Redemption North Mountain Church

"They came to him, saying, 'Hail, King of the Jews!' and struck him with their hands." The true king is here to be crucified in order to receive his crown. Speaker: Tyler Johnson John 19:1-27

"So who do you want me to release?" At the core of the gospel is a message of substitution and freedom. Jesus takes Barabbas' punishment and sets him free. This is the gospel. Speaker: Josh Watt John 18:38-40

Jesus faces yet another trial centered on this question, "who is the king?" Pilate, like all of us, must face the same question. Jesus is inviting us all into a kingdom not of this world. Speaker: Josh Watt John 18:28-37

"Again Peter denied it and immediately the rooster began to crow." The one Jesus calls Rock cowers as Jesus' most pressing moment draws near. Speaker: Josh Watt John 18:1-27

"Hey, I'm praying for you." This is one of the greatest gifts a friend can give us. And in John 17 this Sunday we experience the reality that Jesus prays for us. Speaker: Juan Chavez John 17:20-26

"My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one." The great tension of being a follower of Jesus is at the core of Jesus' prayer for His disciples. Speaker: Sandy Mason John 17:6-19

"When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven..." Jesus prayed throughout his ministry and he ends his ministry in prayer.  Speaker: Josh Watt

2021 is coming to a close. It was another year of information overload. Other than more information, is there something we could be looking for this year? Speaker: Josh Watt

"Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked..., he sent and killed all male children in Bethlehem." The Christmas story is a story of hope within the pain of a dark and broken world. Speaker: Josh Watt

"And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him." At the core of the Christmas message is this simple truth - Jesus is the only one worthy to be worshiped. Speaker: Josh Watt

"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel. (which means God with us)" And like that... God, the author, wrote himself into the first Christmas story, and He is with us now and forever. Speaker: Anthony Hernandez

"The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham." God's promised one is here. His family tree reflects both the beauty of a promise-keeping God and the brokenness that all families share. Matthew 1:1-17 Speaker: Josh Watt

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps." We do not know the day or the hour of Jesus' return. He gives us a warning to be awake, and be ready. Matthew 25:1-13 Speaker: B...

"Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you." Jesus leaves us with the great gift, the Helper. John 16:4-15 Speaker: John Crawford

"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." Jesus doesn't use many words to describe how the world will view His followers. He boils it down to one: hate. John 15:18-16:3 Speaker: Josh Watt

"Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." These words of Jesus may be the most difficult words for a Christian to fully believe. John 15:1-17 Speaker: Josh Watt

"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper..." Jesus continues his final message to His disciples. He knows they can't do it alone, so He promises them that He will send help, the Holy Spirit. John 14:15-31 Speaker: Josh Watt

"Don't be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." Jesus is close to leaving. His disciples are feeling the weight of life without him. What does Jesus think they need to hear? Believe. John 14:1-14 Speaker: Josh Watt

In a world that looks for rescue from our brokenness through human innovation or achievement, we believe that God (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit working together) saves (does everything, first to last, to bring man to glory) sinners (people guilty, helpless, and powerless before God). Ephesians 2:1-10 Speaker: Sandy Mason

In a world that is often focused on accumulating wealth and material goods, we believe that we are called to follow Jesus in a path of self-denial and generous giving — of our time, talent, and treasure. 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 Speaker: Josh Watt

In a world that wants to help the poor, but only from a safe and comfortable distance, we believe that we are called to embody Christ’s kingdom through concrete acts of compassion, tangible ministries of mercy, and prophetic witnesses of justice. Luke 10:25-37 Speaker: Josh Prather

In a world that validates nearly every consensual expression of sexual desire, we believe that God intends sex to be only practiced within marriage and prohibits any sexual activity outside of this one-man and one-woman covenant (pornography, adultery, pre-marital sex, same-sex sexual activity). Genesis 2:18-25, Revelation 21:1-4 Speaker: Josh Watt

In a world that sees gender as a fluid social construct, we believe that biological sex (male and female) is created by God, and gender identity should be understood and expressed within one’s biological sex. Matthew 19:1-12 Speaker: Josh Watt

In a world of rampant tribalism, where Christians are often tempted either to conform to secular culture or to seclude from it, we believe that we should engage our world with conviction and civility, truth and grace, steel spines and soft hearts. 2 Peter 3:10 Speaker: Josh Watt

"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Discipleship should always be marked primarily by love. John 13:31-38 Speaker: Josh Watt
