Redemption Church - Ohio

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.

In week three of A Series of Sermons , we t u r n t o Genesis 32:1-12 and see a great return. It’s been nearly 20 years since Jacob left home with nothing but a staff in his hand. He ended up in his Uncle Laban’s household by God's providence. While there, the Lord greatly blessed him.Now, after years of growth in both his family and his wealth, God is calling him back home. Jacob returns to fulfill the promise made to his father, Isaac, and grandfather, Abraham, and to play out his role in God’s redemptive story.

In week 2 of A Series of Sermons, we look to Acts 6:1–7. The early church is experiencing explosive growth—and the real problems that come with it. The issue in this passage is essentially a money and operations problem. At the time, the church had two major groups: the Hebrews and the Hellenists. In modern terms, think “KJV-only Baptists vs. everybody else.” The Hellenist widows were being overlooked in the daily food distribution, and tensionswere rising.The apostles stepped in. They acted quickly and wisely—not just to resolve the immediate conflict, but to create a structure for the future. Their decision in that moment of crisis didn’t just keep the peace—it produced lasting fruit.So what can we learn from this? Here’s the first key question: What should a church do when growth leads to conflict? Second: What role do you play in that solution? And third: What might God do ifwe handle this correctly?
