Battle Ready Pt.5 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh celebrates the expansion of All People church to a permanent location in Lowell while introducing a spiritual framework for mental resilience. The core of the discourse focuses on the Armor of God, specifically the shield of faith, which he describes as a defensive tool used to extinguish the fiery darts of intrusive, negative thoughts. He argues that most spiritual battles are internal rather than external, occurring within the mind and heart through a progression of fear, anxiety, and doubt. By advocating for a saturated life in Scripture, the text emphasizes that believers must fight thoughts with words and remain connected to community and small groups to stand firm against psychological and spiritual adversity.

Battle Ready Pt.4 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh serves a spiritual manual for maintaining inner stability amidst the pressures and transitions of life by exploring the shoes of peace within the armor of God. Using the metaphorical "cleats" of Roman soldiers, he explains that biblical peace is not a passive emotion but a ready stance and a state of wholeness and alignment that keeps a person upright during conflict. Through personal anecdotes of job loss, family divorce, and physical slips, the text emphasizes that peace must be put on before the battle starts to prevent subtle drifts into anxiety and fear. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to convert worry into specific prayer and to trust in the supernatural peace of Christ, which guards the heart and mind even when circumstances make no sense.

Battle Ready Pt.2 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh serves a call to spiritual vigilance, emphasizing that believers are currently engaged in a unseen battle that requires them to be battle ready by putting on the armor of God. Using the historical context of the apostle Paul’s imprisonment, he explains that the belt of truth is the essential first piece of armor because it provides the stability and foundation necessary to hold all other equipment in place. He warns that when God’s word is no longer the supreme authority in one's life, a person becomes spiritually unstable, prone to the distractions of culture and the deceptive influences of social media. Ultimately, he encourages the congregation to anchor themselves in scriptural truth to avoid moral slipping and to stand firm against the enemy's schemes in the modern world.

Battle Ready Pt.1 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People Lowell
This week at All People Lowell, Pastor Josh Roberts addresses the All People congregation to announce a new season of church planting while preparing them for the spiritual battle that accompanies growth. Using the historical context of Pearl Harbor, he illustrates the danger of being unaware of an existing conflict, urging believers to recognize that their struggles are often supernatural rather than physical. He interprets the armor of God from Ephesians 6 not as a metaphor for comfort, but as a mandatory tool for taking a stand against the enemy's schemes during times of transition. By sharing a personal story of overcoming sudden illness through prayer and biblical declaration, he encourages his audience to shift from a posture of defeat to one of divine authority. Ultimately, the message serves as a call to vigilance and faith, challenging the community to remain battle ready as they expand their mission into the city of Lowell.

Battle Ready Pt.1 | Pastor Stephanie Roberts | All People
This week at All People , Pastor Stephanie Roberts introduces a series entitled Battle Ready, which focuses on the spiritual protection offered by the armor of God found in Ephesians 6. She argues that believers must shift from an earthly perspective rooted in temporary emotions and human conflict to a heavenly perspective that recognizes life’s struggles as an unseen spiritual war. By emphasizing that the goal of the armor is to stand firm rather than to strive for a victory already won by Jesus, She encourages her audience to respond to opposition with biblical truth and kindness instead of fleshly reactions. Ultimately, the text serves as a call to renew the mind through Scripture, inviting the community to prepare for a new season of ministry and a physical move to a new church facility in Lowell.

Christmas Pt.1 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh celebrates the Christmas season by focusing on the core meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ. He begins by updating the congregation on their church's successful launch in Lowell, Massachusetts, highlighting the community's "radical generosity" and sharing testimonies of faith and miraculous provision. The central theme revolves around a reading from Luke 2:8-20, using the Williams translation, to emphasize three key points about the Christmas message: that God brings "good news for all people," that God makes "salvation personal," and that God sends "ordinary people to spread an extraordinary message." He urges the congregation to become personal "rescuers"—like the shepherds in the Biblical account—by moving beyond seeing Christmas as merely a season and instead embracing it as a "story" they are privileged to share with a world desperate for hope.

