The NorthWord
NorthWord is a daily Christian podcast from St. John's Fort Smith in collaboration with the Anglican Family. Hosted by Father Aaron from Fort Smith, Northwest Territories.
Here's how it works: Every Sunday we release the full sermon preached that morning. Then Monday through Saturday, you get 3-5 minute daily reflections based on that sermon - one thought you can actually use each day. Every Wednesday we explore the rhythm of Jesus' life and how his followers have lived it out for 2,000 years.
Whether you're Pentecostal, Orthodox, Baptist, Catholic, or just curious about faith - this is for you. Ancient faith. Real life. No fluff.
The Word. The North. Your Week.

The Valley of Pride | Lent II Sermon
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Pride isn't what you think it is. In this Lent II sermon from St. John's Anglican Church in Fort Smith, we dive into John 3:1-17 and the story of Nicodemus — a man who genuinely believed in Jesus but came to him at night, where no one could see. Jesus dismantles his theology, his credentials, and his sense of control. But he doesn't condemn him. Instead he offers the one thing pride can never earn. You can't grasp grace while you're grasping for greatness.
