Aletheia Church Audio Podcast

Psalm 1 opens the entire Book of Psalms with a stark picture: two paths, two people, two very different outcomes — and the only thing separating them is who they listen to. In this sermon, we dig into the ancient songs of Scripture and find that they are not just expressions of devotion, but expressions of reality. One life is rooted like a tree by living water — fruitful, steady, unshaken. The other is like chaff — weightless, directionless, carried wherever the wind blows. The question isn’t which life looks better. The question is: where are your roots?

In Mark 12:41–44, Jesus observes people placing their offerings in the temple treasury. Many rich people give large amounts, but Jesus highlights a poor widow who gives two small coins—everything she had. In this sermon, Pastor Don Weiss shows that this moment reveals something deeper than generosity. It reveals where our dependence truly lies.

In 1 Chronicles 29, David gives a staggering personal offering toward the building of the temple. The leaders follow. The people rejoice. But the real story isn’t about wealth—it’s about worship. This sermon invites us to consider what our generosity reveals about our worship—and ultimately points us to Christ. Because of Him, we are free to give, free to worship, and free to build for eternity.

What does the future hold for Aletheia Church? In this 15th anniversary message, Pastor Jim Laffoon calls us to look ahead with faith—reminding us that the mission ahead won’t be accomplished by intellect or strategy, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. As God moves again, the question isn’t whether He’s working—but how we will respond.

As we kick off the celebration of 15 years of God’s faithfulness at Aletheia, Dr. Stephen Mansfield calls us to recover the biblical meaning of remembrance. Preaching from Luke 22:19, he shows that remembering is not simply recalling the past, but receiving a present impartation of God’s power for what He is calling us to do now. This message invites us to remember who we are—and to move forward in faith.

What does it mean to be sent by Jesus with the gospel and the Holy Spirit? In John 20, Pastor Adam Mabry shows that mission doesn’t begin with pressure or performance, but with peace, purpose, people, and the power of the Spirit. As Jesus sends his disciples just as the Father sent him, we too are sent with God’s pleasure, shaped by God’s purpose, surrounded by God’s people, and empowered by God’s Spirit.

Where does God’s mission begin? In this opening message of The Mission, we learn that the mission of God flows from the extravagant, undeserved love of the Father. This sermon challenges both rebellious and religious hearts, calling the Church to be shaped by God’s love and sent into the world with compassion, urgency, and grace.
