Sanctus Church Audio Sermons

There's nothing so radical, so counter-cultural, or so important as love. How do we shut down the worldly distractions that drag us away from focussing on Jesus's love for us? Joel Penney looks at the incredible upside-down lessons of Christ's visit with Mary and Martha. Jesus's wisdom in pointing to the eternal matters and away from the worldly ones challenges our daily assumptions about what our responsibilities are. How can we avoid the worried, upset, and distracted life for one of calm, content focus on Jesus? Speaker: Joel Penney Publication: July 31, 2022

An anonymous boy gave his lunch: 5 loaves, 2 fish, and Jesus multiplied it to feed 5000. Can Jesus do the same with whatever is in your basket? Pastor Sam Mills takes us through the multiplicative miracle of Jesus feeding 5000 men with the anonymous donation of two loaves and five fishes from a boy in the crowd. It's a reminder that God has a purpose to be accomplished and created each of us with specific talents/gifts/abilities so that when we invest our time and resources, God will increase the return on that investment in abundance. Speaker: Sam Mills Publication: July 24, 2022 Verses: Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:31-44; Luke 9:12-17; John 6:1-14
