All Souls Church Sermon Podcast

This week, as we move through the first chapter of Ephesians, we see the role of the Holy Spirit in our own faith journeys and the unified mission of the church.

In this sermon, we see the riches of Christ's love for us. We see his love not just given, but lavished on us!

The first sermon in our new series in Ephesians: Grace and Peace!

The All Souls Easter celebration, a service of gratitude and joy!

This year's Palm Sunday sermon focuses on the healing that a relationship with Christ can bring.

In Psalm 34, we see that the Lord is present with us in our struggles and, in His way, delivers us from evil!

In Psalm 33, we are called to worship through music, and recognize the love and omnipotence of God!

In Psalm 32, we learn how to pray prayers of confession, running to God even when acting in discordance with Him.

This is what we pray in times of stress!

Pastor Harvey preaches through Psalm 28, highlighting a prayer of lament, and the different phases of coping with pain while looking to God for strength.

In this passage, the Lord is described as a place of safety for the worn and tired souls of those who look to Him.

In light of recent events, Pastor Harvey addresses the Christian stance on violence and caring for the vulnerable, then preaches on the Lord being our help.

Pastor Harvey Turner guides us through practicing our trust in God through prayer.

In Psalm 24, God's ownership and rule over the world and its people is emphasized.

In this first sermon of our new series, "The Art of Talking to God", pastor Harvey explains what it means when the Psalmist says "The Lord is my shepherd".

In this stand-alone sermon, Pastor Harvey preaches on the topic of true, meaningful trust as we look forward to the new year!

In our last Advent sermon, Pastor Harvey teaches on the holiness of God, and what that means for us.

As we continue through the Advent season, Pastor Harvey Turner preaches on the reality of light and darkness, and the promise that the Light of Christ not only defeats the darkness, but that we carry His light in us, and are charged to use it to be servants of Him while on earth.

Jesus describes Himself as the "Bread of Life" and "Living Water". As we reflect on a silent incarnation this year, we go to other passages in scripture to be reminded of what needs to fill our lives!

In an ever increasingly chaotic world, the Bible teaches us to quiet our hearts and minds in order to hear more clearly from God, and to spare us the pain of distraction.

Jesus' resurrection is a proclamation of new life to all who believe in Him!

Jesus is crucified after he is mocked and beaten. He does this willingly, with immeasurable love in his heart.

As Jesus is handed over to the Romans, Peter refuses to admit that he knows Him. While being questioned by Pontius Pilot, Jesus hardly utters a word, but merely confirms the fact that He is the Messiah.

Jesus faces an unfair trial, full of men who have already determined his sentence.

Jesus prays in the garden, and asks his disciples to keep watch. Instead, they fall asleep, and He is left to face His final moments alone.

Jesus eats his last meal with his disciples, a passover meal, and announces that one of them will betray him.

A woman pours extremely expensive perfume on Jesus as an act of worship, but the disciples believe it was a waste.

Jesus describes His penultimate return, where He will establish His rule over the earth.

Jesus prophecies details of what the end of times will entail, and what we should do while we await His return.

Jesus teaches on the importance of giving our resources to the church.

When asked what the greatest commandment is, Jesus tells a scribe that loving God with our entire being and loving our neighbor as ourselves are the two most important things a person can do.

Pastor Harvey Turner lays out his biblical vision for All Souls Church.

Here we see Jesus's enemies conspiring to kill him. However, Jesus in his wisdom decides to instead teach the gathering crowds, using a Roman coin as an example of what should be expected from a believer.

In this sermon, Jesus tells a parable about selfish tenants of a vineyard. The Pharisees want to kill him, but are afraid of eliciting a riotous reaction from the listening crowd.

Here we see Jesus acting in righteous anger, bursting into the temple and flipping over the tables of those who turned the house of prayer into a marketplace.

In this passage, we see two disciples asking Jesus to appoint them as powerful rulers after they assume he is entering Jerusalem to take political power. He then sets the example of why he really came by healing a blind man who has faith in him.

Jesus says "let the little children come to me", and then tells a very rich young man what he needed to do in order to be saved.

Jesus teaches on the reality of hell, and uses hyperbole to show us how we should deal with our sin.

Jesus defines what true greatness is by flipping the script on what the rest of humanity teaches. His disciples, though, have yet to catch on, and still think Jesus is there to give them power, and to help Israel regain its former glory.

Jesus is approached by a man whose son is possessed by a demon that not even the disciples were able to cast out. We see Jesus' emphasis on having faith in His power, and the importance of prayer.

God the Father reveals the identity of Christ as a few of the disciples behold the glory of God in the form of a cloud. Among them appear Moses and Elijah. Their surreal experience brings a heavy message for modern-day believers.

When Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do you say I am?", Peter immediately replies "you are the Christ!". However, a few moments later, we see that Peter's idea of what Jesus had come to accomplish was much different than Christ's true mission. We are challenged in this sermon to align our expectations of Jesus with the mission he set himself!

All Souls member and retired minister Tom Kendall preaches from the Psalms, showing how David called out to God amidst his struggles. Tom also provides examples from his own life, giving witness to the incredible hand of God in the lives of those who seek Him!

In this sermon, we see Jesus as the ultimate provider. The disciples, despite seeing some amazing miracles, still don't seem to understand the fact that Christ will provide for all of their (and our) needs.

Throughout the Bible, God's people are referred to as "sheep". Here, we see Jesus feeding the five-thousand who followed him one day to hear his preaching. He considers himself as their "shepherd" and has a huge amount of compassion on them!

John the Baptist, Christ's appointed prophet, is killed for calling out the sin in the political leader Herod.

In this second sermon in our new series, "Who Is Jesus?", we see that the God-man is the ultimate and true prophet!

As we begin our new series continuing in the book of Mark, we see Jesus as a healer, even raising a young girl from the dead! But was his message of power meant for physical healing only?

Our Easter service, filled with joy and hope! He is risen!

We celebrate and commemorate Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem. Many of the people believe he will be their new military leader, but he makes it clear he has something much more important to offer.
