Aletheia Church, Stoneham

How can we honor Jesus publicly? How does the image of the cross give us the courage to take bold risks for the Kingdom, even in the face of fear or opposition? We explore the powerful transformation from passive, private faith to a bold, public mission, inspired by the courage displayed by Joseph of Arimathea in the wake of Jesus' death.

Whether it’s personal doubts, allegiances to something else, or our own religious filters, we often stand in the way of genuine belief. But the cross confronts and overcomes these barriers by revealing God's character, power, and faithfulness through Christ at the cross.

We look into Nicodemus’ conversation with Jesus, where his curiosity was met with the ultimate revelation of God’s love on the cross. This is the same invitation extended to us to shift our focus from the wrong things and onto the right things to truly find life.

In this sermon, we explore James 1:16-18 and how thankfulness serves as the starting point on the journey of faithfulness. We look at how thankfulness isn’t just about receiving—it’s about reflecting God’s goodness in the world.

We dive into the powerful truth that the arrival of God’s love in Christ transforms us in every way. When God became human, he demonstrated the ultimate act of love—a love that is worth remembering, celebrating, and sharing.

As we dive into Zephaniah 3:14-20, we see the incredible transformation of fear into joy through the arrival of Christ. God doesn’t leave us in fear—he changes our outcomes and offers his powerful presence, turning our anxiety into unshakable joy.

As we reflect on the darkness that still exists in the world, we see how Jesus’ arrival brings wisdom, justice, compassion, and blessing—offering true peace to those in need of it. And as recipients of this peace, we are to step into the darkness and offer it too.

In a world marked by longing, pain, and the ongoing battle between good and evil, the Bible tells us that the arrival of King Jesus is the foundation for our hope. Jesus’ victory over the serpent is not just a past event—it is a present reality that allows us to persevere amid life’s struggles.

In this day and age of information, we can easily be swayed and overwhelmed by all the news, whether good or bad, that is readily available at our fingertips. But Paul, in Romans 15:8-13, shows us we can still have joy and peace by believing in the hope that God confirmed in Jesus Christ.

Big faith positions us to walk in the purposes, power, and presence of God, even in the most challenging circumstances. As Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego boldly refuse to compromise in the face of persecution, we learn that big faith acknowledges the reality of the fire but chooses to trust the greater reality of God’s power to deliver.

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus in a culture that idolizes materialism? In this sermon, we'll reflect on the dangers of covetousness and we'll learn to combat anxiety as we seek God’s kingdom through acts of generosity, serving those in need, and cultivating a heart that treasures what truly matters.

Despite the brokenness introduced by sin—affecting marriage, singleness, and the value of children—there is hope that can be found in Christ for redemption. In this sermon, we talk about the importance of pursuing Christ-likeness in our lives and advocating for policies that celebrate and protect the beauty of family.

All human beings bear the image of God. Drawing from Genesis 1:26-27, we are challenged to consider the inherent value of every individual and how this understanding should shape our actions, beliefs, and society as a whole.

What does freedom mean to you? In this sermon, Paul's words challenge us to understand the true nature of freedom in Christ and how it should shape our lives and relationships.

As believers, we are made citizens of the kingdom of God and are called to be witnesses of our invincible King. In this sermon, we tackle the topic of faith and politics to understand what it means to follow Jesus in our cultural moment and how we can live as kingdom citizens in a complex world.

Being set apart for God means we are viewed as strange and weird. We are called not to fit into the mold of this world but to be transformed by renewing our minds through God’s truth in the Scripture. In this sermon, Pastor Donny shows us how to live out our faith in ways that may seem counter-cultural, yet beautifully align with God’s purposes.

Jesus, who is crowned in glory and honor, is fully made man so that he might face death for everyone and by the grace of God benefits those who believe. In this sermon, we look at how Jesus, the God incarnate, fully sympathizes with the human experience and how that changes everything.

What we believe about the future will determine and shape how we live in the present. In the last segment of studying our mission statement, we look into how it is the glory of God that is the good of all people. We need God’s vision of his glory to sustain God’s way for our life as a church.

In this sermon, we will look at what we value as a church. Drawing from the imagery and theology of John’s prologue, Pastor Donny unpacks how Jesus, as the Word made flesh, reveals the truth, grace, and changing power of God.

In this new series, we revisit the reason why our church exists and what we value as God’s people. We will look at the story of Zacchaeus’ encounter with Jesus and how it challenges us to live out our mission of making disciples because making disciples is the mission of Jesus.

Pastor Donny Fisher unpacks the teachings of John on discovering the joy of true fellowship with Jesus Christ, and how learning to walk in the light transforms our lives and our interactions with fellow believers.

In this sermon, Pastor Donny expounds on the passage in Colossians that shows us proof of Christ’s preeminence over everything. We acknowledge how Christ is central to everything in our lives as our creator, sustainer, and reconciler.
