Royal Redeemer Sermons

Everyone goes through grinding seasons in life, those periods of time in your life when things become especially busy, or even overwhelming. Thankfully, God promises His guidance, strength and peace when dealing with the burdens and busyness of life. As we continue in our study of the book of Psalms, we rejoice that God's power is always available for us when Navigating the Grinding Seasons of lif...

Nobody likes change. Especially unexpected, dramatic change. But there is no avoiding transitions in our lives. God's Word gives us a lot of help in this area. We are continuing our sermon series titled, "Psalms: Navigating the Seasons of Life" at this Sunday, Pastor Mark preaches on navigating through transitions. We'll learn how God promises to walk with us through life's transitions, and how th...

Every three months, we enter a new season: winter, spring, summer, and fall. With every new season comes a unique set of characteristics, opportunities, and challenges. Our life has seasons, as well, along with its own unique set of characteristics, opportunities, and challenges. As we begin this new series on "Psalms" and learn how to navigate the different seasons of our lives, we begin by looki...

Here's the stark reality - you and those around you are dying from sinfulness. But here's the good news - Jesus has given you the greatest gift of all - forgiveness! So, why do we sometimes wrestle with forgiveness? God calls us to receive His forgiveness, to forgive ourselves, and to offer forgiveness to others. This week Pastor Dave will use what we've covered so far to help us unpack what it lo...

As we continue in our series, "Embracing Forgiveness", we will look at how "Forgiveness Brings Power" to us today. It is unfortunate but, like many other people, we can get caught up in bad habits or poor decisions that leave us imprisoned. Thankfully, we do not have to remain there. By God's grace and forgiveness, we can walk out into the fresh air of freedom and enjoy the new life He freely offe...

Sin will always exist in our world, and we will always need to forgive people who hurt and wound us. Considering just how much God has already forgiven us in Christ, we are called to release these individuals and, if possible, reconcile with them. That, however, can be difficult. Thankfully, as we continue in the series "Embracing Forgiveness", we will find that God's Word provides us with the gui...

"I know God has forgiven me, but I just cannot forgive myself." This is a comment often heard in the offices of pastors, counselors, and therapists. This Sunday, as we continue our sermon series, "Embracing Forgiveness", Pastor Mark will discuss the love found in I Corinthians 13 and help us answer the question, "How Can I Forgive Myself"? There is healing, hope, and wholeness to be found for thos...

In Luke 15, Jesus teaches a story about a son who turns his back on his father and leaves, but then recognizes his mistake and comes back home to find a father who is quick to forgive and restore him. When we recognize our sinfulness and turn to God in humble repentance, we can celebrate the fact that we will always find forgiveness and restoration from our heavenly Father who loves us. This Sunda...

As we wrap up this series and look at how "Everyone Needs a Coach", we are reminded that God wants each of us to "win the prize" of being in a relationship with Him, both now and forever. And while good coaching is important, having the right coach is critical! No matter what we do in life, as long as God is directing us and coaching us through it, we can be confident that we will succeed. July 31...

Many of us love to play card, board, and online games. Most are designed to be played by two or more participants. The game of Solitaire is different. It's a game meant to be played alone. Our lives are like the games we play...sometimes we do life interacting with others...and sometimes we go at it alone. This week Pastor Dave will share a message titled, "Solitaire: Winning Against Loneliness"....

"If only somebody would have sent me home!" That's the grumbling of a runner stuck on third base when none of his teammates can drive-in a run. The Church is like a baseball team. None of us can win without the encouragement, work, love, and support of our teammates. As we continue our sermon series, "The Games of Life," Pastor Mark preaches a message titled, "Baseball: Life is a Team Sport", and...

In the game of Texas Hold'Em, a player can "go all in" and bet all their poker chips. It's a risky move but can lead to a huge payoff. To fully experience what God desires for us in life, we too need to be willing to step out and take risks. As we do, we'll be blessed with a life that is exciting and full of growth, service, and opportunities to share the love of Christ with others! June 10, 2022

In sports, there's a clear winner and a clear loser, and the winner walks away with the prize. When it comes to life, however, the Bible's definition of "winning" is much different. This Sunday, we'll learn what matters most in life, as well as discover some winning strategies for success in "Life, the Big Game". June 3, 2022

Who can truly comprehend the deep love that God has for us? He says it's deeper than a mother's love for her child. He says it's steadfast, enduring and patient. God's love drives away fear and inspires us to be selfless. And He showed us the highest form of love as He gave up His Son for us, to pay the debt we owe for our sin. In our last week of this "Monumental" sermon series, join us as Pastor...

Join us as Pastor Mark reminds us that "God is Everywhere". Even in our brokenness, loneliness and hurt, God promises to never leave us nor forsake us. June 19, 2022

Almost everything God does or says is a surprise. He parted the sea for the Israelites to escape. Surprise! He tells us He loves us despite our sin and rebellion. Surprise! He gives extraordinary comfort and peace in the middle of our darkest experiences. Surprise! This Sunday, Pastor Mark begins this series with, "God is Surprising". June 12, 2022

This Sunday, we wrap up the "Timeless" sermon series. Pastor Dave will examine King David's life to glean the timeless characteristic of Godliness. You may scratch your head and ask, "Are you talking about David the adulterer and murderer?" It's true... David messed up, more than once. We also know that David had some wonderful victories! And yet, in both circumstances, he had a humble heart. When...

Confidence is a good thing. But what about when you run out of options? What happens when there is nothing you can do; when you're desperate? Jehoshaphat, a good king of Judah, was facing enemies that surely would destroy him and his people. But he responded with real, authentic humility. He told God. "We don't know what to do. But our eyes are on You." We can learn a lot from that. Join us as we...

"The Lord had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you... So, Abram left." This verse, Genesis 12:1, 4a, is extremely significant. God chooses Abram as the first step in building the nation of Israel. God intends to accomplish His will through this man and his family. He asks Abram to leave behind everyone and everything he know...

May 15, 2022

None of us want to be known as a coward. We all want to be courageous. But what does real courage look like, and who gives it to us? This Sunday, Pastor Mark will continue to explore the timeless character traits that God would like to see in all of us. We'll learn about the prophetess and judge, Deborah, and how her focus drove her courage, and how that courage was enough for two people. May 8, 2...

As we launch this new sermon series on Sunday, we big by looking at Noah and the faith he demonstrated in his life. As God builds and strengthens our own faith, we rejoice in the many opportunities we have to live out our faith, as well as share it with others. May 1, 2022

I John 3:18 says, "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." God is telling us that His love, in us, ought to flow out to others. This can manifest itself in many ways, including missions. This Sunday is Mission's Sunday at Royal Redeemer and we'll look into Jesus' command to go and make disciples, baptize and teach. You'll hear from several missionaries f...

It doesn't take much to realize that good news rarely comes from a graveyard. Yet, on that first Easter, that is precisely what happened!

As we conclude our series...
