This weekend, we welcomed back Pastor Josh Whitlow. A lot has happened since his family relocated to Arizona to launch Purpose Church. In just two years, they’ve already seen over 300 come to faith in Christ and 130 baptized! We’ve been cheering them on from afar, and we’re thrilled to have him back with us to bring a powerful message on prayer.As we step into Church Week, this message challenges, encourages, and reminds us that when we call out to God like a child running to a loving father, something truly powerful is released. Let’s look at Acts 12 to see what can happen when the church prays!Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In the 7th week of Christ Over All, we turn to Colossians 3:1-11. Here, in part 1 of my message, A Christ-Honoring Life, Paul begins to describe the kind of life that flows from being redeemed by, made alive in, and set free in Christ. We are called to something greater and are given three Christ-exalting commands that shape this new way of living. Today, we’ll look at the first two. We’ll explore the third in the second part of this message in two weeks.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 6 of our "Christ Over All" series, we turn to Colossians 2:16-23, where Paul challenges us to live in the freedom Christ has won for us. He warns against slipping into legalism, spiritual elitism, and man-made religion—reminding us that true transformation comes through Christ alone.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In week 5 of our current series, Christ Over All, we examine Colossians 2:9-15. Here, Paul offers a simple yet beautiful reminder of what happens when we invite Christ into our lives as our Lord and Savior. As Pastor Steven walks us through it, he highlights four important points to consider as we examine what it truly means to be Alive in Christ.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

It’s likely you’ve had a loved one taken captive by philosophy and empty deceit —lies often disguised by other names. In Week 4 of our "Christ Over All" series, Steven walks us through Colossians 2:6-8 to highlight the enemy’s process, describes in detail some specific philosophies (lies) that are used, and then outlines a path we can take to fight against them by making sure that our roots are growing deeply in Christ, not in the world, so that we aren't taken captive.

Last week, in our series, Christ Over All, we were reminded that because Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, and the Creator in whom all things work together, we should then worship and work for Him, and worry less. In week 3, we focus more on how we work for Christ. What role do we play in working toward His mission of making Himpreeminent and reconciling all things back to Him?Christ works through His church. Steven preached on “Dangerous Churches” from this passage at our ClearTruth Conference this Spring. The world needs dangerous churches —churches committed to post-denominationalism that combat the Spirit of the Age and produce partners in the Gospel. Let’s look at our text.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Last week, we concluded our discussion with the beauty of the Gospel — how we’ve been delivered, transferred, and qualified—through Redemption (a buyback). Picking up in verses 15-23, we learn the who and how —Jesus! Today, we examine three descriptions of Him and explore three ways we can apply that knowledge.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

We begin our new series, Christ Over All, studying the book of Colossians.This week, we delve into the first 14 verses of Chapter 1 to see that whenthe clear truth of the Gospel takes root in a local church, it transformseverything—our identity in Christ, our community, and our mission—producing fruit, fueling growth, and inspiring gospel-driven action.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

At the start of the year, Steven preached on “How to Take a Promised Land” from Joshua 1. Today’s message is a follow-up on how to avoid losing it. In today’s text, Israel faces unexpected defeat despite God’s promise of victory. Joshua is stunned. Maybe you’ve been there too—on your journey of redemption, holding onto God’s promises, when things suddenly go wrong. Why? That’s the question we’re exploring. One potential reason: hidden sin can stall forward movement.

What does it mean to live a truly blessed life? In Deut. 28:1–14, God outlines the incredible blessings that follow a life of faithful obedience to His Word. In week 4 of A Series of Sermons, we explore the covenantal promise of blessing —not just for ancient Israel, but for all who faithfully obey God, in Christ, today.
