Vertical Church / Iglesia Vertical is a sermon podcast from Vertical Church with messages presented in both English and Spanish. Its recent run centers on the series “Jesus Is.” The focus is narrow in the best sense. Each message returns to the question of who Jesus is and why that answer changes belief, behavior, worship, and daily priorities. The sermons lean heavily on Scripture, with passages drawn from Matthew, Romans, Luke, John, Philippians, Hebrews, Revelation, Isaiah, Psalms, and Galatians. They are built for a gathered church setting, so the feed keeps the feel of Sunday preaching rather than studio conversation. There are greetings, Bible prompts, brief jokes, call-and-response moments, and closing prayers. Then the tone tightens. The teaching presses toward self-examination, especially around pride, legalism, hypocrisy, selective obedience, and treating faith like a customizable preference. Jesus is presented as fully human and fully divine, near enough to understand pain and powerful enough to save. Easter episodes carry a more declarative rhythm, emphasizing the resurrection, the empty grave, and Jesus as the living Son of God. Other messages describe him as Savior and Lord, stressing both rescue and authority. The Lion and Lamb theme adds another contrast: strength with mercy, protection with sacrifice, courage with compassion. The bilingual structure is a practical strength. English and Spanish listeners can encounter parallel teaching without the show feeling split into unrelated feeds. The result is clear, pastoral, Christian preaching for people who want sermon audio that is doctrinal, devotional, and personally challenging.
Made for: For English- and Spanish-speaking Christians who want sermon teaching rooted in Scripture, prayer, worship, and practical discipleship. It especially fits listeners drawn to Christian preaching with a clear call to examine and live out faith.
What sets it apart: The show pairs bilingual church preaching with repeated, accessible teaching on the identity of Jesus. Its strength is the blend of warm congregational energy, direct biblical exposition, and a steady emphasis on both grace and obedience.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A pastoral sermon connects Jesus' human suffering with the speaker's account of his divine identity.
A series leading toward Easter begins with Jesus' question in Matthew 16: who do people say the Son of Man is? The speaker approaches that question through Jesus' humanity, recalling his hunger, fatigue, tears and suffering, as well as his denial and betrayal.
Calling Jesus Lord means letting his teachings guide daily decisions.
A light joke about arriving at church clean and an invitation to greet a neighbor give this Spanish-language sermon an easy opening. It soon turns to Luke 6:46 and a more demanding question: why call Jesus "Lord" without doing what he says?
A Matthew 16 sermon connects Jesus' humanity to suffering and his identity as Son of God to salvation.
The sermon opens the Jesus Is series with Jesus' question to his disciples in Matthew 16: "Who do you say I am?" From there, the speaker considers the titles Son of Man and Son of God.
Virgilio pairs Jesus as lion and lamb with a call to examine one's own conduct.
Virgilio closes Vertical Church's "Jesus is" series with the image of Jesus as both lion and lamb, defender and sacrifice. He brings that pairing back to the listener's conduct: pride and hypocrisy deserve scrutiny before anyone turns to criticize someone else.
Virg asks Christians to examine their own hearts before finding fault with others.
Virg opens his series on relationships by asking where change begins. His answer is close to home: examine your own heart before pointing to someone else's faults. Cain's anger toward Abel and Jesus' warning about judging others give him a way to press that point.
