The Centurion's Faith

The healing of a centurion's servant in Matthew 8:5–13 highlights one soldier's humility and extraordinary faith in Jesus' authority. Jesus' compassion toward this unlikely seeker shows that faith, not pedigree, grants access to God's kingdom.
The sermon connects the story to Abraham's faith, explains the banquet of the kingdom, and challenges listeners to submit daily to Jesus' authority—trusting him with both personal struggles and larger social concerns.

Jesus Makes Us Clean

After the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus came down the mountain and demonstrated his spiritual authority over sickness and demons, the nations and nature, and even sin itself. He begins by bringing holistic healing to a man with leprosy, and restoring him to community. Jesus continues to demonstrate his spiritual authority today, in and through the life of his church, by taking down the mountains we face in our ordinary lives. 

Prepare Him Room w/ Candise Wade

Luke 2:36–38 introduces the prophetess Anna, emphasizing long waiting, persistent prayer, and the posture of longing during Advent. Her story demonstrates how prayerful watchfulness prepares us to recognize Christ’s comings in everyday life.
Practical invitations include setting aside focused time to encounter Jesus, memorizing simple prayers, and cultivating spiritual vigilance—‘buying oil’—so we are ready to receive the Savior with gratitude and active devotion when he comes.

Waiting on God's Word

Luke 1:5-25 tells the story of God announcing the miraculous birth of John the Baptist to a faithful, elderly couple, Zechariah and Elizabeth. Through their story we discover that we too can be blameless and still barren, and hear the call to keep our lamps burning, especially when life feels dark. God will meet us in our waiting. The question is, how will we respond?

A Yielded Life + 2025 Financial Update

Advent is a time of waiting that invites us to reflect on the ways we too await God's word to be fulfilled in our lives. This week, we reflect on Mary’s yielded life as a model for trusting God without full answers, committing to a costly process, and finding peace. Like her, we call our whole community to say “yes” to God with our whole selves, even when it costs us, trusting that God's light will outshine the dark. This podcast episode also includes our first ever financial update as we reflect on God's faithfulness to All Saints through the generosity of His people. We invite our whole church to take ownership of the story God is writing in this church plant through regular, prayerful contribution to the work of Jesus in our community. Listen now for more!

God With Us, East of Eden

As we close our Origins series and enter the season of Advent, scripture leaves us with a timely reminder: Even in darkness and wastelands, God is with us. He gives us hope to endure and a fire to carry until He comes again. 

Death Is Not the End

Human sin unravels God’s good world and leads to death. Death unfolds through decreation and alienation, limiting our ability to multiply God's image and bring order and beauty to the world. Yet death is not the end. In Christ, sin never has the final word.

When We Hide, God Hunts

In the moments after the first humans reject him, God graciously moves towards humanity to speak with us–and confront our spiritual enemy. God exposes the serpent's deception and pronounces punishments upon him, culminating in the promise of a Savior born of human seed who will defeat the serpent for good. From the beginning of scripture we discover that when we hide, God hunts. He draws close to us and destroys our enemy.

Resist the Serpent

Genesis 3:1-7 introduces the serpent, a mysterious creature whom Scripture reveals as a rebel against God and an enemy of humanity. In the garden, we discover the serpent's tactics—twisting God's words, telling us lies, and turning our gaze from God—while hearing God's call to recognize spiritual reality, resist the serpent's strategies, and rest in Christ's victory. We have a Savior who is sufficient, stronger, and worthy of all our praise!

It's Not Good to Be Alone

Before sin entered the world, the only thing God calls "not good" is a human without community. You were created with a holy longing to be with others, and Genesis 2 demonstrates how God's good design for community is fulfilled in marriage, mission, and ultimately the Church. As we lean in to love and be loved by one another, we experience a foretaste of eternity right here on earth.
