Today also marks the final week of our summer series, Reads a Classic, where we've reflected on the wisdom of enduring voices in the Christian tradition. We've learned from Hildegard of Bingen, Brother Lawrence, and Dallas Willard. And today, Jeremy explores the profound legacy of Walter Brueggemann, who passed away just weeks ago.As one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of our time, Brueggemann taught us how to read the scriptures not just for what they say, but for what they imagine—how they invite us to resist empires, lament honestly, and hope boldly.In this teaching, we explore:

At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs.

In this week's special episode of our S5 Reads a Classic series, we dive into the enduring wisdom of philosopher and spiritual teacher Dallas Willard. Join us as we explore his vision of Christian spiritual formation, the kingdom of God, and the slow, transformative work of grace in our lives.Whether you're new to Willard or returning to his work with fresh eyes, this sermon will challenge and encourage you to rethink discipleship not as mere behavior modification, but as inner transformation rooted in the love of Jesus.

Horizon Community Church - Philadelphia

We continue our series in the book of Matthew and look at Jesus' invitation to pick up our crosses and follow him. This week's discussion questions are below: Discussion Questions: 1. Peter rebukes Jesus for predicting his death. Why do you think Peter reacted so strongly? Have you ever resisted God's plan because it didn't match your expectations? 2. Jesus calls Peter a “stumbling block.” In what ways can our good intentions actually hinder the work of God in our lives or others? J3. esus says we must deny ourselves and take up our cross. What does that mean in practical terms in your daily life—relationships, work, time, priorities? 4. Dallas Willard talks about carrying a cross as “cutting us off from normal human existence.” What parts of your “normal” life do you find hard to let go of? What do you want more than becoming like Jesus? 5. Jesus warns that it's possible to gain the whole world and still forfeit your soul. What does “gaining the world” look like today? 6. Jesus says some would see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. How does understanding the resurrection and ascension as the beginning of Jesus' reign shape the way you live today? 7. How does the image of Jesus as the King who dies for his people challenge our assumptions about power, success, and leadership? 8. What would it look like this week for you to live as a disciple who's taken up their cross? Is there something you need to lay down, or something you need to take up

What is self-control? Is it trying through blood, sweat, and tears to make ourselves miserable? Maybe not. Maybe, a miserable life of constant resistance isn't a God shaped life. The Apostle Paul calls self-control the final fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5), not because it's least important, but perhaps because (maybe) it takes the longest to grow. At its core, self-control is about spiritual renovation. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

If most people were asked to describe God, they probably wouldn't use the word “joyful.” But that is exactly who and what God is! There is a great Christian thinker by the name of G.K Chesterton. As he is reflecting on the joy that children can have, he says this, “We have sinned and grown old and Our Father is younger than we.” His point is this: While we have grown old and tired and jaded and cynical, God has not. While we have spent our days overwhelmed, irritated, angry and stressed out, God knows none of those things. When he says that our Father is younger than we, he is referring to God's sheer joy. One of my favorite authors is Dallas Willard. Here is what he said about God's joy. “You'll not understand God until you understand this about Him, God is the happiest being in the universe.” In fact, the reason that joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit is because God himself is joy, and He will share that joy with anyone who would abide in His Son.

Gary Haugen has seen the darkest things imaginable. He's spent decades fighting human traffickers, corrupt governments, and mobs that enslave men, women, and children to sell them for sex and profit. But he's not one bit cynical. As president of International Justice Mission, Haugen has worked to abolish modern-day slavery and to put the bad guys in jail while building the kind of institutions that ensure people are never treated that way again.   In this episode, Russell and Haugen discuss the objection that “justice issues” distract from the gospel. They also talk about how people can know whether God is calling them to some area of justice and mercy and about how those who are doing this kind of work can keep from burnout or despair. Haugen quoted from C. S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters: “Despair is a greater sin than any of the sins which provoke it.” He talks about how he learned from the writings of Dallas Willard and others the kinds of spiritual disciplines he needs to stay grounded and hopeful. The two also talk about going to church 13 times a week, the complex psychology of an oppressor, the power of art and music to move us to action, practical steps toward seeking justice, and of course, Wendell Berry.

The global Church is changing—but are our prayers keeping up with its needs? In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Mandryk, editor of Operation World, joins us for a thought-provoking conversation on the role of strategic, Spirit-led intercession in the age of global change. From his personal calling into prayer mobilization to the intersection of data, mission, and worship, Jason helps us reimagine prayer not as an obligation but as a joyful, global act of partnership with God. We explore current global trends shaping the Church, the challenges of Western influence, and why now more than ever, believers must pray with insight.

At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the 1700th anniversary of the creed and its place in the modern church.
