Redeemer Rockford Students

Who is your representative? Adam or Christ? One results in death and the other in life. Over the weekend of January 24-26 our students had the privilege of listening to Luke Abendroth preach out of Romans chapter 5 on this topic. The goal of the weekend was to show our young middle schoolers that Christ is so much better than our life of sin in Adam.

What does Jesus mean when he says You must Be Born Again? What is the new birth? Regeneration? Pastor JT in this sermon begins to unpack the deep meaning behind Jesus' words in the text. The hope is that you would come away worshiping God all the more for his grace in making dead sinners alive in Christ.

Luke Abendroth is in town to speak at our Junior High WinterFest. Before we set off for camp I had the opportunity to sit down with him to discuss the topic of his messages from Romans 5, theology, and more.

The new birth or regeneration is the necessary condition to seeing or entering the kingdom of heaven. Are you born again? Nicodemus checked all the christian boxes, he looked like a christian, talked like one, and lived like one yet he was still dead in his sin. He needed to be born again and so do you.

The church today is filled with make believers and believers. The question is what is the difference between the two and how do I know I have genuine faith? Pastor JT Stead preaches out of John 2:23-25 which raises the issue of counterfeit faith. In this sermon 3 marks of counterfeit faith are discussed and contrasted with 3 marks of true saving faith.

Why does Jesus say that unless man is born Aragon he cannot (is unable) to see the kingdom of God? In this sermon Pastor JT Stead explains how the law of God gives us this answer by revealing 3 core truths to us: God's Holiness, Man's Corruption, and God's provision.

Harvest Student Ministry exists to proclaim the gospel in order to present students mature in Christ. We do this by partnering with parents in helping their kids flow Jesus. This last Wednesday we had the privilege of sitting down with Pastor John Dirkse and his wife Betsey to talk about the struggle of parenting kids who face sexual sin and temptation. We hope this audio provides practical biblical wisdom and instruction for you as you continue to raise your kids to be God fearing.

Why do you need Christmas? What is the significance of Christmas for you today? What is so special about this baby named Jesus? In this short sermon Pastor JT Stead reveals from scripture the answers these vital questions that can change your Christmas season.

If only I had... (fill in the blank). The 10th commandments summarizes all the commands by getting to the heart of the matter. This command is all about contentment, which is something we all fail in. So what are the sign of discontentment and how do we obey this command? Pastor JT Stead gives us the biblical answer while also concluding this foundational sermon series on the moral law of God.

Student Ministry Leader Tucker Sommerville preaches on the 9th command "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor". What does this command mean? Can we tame the tongue? Why is it so important for today and are we violating this command? All these questions are answered in God's word as we look at the law and the gospel and their application to us today.
