In this powerful sermon from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, the pastor explores Acts 10:1-33, where God orchestrates a divine encounter between the apostle Peter and Cornelius, a devout Roman centurion. Through visions—an angel to Cornelius and a sheet of unclean animals to Peter—God reveals that the gospel is for everyone, breaking down barriers between Jews and Gentiles, declaring that what God has made clean should not be called common. This pivotal moment marks the explosive spread of the gospel to all nations, emphasizing that every person is unclean due to sin but can be truly cleansed only through faith in Jesus Christ.

What is the “American Interim” — and is the Church compromising its identity?In this episode of LEAD TIME, Pastor Tim Ahlman sits down with Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Kloha (Dean for the Center for Missional & Pastoral Leadership) to thoughtfully respond to Rev. Karl Hess's presentation, “Pastoring Under the American Interim.”See the video here:http://youtube.com/watch?v=0IizshrQn9ETogether they explore:- What is a Lutheran hermeneutic?- Is Enlightenment liberalism replacing Christianity?- Is equality a false god?- Did the Church surrender during COVID?- How should Christians think about slavery in Scripture?- Are we soaking in secular assumptions without realizing it?Rather than reacting emotionally, this conversation returns again and again to the central question:How do we interpret Scripture faithfully in our cultural moment?Dr. Kloha reminds us that our context may look less like 16th-century Europe and more like the world of the New Testament — pluralistic, politically complex, and spiritually contested.And in that world, what did the apostles do?They preached Christ.This episode is not about winning political arguments.It's about guarding the gospel.It's about understanding narrative vs. prescription in Scripture.It's about loving neighbor while remaining faithful to Christ.If you've wrestled with these tensions in your congregation, this conversation will equip you with clarity, charity, and courage.Stay up to date by Joining the LCMS Current!

In this powerful sermon from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, Pastor Josh Gatewood highlights in Act 9:32-43 how Jesus consistently calls, heals, and uses people whom society overlooks, doubts, or disqualifies. Throughout Scripture, Jesus moves toward the unlikely—sinners, outsiders, the broken, and the ordinary—not because of their qualifications, but because of His grace and purpose. God's kingdom advances not through human strength or status, but through surrendered hearts willing to respond in faith. The message encourages listeners to see themselves through Jesus' eyes rather than their past, failures, or labels. No one is too far gone, too weak, or too insignificant for God to use. When Jesus calls, He doesn't wait for perfection—He invites obedience, and He does the transforming work along the way.

Send a textWhen a student walked into the office during the pandemic asking whether his father would live long enough for a transplant, it exposed a gap many youth pastors feel but rarely name: we can teach Scripture and organize programs, but do we know how to shepherd teenagers when fear, grief, and uncertainty overwhelm them?We sit down with Dr. Randy Jackson to talk about a gospel-shaped approach to soul care that equips parents as the primary shapers of a teen's faith. We trace his journey from a pandemic crisis to building a practical framework that deepens conversations at home and in small groups and why equipping parents remains the most strategic work in student ministry.This episode offers practical tools for youth pastors, volunteers, and parents who want to move beyond behavior management and into Christ-centered care for the inner lives of teenagers.

Biblical Counseling Africa: Equipping the Church for Gospel-Centered Care in South Africa and BeyondRecorded on the road at the Biblical Counseling Coalition Global Summit, this Speak the Truth podcast episode features interviews with Kyle Johnston and Jane Kratz from Cape Town, South Africa, about their ministry contexts and the growth of Biblical Counseling Africa. Jane shares how her husband's death in 2012 led her to pursue a theologically rich approach to grief and loss, moving from prior psychology studies to biblical counseling training through ABC's Equipped to Counsel material and later studying at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with additional church experience in Texas before returning to South Africa. Kyle, an ordained minister at Gracefield Church in Fish Hoek, explains how pastoral ministry exposed a gap between confident pulpit preaching and applying Scripture in complex, conversational counseling situations; this led him to training through Wayne Mack's curriculum in South Africa and a master's degree at The Master's University in Los Angeles (2012), while continuing to prioritize pastoral care and counseling in church life.They discuss why they remain committed to serving in Africa despite opportunities elsewhere, noting both the significant needs in Cape Town and South Africa and the mission field created by migration from other African nations. They describe cultural observations, including hospitality and the value of contextual ministry shaped by South Africa's historical experience, including navigating multicultural ministry after apartheid.Kyle outlines how Biblical Counseling Africa began in part to make CCEF training more accessible and affordable in their context and to expand beyond South Africa through online courses. The organization's aim is to equip local churches across Africa to provide wise, loving, gospel-centered pastoral care that restores Christ to counseling. They describe a three-level approach: (1) grassroots seminars, talks, and workshops (including using ABC conference resources with local case studies and courses such as Jane's nine-week grief care course); (2) training such as ABC's Equipped to Counsel offered during COVID and in-person; and (3) advanced CCEF courses, with growing enrollment. Future focus includes helping pastors develop a church-wide culture of care, vulnerability, and mutual ministry beyond sermon-centered expectations.They explain that Biblical Counseling Africa is a nonprofit and invite listeners to support the work through prayer, financial giving, and volunteering. They emphasize the need for resources to sustain operations, relieve volunteer load, and provide scholarships for students from poorer African contexts. They express gratitude for support from American partners including CCEF, ABC, BCC, and others, noting that courses are offered at about a quarter of the normal cost, and direct listeners to biblicalcounsellingafrica.com for more information and contact.00:00 Welcome to Speak the Truth (Podcast Intro)01:09 Meet Jane: From Grief & Loss to Biblical Counseling02:30 Texas Culture Shock & Accent Stories03:39 Meet Kyle: Pastoral Ministry Path into Counseling06:12 Why Stay & Serve in Africa?

