Redemption Church

Jesus came to die for us and save us so that sin can no longer have a hold on our lives. Pastor Byron breaks down how we are saved, what we are saved from, what are we saved from and what are we saved for.

Have you ever noticed that we, as humans, have the tendency to focus on the negative and dwell there? This not only impacts our thinking patterns, but it also hinders us physically and spiritually. Pastor Byron speaks to the way Jesus taught us--a better way to a good life--and walks us through 4 key ways to living in that goodness.

We spend most of our short time on Earth striving for blessings that don't hold a candle to the ones we already have. That striving does terrible things to our hearts. If we get the fame and fortune, we risk people. If we miss the mark, we chance a life of bitterness. Either way, we surely live lives focused on everything but what our Father has done for us. In this sermon, Pastor Byron encourages...

Bitterness is a snare. It's poison we willingly drink and expect to have no effect on us. It is a sure sign that our eyes are not on the cross and the grace and mercy that has been given so freely to to us ... but on ourselves. In this sermon, Jacob Hryhorchuck gives us three ways we can walk free from bitterness. To choose to hold onto bitterness is to refuse to show others the same grace that th...

When it comes to your identity in Christ, it's not about finding yourself ... but losing yourself in God. It's about letting go of the image you have of yourself. It's about releasing who you wished you could be and holding on tight to who God says you already are. In this sermon, Trevor Knox gives us three questions to ask ourselves when it comes to our identities. We could listen to the lies of...

The phrase "in Christ" shows up many times in Ephesians. This phrase is important as it points to our new identity once we accept Christ into our hearts and lives. Nothing can change this, and this changes everything. In this sermon, Pastor Byron Ellis expounds five things we are in Christ. These truths are imperative for us because once we discover who we are (in Christ) we will know how to live.

The gospel changes everything! Pastor Byron walks us through what the gospel is as well as Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. Providing evidence that Jesus really lived, died and rose from the dead for our sins.

Having a healthy church, one that focuses on the Lord and seeks to help build His kingdom, includes being preventative in how we move. Pastor Byron walks us through Nehemiah chapter 13 and talks about four ways a church dies. In doing so, a church can take steps to thrive and ensure growth for the next generations.

Have you ever wondered if what you do matters? Well, you're not alone. Pastor Byron walks us through the book of Nehemiah, chapters 11 and 12, which give us a guide for finding meaning and feeling a part of something greater than ourselves. When we step out with the LORD, we find the greatest meaning.

"If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." That's it. That's all it takes to be saved. Both in biblical times and today, people have tried to impose additional rules, obscuring the gospel and putting walls where God opened doors. In this sermon, Bob Baulch teaches on the spirit of religion and explains how it c...

When the subject of money is brought up in churches, people can get antsy. We know, like other topics in the bible, there have been bad teachings on the matter. However, this does not mean we should ignore what the bible teaches. During Jesus' time on this earth, he talked about money more than he talked about heaven and hell. In this sermon, Pastor Byron Ellis gives us three reasons why he tithes...

Feeling defeated by life's challenges is a normal human response. As we get to know the LORD more and as He guides us in faith, we find refuge and restoration that lasts. What happens when we don't fully receive the peace and freedom that the LORD gifts to us because of the way we view our challenges? Tara Marshall guides us through breaking free from a victims' mindset by looking to the LORD's tr...

As long as there is breath in our lungs, there is work for us to do, people for us to reach and a kingdom for us to take part in building. When it comes to building the Kingdom of God, everyone has a part to play. In this sermon, Pastor Byron Ellis gives us three practical keys to building the kingdom. As we read through Nehemiah, we find that the wall gets completed, but that's when God was just...

God places a calling on people's lives and a burden in their hearts to advance his kingdom. Just as our God has plans for us, so does our enemy. If the enemy can't distract you, he'll try to discourage you from fulfilling the calling God has on your life. In this sermon, Pastor Byron Ellis gives three pieces of advice for when we feel like giving up. No matter where you are in life, you can be a K...

Of course, it doesn't stop there: we then walk through the gift that the Lord provides us to welcome and experience His revival. In recognizing and accepting the Lord's g...

When walking with God, an attack from the enemy is not a matter of if but when. With every opportunity there is to make a difference in the Kingdom of God, there will also be resistance and opposition. We must not forget that as we work, we also war. In this sermon, Pastor Byron Ellis reveals five tactics the enemy uses and five spiritual weapons we need when facing these attacks. The devil is a c...

How dare they say that to you?! If that thought sounds familiar, then you're acquainted with the subtle sound of deep-rooted offense. When we hold on to offense and unforgiveness, we feed into stumbling blocks that keep us from the true freedom that God guides us through as we grow in discipleship. Pastor Lance Faulkner walks us through understanding offense and how to "Set Free and Live Free" wit...

The Creator of all things made us on purpose and for a purpose. If you believe everything in the bible is true, you must believe that all things (including us) were made by Him and for Him. Much of what we are created to do, we are created to do together in community. In this sermon, Ethan Berwick goes into great detail about how God created us for community, discipleship and multiplication. Inclu...

The Lord's way is not like the world's way, and for that we are blessed.

The creator of all things says, "The greatest among you shall be your servant." In this sermon, Pastor Byron Ellis gives us three reasons on why we...

We want to be in His will and His t...
