Redeemer Downtown Messages

This is Redeemer Downtown's live stream 10 a.m. worship service on Sunday, March 15, 2026. In today’s passage from Luke, Jesus is sharing a meal at the home of a Pharisee when a woman, described as a sinner, approaches Him. In a bold and humble act, she washes His feet with her tears and dries them with her hair. Though her actions would have been risky in that setting, Jesus uses the moment to re...

This is Redeemer Downtown's live stream 10 a.m. worship service on Sunday, March 8, 2026. We have all heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words.” This statement is beautifully depicted by Jesus when he is asked by John and his messengers, “Are you the coming one, or should we look for another?” Jesus replies by telling them to report what they have seen and heard, pointing to the healings...

This is Redeemer Downtown's live stream 10 a.m. worship service on Sunday, March 1, 2026. Today’s passage is layered with significant details describing this scene where Jesus comes across a funeral procession and his engagement with the widow and her son. We are told the woman is a widow and her only son has died. Her level of loss is catastrophic, especially in this time period, and yet full of...

This is Redeemer Downtown's live stream 10 a.m. worship service on Sunday, February 22, 2026. In today’s passage, we’re invited into a powerful and personal exchange between Jesus and a centurion (and his servants), a moment that left Jesus amazed at the centurion’s faith. A faith that was confident, humble, and trusting, that it moved the heart of Jesus. At first glance, this story might stir som...

This is Redeemer Downtown's live stream 10 a.m. worship service on Sunday, February 15, 2026. As we continue in our series, Encountering Jesus, we come to a beautiful moment where Jesus both teaches and lives out something wonderfully new. He invites those around Him to see beyond the familiar and lift their eyes to a bigger picture of grace, to see what God is doing. He spoke in parables about ga...

This morning’s passage beautifully reveals the heart of Jesus. He doesn’t only invite us to call Him Lord; He invites us into friendship. Jesus calls ordinary, everyday people to follow Him, to leave their own way behind, and in that calling, we find relationship, welcome, and fellowship. On the very same day Levi responds, the story unfolds into a celebration where everyone is invited to the tabl...

Today’s passage invites us to an awareness of our human need at deeper levels not just to what we perceive on the surface but what will both satisfy and nourish us in mind, body, and soul. The Lord sees far beyond what we comprehend and is intentional in his care for our whole being beginning with fulfilling the need for a relationship with him and beyond. Let’s lean in together and discover more...

As we continue our sermon series, Encountering Jesus, we dive deeper into the heart of Jesus and His forgiveness as it relates to the Mosaic Law. Today, we’ll explore how sin separates us from God and from one another and the beautiful truth that Jesus meets us in our brokenness. As the true temple and the perfect sacrifice, He opens the way for us to be welcomed back, restored in our relationship...

As we dive deeper into our series Encountering Jesus, we step into a powerful moment where Jesus meets Simon (and James and John!) right in the middle of their work in Luke 5. Though they were experienced fishermen, Jesus reshapes their understanding of him and invites them into something far greater than they imagined. In that moment, Simon in particular, begins to see both who Jesus truly is and...

As we continue in our series of Encountering Jesus, we’ll reflect this week on what mattered to Him. We’ll look at how Jesus spoke with authority, acted with compassion when healing the sick, and delivered people from unclean spirits all while choosing humility over fame. Though He could have sought recognition and power, Jesus chose a different path—the way of the cross.

As we begin 2026, we’re excited to start a new sermon series, Encountering Jesus. In the Gospels, people were often surprised by Jesus—his teaching, miracles, and compassion were unlike anything they expected. Today, many assume they already know him or settle for a familiar, comfortable version. But in Luke chapters 4–7, we’re invited into real encounters with Jesus that reveal who he truly is: c...

This message is from our Questioning Christianity Sunday: How Can We Be Truly Happy? We took a pause from our current sermon series to talk about something we all long for, a happy life. In our culture, happiness often feels tied to hustle, achievement, and constant striving. Jesus however invites us to something different- that of being happy through a relationship with him that enables us to exp...
