Redemption Life Fellowship

Life is full of things that feel secure until they are not: work changes, health shifts, relationships fracture, and plans unravel. Peter writes to Christians living as elect exiles under real pressure, but before he tells them what to do, he overwhelms them with what God has already done. Christianity begins not with our faithfulness to God, but with God’s faithfulness to us. According to God’s g...

Psalm 67 teaches us that God’s favor and blessing are never meant to stop with us. As God’s gracious face shines on His people, His glory becomes visible through them so that His saving power is known and all peoples are drawn to praise Him. Sermon Overview Psalm 67 begins as a prayer for God’s grace, blessing, and shining face: “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon...

Psalm 1 asks a deeply personal question: what are you allowing to shape the course of your life? The psalm contrasts the way of the righteous with the way of the wicked, showing that a flourishing life is not built on self-direction or the changing counsel of the world, but on delighting in and meditating on God’s instruction. The righteous person is not someone who lives flawlessly. Rather, their...

Psalm 86 is David’s level-ten prayer: a cry from a place of distress, need, opposition, and deep dependence. Rather than hiding his weakness or pretending he can manage, David brings his whole soul honestly before the God who hears, forgives, loves, delivers, helps, and comforts. The sermon’s central truth is simple: encountering God’s steadfast love shapes our prayer in desperate places. David’s...

Calm for the Restless Heart | Psalm 131 Sermon Overview Psalm 131 is a brief but profound psalm for people whose souls have grown loud with striving, comparison, fear, and the burden of trying to manage life beyond their limits. David does not focus on circumstances or crises; he brings us to the posture of the heart, the direction of the eyes, the reach of ambition, and the quieting of the soul....

Psalm 23 | Lord Shape My Trust | Sam Jones

Psalm 107 calls God’s redeemed people to give thanks because His steadfast love endures forever. Through the stories of wanderers, prisoners, the sick, and storm-tossed travelers, this sermon shows that God meets us in every kind of need with loyal love, rescue, and grace.

Sing! Psalm 96 calls the whole earth to sing because the Lord alone has true glory, weight, and worth. This sermon shows that worship is not sentimental positivity but a life-reorienting response to the God who made all things, exposes our idols, and will one day set the world right in righteousness and faithfulness.

Continuing the series  Psalms That Shape Us: Encountering God Shapes Ordinary Life , this sermon shows how Psalm 139 trains our hearts to live fully known and fully open before God, rather than hiding in fear or self-protection. The big idea is that to be fully loved is to be at home with God, where we are safe to be fully known, fully open, and led in the way everlasting, so that “Search me, O Go...

Lord, Shape My Remembrance | Psalm 103 | Sam Jones

This sermon closes Ecclesiastes by contrasting two fundamentally different ways of living: one with self at the center, and one shaped by the steadfast love and faithfulness of God. The message presses against the cultural assumption that personal autonomy is the highest authority and instead argues that life finds meaning only when we live before God with reverence, surrender, and trust. Drawing...

Ecclesiastes 12 calls us to live every season of life in light of our Creator, remembering Him early, facing aging honestly, and letting the reality of death drive us not to despair but to wise, Christ-centered dependence.

Ecclesiastes 10 and 11 teach us to hold the tensions of life with maturity: to rejoice in the days God gives, to recognize that dark days are real, to walk wisely before Him, and to let the light of Christ free us from regret-filled living.

Living This One Life In The Light Of The Son

Wisdom Important but Limited, So Have Fun| Ecclesiastes 8 | David Whitaker

Don't Be Too Good Too Evil | Ecclesiastes 7:15-29 | David Whitaker

Ecclesiastes 7:1–14 Considering God's Work Ecclesiastes 7 teaches us how to live in the fog by considering the work of God, seeing the end, sitting in sorrow, and receiving both prosperous and painful days from the Father's hand in the light of the Son. This sermon opens with a familiar image of detours and rerouting, then shows that what feels crooked and frustrating in life is not outsid...

“Seeing Clearly with Kingdom Clarity” walks through Ecclesiastes 5:8–6:12 and shows how life “under the sun” is a vapor that only makes sense in the light of the Son—Jesus Christ. In a world of injustice, restless wealth, anxiety, and discontent, this message invites you to stop just reacting to the fog and instead receive your days, work, and resources as gifts from God’s hand as He keeps your he...

This sermon begins with a searching question: how do you view God? That question shapes how we worship, how we see ourselves, and how we respond when our own plans fall apart. In Ecclesiastes 5:1–7, Solomon warns that worship becomes distorted when we rush into God’s presence, full of words, vows, and self-made agendas, rather than coming humbly to listen. The central burden of the message is simp...

Ecclesiastes 4 exposes the ache of life in a broken world—oppression, striving, loneliness, and fading recognition— while pointing to the gift of companionship and the greater hope found inJesus Christ.

When Justice Fails and Death Wins… What Now? | Ecclesiastes 3:16-22 | Derek Harm

Feeling stuck in a season you cannot escape—whether in work, marriage, parenting, or the constant rat race? This message from Ecclesiastes 3:1–15 explores how time and toil expose our limits and our longing for eternity, not to crush us but to free us. Instead of using our schedules, careers, and relationships as tools to secure happiness or control outcomes, we learn to receive them as gifts from...

In this opening message of the Ecclesiastes series at Redemption Life Fellowship, we explore Ecclesiastes 1:1–11 under the title “This Can’t Be All There Is,” tracing how life “under the sun” exposes the emptiness of work, progress, pleasure, and even human legacy when they are disconnected from God. The sermon shows that apart from the Lord, our days can feel like motion without meaning—busy, rep...

In this Easter message from Redemption Life Fellowship, we trace Mark 14:12–16:8 under the title “He Went Before You,” following Jesus from the Passover table to Gethsemane, through His unjust trial and crucifixion, and finally to the empty tomb. The sermon highlights how Jesus declares Himself the true Passover Lamb, embraces the cup of God’s wrath in our place, endures twisted justice and abando...
