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.

Pastor Stephanie Roberts | All People
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.

Contend For The Faith | Bishop Brian Greene | All People
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.

Ghost Stories Pt. 3 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
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.

Ghost Stories Pt. 2 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
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.

Ghost Stories Pt. 1 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People Church, Pastor Josh launches a new series titled "Ghost Stories," which focuses on the Holy Spirit. The central purpose of the message is to encourage listeners to understand that the Holy Spirit is God living in us—not an "it," but a divine presence—and is actively writing God's story through our lives. He emphasizes the power of stories to capture attention, build connection, bring truth to life, and inspire action, arguing that our personal testimonies are essential elements of God's ongoing narrative. 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.

Built Different Pt. 4 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
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.

Built Different Pt. 2 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
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.

Through personal testimonies and interpretations of scripture, the students emphasize that they are loved, chosen, and fearfully and wonderfully made by a Creator God, highlighting the importance of continually renewing one's mind with these truths. The discussion also touches on practical advice for staying grounded, such as surrounding oneself with scripture and supportive people, and intentionally engaging with God through prayer.

This week at All People, Pastor Josh emphasizes the critical difference between natural sight and spiritual vision, using personal anecdotes about his own eyesight to illustrate how people often miss what's right in front of them, both physically and spiritually. 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.

Identity | Pastor Stephanie Roberts | All People
This week at All People Pastor Stephanie Roberts, delves into the profound subject of identity, asserting that it answers the question "who am I?" and profoundly shapes every aspect of life, from self-perception to relationships. 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.

Drawing parallels between the biblical story of Joseph and Barbara’s own journey, it highlights how acknowledging and releasing past hurts—not merely forgetting them—allows individuals to move forward without bitterness. The core message emphasizes that God's presence remains with us through all circumstances, even when we feel forgotten, and that the ultimate act of forgiveness is exemplified by Jesus, who offered grace to those who didn't deserve it. The discussion culminates in an invitation to embrace this foundational forgiveness from God, which enables individuals to extend it to others and live a life unburdened by past experiences.

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 then outlines practical steps for making God first, including starting each day with Him, centering decisions on His will, and ordering one's life around His priorities. 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.

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.

Search And Rescue Pt. 5 | Pastor Josh Roberts | All People
This week at All People, Pastor Josh ties in "Search and Rescue”. He emphasizes that God is actively engaged in rescuing humanity from sin and has invited His followers to join this "mission of God," or Missio Dei. He asserts that believers are "missionaries first", regardless of their profession, and are called to "go" out into the world rather than simply "gather" in a church building, which is merely bricks and mortar until the congregation brings it to life. This outward focus is rooted in Jesus's example of seeking out the lost, exemplified by the story of Zacchaeus, and the understanding that rescue begins with relationships, not sermons. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to embrace their identity as ambassadors of Christ, participating in local and global outreach efforts, because true transformation occurs when individuals genuinely encounter Jesus, whose mission the church exists to further.

He highlights that societal decay stems from fractured families and challenges men to embrace their God-given position as spiritual leaders. This "rescue mission" involves three key actions: "return" to prayer and purpose, "keep" God's commandments by setting moral standards and guarding their homes, and "do" by actively leading and collaborating within their communities. Ultimately, the message calls for fathers to focus on strengthening their own homes, believing this individual effort can collectively transform communities, nations, and the world, ensuring a strong foundation for future generations.

The service concludes with a final message from Pastor Tom himself, emphasizing the importance of Jesus as the only way to the Father and offering an opportunity for listeners to accept Christ.

This week at All People, Pastor Josh speaks on a series called “Search and Rescue”. It focuses on the concept of God's mission to seek and save the lost, drawing parallels between the human experience of losing something valuable and God's perspective on lost people. He emphasizes that God is a searching, sending, and rescuing God, highlighting the theological term missio Dei (the mission of God) and arguing that the church's mission is simply to join God in His pre-existing work. The sermon uses the biblical story of Zacchaeus as a key example, illustrating that Jesus actively pursues individuals who are considered outcasts and that rescue begins with entering into relationship rather than expecting people to come to the church. Ultimately, the core message is that transformation follows encounters with Christ, and the church is called to be actively engaged in search and rescue, not by waiting for people to come but by going to them with a heart to love, serve, and introduce them to the life change found in Jesus.
