Sanctus Church Audio Sermons

How are you building your life today in a way that it makes a better life tomorrow? Pastor Sam examines Jesus's parable of the two builders and how it encourages us to continue to build our lives on the firm foundation of Christ, rather than the shifting stands and storms of the world.  Speaker: Sam Mills Publication: July 14, 2024 Matthew 7

How would you feel if your credit card statement was made public? How about your online purchase history? Guest Pastor Dwayne Cline uses the parable of the shrewd servant to explore how our use of money is an expression of our relationship to God. Speaker: Dwayne Cline Publication: July 7, 2024 Luke 16

How we respond to others who ask for need over and over again says a lot about our love for others. Pastor Lucas looks at the parable of the persistent woman to explore Jesus's compassion for us when we express on our complete dependence upon Him through prayer.   Speaker: Lucas Prado Publication: July 30, 2024 Luke 18 Select music provided by https://www.soundstripe.com Building Legacies - Cody Martin: ZJ7BYITH9PVH2XCQ

Money can be a delicate subject in some circles, but for Christians it should be easy to talk about. Pastor Sam looks at the parable of the rich man and Lazarus and explores how we are simply steward's of God's generous gifts and need to use them to help others.  Speaker: Sam Mills Publication: June 23, 2024

It's easy to find ourselves in the heroes of a story. This week, Pastor Ange challenges us to find ourselves in all the characters in the story of the good Samaritan -- even the victim -- and to examine what we can learn afresh about Jesus and His love for us through the compassion of the Samaritan. Speaker: Ange Mason Publication: June 16, 2024 Luke 10:25-37

The Parables of Jesus - Week 1 - The Prodigal Son The parable of the prodigal son is well known, but Pastor Jon shows how it can refresh our  understanding of God's love as one of culture-shattering strength. It supersedes human expectations and limitations, and will not be withheld when we repent and and return to our Father's kingdom.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: June 9, 2024 Luke 15 Select music provided by https://www.soundstripe.com Building Legacies - Cody Martin: ZJ7BYITH9PVH2XCQ

We all like to be comfortable. We limit our expectations to what we assume we can handle on our own. But Pastor Jon uses the end of Paul's journey in Acts to show how God's power cannot be limited and very often wants to challenge those assumptions that we use to pad our too comfortable lives.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: May 26, 2024 Select music provided by https://www.soundstripe.com Building Legacies - Cody Martin: ZJ7BYITH9PVH2XCQ The Book of Acts - Week 20 - Table Talk https://youtu.be/hrJarPRoKPQ

It is very uncommon for anyone to joyfully submit to any one or any thing. These days, fierce independence and self-dependence are touted as virtues. Pastor Jon looks at Paul's obedience and submission to the direction of the Holy Spirit even when it meant his persecution and even death, all for the glory of God.

One of the hardest things we may ever need to do is forgive someone else after they have hurt us. Pastor Ange uses Joseph's life to examine the difference between forgiveness as releasing the offence back to God, and reconciliation as restoration of relationship, the way God pulls us back into reconciliation through Christ.  Speaker: Angela Mason Publication: May 12, 2024 In The Waiting: Formed Over Time - Week 6 - Table Talk https://youtu.be/7g1M2ShEfRE
