Redeemer Winston Salem

November 1, 2026 - (Revelation 13:11-18) A second beast rises from the land. It looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon. Unlike the first beast, whose power is openly coercive, the second beast works through persuasion, spectacle, religious language, propaganda, and deception. Later Revelation calls this creature the false prophet because its task is to persuade the world to worship beastly pow...

October 25, 2026 - (Revelation 13:1-10) The dragon stands upon the shore and summons a beast from the sea. The beast combines the terrifying features of the empires in Daniel’s visions, as though every previous form of imperial violence has been gathered into one creature. The beast receives authority from the dragon. It imitates the Lamb with what appears to be a mortal wound followed by a counte...

October 18, 2026 - (Revelation 12) A woman gives birth, a dragon waits to devour the child, and war breaks out in heaven. Revelation unveils the spiritual conflict behind the visible conflicts of history. The dragon cannot destroy the Messiah, so he turns his rage upon the Messiah’s people. Yet the dragon has already been thrown down. His accusations do not determine the verdict of heaven. The sai...

October 4, 2026 - The temple is measured, the holy city is trampled, and two witnesses prophesy in the pattern of Moses and Elijah. They represent the church in its prophetic vocation. The witnesses do not possess conventional power. They testify, suffer, die, and appear defeated. Babylon celebrates over their bodies. Yet God raises them. The church’s apparent vulnerability is not evidence of its...

September 27, 2026 - John receives a scroll and is commanded not merely to read it but to eat it. God’s word is sweet because it announces the reign and renewal of God. It is bitter because bearing that word means confronting evil, suffering with the world, and speaking truths people may resist. The prophet cannot remain outside the message as an observer. The word must enter his body. Christian w...

This episode reviews the sermon "Earthbound" on Sept. 20, 2026 from our sermon series "Awaiting the King".

September 20, 2026 - The trumpet judgments intensify, and destructive powers emerge from the abyss. The imagery is nightmarish because idolatry is nightmarish. What human beings worship eventually begins to deform and consume them. The demonic armies promise power but produce torment. Humanity’s idols—violence, wealth, control, and false worship—cannot see, hear, walk, or give life. Those who make...

September 13, 2026 - When the seventh seal opens, heaven falls silent. The silence creates space for the prayers of the saints. Their prayers rise with incense before God and are then thrown back toward the earth. What looked like weak, unheard prayer participates in the movement of heaven. The trumpets echo the plagues of Egypt and warn creation’s oppressors. The judgments are partial rather than...

September 6, 2026 - Revelation 6 asks who can stand. Revelation 7 answers: those sealed by God and sheltered by the Lamb. John hears the numbered tribes of Israel and then sees an innumerable multitude from every nation. The people of God are both a divinely ordered army and a worshiping multicultural multitude. Their white robes have been washed in the blood of the Lamb—a paradox of cleansing thr...

This episode reviews the sermon "When the World Comes Apart" on August 30, 2026 from our sermon series "Awaiting the King".

August 30, 2026 - The Lamb opens the seals, and conquest, war, scarcity, death, persecution, and cosmic upheaval appear. These are not exotic realities reserved for one final generation. They are the recurring realities of life in the present age. The four horsemen expose the forces that human rebellion releases into the world. Political conquest creates war. War produces scarcity. Scarcity and in...

This episode reviews the sermon "Is Anyone Worthy" on August 23, 2026 from our sermon series "Awaiting the King".

August 23, 2026 - A sealed scroll contains God’s purpose for creation, but no one is worthy to open it. John weeps because history appears locked: the world is full of suffering, yet no one can bring God’s purposes to completion. Then John hears that the Lion has conquered. He turns and sees a Lamb standing as though slaughtered. Jesus is worthy not because he possesses the greatest capacity for c...

August 16, 2026  - John is invited through an open door and immediately sees a throne. Before Revelation shows the church the convulsions of history, it establishes the center of history. The throne is surrounded by beauty, worship, covenant signs, living creatures, and representatives of the people of God. Everything around the throne is alive with praise. The elders repeatedly surrender their cr...

August 9, 2026 - God’s Posture of Blessing (Numbers 6:22-27) from guest preacher Ben Tietje

August 2, 2026 - Laodicea is wealthy, comfortable, successful, and blind to its need. They say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” but Jesus says they are poor, blind, naked, and pitiable. Their lukewarmness is not mere spiritual boredom; it is self-sufficiency. They think they are hosting Jesus, but he is outside knocking. The invitation is to open the door, not by getting cleaned...

This episode reviews the sermon "Love Sustained" on July 26, 2026 from our sermon series "First Love".

July 26, 2026 - Philadelphia is weak but faithful. They have little power, but they have kept Jesus’ word and have not denied his name. This sermon gives the series a needed word of encouragement: Jesus is not looking for impressive strength, but enduring faithfulness. He places before them an open door that no one can shut, and he promises permanence, belonging, and a secure name. Love is sustain...

July 19, 2026 - Sardis has a reputation for being alive, but Jesus says they are dead. This is the frightening possibility of spiritual self-deception: a church can look active, successful, and impressive while lacking true life. Their works are incomplete. Their attention has drifted. Their life has become hollow. Jesus calls them to wake up, strengthen what remains, remember what they received,...

July 12, 2026 - Thyatira is a church of love, faith, service, and endurance, but it has tolerated a voice that corrupts love from within. This sermon should explore the danger of truthless love, disordered desire, and false intimacy. The issue is not merely that the church is “too tolerant,” but that it has allowed something destructive to disciple its imagination, worship, and body. Jesus, whose...

July 5, 2026 - Pergamum lives where Satan’s throne is. The church has held fast to Jesus’ name, even under persecution, but compromise has taken root within. Like Balaam, false teaching has placed stumbling blocks before God’s people. The church is being bewitched by the promises of empire, politics, patriotism, culture, sex, and the market. Jesus comes with the sharp sword of his mouth to expose...

June 28, 2026 -- Smyrna is suffering. They are poor, slandered, threatened, and under crushing pressure. Yet Jesus offers no correction to this church. He tells them that he knows their tribulation, that their suffering is not hidden from him, and that death will not have the final word. The call is not escape, but faithfulness. In Smyrna, love is tested by suffering, fear, and loss but Jesus, the...

June 21, 2026 -- The church in Ephesus is active, discerning, hardworking, and committed to truth. They test false teaching. They endure. They have not grown weary. And yet Jesus says they have abandoned their first love. This sermon names the danger of faithfulness without affection, truth without love, and church life that becomes vinegar instead of joy. Jesus calls his church to remember, repen...
