Welcome to All Nations Community Church! In this episode, Pastor Terence teaches from Matthew 3 and Luke 1, showing why John the Baptist was such a pivotal figure in preparing the way for Jesus. The world measures greatness by appearance and achievement, but God looks at the heart, and John was called “great in the sight of the Lord.” This message invites you to pause and ask, “What is the condition of my heart before God?” You will also be encouraged to understand your purpose, choosing humility like John, who said, “He must increase, I must decrease.” Pastor Terence challenges the church to preach the message of Christ in season and out of season, and to stand firm for truth even when culture pushes back. Finally, the message comes to a clear call: repent, turn from sin, and make room for the King. As you listen, reflect, share with someone, and ask the Holy Spirit to prepare your heart for Jesus anew.

Welcome to All Nations Community Church! In this opening message of our Christmas series, Pastor Terence leads us to the Lord’s Table and calls us to remember where we were when we received the gift of salvation. Communion becomes a holy moment of gratitude, reflection, and realignment. From there, we walk through prophecy and see that Jesus’ birth was not accidental, it was announced long before Bethlehem. From Genesis 3:15 to Isaiah 9:6, we see the coming Messiah promised, and in the New Testament we see Him revealed as God with us, the exact representation of the Father. Jesus is the Son given, the King whose government rests on His shoulders, and the Prince of Peace who reconciles us to God. As you listen, take a moment to reflect: where has your focus drifted, and how can your worship become more intentional this season? Share this episode with someone who needs to remember that Christmas is about Christ.

This episode is a timely encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, delayed, or discouraged. Pastor Ras takes us through the powerful truth of Philippians 3:13 to 14, where the Apostle Paul declares that he presses on toward the prize. Through relatable stories, biblical insight, and faith-building declarations, we learn the three L’s of forward movement: look ahead with faith, learn from your setbacks, and live with a mission focus.

You will be reminded that God is not finished with you and that your next step of faith can open the door to a new move of God. Take time to listen, reflect, and share this message with someone who needs hope today.

This week’s sermon from Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani continues our Victory Mindset series with a powerful reminder: “Pressure is unavoidable, but bowing to it is optional.”

Drawing from Psalm 84 and other powerful passages, Pastor Ras encourages believers to see pressure not as punishment but as preparation. Through praise and perseverance, valleys become springs of strength, and moments of weakness become testimonies of God’s power.

Listen and be reminded that you can stand tall under pressure, sing louder in the storm, and discover that your worship is your weapon.
If this message blesses you, share it with someone who needs strength today and join us next week as we continue the Victory Mindset journey.

Welcome to the first message in our Victory Mindset series. In “I’m Done With Defeat,” Pastor Ras speaks straight into the mental and spiritual battles many of us quietly carry. He explains that defeat does not start with what happens to us on the outside, it starts with the thoughts we accept on the inside. Through Romans 8 and practical illustrations, we learn that we have two “coaches” speaking to us, the Holy Spirit who calls us chosen, loved, and more than conquerors, and the enemy who calls us failures, unworthy, and stuck.

In this teaching you will discover three key responses: declare your true identity in Christ, disarm the lies with Scripture, and decide to move forward instead of settling on the mat of defeat. As you listen, invite the Holy Spirit to highlight any areas where you have agreed with defeat, and respond with your own declaration: “Enough is enough, I am done with defeat.” Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement today, and let it stir faith, courage, and fresh confidence in Jesus.

Life is full of seasons, and each one holds a lesson from God. Pastor Terence’s sermon, Going Through the Seasons of Life, is a heartfelt reminder that no moment is wasted in God’s plan. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 and Lamentations 3:22–23, he encourages us to recognise the value of every stage—whether it’s spring’s hope, summer’s growth, autumn’s fruit, or winter’s testing. God remains faithful through it all. As you listen, take time to reflect on the season you’re in and ask the Lord, “What are You teaching me here?” May this message strengthen your trust in His timing and inspire you to keep walking in faith. Share this episode with someone who might need encouragement today.

God has put something in you. You were formed from the dust, but you were filled with destiny. In this teaching, Pastor Ras reminds us that there is no split between “spiritual life” and “normal life.” Whatever you do, do it for the Lord. Your home, your job, your studies, your business, your creativity, even the way you speak to people, it all carries the presence of God because His Spirit is in you.

You will also hear a challenge to step into excellence. Excellence is evangelism. When you work with honesty, consistency and courage, people see Christ in you. Finally, you are asked a personal question, “What is in your hand?” In other words, what has God already given you that you are meant to use for His kingdom, right now. This episode will stir your faith, break the fear of not being “good enough”, and push you to move, not just listen.

As you listen, ask the Holy Spirit, “Where have You placed me, and how do You want to use me there.” If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs that reminder: God can use them too.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. In this stirring message from our series Use What You Have, Pastor Ras Manouchehri unpacks the powerful charge in 2 Timothy 1:6-7 to "fan into flame the gift of God." He begins with a compelling truth: that unique gift inside you—whether it's encouragement, service, teaching, or something else—is your personal flame to tend. It is your responsibility to nurture it and allow it to grow.

But what happens when you do? Pastor Ras lovingly and honestly prepares us for the spiritual fight that follows. Using the example of the prophet Elijah, he shows how intimidation often comes on the heels of our greatest victories. Yet, we are not defenceless. This episode is a powerful reminder that we are seated with Christ in a place of ultimate authority. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

As you listen, we invite you to reflect: What is the ‘flame’ God has given you? Where have you felt the pressure of fear or intimidation when trying to use it? Let this message equip and embolden you to step into the freedom and dominion that is your inheritance in Christ. We would be honoured to hear how this word impacts you—share your story with us.
