Redemption Life Fellowship

In this Easter message from Redemption Life Fellowship, we trace Mark 14:12–16:8 under the title “He Went Before You,” following Jesus from the Passover table to Gethsemane, through His unjust trial and crucifixion, and finally to the empty tomb. The sermon highlights how Jesus declares Himself the true Passover Lamb, embraces the cup of God’s wrath in our place, endures twisted justice and abando...

Following Jesus means trusting Him when the earthly kingdom drives religion sideways, mocks devotion, and threatens our well-being, believing He will uphold and sustain me in a hostile world.

Mark 9:1-10:31 | Listen to Him | Derek Harm

In this message from Redemption Life Fellowship, we continue our expositional journey through Mark by walking through Mark 8:22–9:1 under the title “Seeing in Stages: When Jesus Touches Our Eyes Again.” Beginning with the only two-stage healing in the Gospels and moving through Peter’s confession at Caesarea Philippi and Jesus’ call to take up the cross, this passage shows how Jesus patiently lead...

In this sermon from Redemption Life Fellowship, we continue our series in the Gospel of Mark by walking through Mark 7:1–8:21 under the title “A Heart That Sees Truth.” Through Jesus’ confrontations with religious leaders, His gracious response to a desperate Gentile mother, His healing of a deaf man, and His feeding of four thousand, we see that our clarity about truth is deeply connected to the...

In this sermon from Redemption Life Fellowship, we continue our expositional journey through the Gospel of Mark, exploring Mark 6 under the theme “Clarity Through Difficulty.” Walking through Jesus’ rejection in Nazareth, the sending of the Twelve, the martyrdom of John the Baptist, the feeding of the five thousand, and the storm on the Sea of Galilee, we see how Jesus reveals Himself through reje...

Following Jesus doesn’t always lead us around the hard things in life—sometimes it leads us straight into them. In Mark 4:35–5:43, we watch Jesus lead His disciples into a violent storm, a demon‑possessed stronghold, a desperate father’s crisis, a suffering woman’s shame, and even a little girl’s death. In every scene, just when it feels like the story is over, Jesus steps in with real, lasting pe...

The series theme is "Following Jesus, the Servant-King on the Move," with the big idea that following Him means trusting who He is and obeying what He says right where we are. Before any "Follow Me," Mark urges us to answer: Who is He? Today's title highlights Jesus' kingdom as calm, steady, and growing—not loud, dramatic, or forced like worldly power, but quietly conqu...

Jesus shows up and flips expectations—calling the unlikely, bringing real joy, giving true rest, and healing on His terms. Mark 2-3 reminds us: following Him means trusting Him right where we are, even when it shakes what feels safe. #FollowingJesus #DivineDisruption #RLFGreenville #RedemptionLifeFellowship #GospelLife #ServantKing

Are you merely amazed by Jesus... or ready to truly follow Him?  In this message from our new series "Following Jesus – The Servant-King on the Move!", we dive into Mark 1:21–2:12 and discover how Jesus reveals His divine authority in everyday life—confronting evil in the synagogue, healing in ordinary homes, depending on the Father in solitude, touching the untouchable, and boldly forgi...

Discover how Jesus calls ordinary fishermen to immediate obedience with a simple yet profound invitation: "Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men." Mark's fast-paced Gospel, written for persecuted believers, strips away extra details to spotlight one urgent truth—Jesus is Lord and worthy of our trust and allegiance right now, even when we don't see the full picture...

In the opening sermon of the series Following Jesus: The Servant-King on the Move, we launch into Mark’s fast-moving Gospel, showing how God breaks into history suddenly and decisively through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Rather than waiting for ideal conditions, God interrupts routines with John’s call to repentance, Jesus’ humble identification in baptism, the Father’s affirming voice, and the...

This sermon explores the profound sense of distance many experience during the Christmas season—whether physical separation from cherished places, emotional or relational gaps with loved ones, or the deepest longing felt when God seems far away. Drawing on Luke 2:8-21, it highlights how the birth of Jesus dramatically breaks a 400-year silence from God, as angels announce the Savior's arrival...

In this Advent message from Luke 2:1-16, RLF Elder Dave Whitaker reminds us that the angels’ announcement wasn’t just cute Christmas-pageant material—it was terrifying glory breaking into a fearful world. The heart of the good news is simple and life-changing: God did not send a coach, a second chance, or more rules; He sent a Savior, Christ the Lord. This gospel is not for people who do enough—it...

From a Roman prison, Paul penned the most joy-saturated letter in the New Testament, proving that true joy is not rooted in circumstances but in the all-sufficiency of Christ. Reviewing the book chapter-by-chapter, the pastor highlighted how Paul’s chains advanced the gospel, how Jesus’ humility in Philippians 2 becomes the pattern for every believer, how every earthly achievement is rubbish compa...

How can a man in prison overflow with joy and declare, “I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need”? In the closing words of Philippians, Paul reveals the life-changing truth that true contentment, generous living, and unshakable confidence are never found in changing circumstances—but in an all-sufficient Savior. In this message, we unpack three gospel realities tha...

In Philippians 4:1-9, Paul (from prison) shows us how to get off the anxiety roller-coaster and live grounded in Christ. Instead of dragging everyone around us through our worry, conflict, and need for control, we can rejoice always, pray about everything, and think on what is true — because Jesus is near, He is good, and He is enough.

www.rlf.church In Philippians 3:17-21, Paul urges believers to run the Christian race together by imitating faithful examples, rejecting those whose lives oppose the cross, and fixing their hope on heavenly citizenship. With tearful warning, he contrasts self-centered impostors—driven by appetite, shame, and earthly focus—against the church’s true identity as a colony of heaven awaiting Christ’s r...

Visit us online at rlf.church In Philippians 3:12-16, Paul admits he hasn’t arrived at perfection but presses on with one focus: forgetting the past and straining toward the prize of knowing Christ fully. The world’s “shiny things”—comfort, achievements, approval—promise joy but deliver brokenness. Maturity isn’t flawlessness; it’s daily dependence on the Holy Spirit to reveal distorted thinking a...

In this sermon, we dive into Philippians 3:1-11, unpacking Paul’s radical shift in perspective: counting everything as loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. From spiritual résumés to rewritten balance sheets, discover how grace flips our ideas of gain and loss—and why true joy is found not in what we achieve for God, but in what we receive from Him. Perfect for your commute, wor...

Join us at Redemption Life Fellowship for this powerful message from Philippians 2:12-18, where we explore Paul's call to allow what God has worked in His children through Jesus' finished work in the Gospel to work outward revaling Christ in everything we do and say, cancel complaining with gratitude, and cling to the Word with joyful perseverance—all powered by God's energizing work w...

In this passage from Philippians 2:5-11, often referred to as the "hymn of Christ," Paul inverts worldly notions of success. Our culture obsesses over climbing higher, but Jesus shows that true glory comes through humility. Because Jesus humbled Himself to death on the cross, God exalted Him above all. We are called to adopt Christ's mindset of humility, follow His example of descent...

On September 14, 2025, at Redemption Life Fellowship, Derek Harn delivered a sermon titled "Worthy of the Gospel" from Philippians 1:27-30, as part of the series "In Everything…Rejoice!". Drawing from Paul’s letter written in a Roman prison, Harm emphasized that living worthy of the gospel means reflecting its value through unity, courage, and hope, rather than earning it. He h...
