Sanctus Church Audio Sermons

Reflection Questions: - Has God asked you to do something? - Is there a sin that you are hiding? - Has God asked you to close a back door?

Atonement: It means to cover over, it means reparation, amends, compensation, it’s a penalty or payment for a wrong or injury; for a loss or damage. - Jesus is our High Priest who stands in for us! - Jesus is our Sacrifice. - Jesus is our Scapegoat. - Jesus is our Permanent Incense Barrier.

Psalms can help us deal with our emotions of doubt, sadness and fear but what about anger? When is anger worth it? We need to evaluate ourselves based on how our Loving, Holy God gets angry. It’s in His presence where He transforms our anger to zeal, our hate to love and brings us closer to saying back to Him, zeal for your house consumes me.

Have you found yourself both confident and anxious, trusting and fearful? Welcome to the paradox of human life. Psalm 27 clearly talks about this paradox and it gives us lots of clarity on how to navigate the battles of life. At the end of the journey, it's all about one thing. What's the one thing in your life?

We can come into the presence of God and pour out our honest prayers before him. As we do, His presence shifts and changes our perspective, giving us both an eternal view for this life, and an understanding of what the good life really is.  In this message, we'll be digging in Psalm 73.

If Jesus is our model, how do we become more like Him in everyday life and ministry? We finish our conversation on convergence by looking at how spiritual gifts and disciplines provide the means and methods for becoming more like Jesus in our own lives.

The Bible describes many dramatic encounters with God. Do these intense moves of God still happen today? We continue our series on convergence by distinguishing between renewal, revival, and awakening. By establishing healthy expectations for spiritual encounters, we are able to find contentment in the practice of common faithfulness without diminishing our hope and prayers for divine revival in o...

We live in a post-Christian world that’s struggling to accommodate two opposing value systems: militant secularism and violent religious fundamentalism. How should the Church respond? At Sanctus Church, we believe the answer lies in what we call “convergence”. Using Jesus as our model, let’s explore how it’s possible to thrive in our uncertain and dynamic times.

Transitions are when we're most vulnerable. If opposition is inevitable, how do we prepare ourselves for seasons of change? As believers, we begin by remembering that the God who saves is also the God who sustains. Through His presence and provision, God will lead us into victory.

Transitions are difficult. In our pursuit of the new, we sometimes find ourselves missing the old. How do we remain focused and unified in our pursuit of God's vision for our church? The answer lies in remembering the nature of the One who called us in the first place.

God designed us for relationships. It’s why Paul uses his final words to recognize and bless those who walked alongside him throughout his ministry. What is God trying to teach us through these deeply personal and too often skimmed verses? Perhaps even in the face of death, God’s love, experienced through community and the Holy Spirit, is all we need.

Imprisoned, deserted, opposed — Paul details the extent of his hardship to Timothy. Yet through his personal remarks, Paul reveals that he's made peace with the past and found joyful anticipation about the future. By following the way of Christ, Paul models how to cultivate an unshakeable sense of peace and joy through the trials we face.

In his final charge to Timothy, Paul reminds us that Jesus' resurrection gave the world hope, unlike anything it had ever seen. When we build our life on this hope, we find peace and power that overrides our present circumstances — even in the face of death.

Following Jesus involves risk and sacrifice. If some form of persecution is inevitable, how do we prepare for that future? Paul points us to the Bible. The scriptures are designed to be read for formation. They have the power to shape us into the image of Jesus. When we actively love the scriptures, we allow the Author to transform us into people who can withstand anything that comes our way.
