Redemption Church Sermons

The Lord of your life determines the direction of your life.  The question to consider is who is the one calling the shots in your life?  You or God?   Jonah is the story of God’s gracious pursuit of runners.  Are you running with God or running from God?  Your life choices make known which direction you are running.

Today we celebrate all that God has done in our short history at Redemption.  We saw when God speaks the results are alway life changing.  When God speaks God acts.  God speaks from awareness, God speaks with a vision, when God speaks He provides the strategy and when God speaks He gives courage.  We find our courage in Jesus to do whatever He asks us to do!

This single verse is encouraging us to join in with all creation and to proclaim the greatest truth that has ever been told… That Jesus Christ saves and is Lord Lord over all!! May our life's anthem be to continually proclaim Jesus as Lord!

We are so excited to close out our month of guest preachers with pastor Curtis Allen from Maryland. Pastor Curtis was part of the church planting network, Fellowship Associates, along with Pastor Josh this past year. This was such a timely and convicting message on what real faith looks like...a faithful faith. We know you'll be challenged not only by Pastor Curtis' testimony but also his challeng...

We were so thrilled and blessed to have our friend, Pastor Mike Dsane, from The Village Church, with us this past weekend at Redemption. What a great reminder of what it looks like to have a proper vision of the Lord which will in turn give us a proper vision for our church. Mike's heart for Jesus and his gift in passionately proclaiming God's Word is sure to bring encouragement to you as you list...

A God-Sized Calling Requires God-Given Courage. When God calls you to something, and He may be calling you to something today, it will always require courage. Will we follow and go where God asks us to go? In this message, we pray you'll be encouraged by the tools from God's Word that remind you of why we can trust our amazing God.

On this special day when we installed our first elder board, it's important to remember that our elders will be keeping the main thing the main thing here at Redemption. The hope of the gospel is where our eyes should always be fixed.

The final message in our Stand Strong series. We trust you've been encouraged and equipped throughout this series to put on the whole armor of God in your fight against the enemy. You're not alone in the battle. You are loved.

The armor of God is a call to submission. God is not requesting that we wear his armor but He is commanding us to wear his armor. Submission is active surrender to the greatness of Jesus, for the glory of Jesus, to experience the joy of Jesus.

We need to be reminded that grace is not of us. God’s powerful grace enables a powerful faith. Grace makes faith possible but faith makes victory possible. A strong faith is proof of a strong understanding of grace.  We need the shield of faith to believe the promises of God and embrace the protection that comes from Jesus vs our enemy.

To take the Gospel with you requires you to have the Gospel in you... What does it mean to have the Gospel in you? It means that you have a position of peace that has been provided freely to you by the death and resurrection of Jesus. What does it mean to take the Gospel with you?  It means you are a proclaimer of the peace that God has given you.   You cannot proclaim the Gospel if you don’t have...

In Rom 1:16-17 Paul challenges believers with sharing boldly the gospel of Jesus Christ. He recognized that days would come when this could be an extremely difficult task for believers. In an effort to encourage believers hearts until Christ' return, he lays out three reasons that all believers, including himself, can hold firm the message they have been given and truly live unashamed.

The Gospel enables you to stand strong in righteousness!  What does this mean?  We know it is not referring to manufactured righteousness.  The scriptures makes it clear that even our good deeds are like filthy rags to the Lord.  It also doesn’t mean positional righteousness.  Positional righteousness is the act of God justifying sinners.   To stand strong in righteousness refers to practical righ...

The Gospel enables us to stand strong in the truth.  To stand strong in truth we must know the truth, believe the truth and live the truth.  We must believe God’s Word to be the final authority in our lives. We must believe the truth of the Gospel and we must live what we say we believe.  In our battle with the flesh and the devil, we must find the courage to celebrate our victories.  We must find...

The Gospel enables us to stand strong in our identity!  The first thing we are told in the armor of God text is to be strong in the Lord. What does it mean to be strong in the Lord?  It means to stand in the Lord, stand to resist the devil and stand against our sin.  We must speak the truth of who we are to the devil and our flesh.  We must declare that we belong to Jesus!

These closing verses in Ephesians highlight once again the glorious truth of the gospel. We are encouraged to remember the way we now live, the gospel we daily need and the love we are to continually have. The gospel that has been REVEALED to you is a gospel that is to be REPEATED through you. As this book ends, it ends with this encouragement, “NEVER STOP LOVING JESUS…”

Right gospel relationships follow right gospel thinking. That's the big idea for this message and in we are challenged to be humble, live lives of surrender and to show the love of Jesus to others. We trust you'll be challenged to allow the gospel to reign fully in your lives...even in your relationships.

Who you work for is more important than the work you do. We get to decide who will be exalted through our work. Either we will exalt Jesus through our work or we will exalt ourselves through our work. You will work for His purpose and His glory or you will work for your purpose and your glory. One leads to joy the other leads to disappointment. So in light of these truths, who will get the glory t...

What does it mean to be Gospel-centered parents?    You must be anchored right in your love for Jesus, in your love for your spouse and your love for your kids. We saw that being gospel- centered parents has everything to do with your relationship with Jesus.  Paul writes about parenting after he establishes who Jesus is and what Jesus has done. He talks about parenting after he establishes what t...

In this message we see the amazing faith of a woman named Hannah. We saw that a faithful woman is a praying woman! How do you become a praying woman, man, student? When you trust in Jesus through faith, when you exalt Jesus in faith and when you rejoice in Jesus because of faith. Prayer is communication with God for the sake of communion with God. Prayer is a constant struggle that we as believers...

In our final message of our "I Do" series, we see that husbands are called to love their wives like Jesus loves the church. A heart loved is a heart that loves. You can only love your wife how God calls you to if you have embraced his love for you! Jesus gives each man the perfect pattern of how to love your wife. The love of Jesus was selfless, sacrificial and sanctifying!

From Ephesians 5 we see that a heart submitted is a heart committed! God’s strategy for a Gospel centered marriage starts with your submission to Jesus and ends with your commitment to your spouse. Every Gospel centered marriage has two great forgivers because it contains two great sinners.

In this passage we learn that God's design is always best as it related to marriage. We search the scripture to see what God's vision is for marriage and why marriage exists. Does your vision for marriage line up with God's vision for marriage?

In this text we are reminded that there is a clear way to walk with and for Jesus. We do this not out of religious duty, but rather out of a heart full of gratitude for all that Jesus has done. Our daily walk with Jesus depends on daily grace from Jesus. In light of that truth, we pray you are encouraged by this message from Ephesians 5.

It's ok to not be ok because Jesus is inviting me into God's kingdom and into a relationship with him no matter my spiritual condition or life situation.
