Redemption Christian Church

The New Testament letter of 1 Peter is from the disciple Peter to five churches. It says those who persevere in faith while suffering persecution should be full of hope for the future and enjoy God’s saving promises here and now through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Peter teaches how to live as strangers and sojourners in this world. A sojourner is a person who resides temporarily in a place, a temporary resident, traveler, or stranger rather than a permanent inhabitant. Peter reminds the churches — and us — of our true citizenship in God's Kingdom.

In his letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul writes, "O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?" In such few words, Paul manages to encapsulate the hope behind what we celebrate at Easter. The resurrected Jesus is the only name that saves and resurrects. This gives us hope for today and tomorrow.

In every moment of our lives, we face decisions with small and large repercussions. Each of us faces a decision to take one road or another. What path will we take? Do we make those decisions with the confidence of Jesus being with us, or travel on our own strength? We must move from a place of unease to a place of declaration.

Get your favorite team's jersey/apparel and invite some family and friends for a fun day worshipping Jesus together.This year, we'll have a unique feel during our sermon time when each campus will have five people taking five minutes each to break down one essential passage of Scripture in a sermon we're calling "Five for Five."

A sailboat on the water is at the mercy of the wind. To move forward towards a desired direction, one must raise a sail to capture the wind's power. In the same way, individual believers and God's church must raise our sails to catch the proverbial wind of the Holy Spirit's direction. Our faith cannot be passive, we must be active in raising the sails with our time, our talents, and our treasures. Where are we going? Why does it matter? What does it look like when one life is shaped by The Holy Spirit?

A look back at the grace shown to Redemption in 2025, and a look ahead to a new year of loving God, loving people, and seeing Him change the world.

We love to tell stories. From an early verbal tradition to today's books, television, social media reels, and movies, we continue to weave tales designed to help us understand life, laugh at ourselves, and appreciate beauty. The stories we tell reflect God's storytelling character. His epic story of redeeming humanity is the greatest one ever told. At Christmas, we remember this narrative in myriad forms.From Nov. 30 to Dec. 21, we will explore how the larger themes in several popular Christmas movies point us to God's truth — the ultimate true story — in our sermon series "Christmas At The Movies."

On Sunday evening, Dec. 21, all Redemption campuses gathered for "Glow," a special Christmas worship gathering to celebrate God putting on flesh and becoming as one of us. Jesus' birth illuminated a dark and dying world. How can we reflect that light in the darkness?Two teaching moments from the night are shared here.
