Sojourn Church Podcast is the sermon audio feed of Sojourn Church in Scottsdale, Arizona. Its recent episodes are built around biblical exposition rather than interviews or topical commentary. The pattern is steady. A passage is read, its setting is explained, and the sermon moves toward theological meaning and pastoral application. Much of the current material follows the Gospel of Luke section by section. That series treats Luke as a carefully ordered account grounded in eyewitness testimony, with repeated attention to who Jesus is and what following him requires. Several sermons work through Luke 6 and the Sermon on the Plain. They consider enemy love, judgment, the marks of true discipleship, and the blessed life according to Jesus. The tone is warm, but not soft. It often asks direct questions about belief, obedience, death, sin, and hope. Holy Week brings a sharper concentration on the suffering and resurrection of Christ. The Good Friday sermon on Matthew 27 lingers over forsakenness, darkness, divine judgment, and the meaning of Jesus descending into hell. The Easter sermon on Lazarus begins with the indignity of death before turning to Christ’s victory over the grave. Palm Sunday connects Isaiah’s servant song with Jesus setting his face toward Jerusalem. Pastor Scott’s delivery is measured and explanatory, with occasional dry humor and clear signposting. He uses theological vocabulary without making the sermons feel academic. The show is especially attentive to the gap between understanding a passage and living under it. It is not trying to sound casual or personality-driven. Its strength is the patient, cumulative force of a preacher working through Scripture in front of a congregation. For listeners seeking classic Christian sermon teaching with clear structure and a serious view of the Bible, it offers a direct and grounded place to start.
Made for: For Christians, churchgoers, and spiritually curious listeners who want accessible biblical sermons with clear theological claims. It especially suits those interested in Luke, discipleship, Holy Week, and pastoral application.
What sets it apart: The show’s strength is its disciplined passage-by-passage structure: it explains the text, names the doctrine, and presses toward lived response. It balances plain language with serious themes such as judgment, resurrection, mercy, and the cross.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A steady Resurrection Sunday sermon that lets grief stay real before hope arrives.
The sermon stays on Resurrection Sunday by tracing John 11 through Lazarus' death and Jesus' answer to it. It gives the grave scene room to breathe, and that is where it works best. Sorrow is not rushed past.
A clear sermon on why Jesus chose twelve unlikely men.
Luke 6:12-16 is read as the moment Jesus names the twelve apostles, and the sermon lingers on why that choice matters. It connects Luke's concern for eyewitness testimony to confidence in the gospel, then sets the twelve beside the twelve tribes as a picture of a renewed people…
A Sabbath conflict that stays focused on Scripture, law, and rest.
This sermon reads Luke 6 as a Sabbath dispute with genuine theological weight. Pastor Scott works through the Pharisees' categories, the charge that the disciples are harvesting, and Jesus' appeal to David and the bread of the Presence, staying with the passage's logic instead…
Jesus is presented as the bridegroom, and fasting is framed as a matter of timing because the season of rejoicing has arrived.
This piece reads the passage as a claim about interruption and timing: Jesus names himself the bridegroom, treats the present as a time for rejoicing, and places fasting in the later moment when he is taken away. The point is plain enough.
A steady sermon review that makes obedience the main question.
The sermon treats Luke as a careful, orderly account built on eyewitness testimony, then uses that frame to press a simple point: discipleship means following Jesus by his word, not by instinct.
