Redemption Church Flagstaff

Today we see a section of Esther that gets violent. What do we do with violence in the Old Testament? Is there anything we can learn from the violence in the book of Esther? Believe it or not, Anthony tells us there are at least two things we can learn from the violence in the book of Esther. 

We get to the climatic moment in the story. Will King Xerxes grant Esther's request? And what will he do about Haman? We find all that out and see that God is a covenant keeper and our rescue. 

We get to what is perhaps the most famous section in the book of Esther. We learn that God works in the world in through all kinds of people, and he has perhaps placed you were you are "for such a time as this". 

Rand Habegger takes us through week 2 of our Esther series. This week we are introduced to Haman. Haman, because of his dislike of Mordecai, puts into motion a plan to eradicate all of the Jewish people. Where is God in such moments of pain? 

Today we start the book of Esther. An amazing story that introduces us to the idea that God moves even when it seems like he's not. We are introduced to some of our main characters today; King Xerxes, Mordecai, and Esther. In today's sermon we find out something about God, and we see something that God is doing with the book of Esther. 

This Easter Sunday we take some time to look at Jesus and Peter's relationship after the resurrection. We watch how shame interacts with Peter's story, and how Jesus interacts with Peter. 

We wrap up our Beloved Community Values series by looking at what it means to be led by the Spirit. We take time and look at four metaphors used in the New Testament to help us understand what our relationship as Christians should be with the Holy Spirit. 

We spend some time looking at what Jesus meant when he told the Pharisees that he thinks they had neglected "Justice" and "Mercy". Then we apply Jesus' words to our current context. The Beloved Community is a community that does justice and shows mercy.

This week we take a look at this idea of "Holistic Mission". We want to be a people that embrace all of the work God has for us, not just some of it. 

We are blessed to get to hear from Pastor Aaron Dailey from Alhambra Beloved Community this week. He gives a fiery message about the importance of the Image of God. He helps us remember to recognize it on others, but also to realize it is part of our very identity as humans. 

We have pastor Juan Chavez share with us this week. He's getting ready to start a church in South Phoenix. He really embodies The Beloved Community value of embracing diversity. 

Week two of our series we look at what it means to be an intentional disciple of Jesus, as well as our calling to make disciples of Jesus.  

We start a new series this week. We are taking time to look at some of our shared church values with "The Beloved Community". We have been working with another church and soon to be church plant to create a new family of Churches called "The Beloved Community". This series will look at the values will share together as a family of churches. Today we look at why that word Beloved, and term Beloved...

This week pastor Kyle takes us through a message on singleness. What is the right way for us as Christians to think through singleness? He brings up two of our church family members; Kailey and Caleb to talk to us more about Christian Singleness. 

We end our series in Luke 15 by taking a look at the older brother. We do this by hearing how Luke 15 would have sounded to the Pharisees that were muttering about Jesus. We go through questions this text asks us the help us hear the message Jesus was trying to speak to the Pharisees. 

This week we zoom in on the father in the parable of the two lost sons. We see that the father has costly love, gracious love, and abundant love. 

We start a new series in Luke 15 today. We will cover the whole chapter over the course of the series, but in particular we are going to zoom in what is famously called "The Parable of the Prodigal Son". Each week we will do a character study of each of the characters in this famous story. This week we see what we can learn from the prodigal son's part of the story. 

We closed up our Longing for our Prophet, Priest, and King series on Christmas Eve, looking at how we all long for a King, and how Jesus is that king. 

Rand takes us through this idea of how we all long for a priest, and how Jesus is the great high priest we actually need and long for. 

This advent we look at our longing for Jesus through the lenses of prophet, priest, and king. In week one of our series we look at how we all long for a truly good prophet that speaks perfect truth. 

We made it! We've gotten to the end of our Revelation series. In Revelation chapter 22 we see John use the word "come" in three different ways. All three ways have things to tell us about the Christian life. 

Revelation 21 is some of the best news in all of scripture. This week we spend time looking at chapter 21 and the significance of the New Jerusalem, and God wiping away every tear. 

This week we get to one of the most debated about sections in the book of Revelation. We look at three of the images from this section; Jesus the Just, the Millennium, and the Lake of Fire. We talk through what God is trying to communicate to us about the end of history through these images. 

Revelation chapter 17 gives us the imagery of a prostitute. Chapter 18 tells us a parable about what happens when God judges Babylon and it falls. The beginning of chapter 19 tells us about the marriage supper of the lamb. We talk about all of it, and apply it to our current context. 

This week pastor Kyle helps see what we need to see from the imagery of the seven bowls of God's wrath. He points to God's mercy and to our calling as believers.