Radical Generosity Pt.4 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh embraces radical generosity as a form of stewarding the move of God, emphasizing that their giving is not merely for church programs but for the salvation and transformation of lost people. He details how this generosity is aimed at two main goals: investing in generations through a major renovation and expansion of the children's ministry space in North Reading, and expanding into new territories by officially launching a new permanent campus in Lowell, Massachusetts. This expansion, a year after a faith-stretching offering, is presented as an act of obedience to God’s call to "enlarge the place of your tent," illustrating that faith in action precedes the promised miracle of growth. Ultimately, the message is a call to a spiritual revolution sparked by communal, sacrificial giving.

Radical Generosity Pt.3 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, As the church prepares to launch a new location in Lowell, Massachusetts, Pastor Josh focuses on the theme of radical generosity. He argues that true generosity must follow the example of Christ's ultimate sacrifice, requiring believers to be radical in their beliefs, worship, and stewardship before they can participate in truly transformative giving. Emphasizing that radical giving is essential for spiritual expansion, the message illustrates that this generosity must always find a name, leading to the transformation of real lives, exemplified by the moving testimony of a newly converted member named Jordan. Ultimately, the audience is challenged to prepare a radical offering that must cost something to the giver, thereby creating space for more salvations and further church growth.

Radical Generosity Pt.2 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh opens with announcements, including the exciting news of the church's transition from preview nights to the formal planting of a new church in Lowell, Massachusetts, with regular Sunday services beginning December 7th. Pastor Josh then dives into the concept of "radical generosity," asserting that God established this principle through the creation of the world and the ultimate gift of Jesus Christ (John 3:16) to restore humanity from the consequences of sin. He challenges the congregation to embrace a "radical way to live" by ceasing to keep parts of their lives—like "junk drawers" or "off limits" rooms in a house—closed off from God. This fully surrendered life is broken down into three areas for radical commitment: radical beliefs, demanding adherence to scripture over cultural norms; radical worship, defined not by Sunday singing but by a daily surrendered life following Christ's plan; and radical stewardship of time, talent, and treasure, which includes honoring God through tithing as a "training ground" for generosity.

Radical Generosity | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh speaks on Radical Generosity, which serves as an enthusiastic and deeply personal sermon emphasizing that God is the author and originator of true unselfish giving. He introduces the topic by sharing a recent experience of being hospitalized, which he framed not as a setback, but as a setup for a comeback, reinforcing a theme of resilience through faith. He defines "radical" as "very different from the usual" and "generosity" as unselfishness and "liberality in our giving," contrasting the world's desire for improvement with the Kingdom of God's goal of a brand new life through the Gospel. Ultimately, the core message is that God always goes first—from the gift of the Garden of Eden to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ—and now, the faithful are called to steward the blessing by adopting radical generosity as their own strategic, continuous, and outward-focused move.

This week at All People , Pastor Stephanie begins emphasizing that nothing is a surprise to God, and sets a tone of surrender to the Holy Spirit. She addresses the chaotic and divided state of the modern world, which she asserts is foretold in scripture, characterized by self-worship and truth avoidance. She then pivots to the role of the church, defining believers as the unified body of Christ called to live differently, known for unity, love, truth, and peace. Ephesians 4 us used to illustrate the biblical blueprint for the church, emphasizing that spiritual leadership is meant to equip believers for ministry and build up the body in maturity and love. Ultimately, the sermon identifies offense as the enemy's primary weapon to cause division, explaining it as a trap that distorts vision; the antidote is viewing all situations through the lens of biblical love, which involves truth and compassion, and making an act of obedience to forgive and remain unified.

