Aletheia Church, Cambridge

Jesus opens the sermon on the mount by flipping our expectation of "the good life" upside down. In his kingdom, the poor in spirit inherit the kingdom, the mourners are comforted, and the persecuted are blessed. In this sermon, Pastor Adam walks through Matthew 5, showing how the promise of Christ's kingdom subverts our expectations of what blessing is, and transforms our motivation from one of anxiety and fear to one of love and faith.

In Matthew 3–4, we see Jesus baptized in the Jordan, affirmed by the Father, tested in the wilderness, and calling disciples into mission. Where Adam failed, where Israel failed, where we fail—Jesus succeeded. In this sermon, Pastor Adam shows us how our perfect Christ pioneers the way for imperfect people like us to know God’s acceptance, fight temptation, and follow him in his mission.

The Gospel of Matthew opens not with a miracle or a parable, but with a genealogy. Why? Because Matthew wants us to see who Jesus truly is. In a world full of opinions about Jesus, the most important decision you’ll ever make is not your career, your relationships, or your future plans—it’s who you say Jesus is.

When the world feels fractured by violence, division, and fear, where can we place our hope? In Revelation 7:9–17, we’re given a heavenly vision: a countless, multi-ethnic multitude gathered before the throne of Jesus, unified in worship. This is not just a future reality—it shapes our calling now: to resist fear, love our neighbor, and live as a diverse, unified family of faith.

What shapes the values of the church? Not preference, not culture, but the gospel story. In this sermon from Ephesians 2:1–10, we continue our House Rules series and explore our church values: Truth, Grace, and Change. Discover how the gospel rewrites our story and calls us into a life marked by humility, freedom, and transformation.

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this sermon on Matthew 28:18–20, Pastor Adam reminds us that in this house, we are disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. Every believer has a next step—whether it’s exploring faith, deepening foundations, leading others, or even stepping into ministry. Discover what it means to obey Jesus’ final command and how God’s promise of his presence empowers us to go.

What does it mean to live ready? And why is it worth it? In Luke 12:35–40, Jesus calls his disciples to be dressed for action, keep their lamps burning, and their hearts awake. In this sermon, we learn to identify and fight the enemies of readiness, and to lean into the Spirit’s power as we prepare for Christ’s return and for the revivals he brings along the way.

In Isaiah 6, we see the prophet undone by God’s holiness, cleansed by God’s grace, and compelled to respond to God’s mission. Christians are not just saved—we are sent. In this sermon, discover how encountering God’s presence moves us from hesitation and fear to boldness and obedience.

Saul's dramatic transformation from persecutor to preacher illustrates the power of encountering Jesus. The discussion dives deep into modern struggles with self-identity and the societal pressures that shape it, especially among the youth. By redefining identity through Christ, individuals can break free from flawed self-perceptions and embrace grace. Personal stories highlight how prayer catalyzes this transformation, leading to a deeper understanding of true worth and purpose. Ultimately, embracing a new identity in Jesus opens the door to healing and fulfillment.

In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done. In this sermon, we explore the dangerous but transformative prayer: Lead me. We unpack what it means to truly let go of control and allow God to shape our lives around his holiness, his kingdom, and his will.
