Sanctus Church Audio Sermons

Powerlessness is an uncomfortable feeling; we will mistreat others, mistreat ourselves, and create all sorts of messes to avoid it. In this second sermon in The Names of God summer series, Pastor Jon talks about a slave woman, fleeing for her life, who was found by God, the One who saw her.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: June 18, 2023

The church is made up not only of leaders and the full congregation but of each individual member living in their own walk with Christ. Pastor Joel reminds us that it is our personal humbling through confession and repentance that allows us to realign ourselves with Christ's vision for us both personally and corporately as His church.  Speaker: Joel Penney Publication date: May 21, 2023

Our weeks are full of voices pulling us in all sorts of directions and forming us as they do. Today, Pastor Jon reminds us that the most important voice of our lives - the one we need to know most well - is God's. We need to value and listen to His words and guidance as given to us through the Bible. Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication date: May 14, 2023

Opposition and barriers to doing the right thing come at unexpected times, but often we meet them just when we feel we can't overcome them. But as Pastor Ange reminds us, not only are these challenges to be expected but we have the everlasting hope of a mighty God who is powerful over all our barriers and can defeat all our oppositions.

It's exciting to start a new project with focus and enthusiasm, but after a while, it gets harder to keep the dedication up.

Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: April 30, 2023

We never have everything under control. And just when we think we do, we hit that moment when we realize how wrong we are.
