Aletheia Sermon Audio

What kind of people do we want to become? In Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, he discusses the transformative power of love and how it should permeate every aspect of our lives, shaping our actions and attitudes towards others. Listen in and learn how we can live a life led by love.

We're faced with many decisions that need to be made each day. In this sermon, we take a look at Jesus to see how he consistently made good decisions. We find that consistent faithfulness is the key to long-term fruitfulness. If you want to be fruitful, where do you need to be consistent?

Making good big decisions in life often begins with making good small decisions. It’s true with health, with money, and, more importantly, with following Jesus. In this first part of the series, we’re looking at one of the essential pre-decisions—pre-deciding to resist temptation.

What compels you to give your ultimate or final allegiance to something or someone? In this sermon, Pastor Adam invites us on a journey to discover the true meaning of redemption and salvation found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our king.

Have you ever asked, “What is God’s plan for my life?” The Bible gives a clear answer to that question—God’s plan is for his people to be priests. Unfortunately, the job of a priest is less familiar for us than it was for the original hearers of the New Testament letters. But by looking at Jesus’ work as our great high priest, we start to grasp what it means to be his priestly people.

Prophet, Priest, King — these three “offices” of Christ help us understand what it means to be God’s people. The Bible speaks about Jesus as the Great Prophet and we, his prophetic people. How do we live out our calling as his prophetic people? That’s the question we explore in this sermon.

The book of Isaiah ends with a vision of new heavens and a new earth from God for his people. What’s there? What’s not there? How should this vision impact the way we live today? In this sermon, we look to answer those questions and see how the vision of God’s new world points us to the hope we have in Jesus.

At the end of Isaiah 59, God promises to put the Spirit that’s on Isaiah into a generation of his people. Isaiah lived by the Spirit in his day, so what does it look like to live by the Spirit in our day. In this sermon, we look at questions we should ask of a prophetic, Spirit-empowered generation.

The Israelites were in geographical exile, but all humanity is in spiritual exile. We try to deal with our exile through life hacking and technique, but God has a better answer—the Servant. The Servant is the true answer to our exile, and in this sermon, we explore what the Servant does to end our exile.

From chapter 40 onward, Isaiah’s message is addressed to God’s people after the exile. But God wasn’t done with his people. God’s discipline was carried out in love, and his message to the exiles is one of comfort. In this sermon, Pastor Adam Mabry shows one of God’s major promises to his people—his presence.

Every now and then, a story is inserted into the poetry of Isaiah that acts like evidence for the message. This week’s story is about King Hezekiah. He faced odds that were totally against him, but it turns out chance and odds don’t apply to those who are called to trust God.

A “woe” in the Bible is an expression of dissatisfaction, anger, and sadness from God. In Isaiah 28, God’s woe is directed at the leaders of Judah who have chosen to trust political alliances rather than God. God’s woe against them shows us just how fragile and damaging self-reliance is, as well as what God has done to offer us something better.

Priests were an important part of keeping holiness going for Israel, but they were flawed. Whether or not we realize it, we treat certain people like priests, but any priest we trust is flawed…except Jesus.

How do we measure holiness? Many people think that morality is the measure of holiness. That’s certainly part of it, but Paul describes a holy life as one that pleases God. He also describes where we get the power to live that kind of life.

Holiness is a problem for sinful people because sinful people can’t be in the presence of a holy God. In this sermon, we learn how the only way to approach God is through atonement of sin and this he made possible through Jesus Christ.

Understanding the holiness of God helps us to see our unholiness and how only God can make us holy. God is not so holy that he wants nothing to do with us. But he is so holy he wants everything to do with us.

In this last part of The Big Give series we look at the last book of the Bible where we see a vision of eternity and how our ultimate source of hope rests in Jesus and in how he will make all things new.

As we continue with our Big Give series, we look at how Mary received the news delivered to her by an angel. Through Mary, we receive God’s big gift of himself and we are called to give the same to others.

There is a deep longing in our hearts for the promises of God. In this sermon, Pastor Donny shares how God speaks to our longing through Jesus, who becomes for us the proof that God keeps his promises.

We love the idea of being helped by others but have we stopped to consider being a helper to others? In this sermon, we will learn about God’s nature as our helper and how it is the foundation of our love, our hope, and our encouragement.
