Pastor Tim offers a devotion based on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7:1-2. It is titled, "The Measure You Use."

We crave control. We believe that if we just had more power over our lives—our circumstances, our future, even other people—then things would be better. This is one of Satan’s oldest lies: "Life Will Be Better if You Seize More Control." But Jesus shows us a different way by rejecting the devil’s temptation to take power for himself and humbly surrendering to the Father's will. This Independence D...

Pastor Tim offers a devotion titled, "Thoughts for the 4th of July: Are You Chasing the American Dream?" It is based on 1 Timothy 6:6.

Discontentment whispers constantly: "You Need and Deserve More." This lie fuels envy, anxiety, and ingratitude, making us believe that God’s provision is not enough. Yet we are reminded that God’s generosity is not about what we deserve but about his grace. Join us as we expose the enemy’s deception and find freedom in the truth that we already have everything we need in Christ.

We live in a world that measures worth by success, status, and achievement. But what if our deepest value isn’t earned? Satan whispers the lie: "Your Value is Based on Your Performance." Yet, Scripture tells a different story. In David’s kindness to Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9) and Jesus’ restoration of Peter (John 21), we see the heart of God—a love that values us not for what we do but for who we a...

Pastor Tim offers a devotion titled, "The Evil One is Messing with You." It is based on 1 Peter 5:8, John 8:44, and Ephesians 6:12.

Jesus promised that his followers would not be left alone but would receive the Spirit to guide, strengthen, and empower them for mission. Pentecost reveals both the purpose and power of the Spirit. As we reflect on that first Pentecost in Acts 2:1...

Pastor Tim Runtsch offers a devotion about life together in community based on Colossians 4:7-18. It is titled, "More Than Footnotes: People Matter."

In Colossians 3:12-17 we learn about the new clothes that we have in Christ… compassion, kindness, humility… and above all, love. But how exactly do we “wear” these new clothes? Today, we’ll be clothed in the peace and unity that flow from being rooted in Christ. Join us for this message titled, “Fresh Clothes.”

Pastor Tim offers a devotion titled, "Family Matters" about how we can have Christ-centered and cross-shaped families. The devotion is based on Colossians 3:18-21.

Paul’s words in Colossians 3:1-2 call us to a radical shift in perspective: “Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above… Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” But what does it truly mean to live with a heavenly mindset? This passage invites us to embrace our new identity in Christ—living as those transformed by the power of the resurrection. As we con...

What guards us from life’s storms? Today, we’ll find shelter in the Good Shepherd whose fullness overcomes every threat. Join us as we continue our journey through the New Testament book of Colossians with a message t...

As we work our way through the biblical letter to the Colossians, join us for a message titled,...

Join us this Easter Sunday at Redeemer for a powerful celebration of Jesus’ victory over death.

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday, the crowds expected a triumphant conqueror—someone to overthrow their oppressors and exact revenge. But instead of swords and vengeance, Jesus brought a kingdom of humility and sacrifice. He came not to pay back but to give himself up, fulfilling his radical call to “turn the other cheek.” As we journey from the palm-strewn road to Golgotha...
