Redemption Church Sermons (Huntington, WV)

No one wakes up one day and suddenly walks away from God. Spiritual compromise is usually slow, subtle, and almost impossible to notice until the damage has been done. From King Saul, we learn how to recognize the warning signs and cultivate a faith that finishes well.

The prophet Samuel accomplished all he did because of the faithful foundations laid for him. In the same way, we can build a foundation of faith for the generations after us. God willing, doing so will create a lasting legacy well beyond our years.

Strength and courage are not found in self-confidence, but in meditating on and clinging to the promises of God, going to war with sin, and leading our families with faithful, God-centered conviction. As God repeatedly reminded Joshua, our confidence rests not in our ability but in His presence.

What makes Jesus unlike anyone else who has ever lived? At the top of the list has to be his ability to be both compassionate and powerful. Through two deeply emotional encounters we see Jesus' heart for hurting people. Whether you feel desperate, overlooked, fearful, or far from God, you’ll see again that no one is beyond His reach and no need is too small for His attention.

In a world that either laughs at the demonic or obsesses over it, Scripture calls us to something different. A biblical, balanced, and discerning confidence in Christ. It's time to talk honestly about spiritual warfare, the reality of evil, and why believers do not have to live in fear. The enemy may be real, but Jesus is greater.

Jesus calls us to live in the light instead of hiding in shame, to build our relationships on truth instead of comfort, and to face life’s storms with faith instead of fear. As we trust Jesus as Lord, we can walk in freedom, speak truth courageously, and rest confidently knowing He will bring us safely through.

In a culture obsessed with size and success., Jesus reminds us that what matters most is t the condition of the heart. Through a simple story, Jesus shows the different ways people respond to God’s Word. Some hearts are hard, some shallow, some distracted, and some truly fruitful. It's time for honest self-examination. The harvest of our lives will always depend on the condition of our hearts.

No act of service is insignificant in the kingdom of God. Whether through giving, encouragement, hospitality, or unseen labor, God sees and rewards faithful service. When Jesus changes our life, we become generous, dependent, Christlike servants who help carry one another through life and ministry.

Two lives, one Savior, and completely different responses. Jesus exposes the danger of pride and the beauty of being forgiven and freed. Whether you feel far from God or think you have no need of Him, this passage calls us all to the same place...faith in Christ that leads to freedom and peace.

Confusion, disappointment, unanswered prayers. Before long, what once felt clear becomes hard to see. Even the strongest believers face moments like that. We’ll see how Jesus responds, not with shame, but with truth. We learn what it means to trust Him when life doesn’t make sense.

When hope feels distant or even gone, this passage reminds us that Jesus stepped into both the waiting and the weeping with power and compassion. Whether you’re still asking or you’ve stopped praying altogether, He is not limited by what feels impossible to you. Real hope is found by trusting that God is working even when you can’t see it yet.

What if the problem isn’t your situation, but your perspective? Jesus calls us to a radical, countercultural way of living that exposes what’s really in our hearts. This isn’t about behavior modification, but rather about seeing life the way He does and trusting Him enough to follow.

Discipleship isn’t a class you take, it’s a life you share. Jesus didn’t build His church from a distance; He brought people close, let them watch, and shaped them over time. If we’re going to follow Him, we don’t just need more information, we need relationships that actually change us.

The only truly free person. Only truly at peace person. Is a person who is right with God. We can look like we’ve got it all together with God and still be far from Him Because the only one who is right with God is the one who has put their faith in Jesus Christ. It's time to make a decision: Do you believe in Jesus Christ?

Blood sacrifice shows us just how serious sin is and the cost that must be paid in order to be right with God. By looking deeply into the stages of biblical sacrifice we grow in our appreciation of Jesus as the final sacrifice. The spotless Lamb who took our place so we don’t have to keep trying to earn forgiveness. The good news is simple: you don’t work your way to God. Christ already did everyt...

Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as the King in complete control, being surrounded in crowded triumph, cleansing His Father’s house with holy authority, and receiving crying praises from all ages and all peoples. Palm Sunday calls us to trust His sovereignty, welcome His purifying work, and join the wholehearted worship of Hosanna in the highest.

Every stage of Jesus’ arrest and trial—arrest, hearing, council, interrogation, and sentencing—was a complete corruption of the very justice system meant to protect the innocent, revealing the depth of human sin and injustice. Yet in that very corruption, the sinless Christ willingly stood condemned, demonstrating both His innocence and the brokenness of those judging Him.

Scripture calls us to submission, but what happens when human rules begin to replace God’s truth? Jesus shows that God’s commands are meant to serve people, not enslave them. Sometimes the most faithful thing a Christian can do is refuse to bow to rules that eclipse the greatness and grace of God. Followers of Christ can walk in the freedom of grace rather than the burden of legalism.

Many Christians slowly drift into a comfortable bubble. Surrounded by Christian friends, Christian activities, and Christian culture. Meanwhile the world around them goes untouched. But when we open the Gospels, we find Jesus at tables with tax collectors and sinners. How do we pursue holiness without isolation? How do we stay distinct from the world without withdrawing from it? Jesus shows us a b...

In Luke 5 we see Two helpless men and one powerful Savior. The real question isn’t whether God is big, it’s whether your view of Him is. The size of your God will determine the depth of your trust. Is He limited by your fears, your lists, your expectations? Or is He willing, powerful, and worthy of glory? This Sunday we ask: How big is your God?

It's in our weakness that God steps in most clearly and powerfully. Our insufficiency becomes the stage of Christ's sufficiency. Even more, He can use us to reach others and draw people to Himself.

Jesus shows us what faithful ministry actually looks like: teaching truth, displaying God’s power, loving the broken, and staying devoted to the Father. This passage challenges us to examine how we live and serve.

Approval is fragile and criticism is inevitable. But faithfulness often means pressing on anyway. We learn from Jesus how to keep going when beginnings are hard, praise fades, and obedience costs more than we expected. If you’re in a season where you’re tempted to quit, this message is for you.

Temptation is powerful, but not more so than Christ's provision. Jesus has shown us both the patterns of temptation and how to overcome it. Let's learn to recognize the lures of desire, stand firm in the Word, and rely on Christ’s power to say no to sin and yes to God.

Before grace sounds like good news, sin must be named. When Christ is embraced, real change follows. A ministry of repentance and faith in Christ clears the way, prepares the way, and then gets out of the way.
