All Saints Church Podcast

All Saints Church turns two! Join us as we celebrate where we've been, cast vision for where we are going, and hear an invitation from the early church for how we get there.

Jesus has an authority no one else has, to do for us what no one else can. He demonstrates this by forgiving a paralyzed man's sins in Matthew 9 – an authority reserved for God alone – before healing his body, too. As his miracles reveal his uniquely divine nature as God made flesh, we discover that Jesus sees our faith, forgives our sins, and offers eternal hope when all hope seems lost. Listen now for more. 

In Matthew 8:28–34, Jesus confronts the forces evil and sets two demon-possessed men free. Frightened by his power, the people of the surrounding towns ask him to leave. Today, Jesus still has authority over demons, and a deep desire to set us free from everything that keeps us from him. Will we welcome him or reject him? And when we do welcome him to transform our lives, do we continue to keep the door open to other spiritual options? Listen now for more!

In Matthew 8:23-27, the disciples follow Jesus into a boat across the Sea of Galilee when an unexpected storm hits. This perilous moment tests their faith, while also revealing three important truths about Jesus that all disciples must remember: Jesus is close, Jesus corrects the ones he loves, and Jesus is in control. May we move from fear to faith as we recognize his authority over the storms that rage in our own lives today.

In Matthew 8:18-22, we meet two (potential) disciples–one with career aspirations and another with cultural commitments–whom Jesus confronts with the cost of true discipleship. Their encounters with Christ reveal two questions we can ask ourselves today: Are we willing to choose his vision for our futures over our own? Is our relationship with him our most important relationship?
Don't get the wrong idea: Jesus wants it all. Listen now for more!

Dr. Eric Redmond explores Matthew 8:14–17, showing Jesus as a compassionate authority who touches and heals Peter’s mother-in-law, casts out demons with a word, and heals all who are sick—fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy that he would bear our infirmities. He invites believers to pray boldly, bring every need to Christ, and recognize the cross as the basis for healing and deliverance.

The healing of a centurion's servant in Matthew 8:5–13 highlights one soldier's humility and extraordinary faith in Jesus' authority. It also demonstrates Jesus' compassion toward this ethnic and political enemy, which he expects his Church to mirror. Finally, we discover that faith, not perfection or pedigree, grants access to God's kingdom.

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. 

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.

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?
