Redemption Church Sermons (Huntington, WV)

Christ calls us to think straight and stand tall. Refuse to bend and bow to pressure. Swim up stream rather than drift down. Live without hesitation or laziness. Fully committed to Jesus Christ and his mission.

It's amazing how God's grace, mercy, and peace transform our attitude, perspective, and conscience. We become freed up to serve others in prayer, discipleship, and encouragement.

This is a call for all of us to step up. To get into the fight without fear. Our culture is hurting and being fed a way to life and happiness that will lead to death and sadness. And they won’t hear about Jesus unless we regularly sacrifice for the cause of Christ. Let's be and do what God has called us to.

We are in God's hands. The choice to find meaningful connect in the church family is ours to make. We have 3 options. Either choose community, reject community, or postpone the choice. What will you choose?

God is love. So he gives love away. He gives us Jesus as a demonstration of his love. When we take Him we are receiving God’s love. But love isn’t put in our heart to stay. It’s to be given away to one another.

We don’t automatically relate to one another. Meaningful connection is the direct result of time, energy, and cultivation. True community will only result as we give ourselves to it's pursuit, motivated by our faith in God.

There are serious consequences to isolation. There are invaluable benefit to deep relationships. Our church must overcome present barriers to community and involvement. This will not only facilitate growth, but it is essential to our survival. Are you willing? Are you available?

We can have infinite joy in the midst of terrible times if we know Christ is proclaimed, even death is gain, and our salvation is obtained, here and now.

Every Christian was once a fugitive from God. Our guilt was great and penalty severe. In Jesus we have a Mediator. Through grace, we are now reconciled to God not as slaves, but as sons and daughters.

You looking for the meaning of everything? You looking for all of God? You have it in the person of Jesus Christ. Beware of any teaching that undermines the sufficiency and deity of Jesus Christ.

Being “a different kind of man” is one of the highest and hardest callings you will ever receive. So be on alert, stand firm, be strong, act in love, and God let do extraordinary things for his glory and your good through your ordinary, faithful, different kind of life.

To live in joy, I need the right hope. That’s Christ. To serve with joy, I need the right attitude. That’s Christs. To be on mission with joy I need the right message. That’s Christ. To rest with joy then I need the right resources. That’s Christ.

God has established our core identity in Jesus Christ, placed us in his family, and given us every thing we need to live for Jesus.

Jesus is the message, Christians are His messengers. The church's task is to faithfully make known that Jesus is the King of the world and calling all into his kingdom. Today is the day to take Jesus as Savior and Lord, if you haven't. If you have, today is the day to tell someone about Him.

If you’re dependent on your circumstances for hope you will never have hope. But when the object of our hope is God, we always have hope. For the Christian, hope isn’t an optional way to live, it’s essential. Because hope is a person. Jesus Christ.

We aren't a perfect church, but can be a real one. We don't have all the answers, but can care. We may not be smart, but can be wise. A people who cry and understand those who do. All because we bring it to Jesus who hurts with us and has been hurt on our behalf.

When journeying through storms remember the presence and promise of God, the importance of practical encouragement, and the necessity of complete faith. We have Jesus who says I love you and I died for you. I will be with you and never leave you on your journey. Your world may break apart but I will hold you fast.

You know where you stand with God. And how you’ve lived your life is not the issue of whether you're right with Him or not. Instead, it’s whether or not you will accept or reject Jesus as your God and Savior. So ask Jesus, right now, to forgive you and give you peace with God.

God chooses to use trials to redirect us, sharpen us, to make us wiser, to teach us patience, to slow down our foolishness, to quiet our spirit. The hope is that God does it out of love and succeeds in bringing about his purposes.

People put off all kinds of things, including important things. But faith in Jesus Christ it is too important to delay. And the more we put it off, the more desensitized we come to the risks and consequences of unbelief. Today is the day of salvation.

We all churn within over anxieties and pressure. But we can come to Jesus who promises to carry our burdens for us. The results are rest and peace in every circumstance and situation. Will you believe Jesus Christ as he gently commands us to come to Him?

We aren’t saved by praying a prayer or affirming a theological creed. We’re saved by Jesus. Jesus says don’t look at death. Look at me. I am life. I made you. I have the power over death. I am the resurrection. Look to me for life after death.

When we get to the crucifixion story, we see Jesus’ humanity like nowhere else. Look to Him, the founder and perfecter of your faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

In Christ, child of God you are forgiven and loved. God’s plan for his people is undefeatable and irreversible. He will give us the universe and all that is in it. Nothing will stop Him.

When we base our life story on our encounter with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, no one can refute it. You may not know where to show a person Jesus in the Bible. You may not have answers to their theological questions about God. You can have been a Christian 10 minutes and still be a powerful witness for Jesus Christ. By simply telling of your story of where you were before yo...
