Redemption Church - Perrysburg

Salvation is God's work in us—but it should become evident in how we live. Philippians 2 challenges us to work out what God has worked in, allowing Him to transform our desires and priorities.

Everyone is invited to experience redemption—but someone has to offer the invitation. In Luke 14, Jesus shares a story to highlight how we're to personally, urgently, and passionately invite others. Once we've experienced redemption, we're called to bring in others to experience it too!

The Church is called to be active, not passive. Nehemiah 2 shows what it takes to rise up and build: courage to confront the problem, faith to embrace God's vision, strength to face opposition, and determination to do our part.

Jesus doesn't call us to stay the same. In Matthew 4:19, He shows us how He develops leaders: a call to follow, a construction as He transforms us, and a cause—reaching people with the Gospel.

Who we surround ourselves with matters. Wise relationships help us build stronger lives, fight the right battles, and stay spiritually healthy—and groups are one of the best places to find and grow those relationships.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 2 of Glory & Honor Applied, 1 Corinthians 3 shows us how God uses ordinary people to accomplish eternal work. Our faithful labor matters and will be rewarded, but only God can produce the growth.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 1 of Glory & Honor Applied, we turn to Philippians 4 to discover the glory of Gospel partnership. When we give, serve, pray, and persevere together, God uses our partnership to advance the Gospel beyond anything we could accomplish alone.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Every generation looks to education, government, politics, technology, or business to change the world. While Christians should be involved in each of these, none of them is what Jesus promised to build. In Matthew, Jesus declared, “I will build my church.” From His ascension until His return, Jesus is building His Church, and He invites each of us to take part.

God's love is not a theory to study, but a glory to know, feel, and be filled by. In Ephesians 3:14-21, Paul shows us the love of Christ is so big that it humbles, defines, fills, and then compels us.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

What makes a nation free — and what keeps it free? In this message, we look at Psalm 33:12 and America's founding to see why liberty cannot survive apart from the God who gives it.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 4 of Glory & Honor, we turn to Ephesians to discover how God's glory moving through the earth empowers the Church to stand against secularism. Jesus tore down divisions to build one unified people, founded on His truth, empowered by His Spirit, and called to be the Church He came to plant.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 3 of our Glory & Honor series, we look at Isaiah 6:1-8 to discover how to get back up after disappointment. When King Uzziah died, Isaiah's world was shaken, but God's throne was not. A fresh vision of God's glory changed everything.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 2 of Glory & Honor, we turn to Hebrews 3:1-6 and discover what it means to truly "consider Jesus." Because of who Christ is and all He has done, believers are called to fix their attention on Him, trust His faithfulness, and be built into a house that reflects His glory.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In week 1 of our new series, Glory & Honor, we look to Psalm 8 tosee that God's glory is revealed in His majestic name, Hisbreathtaking creation, and His sovereign dominion over allthings. Yet in the midst of His greatness, we discover theincredible truth that He cares for us, crowns us with honor, andcalls us to live under His authority and for His glory.

Have you ever wondered what Heaven will really be like? In this message, Pastor Mike explores some of the most common questions people ask about Heaven and what Scripture actually teaches about our eternal future. Looking at Scripture, we'll see that a right understanding of Heaven changes how we live today.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Sloth is more than laziness—it's spiritual apathy. In week 7 of our 7 Deadly Sins series, we look at Proverbs 6:6-11 to see how sloth keeps us from the life God has called us to and pulls us away from purposeful, Gospel-driven, Kingdom-focused living.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Greed isn't simply about making or having money—it's about loving and trusting it more than God. Greed quietly competes for our worship, distorts our desires, and pulls our hearts away from contentment in Christ. The gospel offers freedom found in generosity, contentment, and Kingdom living.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Anger can feel justified in the moment, but man's anger never produces the righteousness of God. This week, we looked at the difference between righteous and sinful anger, what our anger reveals about the heart, and why real change only happens when it's brought to the cross.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Lust is a heart issue. Jesus raises the standard beyond actions to our thoughts, desires, and intentions. What culture normalizes, God calls us to confront. His standard is high, but His grace is real—and freedom is possible.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Gluttony isn't just about food—it's about control. When our appetites start calling the shots, good things can become dangerous. It can look harmless, but over time it dulls our self-control and shifts our focus away from God. The Gospel calls us to something better!Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Envy doesn't just want what others have—it resents them for it. Envy destroys relationships, fuels competition, and quietly hinders growth. It robs us of joy, peace, and purpose, but the Gospel offers something better! Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Luke 18, we see two men approach God—one trusting in his own righteousness, the other pleading for mercy. One leaves justified, the other does not. Pride isolates, compares, and demands. Humility confesses, depends, and receives. The question is simple: whose righteousness are you trusting in?Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

