Redemption Church Denver Podcast

The passing of House Bill 1312 and the new regulations on child care facilities are evidence that Colorado is becoming increasingly hostile to Christians. I know, I know, Pastors who say that are being dramatic. The world has always been hostile to Christians right? Following Christ requires a willingness to bear social cost by being identified with Him. So another way to say it is that our cultur...

Our next sermon series at Redemption Church Denver is ... The Marriage Series. Marriage is holy territory. Like an altar, something glorious happens on it but it's also covered in fire (and dead animals). In order to understand marriage you have to see that marriage is a lot like you. The most important thing about it is how it relates to and glorifies Christ. This episode of the podcast is brough...

The big controversy of Romans 7 is whether or not Paul’s discussion of his struggle with sin refers to his present state in Christ or prior to his finding Christ. This controversy rages especially when we don’t understand the shape of the war against sin we still face in Christ. The sin remains in our flesh, but we have truly received and been renewed by the Spirit of the Lord in Christ. This chap...

In the 4th Century an Egyptian Monk named Evagrius of Pontus gained a reputation as an object of fear among the demons. His friend and fellow monk wrote to Evagrius requesting a treatise concerning "the fight against beings of darkness" so that "we, your friends, might easily cast off from ourselves those evil suggestions of theirs." Evagrius' reply is a taxonomy of spiritual warfare laid out in t...

In this second week of the Romans study Aaron and James discuss the first half of the first chapter in Romans. They address questions like, Who is the gospel for? Is this some new story Paul came up with that doesn't have to do with what Jesus was talking about? and how does the Old Testament connect to the story of Jesus?
