Redeemer's Fellowship

Why does heaven celebrate when one sinner repents? What do the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son have in common? And how do these stories shape the way we love people who are far from God? In this message from Luke 15:1–32, Pastor Don examines Jesus' three parables of the lost to reveal the Father's relentless love for every person. Some are painfully aware of their need for...

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? Why does He tell the crowds to count the cost before becoming His disciples? And how can a passage that seems to demand everything ultimately point us to the grace of the gospel? In this message from Luke 14:25–33, Pastor Caleb explores Jesus' challenging call to wholehearted discipleship, the danger of settling for a comfortable or convenient faith, a...

What does it reveal about the heart of God that He keeps extending the invitation? Why does Jesus tell a story about a banquet filled with unexpected guests? And what does it mean for a church to say, "There is still room"? In this message from Luke 14:15-24, Pastor Caleb revisits the passage that helped shape Redeemer's Extend the Table vision, exploring God's desire for His hou...

Tragedy has a way of making us ask hard questions. Why do bad things happen? Is suffering God's punishment? And what does someone else's loss have to do with us? In this message from Luke 13:1-9, Pastor Christie explores Jesus' surprising response to two heartbreaking current events, what repentance really means, why suffering isn't a reliable measure of God's favor or judgment...

Jesus never promised that following Him would be easy — in fact, He warned it could divide the very people closest to us. In this message from Luke 12:49-53, Pastor Billy explores what to expect when some say yes to the Gospel, and others say no, why that division happens, and how to walk through it with wisdom, grace, and a secure identity in Christ. If you've ever experienced rejection, conf...

Are you packing your life for the right destination? In this message from Luke 12, Pastor Caleb Stevens explores three of the biggest struggles we all face: fear, possessions, and anxiety. Through Jesus' teaching, we're challenged to examine what we're carrying through life and whether those things are helping us prepare for eternity—or weighing us down. Jesus reminds us that: The fear...

In Luke 11:29-44, Jesus confronts a crowd that keeps demanding more signs while ignoring the truth already standing right in front of them. The issue wasn’t a lack of evidence — it was distorted spiritual vision. This message explores what spiritual blindness really looks like, how distractions and outward appearances can keep us from seeing clearly, and why Jesus repeatedly calls us to “open our...

In Luke 11, Jesus casts out a demon and reveals a powerful spiritual reality: there is a kingdom of darkness… but there is also a stronger King. In this message, we explore:• Why Jesus called Satan the “strong man”• What it means that Jesus is the “stronger man”• Why evil exists in the world• Why God created Lucifer knowing he would rebel• Free will, suffering, redemption, and trusting God in diff...

In one of Jesus’ most famous parables, a wounded man is ignored by the religious elite and rescued by the least expected person imaginable — a Samaritan. This week, we explore Luke 10 and discover that the story of the Good Samaritan is about far more than simply “being nice.” Jesus challenges our definitions of neighbor, exposes the limits of religious self-righteousness, and ultimately reveals H...

What should bring you the most joy as a follower of Jesus? In Luke 10, the disciples return from ministry fired up—celebrating that even demons obey them in Jesus’ name. But instead of affirming their excitement, Jesus redirects it in a surprising way. Your greatest joy isn’t found in what you do for God…but in what God has already done for you.

What if the moment we’re living in right now is a spiritual harvest? In this message from Luke 10:1–2, we explore Jesus’ call to His followers: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” As culture shifts and a generation searches for identity, purpose, and belonging, God is opening doors for the gospel in powerful ways—from college campuses to communities around the world.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In Luke 9:51–62, we see three different people respond to Jesus’ call—and in each interaction, He exposes something that can hold us back. Comfort. Delay. And a lingering attachment to our old life. Jesus isn’t just looking for good intentions or “someday” obedience. He calls us to move with Him—right now, with full surrender. In this message, we walk thro...

This week at Redeemer’s Fellowship, we continue our journey through Luke 9 and encounter a powerful contrast between curiosity and true faith. Looking at Herod the Tetrarch, we see someone who wanted to see Jesus—but for all the wrong reasons. He was searching for a spectacle, not a Savior. From his story, we’re challenged with a simple but weighty truth:Don’t seek Jesus for what He can give—seek...

