Aletheia Sermon Audio

When Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, he confronts the Jewish rulers. His accusation is that they're pretending to be all about God but their hearts are really invested elsewhere. They're pretending. In this sermon, Pastor Adam shows how the same places pretense used to hide for them are the same places pretense hides for us today.

God is on a mission to bless the world, but Jesus is profoundly disturbed when His people fail to embrace that mission. In this sermon in Mark, Pastor Donny describes the dire consequences of fruitless faith.

Sometimes, everything seems like a ploy for power. Politicians volley for our votes, celebrities demand our attention, and we even seek acclaim for ourselves. In this sermon, however, Pastor Adam explores Mark 10 to unpack how Jesus' views on power upend the expectations of the rich and poor alike.

Have someone ever been too busy to meet with you? Oftentimes, big, important people are inaccessible to average humans. If Jesus is infinitely important person, we would expect the distance between our Lord and ourselves to span an eternal distance. However, using Mark 9, Pastor Adam Mabry shows that Jesus is the kind of leader who wants passionately to commune with His disciples.

In this guest message, Pastor Donnell Jones of Grace Covenant Church in Washington, DC explores what it means to take up one's cross to follow Jesus in the context of our modern world.

Is it possible to respect Jesus' authority and still fail to understand the true nature of his Kingdom? If we fail to see him not as a powerful despot, but rather as a trusted shepherd, then we absolutely miss something essential to Jesus' nature. In this sermon, Pastor Adam uses Mark 6 to show that Jesus is not only the one we obey, but also the one we can follow with joyful peace.

We all have urgent needs, but what do we do when God takes His time to meet those needs? In this sermon, Pastor Donny explores the stories of Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood to show that in our times of urgency, Jesus may ask more from us than we plan to give, but he will also give us more than we can ever imagine.

When Jesus first confronts the religious leaders in his day, it showed just how different kingdom life is from a life characterized by religion. In this sermon, Pastor Adam explains how religion and the gospel have very different things at their core.

Jesus is pretty neat, but what's up with healing and exorcisms in Scripture? Is any of that stuff real? Do any of those things possibly relate to my life today, and what does it say about Jesus' kingdom that he performs these miracles during his ministry? In this sermon, Pastor Adam addresses these questions and so much more as he explores how Mark shows Jesus to be King over our conflicts.

In superhero movies, only the best and brightest are chosen to lead the battle against evil. Yet, in Jesus' kingdom, things operate a bit differently. In this entry of the UpsideDown Kingdom series, Pastor Adam shows that discipleship is not a matter of merit, but rather the result of the compelling call to follow Jesus.

Discipleship isn't easy, but it can transform us into something greater than we ever imagined. In a guest sermon, Pastor Jim Laffoon shows how in under Jesus' reign, discipleship shapes us into citizens with proper character for the coming kingdom.

Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is extraordinarily rewarding, but it comes at a cost. In this sermon, Pastor Adam details what it means to willingly accept the call, the cost, and the crises of discipleship for the all-surpassing joy of knowing Jesus Christ.

For many, authority is a tricky subject. So many of our leaders, parents, teachers, and other figures of power have used their privileges to hurt and abuse us. Is there any King who can be good? In this introduction to a brand-new series, Pastor Adam unpacks the first chapter of Mark's gospel to preview how Jesus reveals himself to be the King whose goodness and faithfulness extend beyond our imaginations.

Many Christians consider church attendance par for the course in Christian life, but fail to understand what being in the Church truly means. On Newcomer's Sunday, Pastor Adam uses 1 Peter 2:9-10 to explore answers to an essential question: why does God want us at church?
