Arundel Christian Church's Podcast

Why is there so much suffering in the world—and where is God in the middle of it?In this message, we begin our “7 Myths of Christianity” series by tackling tough questions about pain, doubt, and God’s role in it all. Many people believe myths like “Christians are anti-science” or “God can’t be real if suffering exists.” But Scripture tells a different story.We’ll explore 7 reasons why suffering exists—and how God is not distant from our pain, but deeply involved. From creation to the cross, we see that suffering wasn’t God’s original plan, and it’s not the end of the story.God hears the silent screams—and He responds with truth, compassion, and hope.

Today Pastor Mike will examine morality from a biblical perspective and show how the existence of morality confirms the existence of God. 

Last week we heard from some unbelievers in the community about why they do not believe in God or, in some cases, why they were not sure.  Today, Pastor Matt continues our Beyond Belief series with the message Uncomfortable Truth, showing how we can apply logic and science to show the truth about the existence of the one true God.  We will also explore the role of faith vs. proof when it comes to accepting the truth. 

Today we will start our new sermon series, Beyond Belief, with an event rather than a sermon.  Today's message, called Understanding Unbelief, will feature a group of atheists (people who do not believe in God) in a discussion with our clergy and leadership to explain the foundations of their lack of belief in a religious system.  

Today's final sermon of the Trends series, Pastor Matt shows how clothing choices reflect faith and our culture all the way back from the Garden of Eden to modern times.  

Our "Trending" series continues with Pastor Mike's sermon Social Media & Cellphones.  You see them everywhere, all day -- people who can't put down their phones or stop doom-scrolling on their social media accounts.  How much is too much?  Pastor Mike reminds us that these technologies aren't evil, but must be used with wisdom and judgement.  During this sermon, we will learn some of the pitfalls of this technology and how to be better and wiser consumers.  

Today's sermon, part of the Trending series, is about Entertainment. Do you know how the entertainment you choose to watch affects your daily life and your relationship with God?  Join us at 10 a.m. to see how powerful media entertainment is.  

The beginning of a new sermon series!  Our new series is Trending, and we will be learning how to view the different trends of modern society through the lens of God's word.  Today's trend is technology, and we will learn how to filter the different technologies under our control (even AI!) through a biblical lens.  

Pastor Matt concludes our series "Majoring in the Minors" with the lesson Return to Me, studying the book of Malachi.  We will learn how we, just like the people of Israel, have turned away from God, and how we can return to Him. 

Pastor John continues our series "Major in the Minors" with the message "Rebuilding Hope" about the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. 

The Majoring in the Minors series will focus on the minor prophets Zephaniah and Obadiah, to show us God stays the same and stories of the past can be examined to get clues to how God is today and how he will continue to be in the future.  

Pastor Matt returns to the stage with the third in our "Majoring in the Minors" series -- God's Mercy vs. Human Resistance.  In this lesson, we study the next three minor prophets (Jonah, Nahum, and Habakkuk) and the common theme their stories present of how humans resist the concept of God's mercy being available to ALL -- even to those we don't believe are worthy to receive it, and even to US ourselves.  

Pastor John continues our "Majoring in the Minors" series.  Today we will study the minor prophets Joel and Micah to learn how God is always in control.  

Pastor Mike takes the stage today as we begin a new series title Major in the Minors with a message titled “Faithless People, Faithful God.” This week, we explore the powerful and challenging voices of Amos and Hosea- prophets called to speak the truth to a nation lost in idolatry, injustice, and spiritual apathy. Even in Israel’s unfaithfulness, God reveals His heart: justice, mercy, and a relentless love that calls His people back. Today we will dive into a story of warning and hope, of broken promises and divine restoration.

Two weeks ago, this series started by showing how our lives are stressed from always hurrying, always being busy. Last week we learned the first part of the solution - taking time for solitude with God, and taking the Sabbath for rest.  Today, Pastor Matt will show us the second part of the solution for over-hurriedness.  Come join to complete the discovery on how to un-hurry your life and join the 28-day challenge. 

Pastor Matt takes the stage today to deliver the second sermon in our new series "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry."  In today's world, we are always hurrying, and it doesn't give us time to truly savor our relationship with God through Christ.  Let's examine the solution to hurry!

Pastor John takes the stage today to deliver the first sermon in our new series "The Elimination of Hurry."  In today's world, we are always hurrying, and it doesn't give us time to truly savor our relationship with God through Christ.  Let's examine the problem of hurry! 

HE IS RISEN!!  Do you have faith that is true?  Many church-goers don't yet have faith that someone could experience the pain and death of crucifixion and then rise again, and today's sermon specifically addresses that kind of faith.  Pastor Matt will show us how to develop that kind of faith and deal with our uncertainty in areas where our faith is weak.  

We continue our study of the book of Mark with a sermon that explains who Jesus is -- the Humble Servant. Pastor Mike Montgomery shares how Jesus demonstrates serving sacrificially through trials and placing others above himself.   

We continue our study of the book of Mark with a sermon that explains who Jesus is -- the Christ, the Son of God.  We will see how Jesus often wanted people to remain silent after his miracles, and we will get the answer to "WHY THE SECRET?"
