Sanctus Church Audio Sermons

He is risen! We joyfully celebrate the risen King Jesus on this Easter Sunday with a message from Pastor Jon.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: April 9, 2023

We're all familiar with the phrase 'actions speak louder than words.' Imagine how eternally loud are the actions of God through His son Jesus Christ. As we continue our journey to Easter, Pastor Jon dives into the power released into the world - and the destruction of death itself - through Jesus's death and resurrection.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: March 26, 2023

What exactly did Easter do? In this first sermon focussing on the Easter season, Pastor Jon reminds us of the perfect atonement made for our sins by Jesus's death and resurrection. Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: March 19, 2023

When we feel overlooked, underappreciated, and even unseen by others, we need to remember that we are always seen by the One that matters, Jesus. Pastor Jon finishes up our time in Romans with assurances that God will carry us to the finish as we remain faithful in our service to Him.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: March 12, 2023

Join Joel Penney, the lead preacher with a passion for practical gospel application, as he explores the importance of unity within the church. He discusses how experiencing generosity can foster unity, even amid diverse beliefs. Joel highlights the distinction between strong and weak believers, urging acceptance across varying convictions. He emphasizes Jesus as the ultimate model of humility and service, encouraging a communal spirit that attracts nonbelievers to the gospel. Ultimately, he calls for self-reflection on strengths and weaknesses while maintaining hope and fostering connection.

Recent years have seen Christians engaging with the political in ways that do not represent their responsibilities well. Pastor Jon tackles the difficult subject of how Christians are to be loyal and enthusiastic citizens of our temporal government and how we are to love our neighbours -- regardless of their political or social opinions -- with acts of horizontal grace. Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: February 26, 2023

Do you sometimes wonder if people see you the same way you see yourself? Many times we judge others to be less than ourselves while making excuses for all our faults. Pastor Jon steps through the incredible Chapter 12 of the book of Romans and reflects back to us how God sees us, and how we are to humble ourselves in full sacrifice to the only eternal judge, Jesus.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: February 19, 2023

What are your goals today? What are you walking towards? Is it the right target or are you being misled? Pastor Jon heads into Romans 10 and what it says about the Kingship of Jesus, and Him alone as the only guide and saviour -- not ourselves or our human leaders, but Jesus alone.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: February 12, 2023

Daily we hear the wrong messages: you have to do more, you have to do better, you have to find the strength within yourself, by yourself, to do better for yourself. When the truth is, we can't -- not by ourselves. Pastor Jon gets into the details of Romans 9 and points us to the words of God that show us how surrendering our efforts and instead relying on the power of the Holy Spirit can bring the rest and freedom we need.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: February 5, 2023
