Prepare the Way of the Lord
In week two of our Christmas series, Pastor Terence takes us into the powerful ministry of John the Baptist. Discover what God calls “greatness”, how to prepare your heart for Jesus, and how to live with purpose, bold faith, and genuine repentance as we await the King.
Prepare the Way of the Lord
Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
As we continue our Christmas series, Come Let Us Adore Him, Pastor Terence reminds us that God does not only prepare a season, He prepares hearts. John the Baptist was sent ahead of Jesus with one clear assignment: prepare the way of the Lord.
While people often measure greatness by looks, success, or achievements, Scripture shows us that John was “great in the sight of the Lord” because of his heart, his surrender, and his obedience.
This message calls each of us to take a fresh look inward, to examine the condition of our hearts, and to let God shape us from the inside out. It also reminds us that every believer has a purpose, that we are called to lift up Jesus rather than ourselves, and that we must be ready to share the gospel with boldness in a challenging world. Above all, John’s message still speaks today: repent, turn to God, and prepare for the coming King.

The Prophecies Of The Coming
Christmas is not a distraction, it is a declaration. In this message, Pastor Terence reminds us that Jesus’ birth was promised, planned, and prophesied, and that communion calls us back to the greatest gift of all: salvation. Come, let us adore Him, not just in December, but all year long.
The Prophecies Of The Coming
Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
As we step into the festive season, it is easy to get pulled by the noise of adverts, food, gifts, and busy plans. But Christmas is bigger than a season; it is the celebration of the birth of a King. In this message, Pastor Terence calls us back to the centre: Jesus.
We begin at the Lord’s Table, remembering the gift of salvation and examining our hearts with gratitude and repentance.
Then we open the Scriptures to see that Jesus’ coming was not random; it was rooted in prophecy and woven through the whole Bible. From Genesis to Isaiah, from the promise of a coming Seed to the names of the coming King, we see God’s plan unfolding with order and power. Jesus is fully God and fully man, the Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This Christmas, let our homes, our hearts, and our worship return to one focus: come, let us adore Him.

Keep Moving Forward
Life has a way of knocking us down, but God never leaves us where we fell. In this message, Pastor Ras reminds us that victory begins in our minds and continues as we choose to look ahead with faith, learn from our struggles, and live with a mission focus. No matter what has happened, you can keep moving forward in Christ.
Keep Moving Forward
here are moments in life when we feel stuck, weighed down by past mistakes or slowed by pressures that seem too heavy to carry. Yet the truth of Scripture calls us to something greater. In this uplifting message titled Keep Moving Forward, Pastor Ras helps us see that victory begins with the mindset we choose. From declaring our God-given identity to standing firm under pressure, every step of faith shapes the way we run our race.
Drawing from Philippians 3:13 to 14, we are reminded that God has called each of us to press on. We do not move forward because life is easy, but because Christ walks beside us. Through powerful illustrations, honest encouragement, and strong biblical teaching, this message helps us look ahead with faith, learn from our setbacks, and live with a clear sense of mission.
If you feel delayed, discouraged, or unsure of your next step, let this word strengthen your confidence in the God who carries you.

I Won’t Bow to Pressure
Pressure is unavoidable, but bowing is optional. In this powerful message, Pastor Ras reminds us that no matter what life throws our way, we can stand firm through faith, choose joy under fire, and find refuge in the presence of Jesus.
I Won’t Bow to Pressure
This week, we continued our Victory Mindset series with a message titled “I Won’t Bow to Pressure.” Life can be full of challenges, financial, emotional, relational, or spiritual, but as believers, we don’t have to be crushed by them. Pressure is unavoidable, but bowing to it is optional.
Psalm 84 reminds us that even in the “Valley of Weeping,” God turns our trials into springs of blessing. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we can stand tall in the fire knowing Jesus stands with us. Like Paul and Silas, we can lift our praise even in chains and watch heaven move on our behalf.
When you refuse to bow to fear, anxiety, or the weight of the world, you make room for God’s presence and power to fill your life. Be encouraged: your melody can become your miracle.
Say it with me: “I won’t bow to pressure, I bow to Jesus!”

I’m Done With Defeat
Too many believers are living like prisoners when Christ has already won the battle. In this opening message of the Victory Mindset series, Pastor Ras draws a clear line in the sand and calls us to say, “I’m done with defeat,” and start living from the victory Jesus has secured. Discover how to break free from limiting thoughts, silence the lies of the enemy, and walk as more than a conqueror.
I’m Done With Defeat
In this powerful first message of our Victory Mindset series, Pastor Ras calls us to make a clear decision in our hearts. Many of us love Jesus, yet still think, feel, and live as if we are losing. The enemy wages war in our minds with fear, shame, comparison, and negative scripts that say we will never change. Using Romans 8:35–37, we are reminded that in Christ we are not fighting for victory, we are standing in victory.
This message helps us to recognise the “two coaches” speaking into our thoughts, the Holy Spirit who leads us into truth and freedom, and the enemy who lies, accuses, and pushes us toward defeat. Pastor Ras shows that defeat does not begin with our circumstances; it begins with what we agree with in our minds. As we choose to declare our God-given identity, disarm every lie with the Word, and decide to move forward in faith, we step into the freedom Jesus has already purchased for us. This is not just a phrase, it is a decision: I’m done with defeat.

