Aletheia Sermon Audio

Sometimes, it's really hard to make friends. Whether you're in high school, college, just starting your career, or nearing retirement, we all need to learn how to develop friendships that last and that draw us closer to God. In this sermon, Pastor Adam looks to Proverbs to provide wisdom about how we can grow up as godly friends.

Whether we're single, dating, or married, we all need the truth of the Gospel to shape the way we pursue and receive love.

Money. We all want it and we all need it. In our capitalist and consumerist culture, we all face the temptation to worship it. How do we learn to submit our money and our resources to the God who meet all of our needs? In this sermon, Pastor Adam looks to the generosity of the Church at Corinth in 2 Corinthians to illustrate that if we want to grow up in God, we've got to love God with our money.

God isn't the kind of person who simply wants us to follow His rules. True surrender to God involves our thoughts and feelings and affections as well. How do we learn to offer God our thoughts and feelings? In this sermon, Pastor Adam looks to Paul's second letter to the Corinthians to explore how growing up in God involves thinking how God thinks and feeling how God feels.

Who are you, and how do you know? We have tons of ideas about what lies at the center of our identities, but it turns out that who we truly are is reflected not in what we think, but in what we love. In this sermon, Pastor Adam shows us from 2 Corinthians that if we become what we behold, we must learn to behold God.

We know we need to mature. Americans spend more on self-help than any other country - more than the GDP of the poorest 62 nations on earth! But self, success, and security aren't large enough life-purposes. God has a bigger mission and a bigger vision, and it's going to require our full engagement and maturity. In this sermon, Pastor Adam teaches us from the Scripture that to grow up with time, we must grow up with wisdom.

In the final installation of our series in Habakkuk, Pastor Adam explores the reality of disappointment in faith - sometimes, God's answer to our situation doesn't meet our expectations of Him. What do we do in the midst of spiritual disappointment? The prophet Habakkuk answers with praise. In this sermon, we explore what it means to answer disappointment by allowing God's word to redefine our vision of God.

Justice is an essential topic in our culture. Who deserves what, and why? However, Christians have a special responsibility to ground our conceptions of justice in the character of the Ultimate Judge, God. Continuing our series in Habbakuk, Pastor Adam examines the Scriptures to uncover why God allows the wicked to prosper and allows injustice to exist. Most importantly, when God seems unfair and injustice seems pervasive, God's justice is still coming, so wait on Him.

We all face crises of extraordinary odds. How do we surrender to God's perfect plans during theses crises, and what does the Scripture reveal to us about managing our hearts during hard times? In this sermon, Guest Speaker and Aletheia Elder Jim Laffoon looks to the famous story of Joshua and the Walls of Jericho to illustrate how God gives us faith to win victory over the Jerichoes of our lives.

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.
