Redeemer Presbyterian Church

In his sermon on Deuteronomy 30:1-10, Pastor Craig emphasizes that there are some truths that are so pervasive in Scripture, some truths that are so important to us and our lives as Christians, that we must never take our eyes off of them. Deut. 30:1-10 exemplifies one such truth—a truth that is not only vital to our lives and our church, but also to the lives of those around us and our community....

In Deuteronomy 30:1-10 as Moses is speaking to Israelites, he is letting them know three things about God and their future in the Promised Land. One, God knows all and is always in control. Two, God will always fulfill his promises, whether they are blessings or curses. Three, God desires his people to follow him with their whole hearts and minds. As Pastor Craig taught us on Sunday, January 15, G...

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, we heard the Word preached by Rev. Philip Pinckney. He preached from II Peter 1:1-4 focusing on the promises to believers contained in those verses, as he cheered us on and encouraged us to continue running the race.

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, for our fourth Sunday in Advent on December 18, 2016, our senior pastor continued in Matthew's Gospel. We examined how God interrupted Joseph's narrative of his life: God gave him a vision and told him that his betrothed wife would conceive of the Holy Spirit and give birth to a son. God enlarged Joseph's narrative, and he and Mary participated wi...

On December 11, 2016, our senior pastor preached from Matthew 1:18-25 where we see that Jesus was not only 100% human but also 100% divine. Matthew confirms these facts to his readers with his double genesis: Jesus' human story beginning in verse 1 and his divine story beginning in verse 18.

Our Advent 2016 series began at the end of November and continued this past Sunday, December 4 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC. Senior pastor Craig Bailey continued in Matthew 1 focusing on the genealogy of Jesus this week. We find four women mentioned in the genealogy, which would have surprised Matthew's original audience. Not only were these women mentioned as part of Jesus' g...

Our senior pastor begins his Advent 2016 series looking at Matthew's account of Jesus' birth. Matthew's account highlights Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.

Our senior pastor continued in Deuteronomy 29 this past Sunday, November 20 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, as we looked at the commitment to the covenant that God requires of us. Both publicly and privately, we should seek to honor God--not living lives of "spiritual schizophrenia" as "nominal Christians." What do we do when no one will know? We should seek to have truth in our...

This past Sunday, November 13 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, we looked into God’s Holy Word in Deuteronomy 29:16-18 and heard what Moses told the Israelites about the importance of community. Just as they were poised to enter the Promised Land on the plains of Moab, Moses not only felt it important to instruct about community but also about accountability to each other individu...

From our passage on Sunday, November 6 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, we see Moses give the most inclusive list of the covenant community anywhere in the Bible. Deuteronomy 29:9-15 includes high officials, lowly servants, internationals, and others who are all standing together on the plains of Moab about to enter the Promised Land. God's Family is a mosaic with lots of colors...

On October 30, 2016, at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, guest preacher Shawn Maze led us through a Gospel message nearly 500 years after the Protestant Reformation. He reminded us we are called to celebrate not only the doctrine of grace, but also Jesus, the dispenser of grace. The passage of John 8:1-11 draws our focus to Jesus, the original reformer, and his interaction with a wo...

On Sunday, October 23 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor continued in Deuteronomy 29 with his latest sermon series. We looked specifically at why God's People were sitting on the plains of Moab and not already enjoying the Promised Land. Though they had seen God overcome every obstacle--slavery in Egypt, impassable Red Sea, impending army, hunger and thirst in the...

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, we rejoiced to be back together this past Sunday, October 16 after Hurricane Matthew kept us from gathering the Sunday prior. Our senior pastor preached from Deuteronomy 29:1-15, and we see Moses renewing the covenant with the people--the same covenant and same material we've seen in various other chapters throughout Deuteronomy. Why is Moses repe...

The phrase "that really offends me" begins many arguments and disagreements in our sensitive culture, yet we see God's unfiltered truth in Deuteronomy 28 as he outlines the curses for disobedience to his commands. Our senior pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, on Sunday, October 2 showed us how God's stark and visual message of the consequences of disobedience works for our g...

On Sunday, September 25 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, we continued our Deuteronomy sermon series as we focused on the altar that God had his people build in Deuteronomy 27:1-8. Our senior pastor explained how God is for his people; he wants them to thrive and flourish. This truth is demonstrated in the presence and picture of the altar. The altar, made of stones that won't was...

Sunday, September 18, 2016 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, we opened our Bibles to Deuteronomy 27: 1-8 to enter a story about stones and an altar and we were led to ponder the nature of God. In this passage, Moses offers instruction to the people of Israel on how they should set up the law on large stones and build an altar to the Lord when they cross into the Promised Land. We...

After a few months' hiatus, we returned to Deuteronomy this past Sunday, September 11 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC. Just as God gave the Promised Land to the people of Israel, so he's given us our space here in downtown. We are here so God can through us bless the city of Charleston. Deuteronomy 27 begins the fourth section of this book that confirms the covenant that God make...

This Labor Day weekend, September 4, 2016, Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC welcomed Rev. Philip Pickney to the pulpit. As we remembered recent lessons on The Kingdom of Heaven, Rev. Pickney led us through the great hall of faith in Hebrews 11-12 to paint a picture of The Kingdom revealed. Reminders of God's faithfulness to broken sinners beckon us to lay aside the weights of this wo...

Jesus does much storytelling during his life in ministry as we've seen in Matthew 13 over the last few weeks at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC. In Matthew 13:10-17 we see Jesus tell his disciples that he's given to them the secrets of the Kingdom when they ask him why he speaks to the people in parables. Like the disciples, the secrets to the Kingdom have been given to us, which is...

In this week’s sermon, Jesus the master storyteller, compares the Kingdom of Heaven to yeast that works its way through a batch of dough. Although hidden in the dough, the tiny yeast has a profound effect in transforming the nature of the entire batch. While last week’s sermon on the Parable of the Mustard Seed emphasized the growth of the Kingdom of Heaven, this week’s sermon focused on the fact...

In scripture, God describes what the world is supposed to look like, but our current state is far from the described perfection. How are we, as Christians, to view the brokenness in the world and how should we then act? Senior Pastor Craig Bailey at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, in Charleston, SC, answers these question through his exposition on Acts 3:1-10. First, we are to be prepared to give ho...