Going Through the Seasons of Life
Life comes in seasons; times of growth, pruning, and waiting. In this message, Pastor Terence reminds us that every season has purpose and beauty when we walk with God. Whatever you are facing, this word will help you trust His timing and remain steadfast in faith.
Going Through the Seasons of Life
Welcome to All Nations Community Church! We are so glad you have joined us as we continue to grow together in God’s Word. Life is full of seasons; moments of joy, challenge, change, and growth; and each one carries a divine purpose. In this encouraging message, Going Through the Seasons of Life, Pastor Terence reminds us that the same God who designed spring, summer, autumn, and winter also guides the seasons of our lives. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1–8, he shares how God makes everything beautiful in His time. Whether you are walking through a time of new beginnings, fruitfulness, pruning, or waiting, this message will help you see that God is faithful through it all.
Be encouraged, your season has meaning, and your story is in His mighty hands.

Use What You Have
You are not here by accident. God has placed gifts, opportunity, influence and calling in you, and He is asking you to use what you already have, right now, for His glory. This message breaks the lie that only “church work” is spiritual and calls you to live with excellence, boldness, and purpose in every part of life.
Use What You Have
Welcome, friends. This message is the final part of our series, Use What You Have. We have learned that we were formed from the dust, but we were filled with destiny. God breathed His life into us, and He placed gifts in us. Not just for Sundays in church, but for every day of our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Ras challenges the idea that some things are “spiritual” and some things are “just normal life.” Your job, your studies, your business, your parenting, your conversations, even the way you send an email, it all matters to God. You carry the presence of God into your workplace, your classroom, your home and your community.
We also hear a strong call to excellence. Excellence is not about showing off, it is about honouring Jesus with all your heart in whatever He has trusted you with. Finally, you are asked a simple question, “What is in your hand?” God can use what you have, right now, to influence others and change lives.
Do not wait for perfect. Start with what He has already given you.

Unleash Your Flame
God has placed a unique gift inside of you—a flame waiting to be fanned to life. But the moment you start to use it, opposition will come. Discover how to fight the spirit of fear and walk in the freedom and authority Jesus died to give you.
Unleash Your Flame
Welcome, friends. We're so glad to continue our series, Use What You Have, with this powerful message from Pastor Ras. Building on last week's foundation that we are all uniquely formed and filled by God, this week delves into the dynamic life that follows when we choose to activate what He has placed within us.
Many of us sense a calling or a 'spark' of a gift, but so often, it's met with a wave of fear, doubt, or intimidation. We feel unequipped or too afraid to step out. If that resonates with you, this message is your divine encouragement. Pastor Ras offers a stirring and timely reminder that your gifts are not meant to remain dormant. They are your flame to tend, and your authority in Christ is the key to unleashing them upon the world.
We pray this message inspires you to fan your flame and walk boldly in the authority Jesus has given you.

Ordinary Dirt, Extraordinary Go
Do you ever feel too ordinary, too flawed, or too ill-equipped for God’s purposes? Be encouraged. This powerful message reveals that God specialises in using our humble beginnings and weaknesses as the very materials for His extraordinary work. You are not an accident; you are a vessel of divine purpose. Sermon by Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani
Ordinary Dirt, Extraordinary God
Welcome, friends. We are so excited to begin this powerful new series, "Use What You Have," with a foundational message from Pastor Ras titled "Ordinary Dirt, Extraordinary God." So many of us sit on the gifts God has given us, waiting for the perfect conditions or for us to feel ‘ready’. But what if God wants to use exactly what you have right now?
This sermon is a beautiful and humbling reminder that our value does not come from our own polish or perfection, but from the breath of our Creator. You were not formed by accident, but by the intentional, loving hands of God, and He has a magnificent purpose for your life. If you’ve ever felt inadequate or overlooked, this message will reawaken your spirit to the incredible treasure you carry.
We pray this message has encouraged you to see yourself and the gifts God has given you in a new, hopeful light.

A Journey Into The Wilderness
The wilderness is not a wasteland, it is a meeting place with God. Drawing from the life of Moses, Terry invites us to empty our hearts, listen for God’s gentle voice, and carry a holy fire that does not burn out.
A Journey Into The Wilderness
In this uplifting message, Terry takes us into the wilderness with Moses, where an ordinary day of tending sheep became a holy encounter. Moses was carrying the weight of failure and fear, unsure of himself and far from home. Yet as God called his name from the burning bush, asked him to remove his sandals, and revealed His heart, Moses discovered that the wilderness is not a dead end, it is holy ground.
This powerful moment reminds us that God is with us in every season of life. He draws near when we empty ourselves, He speaks in the quiet when the world is noisy, He fills empty jars when we come hungry, He sets a fire within us that does not burn out, and He sends us back to lead with courage. As we choose the fear of the Lord and guard what influences us, we make room for His presence to shape our steps.
May this message encourage you to recognise His presence in your daily journey and to come as an empty vessel He can fill.

