Church Matters

Gabe and Riley discuss a topic that comes up all the time in the life of the church and in pastoral ministry: Assurance of Salvation. How do we know that we really are saved? When doubt crops up in our lives, what do we cling to to remind ourselves of that fact?

In this episode Gabe, Jerod and Riley discuss the Cultural Mandate from Genesis 1:26-28. If this mandate applies to us today, as we will argue that it does, how does that affect how we live? What is culture and how should we as Christians seeking to live faithful Christian lives relate to culture?

Today we get to hear about the specific school and model Redeemer is partnering with in the Fall Trinity Classical Christian Academy. Troy and Lauren Schneringer are joining us to talk about the history of the school and what’s coming up for Redeemer and Trinity.

In the first episode in this series we discussed why Redeemer is getting into education. In this episode we are joined by Dr. Greg Forrest, the Head of School at Summit classical Christian School to discuss why we have chosen the Classical Christian education model. 

In the fall Redeemer is hosting Trinity Classical Christian Academy. We believe it's important to be involved in education. In this first of three in a series, we will discuss why Redeemer is running a school and why we think Education is an important part of the long term discipleship of the church, and the area. 

Gabe and Riley discuss Christian Nationalism. What is it? Should Christians be for it or against it?

You may have heard the term “Gospel-Centered” before. Although it has kind of fallen out of fashion we still describe ourselves as a Gospel centered church. Today we’ll talk about what gospel centrality means and how you can recognize it in our church and others. 

How do we think about Church size? Are smaller churches always better? Are larger churches just machines for celebrity and platforms? Let's think about the size of the church and how it affects our ministry and fellowship.

In this episode, Gabe and Riley talk about the Gospel. We often talk about the gospel, but we seldom go through the process of defining it and talking about what the Gospel is and what the gospel means. Today we will do just that, and we hope that after listening, you would be equipped to explain to anyone just what you mean when you say, believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
