Royal Redeemer Sermons

God desires that we conform to Christ's likeness in every situation. It can be hard to always reflect Jesus at work, or in school, or at home, or in retirement. Thankfully, with God all things are possible. As we continue in our series, "Faith @ Work", we will look at how God can take the various circumstances or events we face in life and use them to deepen our walk with Him, helpin...

A relationship with Christ isn't something that should be confined only to the weekend, but that should flow over into our work as well as every other area of our life. As Christ-followers, we are called to use our work, or whatever we're doing, as an opportunity to live out our walk with Christ. Join us as we look at why you were created to work.

All this week the world is focused on one event - an event that took place in the Middle East, in a little town with no fanfare. Yet, two thousand years later, the celebration of this event still causes the world to shut down. This year, let us learn what truly makes Christmas so special and the purpose behind God's greatest gift to the world in Jesus. This sermon was from our traditional serv...

All this week the world is focused on one event - an event that took place in the Middle East, in a town with no fanfare. Yet, two thousand years later, the celebration of this event still causes the world to shut down. This year, let us learn what truly makes Christmas so special and the purpose behind God's greatest gift to the world in Jesus. This sermon was from our contemporary service wi...

LOVE is an often-misused word. We say things like I love pizza; I love vacations; I love my spouse and kids. Strange... you have the same feelings and emotions for a slice of pizza as you do for your family? Now add to that the fact that the Bible tells us that "GOD IS LOVE". Join us as Pastor Dave helps us unbox God's Gift of Love... His unconditional, sacrificial, and forever LOVE,...

Have you lost sight of Joy? Has the preparation and busyness of Christmas distracted you from the simple message of the baby who was born to save you? Join us as Pastor Mark continues in our Advent sermon series, as we investigate the third gift of the season, Joy.

People today need and want peace. The good news is that, while this world offers a peace that is phony and fragile and doesn't last, the peace Jesus delivers is real and solid and never fades. As we continue our series "Red Letter Advent" we will look at the wonderful, blessing-filled peace Jesus brings into our lives - allowing us, in turn, to enjoy peace with God, within ourselves...

Deep down, people want to slow down during the holiday season, savor each precious moment, and finally open their longed-for presents. Red Letter Advent is a 25 day experience that is designed to help you to unbox the four gifts Jesus wants you to receive and give away: hope, peace, joy and love. Through this journey, you'll discover the true meaning of Christmas. Join us as we start our Adven...

As Christians, we celebrate the fact that our God is a God who is overflowing in generosity. Not only has He given us all that we have and enjoy, but He has given us Himself. As His followers, members of His family through faith, God calls us to follow His example. As we wrap up the series "Overflow", we will look at what it means for us to live a life that is overflowing in generosity,...

The people you meet are at different places on their spiritual journey. Some are unreceptive, and others are willing to listen. Some are still seeking. Being effective in your witness means knowing where they are and how to engage. Join us as Pastor Mark continues our sermon series, Overflow, as he preaches on Overflowing in Witness.

Many people today live from a place of scarcity where they never feel like they have enough. Aware of God's gracious provision, we joyfully live each day from a place of overflow. Recognizing and experiencing all God's blessings, we joyfully respond with a lifestyle of giving in the way we live, through what we say, and by our generosity. Join us as we begin our series, by looking at the v...

The Bible says that God does not want anyone to perish and that all people would repent. And He uses us to bring people into the Kingdom. Join us as Pastor Mark concludes our series in Colossians, as he preaches on how to Build New Relationships in Jesus.

How thoughtful are you about the clothes you put on? Do you spend a lot of time planning and coordinating, or do you just throw on whatever is on the top of the pile? The Apostle Paul uses specific language when he instructs us to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Join us as we continue in Colossians with a message from Pastor Mark about "Putting...

In the first two chapters of Colossians, Paul lays out a variety of truths that would help the Christians back then, and each of us today, keep "Jesus at the Center" of all that we say and do. Having explained those truths, Paul then turns the corner in chapter 3 and begins to explain in practical ways how to live out those truths every day, throughout the day. By the works of the Holy S...

Most of you would agree that God's Word is true. We desire to follow Jesus' plan and direction, and we want Him to be at the center of our lives. The early church in Colossae believed that as well, but they felt they needed to add human regulations like, don't touch this or don't taste that. They also added ways to earn God's Love. What about you? Are you grounded in Jesus alon...

Jesus showed us perfect selflessness in His service and sacrifice for us. The Bible calls us to do the same. Join us as Pastor Mark continues our sermon series titled, Jesus at the Center, as he preaches from Colossians about serving others for Jesus.

We often have conversations about "the best." We talk about the best restaurant in Cleveland, the greatest all-time basketball player, and the #1 place to vacation. For those of us who have come to know Jesus revealed in the Scriptures, we are convinced that He is the best. There is no one like Him... no one comes close. The 1st chapter of Colossians describes Jesus as being before all t...

Like the Christians at Colossae, we need to be alert to, not just the threat of false teaching, but the subtle addition of worldly solutions to the problem of our sin. Thankfully, Paul's letter to the Colossians addresses this danger reminding us that Jesus at the center is the answer for everything. He is supreme. He is sufficient. He alone saves us and changes each of us into His new creatio...

Insecurity may be one of humanity's biggest problems. We can let our emotions distract us from God's Truth. Maybe the unkind words or actions of others have made us insecure. Sometimes circumstances make us question God's faithfulness. Join us as we conclude our sermon series, "The promises of God", as Pastor Mark preaches on the story of Samuel in the sermon titled, God'...

When God freed Israel from their slavery in Egypt, He knew they might feel isolated and alone as they traveled through the wilderness and into the Promised Land. As a result, He provided a visible reminder of His constant presence in the Ark of the Covenant. Today, the Lord reminds us that He also is with us in our moments of isolation and loneliness. We enjoy His presence through His Holy Spirit...

The biblical story of Esther shows how God used an orphaned girl who was a member of a hated minority group. She was elevated from insignificance to a high government post so God could use her to save His people. Join us as Pastor Mark preaches from Esther on the feeling of insignificance.

We have all been there... life gets hard and complicated, and we feel like giving up. We feel totally insufficient to face the day. It must have felt that way for Ruth and Naomi as they faced a famine, as well as the death of Naomi's husband and both sons, and the death of Ruth's husband. Join us as Pastor Dave looks at the sufficiency of God working in the lives of Ruth and Naomi through...

Living in the shadow of fear and constantly worrying about what tomorrow may bring is exhausting. Thankfully, there are biblical truths that reveal God's unwavering faithfulness and can equip us to face any challenge. We will experience true freedom from the grip of stress and anxiety when we courageously stand firm upon the promises of God. Join us as we look at how, when feeling incapable, G...

What happens when a believer dies? What will happen when Jesus returns? How can the reality of eternity profoundly affect the way I handle suffering, blessing and indifference? Join us we conclude our six-week sermon series on the Apostles' Creed as Pastor Mark preaches on what we believe about eternity.

We continue in our series "This I Believe" by looking at the words "I believe in the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints". Through faith in Christ, we celebrate that we are in part of His worldwide Church, as well as an intimate community of fellow believers within a local congregation. By the work of the Holy Spirit, we rejoice in opportunities to help and care for...
