Redemption Community Church

What generation do you belong to? Are you a Boomer, a Gen-X, a Millennial, a Gen-Z, or Gen Alpha? (Wait, did you even know there was such a thing as Gen Alpha? Yep, there is.) 

Whatever generation you are a part of you have an obligation to "Help The Next Gen Win." Yes, even the participation trophy generations and the Tide pod generation. (Also, as you will see, those two accusations aren't fair assessments of those generations. Promise.)   

What would the church look like if people in different generations were filled with grace and generosity for the people outside their generation rather than judgment and frustration? In Wk 1 we will wrestle with the question, what qualifies us to "Help The Next Gen Win"?

We all have a "More Monster" inside of us. It growls and groans from the depths of our being. It attaches to our souls. It has an insatiable appetite for "more". More car. More house. More spouse. More vacation. More entertainment. More. More. More. How do we defeat that monster? And how do we honor God at the same time?

What do these things have in common?  

These are all temptations that we often struggle with. How should we deal with temptations? Should we just give in to them? Are they worth fighting? If they are worth fighting, why are they worth fighting? What do we gain from slugging it out with temptation? 

We think temptations ARE worth fighting and in this video Pastor Cory will give three ways to resist temptation and a vision of what hangs in the balance of that very fight. 

🎶 Let me tell you ‘bout my best friend 🎶   Do you have a best friend? A good friend is like gold. I’m not talking Facebook friends. I’m talking ride-or-die friends. Friends like that are hard to come by.   So how do we find those friends? And how do we become that kind of friend for someone else? What does God have to say about friendship? Let’s find out tonight.

What if you were Marty McFly and you could go into the past with Doc Brown to warn yourself of future roadblocks and pitfalls to avoid?   Obviously that wouldn’t work because Elon Musk hasn’t mass produced his time machine yet. (You KNOW he has invented one!) Even though you can’t go into the past to warn yourself for your future, you CAN start now and develop a better future.   In this 5 week series starting today we are talking about creating changes in our life that our future self will thank us for. Today we talk about habits. What are you in the habit of doing?

We all hear about heaven, and last week as a church we talked about how heaven is more than clouds and harps. But, how does the hope of future heaven change me today? Join us as we explore how the renewing, restoring, renovating, life-giving power that God the Father will one day use to recreate the world is placed directly into the hearts of those who follow Jesus by the Holy Spirit... bringing heaven into the here and now.

Are we turning into cherubs? Will we float on clouds all day playing harps? Do we get to chill out and do nothing forever? Is the earth going to be destroyed?   We’ve been looking at what the Bible has to say about eternity and this week we’re diving into the incredible reality of eternity! You are not going to want to miss this. It’s the best news ever - and it’s what you were made for. Join us tonight to hear what the Bible has to say about heaven and eternity.

Hell. It’s used as a curse word in our culture more than it’s recognized as a concept or location anymore. But why is that? Why has the idea of a literal Hell become less and less popular? And furthermore, what is Hell?   When you picture Hell do you see a comic Satan with horns, cloven feet, a pointed tail, and a pitch fork ready to throw a red themed party filled with the world’s favorite sins for eternity? If so, you’re probably in the majority.   If you follow Jesus or you’re thinking about it, you may be curious what he had to say. Did Jesus ever talk about Hell? If so, what did Jesus say about Hell? Join in this week to find out.

What happens after your last breath? After your last brainwave? After the blood stops flowing? Kind of a dark question, but one we all have to face eventually. So... what happens next?   In this four-week series starting this weekend, we'll unpack questions around the Christian belief of what will happen after we die, God, Satan, the angels, Heaven, Hell, and God's heroic journey to save us and make all things new.

Ever have the jealous monster creep up inside you? It comes with a jealous grumble from the pit of your stomach. It normally happens when you see her IG photos, his new sports car, or their fancy vacation. Don’t you hate that? What if Jesus wants to free you from that comparison trap? Because there is no win in comparison. Tune in to learn two practical ways you can overcome jealousy.
