All Saints Church Podcast

To become healthy disciples, we need those who have gone before us to show us the way. For the men at All Saints Church, this means cultivating a community where men make the investment in the next generation, model healthy masculinity to those around us, and are willing to be made well by Jesus.

Paul gives Titus an urgent call to confront deceptive teachers in Crete, because they are destroying whole households with their false gospel. To confront the false gospels in our own time, we must become lovers of the truth who see through lies, shut the door on corrupting influences, and speak truth to restore those who have fallen away.

Elders are official church leaders who are recognized within their community, called by God, and appointed by fellow elders to cultivate Kingdom culture in local churches. They do this by managing God’s household, modeling God's ways, teaching God's word, and protecting God's people. But more important than what they do is what they smell like. And shepherds smell like sheep. 

The gospel of Jesus Christ confronts and corrects our culture to make it more like the kingdom of heaven. The letter to Titus is a classic example of this process at work: On the island of Crete is a young church struggling to live out Jesus' kingdom amidst their native cultural narratives and social norms, so Paul sends Titus to finish what remains unfinished. He must strengthen their faith, but also confront the false gods that drawing the church away from Jesus. If we invite Him, the Holy Spirit will use these Scriptures to do the same for us. 
This message launches our new series "Culture Wars," exploring how the gospel cultivates and confronts culture, calling believers to be agents of transformation in our cities, communities, and personal lives.

Christ is risen! We all come to the empty tomb with different perspectives, and Jesus meets each of us right where we are. Using three perspectives—Mary’s sorrow, John’s belief, and Thomas’s doubt—we discover how the resurrection meets the sorrowful with hope, invites skeptics into encounter, and calls believers to deeper understanding and steady faith.

Brad McKoy, a dear friend of All Saints, shares the meaning of the Palm Sunday cry "Hosanna." More than a passing praise, it is a plea to save, liberate, and deliver. This message is a timely correction for when our expectations of the Messiah differ from Jesus' gentle, sacrificial character. May we grow in persistent faith and daily devotion to the real Jesus!

The Bible is both literature and alive, able to pierce our souls and shape our hearts with the truth of the gospel. As we close our series on Reading Scripture Well, we discover how stories—especially Jesus’ parables—form our imagination and understanding of the God who designed us to experience him through His word. We don't just read scripture; by God's Spirit, scripture reads us. 

Reading scripture as an act of spiritual warfare helps us to remember who we are and demolish demonic doctrines. Learning to wisely wield this "sword of the Spirit" is a lifelong journey, but we can grow in our discipleship each day as we memorize, pray and obey the Word of God. 

Encountering Jesus in the word through daily devotions is vital to our spiritual formation, but it was never meant to be done alone. Reading scripture well requires us to read with our spiritual forefathers (and mothers), our global neighbors, and our local community. When we do, we become faithful readers committed to the faith that was "once and for all entrusted to the saints" in the long story our Father left us. 

One of the boldest claims Jesus makes is that the whole Bible is about him. He is the lens through which we interpret scripture, the light by which we read, and his life tells the story that makes sense of everything else. Yet before we can read scripture well, many of us need Jesus to meet us in the middle of confusion, disappointment, and half-belief. Thankfully, Jesus walks beside us the whole way.
