Aletheia Sermon Audio

We like God's plans for our lives to come through quickly. That's not always the case. When God seems slow, how do you live with hope instead of frustration? In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores the second part of Habakkuk's exchange with God to find the answer.

Sometimes, God seems deafeningly silent. In the midst of a world full of illness and senseless tragedy, how can Christians declare God to be good or faithful? In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores the words of the prophet Habakkuk to show that when we see evil and God seems silent, God sees more and His plan is at work.

Life can feel like a constant succession of battles. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, but we never experience the satisfaction of success for long. It's always on to the next thing until we die. Do any of our victories really matter? How can we experience victory of an eternal nature? In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Adam looks to 1 Corinthians 15 to show how the resurrection means final victory over our greatest enemy!

In the United States, there are about 400,000 children in the foster care system, and there are about 100,000 children still waiting to be adopted. In this final sermon of the How To Neighbor series, Pastor Adam illustrates how the Church can step in to embrace the orphaned among us, and shows from the Scripture that if God cares for the orphaned, so must his church.

Loneliness isn't just a matter of the quantity of friendships you have — it's a matter of the quality of relationships. In this sermon, Tyler Parker looks at Jesus's words in John 15 to show us how we can form the kind of friendships that are deep, and how we can extend that friendship to others experiencing loneliness.

In this sermon, we consider those of our neighbors of less means. The poor are always with us, but we often feel shame or guilt around their presence, and many times Christians feel paralyzed by the scale of poverty in our nation and around the world. How can Christians fulfill Christ's instructions to help the poor without robbing them of the autonomy and dignity of personal responsibility? In this sermon, Pastor Donny explores the Scriptures that if Christ empowers the poor, so should we.

How should Christians deal with racism in our modern context? How do we atone for our past failures to recognize the inherent dignity of our brothers and sisters? In this first installment of our new series How To Neighbor, Pastor Adam unpacks 1 Peter 2 to show how, despite all opposition, the races must be reconciled in the people of Jesus.

Though Jude takes heresy very seriously, he recognizes that God is able to pull his children back from the reaches of false doctrine. In this last sermon of the Heretic series, Pastor Donny explores the final section of Jude to illustrate how clear-eyed contending for the faith means practicing love in the confidence of grace.

In our modern times, political or cultural blasphemies appear to be far more important than blasphemies against God. However, as Jude warns, blasphemy against God is more serious than we could ever imagine. What is blasphemy, and how can we avoid speaking with with our mouths in our lives? In this sermon, Pastor Adam shows us from Jude why we should beware blasphemy, the root of all heresy.

There've been lots of doctrinal disputes in church history, but the greatest threats to the church have always been more sinister: the internal heretics in our hearts. Our internal heretics lead us confess one doctrine with our mouths while declaring other doctrines with our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Adam looks to the book of Jude to show how we must fight the internal heretic that changes grace into license.

What enables our non-Christian loved ones to accept and believe the Gospel? How does someone experience the transformation of their worldview? How can flawed human beings ever seek to carry out God's work on the Earth? In this final installment of This Is Our Time, Pastor Donny Fisher shows us how Jesus answers all these questions for us through the person of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live out God's mission for the sake of those around us.

Ministry sounds like something that ministers do, but we can wrongly assume that ministers are only paid professionals, like pastors or church staff. In this sermon, Pastor Adam looks at Ephesians 4, where Paul describes how church leaders are meant to equip disciples for ministry. Leaders do the equipping and all followers of Jesus do the ministry.

"There was no king in those days, and everyone did what was right in his own eyes (Judges 21:25)." These words punctuate a horrific period in Israel's history, and yet, they also seem to parallel our modern world. How can we learn to practice true goodness when our world has so many different definitions of "good living?" In this sermon, Pastor Adam shows that it is only by being established in God's Word that humanity has any hope of escaping enslavement to our desires and the freedom to serve a truly good God.

Just as an engaged couple is in-between dating and marriage, so we, engaged to Christ as His church, are in-between a broken world and the redeemed world to come. Yet, our engagement isn't static. We're called to prepare for the wedding. In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores how our engagement to Christ calls us to engage with our world for the sake of the Gospel and the coming Kingdom.

When he was a member of Pharoah's household, Moses had significant political power, extraordinary pleasures, and treasures beyond what most humans have ever seen. Yet, when God called him to identify with God's people and lead them out of slavery, Moses' faith faced its biggest test. In this sermon, Pastor Adam shows from Hebrews 11 how great faith calls us to withstand great pressure from the myriad temptations the world offers.

Abraham and Sarah received some of God's most incredible promises, but their faith in those promises was tested in extraordinary ways. What do we do when God has declared his promises, but the world makes us doubt? In this sermon, Pastor Donny digs into Hebrews to show us how Great Faith calls us to follow God in the present while focusing on his promise.

The Bible is filled with faith greats like Abraham, Noah, and Moses. It seems like they accomplished so much for God, and when we compare our faith to theirs, it seems impossible that we could ever measure up. Yet, as Campus and Youth Director Kevin McKenzie shows from the example of Enoch, trusting God with the mundane, everyday tasks of life looks exactly like great faith to the Father.
