Aletheia Church, Providence Ri

When the world feels fractured by violence, division, and fear, where can we place our hope? In Revelation 7:9–17, we’re given a heavenly vision: a countless, multi-ethnic multitude gathered before the throne of Jesus, unified in worship. This is not just a future reality—it shapes our calling now: to resist fear, love our neighbor, and live as a diverse, unified family of faith.

What shapes the values of the church? Not preference, not culture, but the gospel story. In this sermon from Ephesians 2:1–10, we continue our House Rules series and explore our church values: Truth, Grace, and Change. Discover how the gospel rewrites our story and calls us into a life marked by humility, freedom, and transformation.

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this sermon on Matthew 28:18–20, Pastor Adam reminds us that in this house, we are disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. Every believer has a next step—whether it’s exploring faith, deepening foundations, leading others, or even stepping into ministry. Discover what it means to obey Jesus’ final command and how God’s promise of his presence empowers us to go.

Spiritual warfare isn’t just dramatic exorcisms or strange encounters—it’s the daily battle against deception and discouragement. In this sermon, we explore the nature of spiritual warfare, the armor God gives us, and the help of the Holy Spirit so that we can stand firm in the evil day.

Saul had everything—status, reputation, religious zeal. But on the road to Damascus, everything changed. Jesus interrupts Saul’s mission and flips his world upside down, turning him from persecutor to preacher. In this message, we see how Jesus still meets people where they are, strips away false identities, and replaces them with the surpassing worth of knowing him. The question isn’t whether Jesus will lead—it’s whether we’ll follow when he does.

In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done. In this sermon, we explore the dangerous but transformative prayer: Lead me. We unpack what it means to truly let go of control and allow God to shape our lives around his holiness, his kingdom, and his will.

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.

Proverbs 3:5–6 is one of the most quoted verses in Scripture—but how do we actually live it out? In this sermon, we talk about what it means to truly trust in the Lord with all your heart. It’s a daily choice to trust—not just with your plans, but with your entire path.

“Do not lose heart.” That’s not a cliché. It’s a call to focus. From the reality that God changes hearts, to the truth that our suffering reveals Christ, and the promise that our inner selves are being renewed day by day—Paul’s message in 2 Corinthians 4 speaks courage into weary hearts. You are not without hope. And your weakness? It’s not a flaw—it’s the very place God shines.

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.

In Ephesians 3:17–19, Paul prays a timeless prayer for strength, depth, and the life-changing knowledge of Christ’s love. In this sermon, we unpack what it means to be strengthened by the Spirit in our inner being, especially when life is hard. We see God’s love doesn't shift with our circumstances—it remains constant; and as we grow in truly knowing and experiencing that love, we find strength, hope, and power that lasts.

The early church wasn’t just a crowd of believers—it was a spiritual family, shaped by the message of Jesus. In Acts 2, we see a community marked by unity in purpose and diversity in background, all centered on Christ. We explore how Jesus redefines what family means, and how the beauty and power of spiritual family isn’t something we manufacture—it’s something God creates when we respond to His message.

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.