This week at All People, Bishop Brian Green centers on the scriptural command to "contend for the faith”. The Bishop encourages his listeners to "fight with everything you have" for their spiritual beliefs and divine promises, drawing heavily on the Epistle of Jude. He emphasizes that contending involves wrestling with challenges, arguing for blessings using God's word, and competing fiercely like an athlete who secures a crucial touchdown, exemplified by the famous football "catch." The core message is a call to tenacity and renewed passion in one's faith, urging the congregation not to grow weary or faint so they do not miss the promised blessings God is preparing, even during tough seasons of waiting and struggle.

This week at All People, Pastor Josh begins by emphasizing the importance of Christians actively engaging with the world, specifically challenging congregants to "be the light of the gospel" to their neighbors by participating in community outreach. The message is a sermon series titled "Ghost Stories," which refers to the Holy Spirit and its essential role in the believer's life, stressing that "Prayer always precedes power." The sermon repeatedly asserts that the Holy Spirit first empowers individuals privately so they can be used publicly, leading to boldness and power for the "mission" of demonstrating the gospel. This empowerment, which is continually renewed through prayer, is the driving force behind the church community.

This week All People, Pastor Josh is speaking about the role of the Holy Spirit, introduced within a sermon series titled "Ghost Stories" that redefines the term away from the spooky and toward the spiritual. The primary purpose of the message is to emphasize that the Holy Spirit is the greatest story for a believer, providing power and acting as an Advocate or Prayer Partner in their lives. He passionately encourages the congregation, including a group tuning in via watch parties, to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit—signified by a heavenly prayer language—as a means to overcome limitations, receive divine wisdom, and be continually "charged up" for their assignments on earth, viewing this supernatural connection as a necessary lifestyle rather than a one-time event.

Ultimately, he challenges believers to move beyond writing their own stories and instead allow the Holy Spirit to empower them to be a witness and tell Jesus's story with confidence.

This week at All People, Pastor Josh wraps up "Built Differently," emphasizing that believers must build their lives on the foundation of God's word, drawing heavily from the biblical analogy of the wise man building his house on the rock. The central theme urges listeners to live a life distinct from the world by being "word first people" who prioritize scripture as their blueprint for lasting, eternal value, rather than temporary, self-serving pursuits. He also outlines that true fulfillment comes from building together in community and building for eternity, underscoring that all actions and resources should be focused on God's kingdom, which will endure the tests of life, symbolized by fire and storms.

This week at All People, Pastor Josh continues a series called "Built Different," which focuses on the essential concept that believers must "build our life differently according to God's word," not on fleeting trends or popular culture, using the Bible as their blueprint, similar to the biblical metaphor of building a house on a rock rather than on sand. Pastor Josh then emphasizes the critical importance of actively "working the word"—translating biblical principles into daily action—to establish solid foundations for habits, relationships (stressing kindness, compassion, and forgiveness), finances, and future purpose, securing a life anchored in Christ against inevitable storms.

This week at All People, Pastor Josh emphasizes the crucial difference between merely hearing God's word and actively applying it as the foundation for one's life. He argues that while many claim to be "spiritual," true faith is demonstrated through obedience and intentional construction of a life anchored in biblical principles, rather than fleeting trends or external appearances. Drawing a parallel to building a house, the message stresses that God's word serves as the unwavering blueprint for an enduring life, especially in turbulent times, urging listeners to dismantle and rebuild areas of their lives that aren't founded on this divine wisdom. The ultimate purpose is to build a life that not only withstands challenges but also serves as a stable refuge for others when their own foundations crumble.

Built Different Pt. 1 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh speaks on being "Built Different”. He emphasizes the critical importance of building one's life on a strong, faith-based foundation rather than on temporary, worldly values. Using the analogy of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the parable of the wise and foolish builders, he illustrates that a weak foundation, even for an impressive structure, will ultimately lead to failure when storms (life's challenges) arise. The core message stresses that believers should build for God's eternal purposes, not for self-glory or the fleeting "American dream," recognizing that their actions contribute to a larger, divine construction project. This involves adhering to "the code" – God's Word – and understanding that their work will ultimately be tested by fire, revealing its true, eternal quality. Finally, Pastor Josh encourages listeners to collectively build a "house," not just individual lives, through community and a shared commitment to God's mission, thereby offering stability and hope to a world in need.