In this powerful sermon from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, Pastor Jason Hatch unpacks Acts 8:26-40, recounting Philip's Spirit-led encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch on a desert road. Through the eunuch's humble search for truth in Isaiah 53, Philip explains how Jesus fulfills the prophecy as the suffering servant who died for our sins, leading to the man's genuine conversion, immediate baptism, and joyful departure—potentially carrying the gospel to Africa. This story highlights God's sovereign power in salvation, the marks of true conversion, and the call for believers to boldly share Jesus with searching hearts.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

1 Samuel 17:1-11, 41-51

This sermon centers on the biblical principle of leveraging one's circumstances, rights, and privileges for the advancement of the gospel, illustrated through the lives of Timothy and Paul in Acts 16. Timothy willingly set aside his right to remain uncircumcised—despite the Jerusalem Council's decree—out of love for the Jewish people, demonstrating how Christian freedom must be exercised in service to others. Paul, unjustly imprisoned and beaten, refrained from asserting his Roman citizenship immediately, choosing instead to endure suffering and pray aloud, thereby creating a captive audience for the gospel; later, he strategically used his citizenship to protect the church and secure their safe departure. The preacher emphasizes that true Christian stewardship is not about rejecting privilege but about using it wisely and sacrificially for God's glory, transforming everyday activities—from eating and commuting to parenting and work—into acts of worship. Ultimately, the message calls believers to view every aspect of life as sacred and to live not for self but for Christ, who Himself laid aside His divine privileges to redeem humanity, urging a life of intentional, kingdom-focused leverage in all things.

In this powerful sermon from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, Pastor Josh Gatewood explores Acts chapter 8, where persecution scatters believers, leading Philip to proclaim Jesus in Samaria—breaking down deep ethnic and cultural barriers—with signs, healings, and great joy following. The message contrasts Saul (later Paul) the persecutor turned apostle, ordinary disciple Philip, and Simon the sorcerer who sought the Holy Spirit's power for personal gain rather than true surrender to Jesus, highlighting how the gospel unites diverse people, exposes false spirituality, and calls believers to love enemies, proclaim Christ amid opposition, and prioritize the person of Jesus over mere power.

In this special 10-year anniversary sermon, Pastor Jason Hatch of Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, reflects on God's faithfulness in planting and growing a gospel-centered community. Drawing from Jeremiah 29 and 2 Corinthians 2, he unpacks why Christians are called to be "for the city"—seeking its welfare, spreading the aroma of Christ through faithful words and deeds, and living as exiles who actively redeem their surroundings for God's glory rather than withdrawing.

This Sunday, as we gathered virtually due to the winter storm, Pastor Nate encouraged our church family with a timely message from Philippians 4:4–9. Even in disrupted circumstances, we were reminded that God's Word remains steady and speaks clearly into our everyday lives.Pastor Nate challenged us to build a pathway to gospel-centered thinking, a deliberate way of shaping our thoughts and responses as we navigate daily rhythms and unexpected trials. From this passage, he highlighted six guiding words that help anchor our hearts and minds in Christ:Joy – Choosing to rejoice in the Lord, not based on circumstances, but on who He is.Trust – Resting in God's faithfulness and sovereignty, even when situations feel uncertain.Prayer – Bringing every concern to God with gratitude, trusting Him to meet us there.Peace – Experiencing the guarding peace of God that surpasses understanding.Focus – Intentionally setting our minds on what is true, honorable, right, pure, and praiseworthy.Practice – Living out what we have learned and received, allowing our faith to be active and visible.This devotional reminded us that gospel-centered thinking does not happen by accident—it is formed through daily choices to rejoice, pray, think rightly, and faithfully walk with the Lord. Even while physically apart, we were encouraged to remain spiritually grounded, trusting God to guide us with His peace as we put these truths into practice.

