Aletheia Sermon Audio

In chapter eleven of Romans, Paul builds into a crescendo and breaks into song. We all want his same experience of awe and wonder, but we need to see that he gets there through the most surprising route—by thinking about God's severity and kindness. In this sermon, Pastor Adam unpacks what it is about God's severity and kindness that should lead us to worship and humility.

We received a special visit from Pastor Brett Fuller of Grace Covenant Church in Chantilly, VA! In this sermon, Pastor Fuller mines Jesus' words about peacemakers to cast a uniquely Christian vision of stewardship, love and reconciliation in God's multi-ethnic church.

We’ve looked at some mind-bending topics over the past two weeks as Paul endeavors to give us a peak into the mind of God. In the rest of chapter ten, however, he’s going to show us that that the while the inner workings of God’s mind may be complicated, His plan is simple. In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores Romans 10 to uncover Paul's conviction that the gospel is simple, has a simple message and a simple method, and calls for a simple response.

What does it mean for the gospel to be "a stumbling block of offense?" Is it ever ok for the Gospel to be offensive, and, if so, to whom is the Gospel meant to be offensive? In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores Romans 9 to unveil how the Gospel is a stumbling block of offense to the self-righteous so that we may receive the righteousness of God.

This week, we begin Romans Season 3 with a stunning passage from Romans 9. In it, Paul seems to imply that God chooses whom to love and chooses others to relegate to destruction. How can a God like this be just or loving? In this sermon, Pastor Adam illustrates how the Apostle Paul explains the Gospel in a way that responds to these objections and expounds upon the striking conclusion that God chooses.

Suffering is an unfortunate fact of life for both Christians and non-Christians. However, those who belong to Jesus have access to a unique solution in the midst of our suffering - access to the intercession of God's Holy Spirit. What does this mean, and how can we access the peace the Spirit provides? In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores the second half of Romans 8 to explain how the Spirit sanctifies us through suffering.

We're back in Romans Season 2! In Romans 8, Paul begins to expound upon the concept of the Holy Spirit and its role in salvation. How does the Holy Spirit change the way we relate to God? What does the Holy Spirit produce in our lives? In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores the first section of Romans 8 to explain what it means for followers of Jesus to be Spirit-filled sons of God.

Where can we find the good life? Money? Security? Fitness? Family? How do we discover that which can provide us with an eternal sense of satisfaction? In this sermon from the Promise Kept series, Pastor Adam explores Revelation to show that the good life is positioned between God's promises, amidst His presence.

In this sermon series Promise Kept, we've been examining promises given by God found in Old Testament prophecies and exploring the ways in which God has fulfilled those promises through Jesus! Today, Pastor Donny digs into Zechariah to show that God is building his Holy Temple through Jesus, and we, as followers of Jesus, represent the stones of this temple.

How do we reckon with God's call to perfect holiness? As humans, we know we're imperfect. We know we don't measure up to God's perfect standard, so sometimes we may try to cover up our imperfections like Adam and Eve or ignore the sins that are endemic to our lives. In this sermon from the Promise Kept series, Pastor Adam explores Isaiah 4 to warn us against mistaking "pretty" for "pure" and to urge to tap into God's cleansing power for our souls.

In the book of Jeremiah, God promises that a Righteous One will arise to create a people of righteousness who will spread God's presence throughout the world. As the people of our world search for meaning and satisfaction, who will share God's redeeming and fulfilling presence with our neighbors? In this first sermon of the Promise Kept series, Pastor Adam explains how we, God's people, are the promised priests who fill the world with the presence of God.

In a city as academic as Boston, it's easy to think about discipleship in terms of classes or theological and theoretical exercises. However, discipleship in the mold of Jesus is a deeply experiential and practical endeavor. Given that practicing discipleship is important in following Jesus, how is it that Christians should approach generosity? In this sermon on Big Give Sunday, Pastor Adam explores Micah 6 to show that the practice of giving generously allows us to practice apprenticeship of Jesus.

In chapter seven of Romans, Paul gets honest about his own experience with sanctification. He wants his fellow disciples to understand why sanctification can be frustrating and slow-going at times, but also how to face it with God's grace. In this sermon, Pastor Adam explains how Paul's own thinking about sanctification can help us walk the road of obedience to Jesus.

What's obedience all about? Is obeying God all about avoiding hell, or could obedience be about something greater? In this sermon, campus minister David Fulton explores Romans 6 to show how obedience is about a lot more than rules. After all, obedience leads to life.

God made us to have dominion over all created things, but we lost our right to rule when the first humans submitted their God-given authorities to Satan. In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores Romans chapters 5 and 6 to illustrate how exactly Jesus's sacrifice restores to us the right to reign.

We normally think of hope as a positive expectations. But what does hope look like when positive expectations are hard to cultivate? Does the gospel provide us with a more durable hope? In this first episode of Romans Season 2, Pastor Adam shows from Romans chapter 5 that the gospel teaches us exactly how to hope.

Each of our elders shared testimonies of God's faithfulness in their lives. In this sermon, Pastor Ron Echols shares his personal experience of what God's faithfulness looks like in action.
