Redemption Church - Sermons

This Sunday, we’re excited to welcome back Dr. Matthew Emerson from Oklahoma Baptist University as we continue our three-week look at the doctrine of the Trinity. This week, we’ll explore the theme of wisdom in Proverbs 8 and how it gives us a deeper glimpse into the reality of the triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit.

Genesis 1 This Sunday, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Matthew Emerson as we begin a three-week focus on the doctrine of the Trinity. Dr. Emerson serves as Co-Provost, Dean of Theology, Arts, and Humanities, and Professor of Religion at Oklahoma Baptist University.

Psalm 32 invites us to consider the joy of being forgiven and the freedom that comes when we stop hiding and start confessing our sin to God and others. We'll reflect on the beauty of God's grace—and respond to it with grateful, honest hearts.

Do you know people who don’t follow Jesus but seem to be thriving? Does it ever make you wonder if following him is really worth it—or if Jesus is good for some but unnecessary for others? This week in our series, Psalm 96 makes a bold claim: Jesus is the rescuing King of heaven and earth. And if that’s true, nothing matters more—for us, for our neighbors, and for the world.

Psalm 126—a song of joy, longing, and hope for restoration.

This Sunday, we continue our series The God We Worship by exploring how the Psalms help us relate to God personally and honestly. Rather than polished or perfect prayers, the Psalms give us raw, emotional language to help us bring our real selves to a real God.

The God We Worship | A.W. Tozer famously said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” So what comes to your mind? An impersonal force? A cosmic life coach? An angry judge? This summer, we’ll explore who God truly is—and what difference it makes to worship him with your whole life.

The words we speak matter. They can bring life or they can bring death. This Sunday we'll take a look at the book of Proverbs together and learn how to bring life to those around us with our words.

John 9:1-41 In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind—not only restoring his physical sight, but revealing a deeper spiritual truth about the need for honest humility. Join us Sunday as we explore what it looks like to admit our need and to look to Jesus for the kind of healing only he can give.

Proverbs 31:10-31 How does our faith shape our everyday lives as we move from task to task? This week, we seek wisdom that gives us purpose and strength today so that we can smile at all the tomorrows coming our way.

This week, we look at one of the most difficult teachings of Jesus: the exclusive nature of faith. Based on the responses, this message was just as unpopular in Jesus' time as it is today. Join us Sunday as we explore Jesus' divine claims of truth.

John 8:25-36 In this passage, we come to Jesus’ famous statement: “The truth will set you free.” But free from what? And how does it work? This week, we’ll explore Jesus’ call to abide in the Truth, live as a son or daughter of God, and walk in real freedom.

Easter Sunday!

In a world full of noise, confusion, and half-lit paths, Jesus makes a bold claim: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” This week, we’ll look at Jesus’ second “I Am” statement in John’s Gospel and explore what it means to follow him as he leads us into fullness of life.

John 7:53 - 8:11 This Sunday, April 6, is Commitment Sunday! We are excited to see how God will use our A HOME FOR JOY initiative—our effort to raise $2,000,000 so that we can create more inviting, joy-filled spaces for new faces to find deep, meaningful life in Christ. Thank you to everyone who has prayed, offered encouragement, and asked how you can be a part of it!

We are just over a week away from our A HOME FOR JOY Commitment Sunday on April 6th. Join us this Sunday as we spend time seeking the Lord together as a church in worship and prayer as we prepare to make our commitments.

Wherever Jesus is considered, questions are raised. Jesus’ gravitas and goodness, his miracles and signs, his astounding teaching, and his radical claims come into conflict with the world and its ways. Whether 2000 years ago or today, all must decide what to do with his invitation: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”

If you are a follower of Jesus, you will reach crossroad moments where you will have to decide whether you will turn back or press on. This week, we watch how the hard sayings of Christ can become decision points for our faith journey. These commitments are important in our devotion to the mission of Jesus.

What distinguishes faith in Christ from every other religious or spiritual approach? And why does it matter so much? Join us this week as we explore the primary reason Jesus was sent from heaven to earth, how important this is for you, and how this shapes our mission as a church.

We’re all searching for something that will truly satisfy us. Whether it’s success, relationships, or comfort, we keep coming back hungry for more. In John 6, Jesus makes a bold claim: "I am the Bread of Life." Join us as we explore what it means to feast on Jesus and enjoy the true life he offers us.

Most of us want to be prayerful people. Few of us are. This week, we consider how we deal with the pressures of life, and we are invited into the path of prayerfulness as we seek to trust the God who sees all, knows all, and remains over all.

This week, we look at the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels—the feeding of the 5,000. But this miracle isn’t just about food—it’s an invitation to personally trust that Jesus can provide for our everyday needs as well. And when we learn to trust him, our anxiety lessens, our faith deepens, and we can rest in his abundant provision.

What role does the Word of God play in your life? In this week’s passage, Jesus offers an inspection of reasons why people reject him. In doing so, he offers critical insights into the way the Word of God points us toward life in Him.

Have you ever faced a momentous moment that determined your future? This week, we will study Jesus’ strong and profound words about himself—words that no mere human should ever speak about life, death, judgment, and eternity. Join us as we consider the implications of Jesus’ claims for ourselves.

How do you see your life? Your answer to this question will shape your life. The Bible calls Christians “citizens of heaven” who have a home and an inheritance with God that brings joy indescribable. Join us Sunday as we close out this series looking at how we live in light of eternal joy.
