Antioch Wichita - Sermon Podcast

Kingdom Sexuality Part 8 || Marriage

What does the Bible say about sex in marriage? God's design for humanity is inherently sexual and fulfilling when we embrace it according to His intentions. This week, Pastor Rob discusses God's plan for sex in marriage, including how we should approach it, express gratitude for it, common misconceptions to avoid, and how serious He is about the marriage covenant. 

Just Like He Said || Easter 2025

Easter serves as the ultimate proof that Jesus always fulfills His promises. His death, burial, and resurrection demonstrate God's faithfulness to His people. While individuals in our lives may disappoint us or abandon us at times, Jesus never has and never will. Pastor Rob Danz shared this message titled "Just Like He Said," based on Matthew 16.

S.O.S. Hosanna || Pastor Jamaal Watson

We were honored to have special guest Pastor Jamaal Watson with us this Palm Sunday, who delivered a message titled "SOS Hosanna" from God's Word.

Follow the Light || Pastor Jimmy Hutson

Family ministry pastor Jimmy Hutson preached a sermon titled "Follow the Light" that walks through what it tangibly looks like to die to self and follow Jesus, from Mark 8:34-37.

Kingdom Sexuality Part 7 || Unaliving Lust and Pornography

Lust and pornography are a significant problem within the church, and they break the heart of God and cause damage in our lives. First and foremost, lust is a spiritual defilement that starts in the heart and mind, and porn is an unholy fuel for the fire of lust. However, there is freedom from the bondage of both porn and lust that's found only in Jesus. We must become far more serious about our battles with it and putting it to death. 

Kingdom Sexuality Part 6 || Our Response to LGBTQ

What is the church's response to the LGBTQ community? This week, we explored how followers of Jesus should engage people living alternative lifestyles in a way that honors Jesus, shows His love, and communicates His truth so people can be set free. We don’t judge the world for their sin; we see their need for a savior and respond. #jesus #freedom #sexuality

Kingdom Sexuality Part 5 || Gender, Jesus, and Questions

What is God's heart and purpose for our gender and gender identity? This week, we looked into sex, gender, gender dysphoria, and transgenderism, and why this topic has become so prevalent in the world we live in. Pastor Rob Danz led us through the Word of God to help us find God's purposes in how He has made us and how we should see ourselves biblically, not through our broken lens of feelings and emotions. Our gender is not assigned at birth; it was designed before time began and knit together with divine purpose in our mother's womb by the very hands of God.

Kingdom Sexuality Part 4 || Navigating Questions About Homosexuality

Part 4 of Kingdom Sexuality continues discussing homosexuality by addressing many questions that people have about this lifestyle. Some of the topics Pastor Rob covers in this sermon include: Can someone be gay and still be saved? What is the difference between struggling with a broken sexuality and being openly defiant about it? How is my sin different from yours? Is it possible to change? These questions and more are explored in this week's sermon.

Kingdom Sexuality Part 3 || Homosexuality and the Bible

What does the Bible say about homosexuality, and why is this important for us? When addressing complex topics like sexuality, followers of Jesus should turn to the Word of God to understand His perspective on life and how we should respond. This week, Pastor Rob Danz delivered part three of our Kingdom Sexuality sermon series, focusing on what God has to say about homosexuality.

Kingdom Sexuality Part 2 || The Freedom Road

How can we find clarity and victory in our sexuality? Through Jesus, it is possible to be genuinely free from the trauma of broken sexuality, confusion, worldly influences, and uncontrollable lust. Pastor Rob Danz introduces "The Freedom Road," a resource designed to guide us through these challenging discussions and help us achieve freedom, if we desire it.

Kingdom Sexuality Part 1 || It All Starts With Jesus

This week, we launched our new sermon series "Kingdom Sexuality." In this series, we will explore what the Bible says about sexuality and discuss important topics such as homosexuality, gender, lust, singleness, and sex in marriage. 

Part 1, "It All Starts with Jesus," presents us with two critical questions: 
1) Is it possible that my understanding of sexuality does not align with the heart and commands of Jesus? 
2) If so, am I willing to lay aside my views and pursue what He desires for my life?

Romans 8 || Life in the Spirit - Elder Rick Meeks

Elder Rick Meeks delivered a powerful message based on Romans 8, titled "Life in the Spirit." He emphasized that God accomplished what the law could not, and now, through life in the Spirit, Christ lives within us. We are free from the deeds of our sinful nature, able to call Him Abba, and empowered to live through the gifts He has given us.

Vision Sunday Part 2 || Where We Are Going

This week, we concluded our 2025 Vision Sunday with "Where We Are Going." Pastor Rob outlined some of the vision for us as a global movement of churches, sharing the Antioch Wichita heart for this year and introducing our 2030 Vision for the next five years. 

Vision Sunday Part 1 || Who We Are, Where We Have Been, and a Crossroads

As a church family with a rich history of God's power and movement, we find ourselves at a crossroads, and it’s time to recommit once again. Pastor Rob Danz discusses Antioch Wichita's original calling, our history, and a compelling invitation to fully engage and dream again. Part 1 of our 2025 Vision Sunday was titled "Who We Are, Where We Have Been, and a Crossroads."

Preparing to Prepare || Pastor Jimmy Hutson

Pastor Jimmy Hutson discusses how we can walk purposefully and set roles and goals for this new year to grow in faithfulness and obedience. Setting simple goals and working with the Lord to accomplish them will help us grow personally and spiritually.

A Response to Divine Interruption || Advent 2024 Part 3

When Jesus arrives in a manger, He completely interrupts the lives of all who encounter Him. Just as we see in the lives of Mary and Joseph, our response to Christ’s presence should inspire trust, obedience, and worship. We gladly receive this holy interruption to our plans because of who He is and all He has done for us. Pastor Rob Danz concludes our Advent 2024 series with part 3, "A Response to Divine Interruption."

Waiting for Something || Advent 2024 Part 2

A significant aspect of Advent is anticipation, which inherently involves waiting. Waiting can be one of the most valuable opportunities for us to learn about godliness, maturity, and faith. Learning to wait on the Lord is essential for growth as a disciple of Jesus. The Kingdom of God is not only worth the wait, but there is also great value in the waiting itself. Part 2 of our Advent 2024 Sermon Series was titled "Waiting for Something."

Longing Through the Tension || Advent 2024 Part 1

We live in a unique time in history, where many of God's promises have come alive because of Jesus's birth, ministry, death, burial, and resurrection. At the same time, the brokenness of the world and man continues to plague the earth. What we long for in that tension between the "already and not yet Kingdom" will dictate the victory and direction of our lives. Pastor Rob Danz starts our Advent 2024 sermon series with Part 1: Longing Through the Tension, out of Luke 21:25-36.

Who is Coming to Christmas? Pastor Jimmy Hutson

Family ministry pastor Jimmy Hutson launches us towards Christmas with our first sermon for the 2024 Advent season. We can put our faith and trust in God. He has already shown us we can trust Him by sending Jesus. We can trust that what He said in his word and what He promised us will come true in His timing, His way, and grace. 

Kingdom Narratives || The Parables of Jesus Part 7: His Eyes are on the Road

The parable of the prodigal son is a powerful story that gives us a snapshot of the Kingdom of God. Because of the Lord's love, He will let us go in our rebellion, allowing us to reach the bottom of our lives so we might be humbled and return home as sons and daughters who want to be close to the Father. His eyes are on the road, waiting to welcome us back home regardless of what we have done and where we have been. Pastor Rob Danz taught part 7 of our Kingdom Narratives series on the parables of Jesus.
