Redeeming Grace Fellowship

Does it really matter how you worship God? In John 4:16-26, Jesus says what true worship really looks like – it's not just about outward rituals, but about approaching God with a sincere heart, in spirit and in truth. Jesus reveals to the Samaritan woman that he is the Messiah, the one who will bring answers and settle disputes. This passage serves as a powerful reminder that our relationship with God needs to be rooted in genuine knowledge and a heartfelt desire to know him. Listen in and examine your own heart and ensure you're approaching God with authenticity.

In John 4:1-15, Jesus offers living water to a Samaritan woman. But this water is not about quenching physical thirst; it's about receiving the Holy Spirit. And Jesus' encounter reveals a profound truth: we all crave fulfillment, but only He can truly satisfy that deep longing within us. He offers a spring of living water, a constant source of grace and guidance. Are you thirsty for more than just this world can offer? Listen in and hear God's Word.

Do you truly believe Jesus? In John 3:31-36, we are challenged to consider the full testimony of Jesus—not just the parts we find easy or comfortable. Jesus comes from heaven, above all, speaking God's truth and authority. To reject His testimony is to reject God Himself—and the wrath of God remains on those who do not believe. But for those who trust in the Son, eternal life is a certain promise. Faith in Jesus changes everything—not just our words but our lives. Listen in if you want to understand who Jesus really is and why believing Him matters for eternity.

In John 3:22-30, we find that John the Baptist understood his purpose: to point people to Jesus. The focus is on how all ministry should ultimately point to Christ.

Listen in and see how true joy is found when we see Jesus glorified. Are you living to bring glory to God in all you do?

Do we often choose darkness over light? In today's message from John 3:19-21, we explore this challenging reality of human nature.

In John 3:16-18, we discover a profound truth: God's love isn't a feel-good message—it's a rescue mission.

Listen in to today's message as we explore this incredible contrast between life and condemnation and how God's love changes everything.

In John 3:9-15, Jesus reveals a profound truth to Nicodemus: eternal life comes through believing in the Son of Man who must be "lifted up." Just as the Israelites looked to the bronze serpent for healing, we must look to the crucified Christ for salvation. Listen in as we explore this crucial conversation that bridges the Old and New Testaments, pointing us to the heart of the gospel.

In John 3:5-8, Jesus tells Nicodemus something profound: no one enters God's kingdom without being born of water and Spirit. Like the wind that blows where it wishes, God's Spirit works mysteriously but powerfully to bring new life. Without the Spirit's work, there is no salvation - not for religious leaders, not for anyone. Want to hear more about how God's Spirit brings new life? Listen to the full message.

In John 3:1-4, we meet Nicodemus - a religious leader who thought he had it all figured out.

Listen to today's message to understand what it means to be fully known by Christ, and why this truth brings both comfort to believers and a serious warning to those who merely profess faith without evidence.

In today's sermon from John 2:18-22, we explore Jesus's bold claim about destroying and rebuilding the temple. What exactly did He mean?
