Redemption Community Church

Does your faith life feel weighed down? Could your journey with Christ be more alive and active? What if greed is the problem? Greed can act like an invisible prison so subtle that we often miss it. The good news is that Jesus came to set captives free.

Do you have a list of things that just boil your blood? We all have something that makes us steaming mad. But why do we get so angry? What is it inside us that causes us to be so upset? We've heard it said, "hurt people, hurt people." Does this have something to do with our anger? Tune in this week to learn about your anger and the anger of the world and what God has to say about our anger.

You know that feeling when you've done something wrong, you know it, other people know it, and there's no way to undo it? Guilt.  It's a nasty feeling and a hard thing to shake.   Guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy can all get lodged inside of us and get in the way of our relationship with God and one another.   This weekend we’re tackling the first enemy -guilt - and discovering how to dislodge it from our hearts.

If our church was closed next week, would anyone care? If the church is doing what it’s supposed to do and one day it closes, the community will care. Would the community miss us? How does the community know the church is “For Them?”.

Have you ever walked into the wrong bathroom?  You take two steps in and you instantly know you're in the wrong place. That bathroom was not made for you. Either it has a couch or it has urinals and either one seems completely useless to you.  That's fair because that bathroom wasn't designed with you in mind. It was made for someone else.  Sometimes church can feel like that.  You walk in and you instantly feel out of place. Like everyone else knows something you don't know. It's an unsettling feeling and much like accidentally entering the wrong bathroom, all you want to do is get out and never re-enter.  At Redemption, we can't have that. So we exist for them - the people who don't feel comfortable at church, the ones who don't know the worship songs or the typical order of a worship service. Redemption exists for them for the sake of Jesus. Find out what we mean by that this week and next in our "For Them" series.

Do you ever feel stuck? Like you're in a rut - spiritually, physically, relationally? It's a bad feeling. For some of us, it's a gross feeling. The only thing to help you out when you're stuck is movement. If you're spiritually stuck, how do you start moving? Let's talk about it today. 

Is life giving you lemons? If you’re anything like me, you’d rather throw the lemons away than make lemonade sometimes. Do you feel like quitting? We all have a breaking point. The point when everything is harder than it should be and the normal joys in life are turning gray. Peter, one of the men who followed Jesus throughout his time on Earth, went through this. This feeling of hopelessness transcends culture and time. So what do we do when we feel like quitting? When the walls are crashing in and we are at the end of our rope? Let’s talk about it today.

Have you ever been tired? Like REALLY tired. Like a baby screamed in your ear for 10 hours or you stayed at the library so late there was daylight again when you left? We don't function at our best when we're tired - physically or emotionally. We need a re-charge. We've all been there. When you feel exhausted, overwhelmed with your circumstances, Jesus offers rest to your soul. Tune in today as Danny Moore teaches us how to stay anchored deep when we're tired.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “How did I get here?” You know that feeling… that re-thinking every decision you’ve made feeling. That deep gut regret feeling. What do you do with that feeling? How do you get past those wonderings, the what-ifs, the hurt? Let’s talk about it this week. Join us for the first week of our Anchored Deep series as we dig into healing and redemption.

Does your family have a few stories that get told every holiday gathering? Stories that evolve as the years go along? What are those stories about? They are probably about how big the fish was, the funny fender bender, or how your aunt fell down in front of everyone at your cousin’s soccer game. I’m guessing they aren’t about heavenly things, but what if they were? What stories are you telling in your life?
