Redeemer Church of Waterford

Those who have been regenerated by God's Spirit have a new identity: they are dead in Christ and alive in Christ. They also have a new purpose: they live by faith and they live by love.

On this All Saints' Day we consider together what the activity and the realities with which our loved ones in heaven our preoccupied.

Who are the 144,000 in Revelation 7? They are the complete number of the elect known only to God (7:1-8), and the "great multitude, which no man could number" (7:9-17) who have been sealed with their Father's name in their foreheads, washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, and "come out of great tribulation" - a tribulation which has been oppressing them for the last 2,000...

What are the misconceptions people have about Heaven and Hell verses the realities? What do Heaven and Hell reveal about the character of God?

Why do you love God? Many make the mistake of believing that it is their own love for God that causes Him to love them. But something closer to the opposite is actually the case: it is God's love for you that causes you to love him. "We love Him because He first loved us." WHEN did God first love us? The answer lies in the meaning of "foreknown" in Romans 8:29.

What is your greatest personal need? A cure? A financial windfall? Reconciliation of a broken relationship? None of these, and hundreds of other needs, are not our greatest personal need. Your greatest need is a personal confrontation with the Holy Spirit - your need for a radical transformation that makes you a new and radically different person.

What are the evidences that I have truly been born again or regenerated by the work of the Holy Spirit? In reading of Hebrews 6, some make the assumption that verses 4 and 5 are evidences of regeneration when in reality those verses merely point to EXPERIENCES any person - even unbelieving people - can have when under the influence of the gospel. The EVIDENCES of regeneration are actually in verse...

In the first half of the third article of the Nicene Creed we affirm WHO the Holy Spirit is - "the Lord and Giver of life who proceeds from the Father and the Son." In the second half of the third article we affirm WHERE the central place of the activity of the Holy Spirit is: in "one holy catholic apostolic church." The Creed affirms four vital characteristics that define every true assembly of G...

A further consideration of the four characteristics of the church in the Nicene Creed: The Church is One (Unified) The Church is Holy (Unblemished) The Church is Catholic (Universal) The Church is Apostolic (Unerring)

According to Ligonier's 2025 State of Theology Survey, 53% of self-described evangelicals believe the Holy Spirit is "a force." This is not biblical. The Holy Spirit is not a force, or a power, or a feeling. The Holy Spirit is a person whom the Nicene Creed describes as "Lord, and giver of life."

Most Christians do not have a biblical understanding of who the Holy Spirit is. According to Ligonier's 2025 State of Theology Survey, 53% of self-described evangelicals believe the Holy Spirit is "a force." This is not biblical. The Holy Spirit is not a force, or a power, or a feeling. The Holy Spirit is a person whom the Nicene Creed describes as "Lord, and giver of life."

In this message Pastor Paul offers biblical illustrations of how God has used the evil intentions and actions of rebellious human beings to fulfill the eternal counsel of His own will to bring all things together under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

The church in every generation has witnessed the silencing of bold gospel voices in death, yet the eternal God and His eternal word endures. In the last two months God has called to his nearer presence men who have been instruments in His hand for the bold proclamation of His truth: John MacArthur, James Dobson, Charlie Kirk, Voddie Baucham. "Moses my servant is dead." What now? We mourn. We remem...

One of the most neglected aspects of the atoning work of Christ is his ascension into heaven. While we rightly give our attention to his resurrection, just as important to our salvation is his ascension and the work that he is doing even now in his session for us at his Father's right hand.

Anger. Rage. Revenge. All natural human responses to evil. But the Psalmist David offers followers of Jesus a better way.

Dr. Ottavio Palombaro is the author of "From Rome to Reformed: The Confessions of an Italian Ex-Catholic."

The central theme of apostolic preaching is the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead because the central tenet of the Christian faith is the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead.

There are numberless gifts purchased for the believer by the blood of Christ which are bestowed upon us in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead. In this message we consider just three of those gifts: satisfaction, sanctification, and surety.

When the creed rightly declares that our Lord was "crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered, and was buried," we must be careful to understand that the suffering of our Savior is not limited to what he endured for us on the cross.

Though Mary the virgin was the willing human instrument, the conception of the eternal, only-begotten Son in her womb so that He might be made flesh is due only and entirely to the work of the Trinity.

In the Nicene Creed, the phrase "Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven" turns our attention from the person of Christ in relation to His Father as the eternal Son of God, to the work of Christ in relation to us as the Lord Jesus Christ - the eternal Son made flesh. This work of Christ for us takes place in two states of His incarnation in human flesh: His Humiliation and His E...

The most important thing about heaven is that the Lord Jesus Christ is there at the right hand of His Father. This truth only emphasizes the great grace displayed by the Son of God who willing left the glory of heaven to come to earth to save His people.
