SAA Alumni Sabbath - "The Centurion's Sermon," with Pastor Matthew Rajarathinam - May 16, 2026

MR Matthew Racharatnam May 16, 2026 1h 18m
Sermon Summary

In this message, Matthew Racharatnam holds up the centurion in Matthew 8 as a picture of faith that Jesus marvels at: humble, confident, and completely surrendered to Christ’s authority. He shows that real faith is not about managing God, but trusting His word, moving toward Jesus, and coming with honest need rather than self-sufficiency. Most strikingly, the centurion’s faith is for someone else — a suffering servant — reminding listeners that mature faith doesn’t stop at personal blessing but carries the burdens of others into God’s presence. This sermon matters because it asks a searching question: who is being lifted by your faith, and does your trust in Jesus reach beyond yourself?

Living Holy, Living Wholly

Chad Stuart

In this message, Chad Stuart reminds believers that the body is not a disposable shell or private possession, but the temple of the Holy Spirit, bought by the price of Christ’s cross. He shows how Scripture refuses to separate spiritual life from physical life, calling disciples to love God with their strength as well as their hearts and minds. Rather than laying down harsh rules, he invites listeners to respond to Jesus’ love by honoring their bodies through wise, grace-filled habits that support wholeness. The challenge is simple but weighty: if God owns us completely, then caring for our bodies becomes an act of worship and a practical expression of discipleship.

Hadid Cortez

In this message, Hadid Cortez challenges the idea that the Christian life is about arriving at absolute certainty and instead shows it as a lifelong journey of discovery, growth, and trust in God. Using the limits of math, science, and the stories of Moses, Peter, and Paul, he reminds listeners that even the greatest minds and strongest believers were shaped more by unfolding grace than by perfect understanding. His central insight is that faith is not a closed system to master, but a living relationship with a God who is always greater than our categories and expectations. This matters because it frees believers to stop chasing the illusion of having it all figured out and to press on with humility, wonder, and confidence in the God who keeps leading them forward.

"The Women Behind the Exodus" with Pastor Chad Stuart - May 9, 2026

Chad Stuart

In this message, Chad Stuart shines a light on the often-overlooked women behind the Exodus and reminds us that God’s greatest work is usually carried by faithful people no one puts in the spotlight. Through the courage of the midwives, the faith of Jochebed and Miriam, the compassion of Pharaoh’s daughter, and the resolve of Zipporah, he shows that ordinary obedience can shape history in ways we never see coming. Chad Stuart’s challenge is simple but searching: fear God above every other fear, act faithfully in the moment, and trust that your small role matters in God’s larger story. This sermon will encourage anyone who feels unseen, reminding them that the Lord notices, values, and uses quiet faithfulness.

André Arrais

In this sermon, André Arrais calls listeners to see that the Christian life is not sustained by religious effort, but by a deep dependence on God’s grace and presence. He shows how the heart so often drifts toward self-reliance, and he challenges believers to return to humility, trust, and obedience as the true path of spiritual life. With warmth and clarity, he reminds us that God meets those who come honestly before Him, and that real renewal begins when we stop pretending we are strong enough on our own. This message matters because it points weary believers back to the One who can restore, strengthen, and lead them with steadfast love.

Elijah Stanley

In this message, Elijah Stanley leads listeners into a powerful reminder that the Holy Spirit cannot be contained, controlled, or predicted — God moves however He chooses, whether gently or with fire. Elijah’s prayerful challenge is to trust that the same God who has stirred our own hearts to obedience and rescued us from brokenness is still able to reach our children, families, and loved ones. He calls the church not to take worship lightly, but to recognize that every song, prayer, and act of service is a chance for God to speak and transform lives. It matters because this sermon invites listeners to surrender their need for control and believe that the Lord is still at work, leading people into greater faith and obedience.

[ONLINE EXP] The evidence of our faith | SEEN Bonus Episode | NEWHOPEfulton

This message challenges the church to move beyond collecting information about Jesus and into living a faith that leaves a visible mark. Through Mary’s costly act of anointing Jesus and Jesus’ washing of the disciples’ feet, we see that true belief becomes beautiful when it turns into humble, sacrificial service. The sermon reminds us that the world does not just need more opinions about faith, but evidence of faith in action. When we pour ourselves out for others, we create a fragrance of grace that changes the atmosphere around us and points people to Jesus.
