Talks from Sundays

In this message, we explore what forgiveness really means, why it matters, and how to do it. We discover how God gives forgiveness as a gift, not only to release others, but to set us free, bring healing to our hearts, and experience the freedom He wants for us.

In this message we explore how Jesus teaches us to navigate conflict in healthy and helpful ways. We consider how humility, sensitivity, openness and listening can help us handle difficult situations, pursue reconciliation and build stronger relationships and community.

In this message, we explore why community is essential to following Jesus and how our relationships shape our spiritual growth. While our culture often tells us that faith is primarily private and that church is optional, Scripture presents a different picture. God calls us into community - a place where truth meets life. The essential context in which we learn to follow Jesus together, and where...

God created us for deep fellowship with Him and meaningful relationships with one another - to know and be known, to belong and to grow together. Yet relationships can bring both great joy and deep challenge, exposing our brokenness through conflict, disappointment and hurt. In the opening message of our new series, we explore this tension: we desperately need one another, yet our brokenness can m...

What happens when we’ve blown it? What happens when we end up doing things we never imagined possible? Psalm 51 gives us David’s brutally honest response to failure, guilt and shame and shows us a way back to God. Through confession, surrender, cleansing and renewal, David discovers that our brokenness doesn’t have to be the end of the story. There is hope.

With its author, king David, we can boldly approach God in prayer. We can pray as he did, and we are being helped by, like David does, reminding ourselves of the character of God, of his goodness, his mercy his steadfast love and faithfulness. Most important the Psalm encourages and helps us in any circumstance to put our trust in the Lord, our God.

This message is the beginning of our series in the Psalms. Looking at Psalm 131, we are looking for the ways that God invites us to a place of deeper intimacy and time with him and some practical ways to walk that out.

This message closes out our series on the Names of God, and focuses on the Lord our Shepherd. In Psalm 23, we meet the God who guides and leads us into green pastures and beside still waters, even as we walk through valley of the shadow of death. This Psalm is also a picture of the gospel, of Jesus our Good Shepherd, who came to find and rescue us.

In this message we explore how God challenges Abraham to surrender the thing he values most, and how that surrender becomes the doorway to God's miraculous provision. We see that this is the pattern God calls us to embrace: surrender that leads to His provision, ultimately pointing us to Jesus, whose sacrifice on the cross makes God's greatest provision possible.

In this fourth message of our Knowing God series, we explore the meaning of God’s promise, “I am the Lord, who heals you,” first spoken to Israel after He made the bitter waters of Marah drinkable. While it promised healing and restoration to God’s people then, the New Testament reveals it as a picture of God’s continuing desire to heal and restore all who place their trust in Jesus.

In this sermon Hsoc looks at Exodus 17:8-16 where we discover the name of God: Jehovah Nissi. It covers various aspects of living in the victory available to us through Jesus.

This week in our Knowing God series, we encounter El Roi - the God who sees me. Through the story of Hagar in Genesis 16, we discover a God who actively seeks the lost, notices the overlooked, and meets people in their wilderness places. More than learning another name of God, this message invites us into an encounter with the One who knows us by name, sees our pain, and speaks hope over our lives...

Vahé starts off the series on the Names of God explaining how knowing who God shapes who we are and who we are becoming, and how we are designed to live a God-centred life. He looks at the significance behind God revealing His Name at the burning bush, what His Name tells us about who He is and how this revelation can change us.

In this message, we explore the vital role of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. We look at God's invitation to each of us to receive the Spirit, walk with the Spirit, and be led by the Spirit each day.

As we celebrate the fourth anniversary of the beginning of Redeemer Rotterdam, we reflect with gratitude on all that God has done among us. We share some of the many reasons we are thankful, and we look ahead with faith, considering what we are praying for and hoping to see in the years to come.

In this message we explore Gideon’s victory over Midian and how it points to God’s Kingdom coming through Jesus. God uses ordinary, available people. Like Gideon, we are called to trust God’s promises and walk by faith, even when we feel weak or afraid. God hasn’t simply come to change our personal lives, He has come to draw us into His greater purposes as His Kingdom advances. Our stories are now...

In this message we look at how Gideon had to face challenges and fears when God thinned out his army from 30.000 men to only 300. In preparation of the battle to come, Gideon was tested in his obedience to God and learned to walk in humility and surrender. In our own lives we also face fears. The question is; do we follow the voice of our fear or God’s voice? We explore practical steps that can bu...

In this message, Vahé looks at the life and story of Gideon and unpacks what Scripture has to say about developing a conversational relationship with God. A relationship where we converse together and ask for guidance. Vahé also explores how we can become the kind of people who naturally recognise God's voice and act on it.

In this message, we see how, before facing the Midianites, God calls Gideon to deal with the idols in his own life. We explore how God calls us to identify and confront the idols we cling to, and why turning and looking to Him is always so much better.

In this message, we explore Gideon’s encounter with God in Judges 6 - his doubts, God’s call, and Gideon’s response. We see how God initiates, calls the weak, and transforms lives. We also see how Gideon co-operates with God’s call, which raises the question, how do we keep our hearts receptive what God is saying and doing?

Judges reveals a cycle of complacency, compromise, and struggle that speaks to the human condition and at times can even mirror our own lives. Yet when people cry out, God responds with grace. Gideon’s story shows our need for transformation, God’s willingness to rescue, and reminds us how critical it is to believe God’s word as we seek to break the cycle.

In this message we look at how Jesus journeys with us through hard seasons and the challenge to us to believe Him, to remember His word and to know that we are not alone.

On Easter Sunday, we considered the significance of baptism as a powerful symbol of cleansing, a sign of belonging, and a step of faith. Rooted in Jesus’ death and resurrection, it reveals new life, identity, and hope. This message invites each of us to consider our response.

In this message, we look the meaning of 'Palm Sunday', the event of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, that we read about in the gospels. Taking a 'triple jump' through Scripture we explore its significance in God's plan for salvation. In addition, we look at things that can hinder us 'seeing it' and living it out in our own lives.

In chapter 4 we see that God works to bring fullness and fruitfulness out of seasons of emptiness and barrenness. And that there is a hope for us. Because from the line of Ruth and Boaz would come a greater kinsman redeemer, Jesus, who gives us a hope and a future.