El Shaddai, the God Who Is More Than Enough
God has not changed. He rescued then, He provides now, He heals today. This message calls us to believe again, to take a step of faith, and to encounter El Shaddai, the God who is more than enough.
El Shaddai, the God Who Is More Than Enough
In this message, Pastor Ras leads us through the powerful truth that God reveals Himself as El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient One. Drawing from Psalm 91, we see God’s promise to answer, protect, and satisfy with long life and salvation. We reflect on the Red Sea rescue, manna in the wilderness, water from the rock, the widow’s jar, Naaman’s healing, and the woman who touched Jesus and was made whole. These stories are not distant memories; they are signposts that point to a faithful God who still works wonders today.
As you listen, bring your Red Sea, your wilderness, and your need for healing to the Lord. Pray, respond in simple obedience, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement. Let faith rise. If He rescued them then, He will rescue now. If He provided then, He will provide now. If He healed then, He will heal now.
May this message encourage you to pray boldly, trust deeply, and take a fresh step of faith, because if He did it before, He will do it again.

God Is Faithful
Hannah’s story teaches us to trust God, to wait for His timing, and to pour out our hearts in prayer. Even when misunderstood and provoked, she stayed focused on the Lord, and He answered. Be encouraged to keep your eyes on God, not the problem, and to let patience have its work.
God Is Faithful
In this uplifting message, Pastor Terence opens with 1 Samuel 1 and invites us to learn from Hannah, a woman with a deep longing and a steadfast faith. Though God had closed her womb, and she was provoked by Peninnah, misunderstood by her husband, and misjudged by Eli, she did not retaliate. She poured out her soul to the Lord, trusted His character, and made a vow that honoured God.
We are reminded that God is sovereign and faithful, that He honours those who honour Him, 1 Samuel 2:30. We are urged to guard our words, Proverbs 18:21, to refuse revenge, Romans 12:19, and to seek God with all our hearts, Jeremiah 29:13. Waiting is not wasting, 2 Corinthians 4:17–18. At the appointed time, God answered, and Samuel was dedicated to serve the Lord.
May this message help you fix your focus on God, not comparison, not provocation, and keep believing for His perfect timing.

Jesus, the Name Above Every Name
There is power in the name of Jesus. Pastor Mike shows how His name reveals who He is, why He came, and what He still does, saving, healing, and lifting us from every pit. Be strengthened to pray in His name with fresh faith.
Jesus, the Name Above Every Name
In this message, Pastor Mike invites us to look again at the name of Jesus, the name above every name. From John 14:12–14 we learn to ask in His name with confidence. Matthew 1:21 calls Him Jesus because He saves His people from their sins, and Emmanuel because God is with us. Luke 1 reveals His supernatural birth, John 1 shows the Word made flesh, Philippians 2 declares that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
We hear how His name declares His identity, His intentions, His humility, and His uniqueness. He came to seek and to save the lost, He gave His life as a ransom, and He lifts us out of the pit, Psalm 40, setting our feet on the rock. Be encouraged to trust His finished work, to come boldly to the throne of grace, and to speak His name over your life and family.

The Risen Lord Is With Us
On the road to Emmaus, two disciples discovered that Jesus was walking with them, even when they could not recognise Him. Pastor Terence reminds us that the risen Christ still walks with us today, in our conversations, our disappointments, our homes, and our daily journey of faith.
The Risen Lord Is With Us
In this uplifting message, Pastor Terence takes us to the road to Emmaus, where two discouraged disciples encountered the risen Christ. They were confused, disappointed, and unable to recognise that Jesus Himself was walking alongside them. Yet as He spoke, opened the Scriptures, and broke bread with them, their eyes were opened and their hearts burned within them.
This powerful passage reminds us that Christ is with us in every season of life. He is present when we gather in His name, He comes close when we are disappointed, He draws near when we open His Word, He enters our homes when we invite Him, and He opens our eyes to see His truth. Just as those disciples went back with joy to share the good news, we too are called to live with the assurance that Jesus is alive and walking with us today.
May this message encourage you to recognise His presence in your daily journey and to hold fast to the hope of the risen Lord.

The World Can’t Wait
The world is desperate for hope, and the Church cannot afford to stay silent. In this powerful message, Pastor Ras reminds us that heaven is real, hell is real, and the Holy Spirit is alive within us. Now is the time to rise as ambassadors of Christ and reach a world that cannot wait.
The World Can’t Wait
The conference may be over, but the move of God is only just beginning. In this inspiring sermon, Pastor Ras shares the urgent truth that the world cannot wait for the Church to wake up. We are not called to simply gather within four walls, but to rise as ambassadors of Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit and sent into a hurting world.
Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:14–20, this message reminds us that Christ’s love is not just something we receive, but something that compels us to action. Heaven is real, hell is real, and eternity is at stake. Every person we meet is on an eternal journey, and the love of Christ within us must move us to see, love, and reach the world around us. This is not optional, it is our calling.
Whether through a simple testimony, an invitation, or a bold conversation, we are each called to carry the hope of Jesus into our families, workplaces, and communities. The world cannot wait for a blind, cold, or silent church. The world is waiting for you and me to rise.
