Sermons By Antioch Community Church in Waltham, MA (Boston Area)

We are kicking off our third summer of Romans series. Sean's message gave us a recap of Romans 9 - 11 from the end of last summer and the historical context of Romans, and it also showed us God's heart to reconcile the disunity within church between Jews and Gentiles. How should we respond to the division and live out the Gospel today?

Listen to Mark's teaching that extensively lists spiritual gifts from three categories (Romans 12, Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12) with a main focus on Romans 12. Which gift(s) do you identify? What is it like for you to share that gift with others?

Jonah is the last book of our minor prophets series. Through this counter example of a prophet, God reveals His missional heart. Do you want to be like Jesus? He loves the people we hate and our enemies. Do you still want to be like Jesus?

No one is as compassionate as our God! Listen to Brian's message on the fourth book of our minor prophets series - Obadiah. How can we respond to the call to be compassionate people to reflect our Maker? (Message is incomplete due to tech issues)

We are back to our minor prophets series this week and continue the part 2 of the book of Joel. We are serving a God who promises to not only repay the years of loss but also give us power! As we stand on the other side of the coming of the Holy Spirit today, listen to Mark's message on the promise of the Holy Spirit.

It's our annual Antioch Discipleship School Sunday! What is it like to set aside a year to accelerate the growth of following Jesus? Listen to Mark's message on the purpose of ADS, the origin of the Antioch Movement.

We continue our minor prophets series with the book of Amos. God called His people to be a flood of justice and a river of righteousness. What does it mean? And how should we respond? 

This week, we continue our minor prophet series with the second book Joel. How should we respond to the heaviness of the message of God's divine judgement? How do we imitate Christ by carrying His heart?

God wants our hearts, not our habits. So why do we still need habits and spiritual disciplines? Listen to Brian's second message on Hosea as he leads us to see God's heart behind God's invitation of habits.

What is idolatry? How do we identify idolatries in our lives these days? And how does God respond to our unfaithfulness? Listen to Brian's message as he kicks off our minor prophets series this Spring!

Christianity is not about religion but about relationship. What does it mean to have a relationship with Jesus? How do you enter into this relationship? Listen to Mark's message on Easter. He is RISEN indeed!

Palm Sunday is not about celebrating a past event but rehearsing Jesus' second coming. Why should we continue to hope for Jesus' imminent return? Listen to Mark's message on Palm Sunday!

What is God's role in redemption? And what is it like for us to be faithful? Listen to Marla's message as she unpacks the parallel between Boaz and Jesus as well as Ruth/Naomi and us. This message concludes our Ruth series.

Our faith is contagious! Understanding the historical context helps us perceive the depth of Ruth's faith, which awoke Naomi's faith and attracted Boaz. What does a step of faith God is calling you to take look like?

Unaddressed pain will distort the way you see yourself and God! As we enter into a new sermon series on Ruth in the next three weeks, Marla led us to look through the lens of Naomi's life and exhorted us to attend the deep and neglected pains and restore our view of self and God.

Why do we fast, and what does fasting do to us? Listen to Mark's message on how to grow in this spiritual discipline which Jesus calls and expects His followers to incorporate into their lives!

Authority and submission are not independent from but deeply connected to each other. How do we grow in biblical authority? And how do we grow in healthy submission? 

What is the meaning and purpose of sex? To understand that, we have to do it in the context of marriage, a covenant of love. Brian's message powerfully explains that the root of sexual sin points towards the deep desire of our soul that can only be met by God.

God created both male and female in the perfect image of God in the beginning. But the image is broken since the Fall. Mark's message calls us as the church to be a part of God's plan to the restoration of the image.

How do we approach challenging, controversial topics? How can we pursue unity as the body of Christ in spite of disagreements? Mark started year 2024 with this message as we enter into a new sermon series on sexuality.

Listen to our last message of 2023 as Mark walked us through a consecration practice to rededicate ourselves to Jesus.

How can we possibly know God if He is invisible? Listen to John's message on our Christmas Eve service. Merry Christmas!

The True Light has come to this world. How do we respond to the True Light? And how do we perceive the True Light and his invitation to come out of the darkness? 

What is the significance of incarnation? Listen to Brian's message as he answers the question through three dimensions: purpose, cost, and intimacy.
