Sermon Audio - Redeemer

No figure in human history has impacted the world more profoundly than Jesus. He spoke with undeniable authority, extended love to the marginalized, healed the sick, performed astonishing miracles, and challenged the corrupt powers of his era. Despite the sheer beauty of his perfect life, he was condemned and crucified. The central claim of Christianity is that his death on a Roman cross was a substitutionary sacrifice for sin, and his subsequent resurrection from the dead is the irrefutable proof of his lordship. In this series, we will reflect deeply on Jesus's life and ministry to see that Jesus is not just a historical figure, but is God in the flesh – the supreme treasure of our lives and worthy of our worship. He is not only true, but better and more beautiful than anything this world has to offer.

The Book of Esther is a unique book of the Bible. God's name is never mentioned. You won't find miraculous events like parting seas or burning bushes. Instead, the story plunges us into the darkness of the Persian Empire, featuring a volatile king, a genocidal plot, and two ordinary people, Mordecai and Esther, caught in the crossfire. In this context, God seems distant, and his people appear abandoned. However, as the book unfolds, we discover that God's silence is not a sign of His absence; we see many "coincidences" that are actually the signs of His divine providence, and we see how he uses the faithfulness of ordinary individuals to ultimately achieve His purposes. The Book of Esther reveals the surprising nature of the gospel's work. It serves as a guide for the church today, showing us how to live a life of faithful devotion to Jesus in the present world.

The book of Revelation is not a coded timetable, nor a speculative map of the end-times. It is a letter written by the Apostle John to first-century Christians living in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). It aims to bring encouragement and hope to disciples of Jesus living in turbulent times. As G.K. Beale puts it, “Revelation is the Bible's battle cry of victory.” Through dramatic symbols drawn from the Old Testament, Revelation equips the church with the heavenly perspective needed to persevere in faith until the end. In this series, we will see:-Jesus rules from the throne.-The church is spiritually protected even as it suffers.-Evil is judged and defeated.-God's mission advances through the witness of His people.-The Lamb will return to renew creation and dwell with His people forever.Revelation calls the church not to fear, but to faithful endurance, confident that the Lamb is victorious and His victory is ours.

This Sunday, we will step out of Revelation for one week, and into Ephesians 6!

During Advent, the Church slows down to remember and rejoice in the coming of Christ —  both His first coming in Bethlehem and His promised return in glory. For centuries, the Church has sung the story of Jesus through hymns that carry deep theology and rich worship. In this series, we will explore four beloved Christmas hymns, discovering how each one proclaims a different facet of the gospel story. Our prayer is that this series (and these songs) will help us to see the wonder of Christ who brings hope, peace, joy, and love.

Jesus' disciples observed the vibrant and connected life with God that Jesus lived, a life clearly fueled by his times spent in prayer. Inspired by what they witnessed, they asked, "Lord, teach us to pray." What we now call the Lord's Prayer was Jesus' response, offered as a template for prayer to his first disciples. Perhaps you learned the Lord's Prayer in your youth, or perhaps you've prayed it occasionally before a sporting event, or maybe you have no prior experience with prayer at all. Regardless, this series aims to guide you in cultivating a life with God through the practice of prayer.
