All Souls Church Sermon Podcast

John the Baptist, Christ's appointed prophet, is killed for calling out the sin in the political leader Herod.

In this second sermon in our new series, "Who Is Jesus?", we see that the God-man is the ultimate and true prophet!

As we begin our new series continuing in the book of Mark, we see Jesus as a healer, even raising a young girl from the dead! But was his message of power meant for physical healing only?

Our Easter service, filled with joy and hope! He is risen!

We celebrate and commemorate Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem. Many of the people believe he will be their new military leader, but he makes it clear he has something much more important to offer.

Jesus casts out a legion of demons from a possessed man, but those who witness it fail to recognize His divinity.

As Jesus continues to speak to the public using parables, He likens God's kingdom to that of a tiny seed which grows.

Jesus often spoke to those following Him using parables. In this passage, we see Him using the story of a farmer planting seeds to illustrate how the gospel is spread to all peoples, even if not every "seed" takes root.

In this sermon, we tackle the topic of disbelief and lack of trust in the person of Jesus Christ.

In this sermon, we take a look at the unique backgrounds of the twelve disciples Jesus chose to follow Him. These men became intimate friends of Jesus, sitting under His daily teaching for several years.

Jesus exemplifies what it is to love unconditionally as he heals a disabled man, causing the religious zealots to plot his murder.

In this passage, we see Jesus teaching against the man-made rules added to the Gospel.

In this sermon, we see Jesus once again acting counter-culturally, befriending those who were seen as traitors, dirty, and evil.

Here we learn about the story of the paralyzed man who was healed by Jesus; but first, Jesus forgave his sins! In an act of obvious defiance of the scribes and pharisees watching the events, Jesus announces himself as God Himself by announcing he has the power to cleanse someone of their sins.

Although Jesus healed many people, and almost never denied kindness to others, this passage in Mark shows Jesus stating his most important mission on earth: to preach.

In this sermon, we learn how Jesus himself defeated the devil, a foretaste of Lucifer's final defeat in the end times.

In our second sermon from the book of Mark, we see Jesus saying something a bit peculiar to his new disciples: "be fishers of men". We learn what this means, how it applied to the disciples, and why it applies to us as believers today. Apologies for the change in audio quality in the middle of this recording; we are hoping to resolve this issue soon!

During our new sermon series in the gospel of Mark, we'll learn just who Jesus Christ was, and how His life proved that He was not just a man, but the perfect Son of the Father.

As the last message in our series through the book of Titus, we learn about one of the most important aspects of Christian life: what good works are, and why we should do them.

As we begin to close our study in Titus, we learn where our true identity lies, and how we receive it and live within it.

This sermon is all about grace; specifically, God's grace towards us, and how that should influence the way we treat others! This sermon covers topics such as: what is grace, what do we "do" with the grace we've been given, and how do we live in that grace.

In this passage of Titus, we learn about how church members should behave and what characteristics should be grown or killed.

All Souls member and retired pastor Tom Kendall opens up the Word to Luke 17.

In the book of Titus, the apostle Paul lays the foundation of the standards set for a leader in the church, and what temperament and qualifications they must posses in order to effectively lead God's people.

In the first sermon of our new series in Titus, pastor Harvey Turner walk us through the first few verses of Paul's introduction, and explains how our salvation has been determined from eternity past.

In the last message from our series "Cruciform", Pastor Harvey exposits the apostle Paul's final charge to believers: search yourselves to see if you are in the Faith.

The apostle Paul realizes that the Lord will not remove his suffering because God's grace is sufficient for him.

The apostle Paul defends himself as he warns of the dangers of the misleading "super-apostles" in the Corinthian church. He describes the amount of suffering and danger he has undergone in order to bring the Gospel to unbelievers.

Paul the apostle urges believers to take "every thought captive for Christ", and to not allow the lies of the world to infiltrate our faith in the truth of the gospel.

We continue the conversation on giving sacrificially in the name of Jesus, as an overflow of His generosity towards us.

Why are Christians called to be the most generous people?

The Apostle Paul makes it clear to the church in Corinth, and to us, that grieving over our sin for a time leads to life, while grieving in a worldly way brings death.

The path of Christ demands that we don't use God's grace in vain. Instead, we carry the cross so we can die to our old selves and be made new in Him!

In this sermon, we learn that this world is not our home, and are encouraged to pursue our mission of presenting the gospel to the lost, not out of pride, but so they too can share in the joys of heaven!

In this encouraging message, the Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthian church about the sacrifices he made for them in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul hits home one main point in this chapter of 2 Corinthians: in Christ, there is freedom!

Here we learn about the Apostle Paul, and how he dealt with huge conflicts in the church.

Guest speaker and All Souls member Tom Kendall brings us a one-off sermon that shows the value of the Old Testament. In order to properly understand the New Testament and the story of Jesus and His Gospel, we must study the oldest scriptures which prophecy of His coming.

As we continue our series in 2 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul speaks to the church in Corinth about his integrity as he begins addressing issues in the church.

As we begin our new series in 2 Corinthians, the first lesson we learn is that we are comforted by God in our pain order to spread to and share that comfort with others.

As we study the last of the Ten Commandments, it becomes evident that the last is connected to the first. We learn that in order to battle against covetousness, we must find our satisfaction in Christ, and not fall prey to the idolatry of comparison to others.

With a command not to lie, God is not only telling us to avoid speaking untruth, but to embrace the Truth, Jesus Christ himself. To beat the lie, we must run to the Truth. Pastor Harvey looks at the original lie, told by the devil to Adam and Eve, and shows how that theme has been repeated in every human heart since creation.

Our idea of stealing is often limited to simply "not taking what isn't yours", but Jesus gives us a calling that goes beyond simply "not taking". To be a Christian means to live a life of giving and to work honestly.

The seventh command God gave his people was more than a rule that said "don't cheat on your spouse"; it is a calling to value sexuality as gift that is only meant to be expressed in certain contexts, and for the glory of God and to promote human flourishing.

Although the pinnacle of human hatred is the physical act of vengefully taking human life, Jesus taught that the sixth commandment is interested in our hearts much more than just our actions. After a deep study, we find that this commandment may very well be one of the hardest to follow!

In His infinite wisdom, the Lord has set up the world to be structured according to various authorities, the most powerful and consequential one being Himself, of course. But despite the fact that He is the ultimate authority, He commands us to honor the first instances of authority in our lives: our parents. The familial structure and the subordination we give to our parents also carries over into other areas of our lives.

Why are we told to take a day off? Doesn't God want us to be productive? Can't we worship Him while also working? What is the importance of going to church on Sunday?

When we are commanded "do not take the Lord your God's name in vain", what does that mean? Does it only apply to swearing in God's name, or are there deeper functions of the command that reveal our true thoughts and feelings about God?

Pastor Harvey Turner teaches on the second of the en Commandments, which forbids us to worship "images" as idols. What does this mean, and how does it apply to our modern lives?

In our new series on the Ten Commandments, Pastor Harvey introduces us to the first, and perhaps the most important, commandment. This law precedes the other nine, and gives us a perspective as to why the others even exist!

In this one-off sermon, former missionary and current All Souls member Steve Kaptain teaches on the perspective with which we should view each other and the church.
