Redeemer Fellowship Mid-Week

The third, and hopefully, final podcast on the topic of head coverings. While the previous podcasts were a good place to start, we wanted a single resource that clearly and comprehensively explains where we now stand and why.

In this episode, we're going to do three things. First, we'll carefully walk through 1 Corinthians 11. Second, we'll address the major objections to the transcultural interpretation. Third, we'll finish with practical pastoral application.

My goal in this updated podcast is to think carefully about what Paul teaches, why he teaches it, and what it means for our gathered worship before God, Christ, and the angels. While I will address the practice of head coverings itself, the focus of this podcast is actually broader — the focus is on rightly ordered worship. 

“Are Christians required to tithe? Should they give more than 10%?” What if we’ve been asking the wrong questions? Let’s talk about it.

Join the elders of Redeemer and their wives for a follow up conversation on the topic of head coverings. We explain how we came to our conclusions on the matter and what it means for our church practically.

Join Mason as he reflects on the topic of holiness in the Sermon on the Mount.

Join Mason for a rather lengthy look at Isaiah 50:1 from our reading plan this week as he asks the question, did God really divorce Judah and Israel?

Join Mason for an overview of how to read the music in your hymnal! This isn't a semester long music theory course, but it hopefully gives you the basic skills you need to sing confidently with the saints on the Lord's Day.

Romans 9-11 is one of the most debated sections of Scripture. In this episode, we take a big-picture, covenantal look at Paul's argument, focusing on the relationship between Israel and the Church, the unity of Jew and Gentile in Christ, and how God's promises are fulfilled in the New Covenant. We’ll explore key themes like election, the Remnant, "all Israel,” and the historical backdrop of AD 70 — showing how these chapters fit within the larger story of Romans and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, join Mason as he surveys the four major Christian views of Communion—transubstantiation, consubstantiation, the memorial view, and the Reformed view of spiritual (real) presence. After briefly explaining each position, he unpacks the Reformed Baptist understanding of the Lord’s Supper as taught in the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession.

Rather than mere remembrance, Communion is a true means of grace in which believers, by faith and through the Holy Spirit, spiritually partake of Christ. This episode explains why the Lord’s Table holds a central place in weekly worship at Redeemer Fellowship and why something real is happening when God’s people gather to eat and drink together.

In this episode, we explore the historical origins of Advent wreaths and candles, why the Reformed tradition has often rejected their use, and how we at Redeemer are trying to have a more balanced, biblically faithful approach to them.

This coming Sunday we will be confronted with Gehenna or the hell of fire. What is it? Let’s define our terms.
