Many of us have likely heard the story of Martha and we might like to echo the words of Jesus, “Martha, Martha.” She was impatient, expected others to agree with her priorities, and then threw a pity party when her efforts seemed unnoticed. Yet as a broken hero, she is faithful and helps us learn how to be with Jesus.

The story of Rahab is an incredible one. Her rap sheet includes her being a prostitute, certainly broken, yet she became a faithful follower of God. She becomes a hero in the story because she acts in faith according to the position God had placed her in.

We don’t hear a lot about Joseph in the Bible, but as Jesus’ earthly father, he’s an important character. His rap sheet? He lost young Jesus. But through Joseph’s blunder, we learn how to always do what is right according to God’s plan, even when the future seems murky.

Worship our newborn king at Redeemer on Christmas Eve!

Jesus’ very presence on this earth as true God and true man is a reminder of how He will never leave us or forsake us. In fact, His promise throughout Scripture is that he is “with us always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)

We go through many struggles and storms in life, but when they inevitably come, we don’t need to doubt the presence of God. He is always with us, even and especially at the worst times.

Join us for this special service for the season of Advent as we rejoice that Jesus brightens our lives through his birth, dispelling the darkness of sin to bring forgiveness to light.

Even when we feel all alone, God is with us, and He gives us hope. In this week’s message, we’ll talk about how we can find peace in Him even when we feel like we’re stranded in the wilderness.

God is with us, even when we’re at our lowest point. This week, see how He’s beside us in the valley as we start our new message series.

Jesus has given us every second we have on this earth, but so often we just make ourselves busy seeing our busyness as a symbol of our productivity or worth. Jesus desires that we manage our time well so there is always time for His Kingdom and for others.
