Aletheia Sermon Audio

Control. We all want it, and many of us will do anything to get it and keep it. But what do we do when Jesus demands it? In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores the implications of a Jesus who demands control from us, and demonstrates he's good enough for us to trust him with it.

This familiar story — the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead — displays the love of Jesus to us. But how does Jesus love us? In what way is his love expressed? In this sermon Pastor Adam unpacks the sovereign, suffering, and victorious love of Jesus for his people.

Jesus is the shepherd, so who are his sheep? In John 10:22-40, Jesus gives us two hard truths — that God chooses his sheep, and that he does so in Christ his Son.

In this sermon, Pastor Adam unpacks John 10:1-21, where Jesus tells us that he is The Good Shepherd. By drawing out a contrast between himself as The Good Shepherd, he points out what a bad shepherd looks like, and how his sheep can avoid them.

As Jesus heals a man who was born blind from birth, the Apostle John tells us a deeper story of who Jesus Christ truly is.

In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores the controversial teaching of Jesus in John 8, when Jesus states plainly that he is God, to a crowd full of people who didn't want to hear it. What does the supremacy of Christ mean for us? Listen to find out.

In this sermon, Pastor Adam unpacked Jesus' statement, "I am the Light of the World." As we'll see, the good news of Jesus as the light of the world involves the bad news that we are in darkness. But graciously, God doesn't leave us in darkness.

In this familiar story, Jesus feeds the 5,000. But, what is this story really about? Is there more to be learned here than simply that Jesus gives us our "daily bread?"

Authority is a concept that we're all familiar with but few of us are excited about. In this sermon, Pastor Adam unpacked the scope and source of Jesus' authority. Why is it good news that Jesus has all authority? As we'll see, it's because only Jesus wields his authority with the heart of a servant.

In this passage of the Scriptures, Pastor Adam unpacks a tale of two very different but very important miracles. As Jesus reveals himself further in these stories, we find him to be more than a miracle worker, but the Son of God, the giver of sovereign grace.

As we continue in the book of John, we come to the story of the woman at the well. This woman represents the picture of someone who seems least likely to qualify for the love of Jesus. And yet, Jesus love comes to least of us. It's been said Christians are spiritual beggars telling other beggars where to find bread. In this text, we find bread.

In this sermon, guest speaker Nick Nowalk takes us through one of the most famous (and most misunderstood) part of the Bible, the third chapter of John. The phrase "born again," has gotten a lot of mileage, but do we really understand what it means? Nick helps us understand that more than simply a personal choice, the new birth is about being completely remade by God's grace in Jesus Christ for a whole new world that Jesus is bringing.

In this sermon, special guest Dr. Stephen Mansfield taught us from John 13-25. In this familiar story, we find not a safe, gentle Jesus, but a dangerous, passionate Jesus. What was the object of his passion? The pure worship of God, the destruction of racist hatred, and the acceptance of the gentile nations into the family of God.

This miracle — one of the most familiar in Jesus's ministry — is among the most misunderstood, as well. Why did Jesus transform the water into wine? What was the point of the miracle? As we explore John 2, we discover that the wine of God's grace in Jesus is better than religious observance or irreligious disobedience.

In this sermon, Pastor Adam continues to walk us through the Gospel of John as we turn our attention to what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ — one who delights in dwelling with Jesus and one who desires to declare him to others.

As the Apostle John introduces us to John the Baptist, we discover a humble man whose identity, activity, and story all centered on Jesus.

In this sermon, we begin our new teaching series called, "That You May Believe," a journey through the Gospel of John. Pastor Adam Mabry explores the prologue of John's gospel, 1:1-18. In this passage we discover that the good news of the gospel is that our Maker became a man, so that men and women could be reconciled to their Maker.

In this final sermon in the teaching series, Pastor Adam explores the significance of the doctrine of "the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting." What difference does this make? As it turns out, what you believe about the future deeply affects how you live in the present.

Who is the Holy Spirit? Furthermore, what does he do? In this sermon, Pastor Adam unpacks the person and work of the Holy Spirit as the one who enables us to be disciples of Jesus Christ, and the one who empowers us to make them.
