Redeemer Presbyterian Church

On Sunday, July 28 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, Rev. David Donovan from our sister church in West Ashley preached for us from Genesis 3. In this chapter of Genesis we see sin enter the world, and as Genesis continues sin increases--within individuals, marriage, the family, and the world. What hope do we have? As sin increases, we see grace abounding (Romans 5:20).

When we make this re...

That we'd trust him in the silences. We don't know what Jesus is accomplishing in the silences of our lives, so we must keep his Resurrection ever before us. That when Jesus does speak, our future puts our present in the proper perspective. That a vision of the Resurrection makes us more like Jesus. When our eyes are on the Resurrected Jesus, we become more like him.

For Palm Sunday at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor continued our Matthew sermon series in Matthew 6:9-13. If what we think we need to be content is not what the Lord says we need, then we must change our list. We must find contentment in what the Lord has for us.
