Redeemer Life Church

Guest speaker: Richard Wilson. John 13:1–17 challenges the church to receive Christ’s self-giving love before attempting to imitate it, and to recognize that redeemed community is shaped not by visibility or control, but by willingness to serve for the sake of others. Jesus’ servant posture serves as an example for the church to embody a love that is deliberate, costly, and faithful. 

Christmas can feel like an interruption: busy schedules, unexpected plans, and added stress. In the middle of all the noise, it’s easy to miss the meaning of Christmas altogether. But the first Christmas wasn’t an interruption at all; it was an invitation. Join us this Sunday as we look at Luke 2 and see how God stepped into ordinary life to invite ordinary people into His extraordinary story, and...

Have you ever felt stuck spiritually, like you believe in Jesus, but something in you knows there has to be more? Most of us have had seasons where our faith feels flat or stalled. In John 12:37–50, Jesus’ final public words before the cross remind us that God never meant for our faith to stay small. He doesn’t call us to simply believe and stay the same. He invites us into a vibrant, living faith...

Have you ever heard a phrase so often that you start saying it without really thinking about what it means? “Glorify God” is one of those phrases. We sing it, pray it, and nod along when others say it, yet many of us quietly wonder, what does it actually mean to glorify God? In John 12:20–36, Jesus turns our ideas of glory upside down and reveals a way of life that is deeper, richer, and more tran...

After Jesus' dinner in Bethany, the crowd hears he is coming to Jerusalem. They are anticipating Jesus coming in power and authority but instead see him riding the foal of a donkey. Jesus comes as a king, but not the king they were hoping for. In our lives, we also desire greatness, but Jesus calls us to a life of humility and service. * our apologies, the recording is missing the end of this...

In John 12, just days before the cross, Mary offers an act of devotion so striking that Jesus says it will be remembered wherever the gospel is told. Her simple, extravagant gesture invites us to rethink what worship really is and how we express our love for God.

This Sunday, we turn to John 11:38–47, where Jesus confronts the finality of death at the four-day-old grave of Lazarus. The raising of Lazarus serves as the greatest verifiable miracle of Jesus’ public ministry, powerfully confirming His declaration, "I am the resurrection and the life." Join us as we explore how the resurrection of Lazarus demands an immediate and decisive response fro...

Grief is something we all experience, yet so often we struggle to understand it. We don’t always know how to face our pain, process our loss, or make sense of what feels broken. But in John 11, we see a Savior who steps right into the middle of our heartbreak. Join us as we discover what it means to grieve well and find hope in the midst of loss.

We all know what it feels like to walk through hardship, those seasons when life hurts, prayers seem unanswered, and God feels silent. In those moments we begin to wonder, where is God? Does He see me? Does He care? John 11:1–16 reminds us that God’s love doesn’t always move at our pace and His silence doesn’t mean His absence.

Does God still speak, and if so, how can we hear Him? In a world full of noise, confusion, and competing voices, recognizing the voice of God can feel difficult or even impossible. Hearing God isn’t about spiritual skill or supernatural experiences, it’s about relationship. If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I hear God?”, this message is for you. 

In John 10:1-22, we explore Jesus’ declarations as the legitimate shepherd, as the way through which salvation is found, and as the Good Shepherd who sacrificially loves and protects His flock. Jesus challenges His listeners to recognize Him as the sole source of abundant life, sparking both division and curiosity among those who hear His provocative claims. 

Have you ever thought you were seeing something clearly, only to find out you were way off? In John 9, Jesus reminds us that the greatest blindness isn’t physical, but spiritual. Join us as we explore what it means to move from cloudy vision to clear sight and discover how Jesus can open our eyes to see Him as He truly is.

What would you do if someone stood up in front of a crowd and claimed to hold the power over life and death? In John 8:48-59, Jesus’ bold words left His audience divided: some picked up stones to silence Him, while others found hope and joy in His promises. This Sunday we’ll explore these stunning claims of Jesus and why they still matter for us today.

Speaker: Mike Mason In John Chapter 9, Jesus heals a man born blind. As we meditate on this passage we need to examine our own spiritual blindness. Do we understand fully that Jesus is the light? Please join us as we encouraged to see more clearly Jesus, the light of the world. 

We all have a past, mistakes we regret, labels we’ve carried, or even successes we cling to. But what happens when the past keeps holding us back from the life God is calling us into? In The Bad Guys 2, the characters wrestle with leaving their old lives behind while trying to step into something new. The apostle Paul speaks to that same struggle in Philippians 3, reminding us that real change com...

Our world often tells us it’s found in chasing pleasure, comfort, or success, but in Ephesians 5:1-20, we see that true fullness is found not in living for ourselves but in walking with God each day. To bring this to life, we’ll draw on the film Groundhog Day, where one man discovers that true joy doesn’t come from living for himself, but in serving others.

Speaker: Abraham Joe Thomas We continue our series "God on Film." with our second film, "The Man called Otto". In the movie, Otto feels like a stranger in a world that has moved on without him, grappling with silence and despair after losing his wife. Like the Psalmist in Psalm 39, Otto is a sojourner in pain, waiting for something more, and his initial response to suffering is...

This Sunday we begin a new series called "God on Film” with Fantastic Four: First Steps . In the movie, as the team faces cosmic threats, their true strength comes not from their powers, but from their love and commitment to one another as a family. From creation to Christ, the Bible tells of how God designed family to be a place of belonging, love, and discipleship. Join us as we discover wh...

Many people say they follow Jesus, but how do you know if that’s true? Is believing in Him enough, or is there something more? In John 8:31–47, Jesus challenges those who thought they knew Him, showing that faith is more than belief, it’s a commitment to follow Him and live by His truth.

Speaker: Clayton Chan What does it really mean to believe in Jesus, and why does it matter right now? In John 8:21-30, Jesus gives a sobering reminder that belief in Him isn’t something we can put off or take lightly. Join us this week as we take a serious and hope-filled look at what it means to place your faith in Jesus, not someday, but today.

We’ve all had moments we’re not proud of, moments of failure, regret, or shame that make us wonder how God sees us. Does He turn away? Does He give up on us? In John 8:1-11, we see a powerful picture of how Jesus responds to people at their lowest.
