Aletheia Sermon Audio

What does it mean to pray, “Break me”? When we pray “Break me,” we’re not asking to be destroyed—we’re asking to be released. Released from our past, from false identities, from misplaced security. Because the truth is: your most meaningful ministry will often rise from your deepest breaking. And in the hands of Jesus, nothing surrendered is wasted.

Has guilt, shame, or fear ever caused you to hide? But Psalm 139 ends with a bold and vulnerable prayer: “Search me, O God.” Pastor Adam unpacks how that prayer leads us out of hiding and into deeper freedom.

In Acts 8, we see a powerful moment where God weaves two stories together—Philip’s obedience and the Ethiopian official’s search for truth. In this sermon, we’re reminded to love people and trust God with the story he’s writing. Even when things are hard or unclear, we can obey with confidence, knowing that the author of the big story is the same one guiding our little ones, and his ending is always redemption.

Before Isaiah could be sent, he had to be undone. Isaiah’s story shows us that we’re not ready for the mission of God until we’ve come face-to-face with the holiness of God and surrendered everything. We see how encountering God’s holiness leads to confession, healing, and ultimately, calling. It’s grace that sends us. And it’s grace that sustains us.

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah hits rock bottom. But even there, God meets him with healing, community, and a renewed calling. In this sermon, we explore how Elijah’s story reminds us that we were made for more than just survival—we were made for God’s mission. Through suffering, healing, relationships, and renewed calling, God draws us back to his purpose. Just like Elijah, we’re reminded that our lives matter, not just for today, but for the next generation.

What do we do when we’ve fallen into sin? In Micah 7, the prophet shows us a path that’s honest, hopeful, and anchored in grace. Instead of denying or drowning in guilt, we’re invited to respond with a heart that mourns sin, rebukes the enemy, acknowledges God’s justice, and waits on His mercy. God meets us in our lowest moments not to shame us, but to convict, comfort, and restore.

We all feel the pull to escape into distractions, habits, or anything that helps us avoid the pressure and pace of life. But in Ephesians 5, Paul points us toward something better: life in the Spirit. In this episode, we unpack how being filled with the Holy Spirit empowers you to live wisely, discern God’s will, and find meaning even in the mundane. Instead of zoning out, the Spirit calls us to zone in—to walk in wisdom, gratitude, and purpose.

Pentecost wasn’t just the birth of the Church—it was the beginning of a Spirit-filled movement to reach the nations with the gospel. In this sermon, we look at Acts 2 and how God’s very presence in his people was meant to propel them outward with the good news of Jesus. We’re invited to be part of that same mission today—through prayer, generosity, and a willingness to go.

The Spirit of God isn’t just a vague force, He’s a gift from the Father, given through the Son, and He’s with us, in us, and working through us. We look into John 14 and 16 and talk about how through the Spirit, we’re invited to walk with God, love Him, and love others. And just like Jesus needed the Spirit to live out His mission, so do we.

The Holy Spirit isn’t just a force or a feeling—He is the powerful presence of God, giving us life. In this sermon, we examine Ezekiel 36 and explore why we need the Holy Spirit. He’s the one who gives us life, who regenerates our hearts, and who applies everything Jesus has accomplished to us. Without him, we can’t live, we can’t grow, and we can’t truly follow Jesus.

What kind of work will God reward? In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul reminds us that even as believers, the work we do will be tested. Whether you work in corporate, in ministry, healthcare, or creative space, it’s not just about what you do, but how and why you do it. When your work is rooted in Christ and fueled by love, it’s never in vain.

What does it look like to really do a good job? Proverbs 31 gives us a picture of work shaped by wisdom, integrity, and purpose. In this sermon, we learn how doing a good job is not about hustling for your own glory, but faithful work that honors God and blesses others.

When work is hard, how do we respond? In this sermon, we explore how the frustration we feel in our jobs can actually reveal what’s going on in our hearts. Work was a good gift from God that’s now marked by struggle, but through Jesus, that curse is being healed.

From the beginning, work was never meant to be a burden but a meaningful partnership with God himself — a vital part of what it means to be human. In this sermon, we’re looking at Genesis 2:4–19 and talking about how God made us for good, meaningful, creative work — not just to get by, but to partner with him.

On Good Friday, we remember the depth of God’s love — a love so committed, it faced death itself to rescue us. In this sermon, we reflect on the cross where Jesus became both our Passover lamb and our substitute, cleansing us from sin and bearing the judgment we deserved.

The resurrection changed everything—but what will you do with the good news? In Luke 24:1–12, we see different reactions: the women ran to tell it, the disciples dismissed it, and Peter investigated and ended up marveling. We break down each response and ask: are you telling, doubting, exploring, or marveling? The gospel invites us to consider the evidence and be amazed.

Paul shows us how to gospel well—by letting our hearts be stirred, stepping into real conversations, and pointing people to Jesus. In this sermon, we talk about spotting gospel moments, building bridges, speaking truth with love, and why the resurrection changes everything.

The gospel of Christ is both a comfort and a confrontation, and as we faithfully proclaim it, we can expect a variety of responses. Yet, regardless of how people respond, at the core of our mission is the love of Jesus that compels us to continue sharing his truth. In this sermon, let us be encouraged to faithfully declare the gospel, trust God to bring about transformation, and respond with grace to whatever unfolds.

No one is excluded from hearing and believing the gospel. Looking at the story of Peter and the gentile, Cornelius, in Acts 10:34-48, we see that as God calls us to share the gospel with everyone he is also at work in people’s lives, preparing their hearts to receive the message of Christ.

In this sermon, we explore Acts 2:22-41 and the call to boldly proclaim the gospel—the good news that sinners can be made righteous through Christ. Boldness comes as a gift from the Holy Spirit, empowering us to share the only hope for salvation—Jesus Christ. We learn some practical ways to step out in faith and proclaim the gospel to those around you.
