Redemption Church Seattle Podcast

We wrap up 2018 by being reminded that we are not alone and encouraged by the truth that Christ is Lord over all of life. (12-30-18)

What kind of love will we take with us this Christmas? People define love in many different ways, but love that has the power to make a lasting impact and even change hearts is very different than the cultural norm. This beautiful, selfless, sacrifical love carries it's way throughout the story of Jesus' coming. (12-23-18)

Joy is a powerful word and one we here a lot around this time of year. How do we experience it and what does it lead to? For better clarity, we look to Matthew 2:1-12. (12-16-18)

Is peace really possible? When we look around our world and our life, peace may seem too goo to be true or simply a myth. We're reminded as we approach the birth of Christ that peace isn't found in a circumstance but in a savior. (12-09-18)

Hope is a powerful word and something that has the power to keep us from giving up and walking away. Hope directed in the right place has the power to change everything. That's what we see in this first week of Advent. (12-02-18)

Is change really possible? We know that more rules and regulations aren't going to solve the issue based on what Paul says at the end of chapter two. So how do we see lasting change away from the harmful tendencies we have (anger, coveting, slander, sexual immorality, etc)and toward the person God has made us to be? (11-25-18)

Our mind is always set on something. What does it look like to set our mind on "things above" and why is it so important? Check out this sermon as we continue in our series from Colossians. (11-18-18)

What really is legalism and why is it so dangerous? Paul hits this idea time and time again throughout Colossians and today he walks us through the issue of qualification vs disqualification and adding things to the gospel of Jesus. (11-11-18)

What does it mean to be alive in Christ? How do we live this out? That's what we look at in this section of Paul's letter to Colossae. (11-04-18)

When it comes to discipleship and the growth of believers, nothing replaces face to face community. (10-28-18)

Are you willing to be uncomfortable for your faith? This is the question we're faced with as Paul shares the aim of his entire ministry with the church in Colossae. As Paul explains, we also see why it's so important that we are. (10-21-18)

We all have a fundamental desire to place our trust and hope in something that's secure, that won't let us down, or crush us. As Paul puts on a defense of Jesus in this section of Colossians, we're faced with the all-important question, "what am I functionally placing my hope in and will it hold up?" (10-14-18)

Today we open up Colossians and Paul's introduction to the Colossian Christians. In a culture with competing ideologies and the temptation to veer into other beliefs, Paul's message is consistent and repetitive; Christ above all. (10-07-18)

Jesus has sent and is sending us with the power of the Holy Spirit out into the world with a clear mission...to make disciples. In Acts 17 we see a great example of what this practically looks like for every Christian, everywhere. (09.30.18)

The Holy Spirit has been called the "forgotten" God which is unfortunately more true within our church and lives than we care to admit. This week we look at the authority and importance of the Holy Spirit on a personal level and when it comes to Jesus mission of Redemption. (09-23-18)

In our second week of the "Sent" series, we look at our greatest hope! The Father sends Jesus His Son, not to condemn the world but to save it. This news is for every man, woman, and child, which means it's something we take as the gospel goes with us. (09-16-18)

Before we get into the heart of this new series focused on looking outward and reaching our city, we need to sit with the heart of God. Something that if we're being honest, isn't always the easiest thing to do. What Drew helps us see today is that even lesser distractions can carry greater consequences. (09.09.18)

Stress is very different from distress. In this Psalm, we encounter the reality of distress and the greater reality of God who hears us and answers us when we call. (09-02-18)

When we face challenges where do we look? Where do we go? In this Psalm of accent, we are reminded that our help comes from The Lord, the one who made us and everything around us. The one who knows our hearts and the things that keep us up at night. (08-26-18)

The how and why of purity and the pursuit of God. This amazing Psalm unfolds not only the power of pursuing God but the hope that comes through Jesus' righteousness. (08-19-18)

When was the last time you were truly in awe? Not awe like scrolling through your instagram feed, but real, genuine child-like wonder and awe? Pastor Ben challenges us to make room for those moments in this sermon from Psalm 139. (08-12-18)

Ever have the unexpected drop into your life? Ever have a big decision to make? Ever feel stressed about all of it and feel like a hampster running on a wheel going nowhere? This Psalm is for you. (08-05-18)

In part II of Psalm 67, Alex walks us through the importance of evangelism and what should be on the heart of the church for people in our neighborhoods and city. (07-29-18)

The Psalms absolutely points to Jesus and His mission. A mission of redemption that He has called His church to take part in. This week we looked at a few verses in Psalm 67 and got a glimpse of The Mission. (07-22-18)

We know God has blessed us but what does it mean to bless Him? In this Psalm from David we see very clearly that in an ever busy, chaotic, self-centered culture, we need to constantly remember what God has done and who He is. This is where the blessing comes from. (07-15-18)
