his praises

[@carolwatson988]

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

[@blakeedmondson9573]

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

[@nannyi6166]

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!

I remember being that nervous my first time singing in public. He was great!

[@CinthiaMcDaniel-Smith]

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! 😍