The core message is that many individuals suffer from "blurry spiritual vision," causing them to focus on superficial concerns rather than God's divine purpose. He argues that God's word provides the clarity and discernment needed to perceive spiritual opportunities, identify potential threats, and recognize God's promises even amidst difficult circumstances. Ultimately, the sermon calls for believers to actively seek and apply spiritual insight, aligning their lives with God's vision to avoid fear and actively participate in His supernatural plan.

She challenges the world's shifting definitions of identity, particularly those rooted in fleeting emotions or external labels like career or family roles, and introduces the "creator principle": only the creator has the right to define what they made. This principle firmly establishes that our true identity stems from being a child of God, a status achieved through faith in Jesus, which also grants believers divine authority and purpose as ambassadors and witnesses of His kingdom on Earth. She concludes with a powerful call to live out this God-given identity with confidence, emphasizing that our ultimate purpose is to serve God's will, not our own fleeting happiness, and offering a prayer of commitment for those seeking to embrace this truth.

This week at All People, Pastor Josh centers on the distinction between being a "believer" and a "disciple" in faith, concluding a series titled "Get Your Ships Together." Pastor Josh emphasizes three crucial "ships" or areas of life that need to be aligned: first, one's relationship with God, asserting that personal alignment only occurs when the heart is first aligned with God. Second, the importance of friendships is discussed, highlighting the need to discern whether they fuel faith or drain the soul, and encouraging healthy boundaries. Finally, he culminates in a call to discipleship, contrasting the passive nature of being a "believer"—who admires Jesus and is saved by grace—with the active commitment of a "disciple"—who follows Jesus, is shaped by grace, and recognizes Him as Lord, not just Savior. The core message urges listeners to move beyond comfortable belief into the transformative journey of actively following Christ, which involves denying oneself, taking up one's cross, and submitting to God's plan.

This week at All People, Pastor Josh emphasizes the crucial importance of aligning one's life with God's purpose. He asserts that a fulfilling life hinges on three "ships": relationship with God, relationships with others (especially friendships), and discipleship. The foundational principle, drawn from Matthew 22, is to love God first and then love your neighbor as yourself, as all other commandments flow from these two. He also highlights the impact of friendships, citing Proverbs 13 to illustrate how wise companions fuel faith, while foolish ones drain the soul. Ultimately, genuine discipleship, as described in John 13, is evidenced by love for one another, which serves as a powerful testament to the world. Pastor Josh aims to guide listeners in inspecting and steering these "ships" towards God's intended course, preventing life from aimlessly drifting.

He concludes by stressing the importance of consistent connection to God's word, honest prayer, consistent worship, and surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals for a truly thriving life, rather than merely "drifting" through it.

Furthermore, he stresses the profound influence of friendships, asserting that choosing wise companions fuels faith while foolish ones can drain the soul. Ultimately, the measure of true discipleship is demonstrated through love for one another, which serves as a beacon for the world. It aims to provide a "map" for listeners to inspect and navigate these essential aspects of their lives, encouraging a surrender to God's guidance for a purposeful journey.

This week at All People, Pastor Larissa emphasizes the spiritual warfare believers face, likening it to a physical war that requires proper preparation and understanding. The core message highlights that while a "war has been waged against us," it has already been won by Jesus, yet many Christians remain "ignorant of the enemy's devices" and the "weapons of their warfare." She contrasts this unpreparedness with the importance of knowing God's character—that He is good and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him—and actively resisting deception by discerning God's voice from other influences. She concludes by outlining nine spiritual weapons for this ongoing battle, including taking thoughts captive, leveraging love and joy, prioritizing God's promises, and establishing a "systematic set discourse" to respond to attacks with faith and patience.
