Redemption Church Sermons

We were so thrilled and blessed to have our friend, Pastor Mike Dsane, from The Village Church, with us this past weekend at Redemption. What a great reminder of what it looks like to have a proper vision of the Lord which will in turn give us a proper vision for our church. Mike's heart for Jesus and his gift in passionately proclaiming God's Word is sure to bring encouragement to you as you listen. Share with others this great message from Isaiah 6.

A God-Sized Calling Requires God-Given Courage. When God calls you to something, and He may be calling you to something today, it will always require courage. Will we follow and go where God asks us to go? In this message, we pray you'll be encouraged by the tools from God's Word that remind you of why we can trust our amazing God.

On this special day when we installed our first elder board, it's important to remember that our elders will be keeping the main thing the main thing here at Redemption. The hope of the gospel is where our eyes should always be fixed.

The final message in our Stand Strong series. We trust you've been encouraged and equipped throughout this series to put on the whole armor of God in your fight against the enemy. You're not alone in the battle. You are loved.

The armor of God is a call to submission. God is not requesting that we wear his armor but He is commanding us to wear his armor. Submission is active surrender to the greatness of Jesus, for the glory of Jesus, to experience the joy of Jesus.

We need to be reminded that grace is not of us. God’s powerful grace enables a powerful faith. Grace makes faith possible but faith makes victory possible. A strong faith is proof of a strong understanding of grace.  We need the shield of faith to believe the promises of God and embrace the protection that comes from Jesus vs our enemy.

To take the Gospel with you requires you to have the Gospel in you...

What does it mean to have the Gospel in you? It means that you have a position of peace that has been provided freely to you by the death and resurrection of Jesus. What does it mean to take the Gospel with you?  It means you are a proclaimer of the peace that God has given you.   You cannot proclaim the Gospel if you don’t have peace with God!

In Rom 1:16-17 Paul challenges believers with sharing boldly the gospel of Jesus Christ. He recognized that days would come when this could be an extremely difficult task for believers. In an effort to encourage believers hearts until Christ' return, he lays out three reasons that all believers, including himself, can hold firm the message they have been given and truly live unashamed.

The Gospel enables you to stand strong in righteousness!  What does this mean?  We know it is not referring to manufactured righteousness.  The scriptures makes it clear that even our good deeds are like filthy rags to the Lord.  It also doesn’t mean positional righteousness.  Positional righteousness is the act of God justifying sinners.   To stand strong in righteousness refers to practical righteousness.  Practical righteousness is all about obedience.  We can stand strong in the position that Jesus provides by being obedience to who He is and embracing what He has done for us.

The Gospel enables us to stand strong in the truth.  To stand strong in truth we must know the truth, believe the truth and live the truth.  We must believe God’s Word to be the final authority in our lives. We must believe the truth of the Gospel and we must live what we say we believe.  In our battle with the flesh and the devil, we must find the courage to celebrate our victories.  We must find a way to celebrate the times that we stood strong in truth.
