In this powerful sermon, Pastor Jonathan Galvan addresses the weight of a broken world and the urgent need for repentance, emphasizing that true repentance involves recognizing sin, grieving over it, turning away, confessing, and rejoicing in God's forgiveness through Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 7, he contrasts godly sorrow, which leads to salvation, with worldly sorrow, urging believers to embrace a life transformed by the gospel.

The Book of Acts is the second of a two-part work by Luke, the traveling companion and co-laborer of the apostle Paul. The first part of Luke's writings, Gospel of Luke, tells us all that Jesus began to do and teach. The second part, the Book of Acts, tells us what the risen and ascended Jesus continues to do through His church by the power of the Holy Spirit. The testimony of what Christ did in the early church is not only for our encouragement but also our instruction as we seek to be faithful to the mission of proclaiming the gospel and multiplying disciples.

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/
"I have you in my heart." I'm sure you can say that about some people in your life. But could you say it about everyone in the church? In his opening to the letter Philippians, the Apostle Paul says that he loves them all in this way. What created such love and affection? Paul's relationship with them was rooted in the gospel.
Today we will be looking at some fascinating end times prophecies and how we are called to live out the reality of those prophecies practically. Gospel centered living is the goal of all last days or end times teaching, regardless of what one's particular position is on the timing of the Rapture and Second Coming of Jesus Christ.Let me be very clear that the timing of the Rapture is not a matter of one's salvation. However, while the goal of all end times teaching should be on gospel centered living and biblical stewardship of the gifts and talents that God has entrusted unto us, that does not mean that specific last days details of events as taught by Jesus in Matthew 24 and laid out before us this morning by the apostle Paul are unimportant or insignificant.My devotional today will be directed towards how belief in those prophetic realities are meant to be lived out practically. Paul, under the inspiration The Holy Spirit writes, "Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work." ( 2 Thess 2:16,17).The practical application of this chapter on prophecy is found in Paul's prayer for them. And what did he pray for them? That their hearts would be comforted, and that they would be established or fixed in every good word and work. God's love and grace for us through faith in Jesus Christ is the basis of our comfort and hope.Note once again that our comfort is an everlasting one, and our hope in Christ is good and is through the grace of God. As we throughout Scripture, every aspect of our salvation comes from the grace of God, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is Himself the Author and Finisher of our faith.Our loving heavenly Father, in His grace, gives us through Christ what we do not deserve; likewise, God in His mercy does not give us what we do deserve! This grace and mercy of God is meant to encourage our hearts and strengthen us in every good action and word. Do you see what God is telling us?The “correct interpretation” of end time prophetic teaching will be gospel centered, fruit bearing living for the glory of God. If our walk contradicts what the Scriptures teach about how we are called to live lives of holiness and purity in light of Christ imminent return, then it simply means that we have not understood the point to begin with!One way that we contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints is by putting it into practice. We are called to be both defenders and demonstrators of the faith. One commentator put it this way: Lazarus did not have to give lectures on the reality of the resurrection, his life proved that to be true.May both our words and our works be gospel centered manifestations of the reality of The Lordship of Jesus Christ in our lives and fellowship. SELAH
9.7.25 | Romans 12:2How faithful are we to God and His Gospel?Sometimes it is tough to do so and we end up looking more like the world than we do Jesus. Romans 12:2 says , “So not be conformed to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Let's be transformed by remaining faithful to God and His Gospel and practicing solitude - being in His presence!
Sometimes the Spirit's work doesn't come in the spectacular, but in the interruptions we'd rather ignore. In Acts 3, Peter and John are on their way to pray when they stop for a lame man at the temple gate. What follows is both a miraculous healing and a bold witness to Jesus. Kara Moses helps us see that the Spirit still prompts ordinary people today—nudging us to pay attention, to say yes, and to trust God with the outcome. This week's message invites us to loosen our grip on our plans and practice Spirit-led availability, because you never know what God might do through a simple act of obedience.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Pastor Luke Wolfe Jonah 1:1-16 A sermon of Rocky Mountain Community Church, PCA in Billings, MT (8/24/2025)
Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday
In this sermon from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, Pastor Josh Gatewood explores the biblical command to love your neighbor as yourself, drawing from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

1 Peter #9 - 1 Peter 3:7: Gospel-Centered HUSBANDS by City|U Lubbock
In this episode, Pastor Jason explores Acts chapter 6 and the remarkable growth of the early New Testament church. Discover how the outpouring of the Holy Spirit led ordinary people to boldly share the gospel, resulting in explosive growth—and unique challenges. As the church multiplied, so did its growing pains: needs were overlooked, complaints arose, and leaders faced critical decisions about how to care for the body while staying focused on the ministry of the Word. Pastor Jason draws parallels between the early church's crossroads and the challenges facing Redeemer today, reminding us that healthy things grow—and growth brings both excitement and difficulty. Learn how the antidote to grumbling is engagement in the mission, and why spiritual nourishment through God's Word is essential for every believer.

For the mamas who just want to raise their kids WELL in Christ, today, we're talking about being a Gospel mom. I'm joined by Laura Wifler—wife, mama, writer, podcaster, and co-founder of the global nonprofit Risen Motherhood. Laura's new book, cowritten with Emily Jensen, Gospel Mom, is for moms longing to live a Christ-centered life in the midst of messy, mundane motherhood. We dive deep into: What it really means to be a Gospel-centered mom How to tune out the noise of parenting advice and tune into truth Why the “little years” of motherhood are not “lost years”—and how God is at work in them Letting go of the “what if” and living faithfully in the “what is” Encouragement for weary moms navigating comparison, unmet expectations, and daily overwhelm Laura reminds us that our value doesn't come from how productive or perfect we are—but from being rooted in Jesus and resting in His grace.

In this keynote from TGC's 2009 National Conference, K. Edward Copeland examines 2 Timothy 3:1–9 to address the dangers of self-centeredness, superficial godliness, and a diluted gospel in the last days. He warns that misdirected love—where people prioritize themselves over God—will infiltrate even the church, leading to a form of religion that lacks true power. Copeland calls pastors to reject performance-based ministry and instead faithfully proclaim the truth of the gospel through the power of the Holy Spirit.
What does it mean to be gospel-centered? What does a life that is centered on the gospel look like?

With the election of Pope Leo XIV—Cardinal Robert Prevost, the first American-born Pope—believers across all denominations are reminded of the biblical call to pray for leaders in high positions. In today’s devotional, Kyle Norman encourages us to set aside doctrinal differences and lift up this influential spiritual leader in prayer. Whether Catholic or Protestant, we are invited to pray for the Pope’s faith, humility, and boldness in gospel-centered leadership. Themes Explored: The biblical mandate to pray for leaders Unity in Christ beyond denominational lines The Pope’s global spiritual influence Temptations in ministry and the need for prayer A heart for gospel proclamation Scripture Reference 1 Timothy 2:1-2 “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.”
