Redemption City Church

Becoming like Jesus happens one step at a time! Life is full of ups and downs and as followers of Jesus it's easy to doubt God when things aren't going good. But the hope and promise is that Jesus is with us no matter where we are or what season we're walking through. Jesus promises that "all things are possible for those who believe."

When you help people Belong, you help people Believe! This is not just a catchy statement; it was how Jesus lived Hisy we as a church seek life and the way to live. Jesus never overlooked sin, but He saw how His grace was greater than the sin. And just like the woman in John 8, He longs to lift our face to see that there is no condemnation in His eyes, only love and grace!

In order to recognize love you must first know how much you are loved. Love doesn't begin with us but with God, and if we are going to be people of love then we must first understand the length to which He loved us!

Freedom is yours in Christ, so start living! Chapter 8 of Romans is a declaration that In Christ there is now and forever NO condemnation for me, and that I am free and empowered to walk in the Spirit! There is a life that is available to me in Christ through the Holy Spirit that is one of purpose, power, and laid down for the good of the Church. As a community of believers we want to live into th...

Look a the Lord’s love, not just the letter of the “Law.” Even though the Law was meant to be beautiful and right and it is, it is like a mirror showing us our self-reliance driven by fear of condemnation and consequence. Whether that is in areligious context or a non-religious context the human condition pulls us in this direction. And Pauls is encouraging us that we can't fulfill the law on our...

If you have Jesus, you have everything! In a day when peace and love are in high demand, but short supply we as followers of Jesus have a source that will never run dry. Paul tells us in Romans chapter 5 that the peace and love that we have in god didn't come by us being good enough but it came when we were at our worst and that's good news!! Why?? because that means I didn't earn it and can't los...

Real faith is not perfect; but it trusts in a perfect God. Following the example of Abraham and David we see that faith is simply trusting in a God that is able to save and declare righteous. This is not because we've shown ourselves to be able but because of His great love. The encouragement from these mens lives is that God is willing to save and use even those that don't get it right all the ti...

The gospel doesn't;t just judge us, it justifies us. In the story of the gospel it doesn't start pretty. In fact it begins with a dark reality that we're dead and enemies of God with no hope. Then by God's great love. He stepped in and justified us by the blood of Jesus! Now we aren't just slaves, but we're sons and daughters of God and as disciples who are following Jesus we must live into this r...

The gospel reveals man's true motives, and it also reveals God's true motives! It's isn't just about following Jesus, but how you're following Him, and we see very clearly that God is very concerned with our hearts. his heart is clear to see in that He has given us time and time again to repent and turn top Him and in that we see His heart is not to judge but to reconcile!

See your sin as a sentence of death, and seek the savior. Sin is something no body wants to talk about because it speaks to the heart of EVERY single person. It seems like a hard conversation to have and it is unless there is one that can pay the penalty for our sin. the good news is that the bad news isn't final and even in light of how bad our news is, we see how good the news of Jesus is! His l...

Are you living ups to the name you claim? The Gospel makes all the difference and what the world is wondering is does the gospel make a difference in your life. This week we look at the cornerstone message in the book of Romans and how it is an encouragement and a challenge to all who believe! It is not about making a decision, it's about being a disciple of Jesus that follows in His steps and doe...

The power of the gospel doesn’t just change our past, it doesn't just change our future, it changes everything about how we can live today it! This is going to the the drum Paul will beat all through the book of Romans and it is the core of the Gospel itself. We often think the gospel is only good for salvation but it truly is the power that enables us to live a life of loving God, and loving othe...

God is not interested in how you see you, He’s interested in you knowing how he sees you. It is hard to be a man in today's culture and we are in need of men to embrace their inner warrior. Not some fake bravado but a deeply rooted, godly courage that is willing to step out into the fight and pursue the Lord at all cost.

God's work includes me, and yet it's bigger than me. This morning we start a journey through Paul's letter to the Romans and in the opening verses Paul lays out the call to step into something bigger than the mundane. To be captivated by God, to live as one freely and forever loved, and to step into the calling He's placed on each of our lives!

Holiness of heart leads to holiness of life. To fight for your marriage means to live a life that pursues the presence of God, and in His presence we behold His holiness. This pursuit take a sacrificial choice to leave behind the things that used to hold our hearts and learn to live in the presence of God no matter where we are or what season of life we are in.

Intimacy will never happen by chance, you have to choose it! Everyone longs for an intimate marriage but that happens when both husband and wife look to meet the needs of the other in the pursuit of simply loving one another like Christ has loved them. This week we want to see how scripture encourages us to become the type of person that chooses intimacy over anything else.

Every relationship ends up somewhere, but few end up somewhere on purpose! In a day with more emphasis on relationships we are experiencing less and less great pictures of great marriages, and that's why we want to see what scriptures would have for us as disciples to fight for what really matters! This starts with looking at where our priorities are and making sure that at the start of our marria...

Today we take time to celebrate our moms and recognize them as the gift they are. We understand that we would not be were we are without the women in our lives that encourage us, challenge us, and spur us on to live a legacy of faith!

To rest in God, is to live in rhythm with God. In a day with more amenities and luxuries than ever we feel the most stress and unrest than ever. And yet God has given us the gift of Sabbath rest. Not just rest for your mind, or rest for your body, but as Jesus said, "rest for your soul".

We fast from food to feast on Jesus. Fasting as a follower of Jesus is not required and does not make you more spiritual but yet is a great way to bring your mind, body, and soul into alignment with the way of Jesus. This week we look at what is fasting, why we fast, and practical ways to implement fasting into our everyday lives.

Prayer is about love. Prayer is about showing up again and again to the secret place in my heart where the real me can experience the real God. Prayer is about being known and knowing the God who loves me more than I could ever love Him. So this week we look at what is looks like to grow in our love for God through the practice of prayer.

Following Jesus doesn't happen without intentionality. One of the intentional ways we love and follow Jesus is by letting the Word of God dig deep into us and transform us. See the Bible wasn't written to inform us, but to transform us. So this week we look deep into the practice of scripture and how it will transform our discipleship to Jesus.

"Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life." - Dallas Willard. For us to follow Jesus means that we must slow our pace of life down and walk with Jesus even if it means changing my schedule, priorities, and plans. As Followers of Jesus we must make intentional decisions to choose the way of Jesus over our own way and over the way of the culture around is. Follow Jesus is simple, but it's just...
