Redeemer Weekend Sermons

Jesus commands us during the Sermon on the Mount to not put our faith and motivation in what we can acquire and retain on earth, but to instead place our hope and heart in heaven. Bill Clark challenges us to spend some time thinking through Matthew 6:19-24 and how it changes where we put our treasure.

Giving to the needy, praying and fasting are essential practices in the Christian faith. So much so that Jesus talked about them as a given that we would do them; saying "When" not "If" we do them. And the way we do them matters to God. Adam continues our series by going through how Christ looks at our motives for these spiritual practices. Give, Pray, Fast Sermon on the Mount...

Jesus shared a great deal during the Sermon on the Mount and much of what he shared was incredibly counter-cultural and even radical. High on that list is his command to love our enemies.

Wopsle shares with us How the Teacher Grades in week 3 o...

On the eve of facing the cross, Jesus took special time to kneel and wash the feet of his disciples.

Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 are the summary to his theology of giving. In his mind, giving is simply another aspect of grace. God provides for the needs of His people and blesses those who bless others. Biblical giving is grace-based in that it is to be done with a cheerful spirit. How much should we give? Bill Clark concludes our Unfinished series by reminding us that perhaps the answer...

How people view money is an effective barometer of their spirituality. Money is neither good nor bad in itself; corrupt people can put it to evil uses, while good people can put it to righteous uses. Though it is morally neutral, what people do with their money reflects their internal morality. Adam Barnett continues our series by reminding us that one of the greatest reflections of our trust in G...

In matters of generosity, most of us have seldom, if ever, given out of poverty.

Obedience! This is the ultimate picture that is painted in Luke 9:23-25. If this passage makes you uncomfortable, here is something to keep in mind: God is good. His ways are good. Following Him is good. It is always in our best interest to live the Christian life and follow God. Generosity is one of the truest ways we deny ourselves in the adventure of following Jesus. Adam Barnett continues our...

God’s perfect plans are carried out by imperfect people. We are never "complete" in this life as God continually works in us to refine and sanctify us. This also means that God is always present with us and has promised to finish what He has started. Bill Clark opens up our discussion of what it means to be Unfinished . The Unfinished Work of God Unfinished | Week 1 February 4, 2018 | Bi...
