Redemption Church Sermons

The Gospel enables us to stand strong in our identity!  The first thing we are told in the armor of God text is to be strong in the Lord. What does it mean to be strong in the Lord?  It means to stand in the Lord, stand to resist the devil and stand against our sin.  We must speak the truth of who we are to the devil and our flesh.  We must declare that we belong to Jesus!

These closing verses in Ephesians highlight once again the glorious truth of the gospel. We are encouraged to remember the way we now live, the gospel we daily need and the love we are to continually have. The gospel that has been REVEALED to you is a gospel that is to be REPEATED through you. As this book ends, it ends with this encouragement, “NEVER STOP LOVING JESUS…”

Right gospel relationships follow right gospel thinking. That's the big idea for this message and in we are challenged to be humble, live lives of surrender and to show the love of Jesus to others. We trust you'll be challenged to allow the gospel to reign fully in your lives...even in your relationships.

Who you work for is more important than the work you do. We get to decide who will be exalted through our work. Either we will exalt Jesus through our work or we will exalt ourselves through our work. You will work for His purpose and His glory or you will work for your purpose and your glory. One leads to joy the other leads to disappointment. So in light of these truths, who will get the glory through the way you work? Big questions pertaining to a big topic. Praying you're encouraged and challenged as you listen and watch this message from God's Word.

What does it mean to be Gospel-centered parents?    You must be anchored right in your love for Jesus, in your love for your spouse and your love for your kids. We saw that being gospel- centered parents has everything to do with your relationship with Jesus.  Paul writes about parenting after he establishes who Jesus is and what Jesus has done. He talks about parenting after he establishes what the church is and how its supposed to function.  He talks about parenting after he has established the beauty of the marriage relationship. Gospel centered parents must have the right foundation and remembering how the marriage and the church is supposed to function will help us parent the right way.

In this message we see the amazing faith of a woman named Hannah. We saw that a faithful woman is a praying woman! How do you become a praying woman, man, student? When you trust in Jesus through faith, when you exalt Jesus in faith and when you rejoice in Jesus because of faith. Prayer is communication with God for the sake of communion with God. Prayer is a constant struggle that we as believers in Jesus battle but your prayer life reveals how dependent upon Jesus you truly are.

In our final message of our "I Do" series, we see that husbands are called to love their wives like Jesus loves the church. A heart loved is a heart that loves. You can only love your wife how God calls you to if you have embraced his love for you! Jesus gives each man the perfect pattern of how to love your wife. The love of Jesus was selfless, sacrificial and sanctifying!

From Ephesians 5 we see that a heart submitted is a heart committed! God’s strategy for a Gospel centered marriage starts with your submission to Jesus and ends with your commitment to your spouse. Every Gospel centered marriage has two great forgivers because it contains two great sinners.

In this passage we learn that God's design is always best as it related to marriage. We search the scripture to see what God's vision is for marriage and why marriage exists. Does your vision for marriage line up with God's vision for marriage?

In this text we are reminded that there is a clear way to walk with and for Jesus. We do this not out of religious duty, but rather out of a heart full of gratitude for all that Jesus has done. Our daily walk with Jesus depends on daily grace from Jesus. In light of that truth, we pray you are encouraged by this message from Ephesians 5.
