Sermons Of Redeeming Life Church

What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Josiah shows us how Christ came in power and authority over our biggest fear and our greatest enemy through a message centered on Luke 8:22-56.

What distractions are choking out the spiritual growth in your life right now?  Are you close to Christian things, or are you actually hearing and doing the Word of God?In this week’s message, centered on Luke 8:1-21, Pastor Josiah shows us how Jesus makes it plain that hearing God’s Word always demands a response. This message is a call to examine the soil of your heart. It is time to press past shallow religion, church familiarity, and outward association with Christian things, and determine whether the gospel has truly taken root in your life or not.

How does living on mission relate to our worship of God? How can we as followers of Jesus engage in the great commission in our own community? Through his exposition of Psalm 67:1-7, Missionary Kirk Galster, answered these questions and more as he shared how the good news of the gospel is meant to be shared with everyone we know… including our enemies. Tune into this week’s message to find out how you too can be used by God to advance his kingdom and live on mission right where God has planted you. The harvest is plentiful, but are you prepared to work it?

What does true repentance look like? How often do you need to repent of our sins? How is your love for Christ connected to your understanding of forgiveness? This week we continued our series through Luke’s Gospel as Pastor Alex delivered a sermon centered on Luke 7:36-50, in which he outlined a “Blueprint for Forgiveness.” Join us for this week’s message to find out how true, humble, and heartfelt repentance before Christ can change your life forever!  

Is your heart hardened to the idea of following Christ? Have you counted the cost of rejecting the gospel? This week we continued in our series through Luke’s Gospel as Pastor Alex Trotter delivered a message centered on Luke 7:1-35.

In the conclusion of his sermon in Luke 6, Christ’s attention shifts from how we treat outsiders, to how we treat one another within God’s Kingdom as he calls his people to put down their gavel, show mercy to others and treasure HIS word in their heart! When the storms of life hit, will your faith stand, or will it collapse and reveal an unstable foundation that is powerless to save you?

In Luke 6:12–36, Jesus forms a people for his kingdom and then teaches them how kingdom life works. As Children of the Most High our lives should resemble the love and mercy we’ve received from God our Father. As Christians, Jesus commands us to love our enemies, bless others, pray for those who have hurt us and give freely without demanding payback. Tune into this week’s message and discover how you too can live with mercy and compassion that mirrors the mercy God has shown you in Christ.

How does the new covenant relate to the old covenant? What role does the Sabbath play in the life of 21st Century believers living under the new covenant? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Alex unpacks these questions and more as he delivers a sermon centered on Luke 5:33-6:11, in which he shows that Christ is Lord over the Sabbath and our lives.

Have you ever felt unworthy of God’s grace? Have you ever felt too ashamed to come to Christ with your sins? If so, then this message is for you! In his message, “A Savior For Sinners,” centered on Luke 5:1-32, Pastor Josiah shows us how Jesus came to seek and to save those who are lost or have tried to hide from his presence for fear that they will be rejected or condemned. God’s word tells us that Jesus did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance! Therefore, today is the day to come to Jesus in repentant faith, because he alone has the power to forgive your sins.

How can we know with certainty that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah and long-awaited Savior of mankind? Tune into this week’s message on Luke 4:14-44, as Pastor Josiah lays out the supporting evidence that demands a verdict.

Special Guest, Adam Burrell from Heart Cry Missionary Society shares a message centered on Psalm 67:1-7.

Where are you most tempted to turn the Christian life into “doing more” to regain God’s approval—rather than resting in Christ’s finished victory? In the wilderness, Jesus faces Satan’s temptations and proves Himself faithful where Adam (and, by implication, all of us) failed: He submits to God alone, worships God alone, and trusts God alone. Jesus is the Second Adam, succeeding in our place and securing victory over sin, condemnation, and the accuser! Therefore, the Christian’s confidence is not found in a fresh “to-do list” aimed at earning God’s favor, but in resting in what Christ has already done, and then obeying him out of love and gratitude rather than fear and worry.

In a world chasing after new answers every January, Luke 3:1-20 reminds us that God has already spoken with shocking clarity in real history: he broke centuries of silence through John the Baptist to announce that the Messiah has arrived, judgment is coming, and now is the time to receive the good news, repent from your sins, and unashamedly follow Christ publicly. When the Judge finally separates the wheat from chaff, what will your life reveal about who you truly trusted?

This Sunday we continued in our series through Luke’s Gospel as Pastor Alex delivered a sermon centered on Luke 2:21-52. In his sermon, Pastor Alex explained how Christ’s two natures, his divine nature and his human nature, often referred to as the Hypostatic Union, serve as one of the core doctrines of the Christian faith.

As we examine the story of Christ’s birth in Luke 2, we find that the angels in heaven and the witnesses on earth are rejoicing and praising God because the promised Savior, Christ the Lord, has come into the world to rescue mankind from the wrath of God and grant forgiveness for our sins. Therefore, as people who have been redeemed from our past and forgiven for the sin that has separated us from God, we in turn must submit to Christ as King, proclaim him as our Savior, and worship him as Lord.

Following Christ isn’t about pretending everything is okay; it’s about learning to trust God’s promises even when we can’t see what He is doing.  In his message, “The Dawn of God’s Faithfulness,” Pastor Josiah walks us through Luke 1:39–80 and shows how God breaks 400 years of silence with the births of John the Baptist and Jesus. We watch Mary and Zechariah move from confusion and waiting to Spirit-filled praise as they realize God is fulfilling the promises He made to Abraham and David. Along the way, we connect their story to ours: what it feels like when life is barren, when prayers seem unanswered, when God feels distant. Because God has already kept His biggest promise in Jesus, we can trust Him in the darkest moments of our lives and worship Him even when life seems hopeless.

This Sunday we began a new sermon series through Luke’s Gospel as Pastor Alex preached a message centered on Luke 1:1-38. In his sermon, “A Tale of Two Mothers,” Pastor Alex reminded us that despite the difficulties we face is this life, we can trust that God is always faithful to keep His promises. Since God the Father was faithful to keep the most amazing promise he’s ever made, sending his only son, Jesus Christ to rescue us from our sins, then we can rest assured that the Lord will always care for those who belong to Him and are called by His name.

This week we are concluding our series in the book of Acts as Pastor Alex preaches a sermon centered on Acts 28:11-31. In his sermon, Pastor Alex shows us how, like the Apostle Paul, we too must be faithful to proclaim the gospel to the world. Regardless of how others respond to our gospel call, we must remain steadfast, trusting God for the results.

Join us this week as we continue our series in Acts! In his sermon “Eternal Confidence” centered on Acts 27:1-28:10, Pastor Alex shows us through Paul’s tumultuous journey to Rome how God sovereignly reigns over every trial and in every storm we face in life.  Just as we observe from the Apostle Paul, the best way to endure trials in our own life is to trust in God and place our hope in Him.

What holds you back from boldly sharing the gospel—fear, shame, or something else? In this week’s message, we follow the Apostle Paul as he stands before King Agrippa and Governor Festus, not to defend his innocence, but to boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. God’s word challenges us to see that, like Paul, we too are commissioned by Christ—not just saved from darkness but sent into a dark world with the light of the gospel. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to speak with boldness, even when mocked or misunderstood. And we are called to long for the salvation of others with the same burning desire Paul displayed, regardless of the cost.