In this powerful Easter message, we walk through Gospel of Luke chapter 24 and the events leading up to the resurrection of Jesus. From the injustice of six rushed trials to the brutality of the cross, and finally to the empty tomb—this isn’t just a story. It’s history with eternal implications. Luke, a detailed historian and physician, carefully investigated eyewitness accounts to show us what re...

In this message, we walk through Matthew 20–21 to uncover a powerful truth: Jesus wasn’t caught up in the moment—He was completely in control of it. From two blind men boldly calling Him “Son of David” to His intentional entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, every detail reveals who He truly is—the promised King. But He didn’t come the way people expected.

What do you do when God doesn’t move as quickly as you need Him to? In Luke 8, two desperate stories unfold at the same time—a father racing to save his dying daughter and a woman who has suffered for 12 years. One needs a miracle right now. The other has been waiting a lifetime. And in the middle of it all… Jesus stops. What feels like a delay to us is never a mistake to Him.

Why do people hear the same message about Jesus but respond in completely different ways? In this message from Luke 8, we explore one of Jesus’ most famous teachings: The Parable of the Sower. Jesus tells a simple farming story about seed falling on four different kinds of soil—but beneath the surface is a powerful truth about the human heart. Some hearts are hardened. Some are shallow. Some are d...

What happens when grace collides with legalism? In Luke 7:36–50, Jesus is invited to dinner at the home of a Pharisee named Simon. During the meal, an unexpected guest enters—a woman known in the city as a sinner. With tears, perfume, and humble worship, she pours out her heart at Jesus’ feet. While Simon silently judges, Jesus tells a powerful parable about two debtors—revealing a truth that stil...

This week, we explored the powerful story of the Roman centurion whose servant was healed—remotely—by Jesus. This Gentile military officer understood something profound about authority and trust. His simple, bold belief caused Jesus to marvel and declare:“Not even in Israel have I found such faith.”So what is biblical faith really? Is it positive thinking? Manifesting your dream life? Just hoping...

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Judge not…”?In this message from Gospel of Luke chapter 6, we unpack one of the most quoted—and most misunderstood—passages in the entire Bible. Is Jesus telling us to never judge anyone for anything? Or is there something deeper going on? As Redeemer’s continues the Extend the Table expansion update (with a 900-seat auditorium on the way!), we dive into t...

What if the rest your soul is craving isn’t found in a vacation… but in Jesus? In Luke 6:1–11, we see two powerful moments where Jesus challenges the religious leaders’ understanding of the Sabbath. When His disciples pick grain and when He heals a man with a withered hand, Jesus reveals something deeper: the Sabbath was never meant to be a rigid rule — it was meant to be a gift. We live in a worl...

What happens when Jesus doesn’t meet our expectations? In this message from Luke 5:29–35, we see Jesus collide head-on with religious assumptions as He shares a table with tax collectors and sinners. The Pharisees respond with questions and comparisons, but Jesus responds with grace, truth, and a powerful image: the bridegroom has arrived. Jesus reminds us that He didn’t come for those who think t...

In Luke chapter 5, Jesus calls Peter to do something that makes absolutely no sense—cast his nets into deep water in the middle of the day. Peter obeys anyway, and that single act of surrendered obedience changes his life forever. This Message challenges us to examine where Jesus may be calling us to obey—even when we don’t understand—and invites us to become a church of swimmers, not spectators.

What happens when Jesus preaches His very first recorded sermon—in His own hometown? In Luke chapter 4, Jesus returns to Nazareth and reads from Isaiah 61, boldly declaring that the Scripture has been fulfilled in their hearing. At first, the crowd is amazed. But when Jesus reveals what the Messiah’s mission truly looks like—and who God’s grace is really for—the mood shifts fast. There is a real d...

Welcome to Christmas at Redeemer’s! In this heartfelt Christmas-season message from Luke 2:21–35, we explore the humble presentation of baby Jesus at the temple, the faithful waiting of Simeon, and the profound truth at the heart of the gospel.
