  Get the Heart Right | Rev. Nick Audas 15.09.2026 33min

  What does it look like for the church to have real love when we don’t agree on everything? In Romans 14, Paul speaks to a church divided over customs and convictions, calling them to something deeper than uniformity: unity. And in Matthew 18, Jesus reminds us that this unity is built on the shocking grace we have first received from God. We have been forgiven a debt we could never repay—so how can we withhold mercy from one another? In a community where we don’t all think, worship, or practice the same way, how do we build a love that is real?

  Let the Love Be Real | Matt Makar 08.09.2026 32min

  When Paul addresses the spiritual gifts, he gives both encouragement and caution. Most churches only encourage the gifts or caution against them. Romans 12:9–21 shows how genuine love governs the use of our spiritual gifts. Building on the encouragement from Romans 12:3–8, this message calls the church to be both encouraging and wisely cautious, so that our many members serve as one body in Christ. Love leads the way—sincere, humble, and active.

  What is the Church? | Fall Ministries Kickoff | Rev. Nick Audas 31.08.2026 41min

  What is the church? What’s actually happening when we gather together? Is the church a building, a place, or something else entirely?As we hear from the Apostle Paul, we’re invited to set aside our own expectations and experiences and consider how God thinks about the church—and what happens when people from completely different backgrounds find themselves brought together by Jesus.This sermon was shared on our Fall Ministries Kickoff Sunday and also includes a refresher on the ministries and communities of Adoration Church, where we’re headed this fall, and how you can get connected. If you missed Sunday—or simply want to hear the vision again—tune in!

  The Authority of Reconciliation | Matt Makar 24.08.2026 34min

  In Matthew 18:15–20, Jesus gives his people a path for confronting sin that is aimed not at punishment, but restoration. As the process moves from private conversation to witnesses to the gathered church, Jesus reveals that reconciliation is not merely a personal matter but a responsibility entrusted to his people. The church carries out this work with real authority because Christ himself is present in its midst. In this sermon, we consider how the presence of Christ the heavenly Reconciler authorizes his Church to pursue reconciliation on earth.

  The Lord Is Near | Rev. Nick Audas 17.08.2026 39min

  What if anxiety isn't something we simply need to get rid of, but an invitation to notice where we've allowed our problems to become bigger than our God? Anxiety has a way of pulling us into the future, expanding our concern beyond our control and convincing us that security is always just a little further away. But Jesus invites us into a different way of living: to consider what is right in front of us, to trust the Father who knows what we need, and to seek first His kingdom. The Lord is near—and His peace meets us here, today.

  Sermon on the Mount | Lust (Matthew 5:27–30) | Rev. Nick Audas 08.07.2026 35min

  Jesus takes lust to the root: covetousness—the desire to consume another’s beauty for our own gain, driven by a quiet lie that we lack enough. But there’s a better way. Pastor Nick points us to the Cross, confession in community, and communion with Christ—an honest, hopeful call to bring what’s hidden into the light.

  Every person is searching for the good life. Continuing our Sermon Series in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus answers that question in a way that challenges every worldly definition of success.

  Come Holy Spirit | Rev. Nick Audas 25.05.2026 37min

  What if the fullness of the Spirit isn’t reserved for spiritual experts, but is God’s invitation for every believer? On Pentecost, we wrestle with the tension many believers feel: longing for the fullness of the Holy Spirit while often feeling uncertain how to walk in His power. Looking at Acts 1–2 and John 14, this sermon explores four postures for receiving all Jesus has for us—preparation, people, posture, and power—and reminds us that understanding the Spirit perfectly is not a prerequisite for experiencing His transforming presence.

  The Secret Heart of God | Rev. Nick Audas 18.05.2026 20min

As we listen in on Jesus’ prayer to the Father, we discover the heart of God toward us: glory, life, grace, protection, and intercession. This message is an invitation to move beyond merely knowing about Jesus into deep communion with Him.