This sermon from Pastor Josh Gatewood at Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, powerfully explores why worldly success, fame, and achievements—like those of Johnny Manziel and Jim Carrey—ultimately leave us empty, as our hearts were made for Jesus alone. Drawing from the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20, he calls believers to embrace Jesus' mission of making disciples of all nations through following Him wholeheartedly, overcoming barriers like sin, selfishness, setbacks, success, and suffering by surrendering everything to Christ. With encouragement to pursue authentic discipleship in community, the message inspires us in 2026 to live as a gospel-centered people who find true fulfillment in joining Jesus' eternal work.

Mission and Vision 2026 Gospel Centered Community Christ Church Kingwood January 11, 2026 Preacher: Patrick Wimberly

In this powerful sermon from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, Pastor Jason explores Ephesians 2:19, reminding believers that the gospel not only reconciles us vertically to God as our Father but also horizontally unites us into a new family—the church. Addressing the ongoing loneliness epidemic in America (with recent reports showing over half of adults feeling lonely and its health impacts rivaling smoking), he emphasizes that we were made for more: deep, gospel-centered community through loving, serving, encouraging, stirring up, and showing hospitality to one another.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

On this episode of This vs. That, we sit down with Jared Wilson to explore the tension between gospel-centered and issue-driven ministry. We ask whether gospel centeredness was just another evangelical trend or if it remains essential to the DNA of healthy Christians and churches.Jared breaks down what gospel-centered ministry actually means—centering on Christ in Scripture, trusting grace for heart-level change, and finding our validation in Christ's performance rather than our own. In contrast, issue-driven ministry hinges its hope for change on cultural topics or headlines rather than the announcement of the gospel.We discuss why some have moved away from gospel centrality, exploring concerns about pragmatism and the temptation to lean on other approaches when change seems slow. Jared offers practical wisdom on how to recognize when we've drifted from gospel-centered ministry—often it starts when the gospel begins to feel perfunctory or less interesting than the cultural issue of the day.Throughout our conversation, we grapple with how to keep the gospel central when cultural issues demand our attention, and how to avoid treating the gospel like an empty Trojan rabbit—something we've forgotten to include in our ministry altogether.

Modern Conservatism is collapsing, and it isn't because of the Left. It's because the Right has abandoned biblical order, biblical loyalty, and biblical leadership.In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm examining how our so-called conservative leaders have traded Christianity for political convenience, elevating foreign loyalties, unbiblical theology, and female authority over God's clearly established design. When prominent figures openly choose Judaism over Christianity and Israel over America, we must ask: What exactly are we conserving anymore?Scripture is clear: Christianity is a patriarchy with God as its Head, Christ as King, and men called to lead in righteousness. A movement that rejects this order will inevitably rot from the inside out.This episode is a call to return to:Christ over cultureFaith over foreign allegianceGod's elect over globalist prioritiesBiblical men over platformed female personalitiesIf Conservatism wants to survive, it must first repent.--https://www.bible.com/

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm discussing my changing views on Israel, Donald Trump, and Candace Owens and why principles grounded in Scripture must always matter more than personalities.I'll discuss how easy it is to get swept up in political figures, influencers, and movements… all while forgetting that God alone is who we should be following. The devil is just like a stalker prowling around, watching, scheming, seeking someone to devour. And in these chaotic times, he's using deception, manipulation, and emotional brainwashing to pull people into confusion and ultimately into Hell.In this episode, we're talking about how the synagogue of Satan is operating openly today, pushing narratives meant to distract and divide. I am urging my listeners to stay anchored in the Word, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to be seduced by personalities, platforms, or “conservative celebrities” who very well may not be aligned with God's truth.Ultimately, we all need to return to the Bible (now more than ever) and to guard our minds and souls as the days grow darker and darker.--https://www.bible.com/

Discover why Jesus is the true and better Moses in this powerful message from Redeemer Church's “True & Better” series. Pastor Jason Hatch shows how Moses — the great prophet, liberator, provider, leader, intercessor, and healer — was only a shadow pointing to the greater reality fulfilled in Christ, who perfectly liberates us from sin, death, and Satan, and offers eternal life to all who look to Him. If you've ever wondered how the Old Testament connects to Jesus, this sermon will open your eyes to the beauty of the gospel.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.