On Good Friday, Jesus declared, “It is finished.” The debt of sin was paid. On Easter Sunday, we see the victory of what was accomplished there fully revealed. In Luke 24, the empty tomb confronts confusion, doubt, and misunderstanding with one simple truth expressed in three simple words: “He has risen.”Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In the final week of our series Indicators: 6 Tests of Spiritual Growth, we ask: Am I becoming increasingly engaged in the church? Looking at 1 Timothy 3, we're reminded that the church is called to be a pillar of truth—and every believer has a role to play. Spiritual maturity isn't just personal—it shows up in how we grow, connect, serve, give, and share within the body of Christ.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 5 of our series Indicators: 6 Tests of Spiritual Growth, we ask: Am I becoming more and more selfless? Looking at Philippians 2, we're called to walk in humility and reflect the selfless love that Christ modeled for us. Maturity occurs when we shift from self-centered living to sacrificial living—loving others, serving faithfully, and trusting God with the outcome.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 4 of our series Indicators: 6 Tests of Spiritual Growth, we ask: Am I becoming increasingly eternally-minded and Kingdom-focused? Looking to Matthew 6:33 and Philippians 3, we're reminded that spiritual maturity reshapes our values. As believers, we press on toward Christ, loosen our grip on earthly priorities, and live in light of our true citizenship in Heaven.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 3 of our series Indicators: 6 Tests of Spiritual Growth, we ask the question: Am I enduring suffering and testing in a godly way? Scripture reminds us that trials are certain, but God uses persecution, pruning, and pain to refine our faith and produce endurance, character, and hope.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 2 of our series Indicators: 6 Tests of Spiritual Growth, we ask the question: Am I bearing the fruit of the Spirit? We walk through John 15 to see that spiritual growth isn't measured by activity alone — it's revealed through Christlike fruit that increases over time.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In our new series Indicators, we're asking one honest question: Am I actually growing spiritually? This week, we begin with Repentance & Holiness: Am I repenting of sin and pursuing holiness? Real growth isn't cheap grace or earned grace — it's Spirit-produced transformation.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Spiritual battles don't wait until you're ready. This week, we finish the Win the War series by learning how peace steadies us, faith shields us, salvation guards our minds, and God's Word drives the enemy back.

In Week 6 of Win the War (in the Spiritual), we begin studying the armor of God by looking at the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness in Ephesians 6:14. Without truth and righteousness firmly in place, the rest is rendered useless.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Win the War (in the Spiritual) | WrestlingSpiritual warfare isn't distant or abstract — it's close, personal, and happening every day. In this message from Ephesians 6:12, we're reminded who the real enemy is, the nature of the battle, and why Christ's victory changes how we stand and fight.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 3 of Win the War (in the spiritual), we explore the schemes Satan uses to try to distract and defeat us, along with the tools and weapons of Truth God has given us to stand firm against them.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In week two of Win the War (in the Spiritual), Pastor Steven walks through Ephesians 6:10-13 to show us God's call for believers to put on His whole armor.

Are we actually in a spiritual war? In this message, Pastor Steven launches Win the War (in the Spiritual) by showing how Scripture reveals both the reality of spiritual conflict and the certainty of Christ's victory.

Walk with us through Ephesians 6:10 as Pastor Steven introduces The Redemption Battle Plan.

This week in A Redemption Family Christmas, Pastor Mike shows how a joyful family honors the past without getting stuck in it. In Ezra 3, some wept while others shouted for joy — but God was laying a new foundation right in front of them. Joy grows when we celebrate what God is doing now and trust Him with what's ahead.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

As we continue in our series, A Redemption Family Christmas, and through the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 6, Steven asks us to reflect on, “What is your family building? What is this church building? What is our nation building?” It takes a courageous leader, like young King Josiah, to reform a family, a church, or a nation. This weekend, we look to 2 Kings 22 and 23 to see how A Restored Family brings forth redemption and reformation.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Our new series will spend the month of December exploring the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1 and the stories behind them to see the kind of family God builds through redemption. It looks a lot like us! A mix of humble, broken, faithful people who are works-in- progress held together by the grace of Jesus. In week 1, we turn tothe book Ruth to see that a godly family is humble.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Today, we had the privilege of welcoming Pastor Rob McCoy, Charlie Kirk's pastor and a leading voice within TPUSA Faith. He brought a powerful and timely message on “The Church and Israel.” In a moment when the world feels increasingly confused, Rob helped us see from Scripture why Truth matters, and why standing with God's purposes is never political—it's biblical. My prayer is that today's message strengthens your hope in God's faithfulness and gives you fresh clarity as you read the Scriptures.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption
