What happens when a culture - or a heart- begins to suppress the truth? This week Pastor Kevin unpacks the warnings found in Romans 1 regarding the spiritual and societal consequences of turning away from God's reality. We will explore how to remain mindful of our choices so that we can live in goodness of Spirit rather than the shadows of modern distraction. Passage Romans 1:18-23

Week 3 of Life 2.0 answers the question: How do we live the new life Jesus gives us? While many people try to follow Jesus through sheer willpower, the Christian life was never meant to be lived that way. Through resurrection, God gives believers His Holy Spirit, whose power raised Jesus from the dead and now lives within His followers. The Spirit convicts us of sin, guides us into truth, and produces new character in our lives as we walk with Him. Rather than trying harder, we learn to keep in step with the Spirit by inviting His leadership, noticing His guidance, and following His promptings in everyday moments. Because of the resurrection, new life is not only forgiven—it is powered and led by the Holy Spirit. Passage: Romans 8:11-14; John 16:8-9, 13-14; Galatians 5:16-17 Speaker: David Wyman

Many people think Christianity is about becoming a better version of themselves, but the resurrection offers something far greater than self-improvement. In Romans 6 and Colossians 3, Paul explains that when we trust Jesus, we are united with Him in His death and resurrection: the old life defined by sin dies, and a new life begins. Because of this new identity, we no longer have to hide or manage the mistakes of the past; we can lay them down and begin living differently. New life begins when the old life ends, and that new life starts when we trust Jesus as our Forgiver and Leader. Passage: Romans 6:1-4, 6-7 & Colossians 2: 20, 3:1 & 5-11 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

Many people define themselves by their careers, relationships, appearance, or abilities, but these aspects of identity are fundamentally unstable because they can change or be lost. Real identity is not determined by what we do or what others say about us. The Bible teaches that our true identity is grounded in what God has done and what He says about us. Join us as we explore what God declares about our identity to discover our truest selves. Sermon Description: Who are you? You are not defined by what others say about you, or even by what you think about yourself. You are who God says you are. For those who made Jesus their forgiver and leader, God says you are not a slave to your desires, you are free, and you are His child. Join us as we discover what that means and how you can step into who you really are. Passage: Romans 8:12-17 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

In Romans 1, Paul exposes the root issue beneath sin: not just bad behavior, but dishonor. Humanity did not simply disobey — we exchanged. We traded the glory of the Creator for created things. And when God loses His rightful weight in our lives, something else always takes His place.In this message, Phil Martinez explores what it truly means to honor God. Biblically, honor carries the idea of weight — to treat God as significant, essential, and first. When we treat Him as light, optional, or secondary, our thinking becomes distorted and our hearts grow dark. But when we restore His rightful place, everything changes.This sermon is both a mirror and an invitation. Where has God become optional? What carries the most weight in your decisions — His Word, your feelings, culture, success, comfort? Honor begins in humility. It shows up in worship, obedience, generosity, suffering, and everyday life.God is not looking for perfect people — He is looking for surrendered hearts.Today is an opportunity to reverse the exchange. To give God back the weight He deserves. To honor Him not just with our lips, but with our lives.Passage: Romans 1:18–25

Advent is a time of great anticipation as we await the Christ-child entering our world at Christmas. This year, through the imagination of C.S. Lewis and his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, join us on Sunday mornings as we uncover the story of the birth of Christ in a new way. Among all the Pevensie children, Edmund is unique. He is duped by the White Witch, enslaved by her promises and judicious giftings of Turkish delight. He struggles to know what is true. He turns on his siblings and endangers all of Narnia. And then he is found, redeemed, and returned to service as a soon-to-be-King of Narnia. This week, Evan Gratz discusses how at this time of year, when we set aside what we have been and work to set new patterns and habits for the new year, Edmund's story might inspire all of us to seek forgiveness, redemption, and new work as a part of Christ's kingdom.

PASSAGE: Romans 15:22-29 OUTLINE: 1. Have The Right Mindset 2. Have The Right Priorities 3. Have The Right Plan The post Stewarding The Future first appeared on Redeemer Bible Church.
Romans 8 invites us into a profound meditation on suffering, creation, and the hope of glory that awaits us. We discover that suffering isn't something God overlooks—it's actually a tool He uses to shape us into mature believers who reflect His image. Like a silversmith heating silver until he can see his reflection in it, God allows trials to remove the impurities in our lives. The passage reveals something remarkable: all of creation is groaning alongside us, waiting for redemption. From the moment sin entered the world in Genesis 3, the ground was cursed with thorns and thistles, and decay became part of our reality. But creation hasn't given up hope. The seas, rivers, trees, and mountains all long for Christ's return when everything will be made new. Even the darkness at Christ's crucifixion and the earthquake that split rocks testified to creation's recognition of its Creator. We're challenged to examine whether we share creation's eager longing for Christ's return, or whether we've become so comfortable with our earthly blessings that we've lost our heavenly focus. The promise is breathtaking: God will replace every thorn with a cypress, every briar with a myrtle. He's making all things new, and our suffering is producing an eternal weight of glory beyond comparison.**Sermon Notes:****Introduction:**- Passage: Romans 8:17-25.- Central theme: The role of suffering in Christian maturity and the hope of future glory.**Key Themes:**1. **Suffering and Growth:** - Suffering is universal and disliked but essential for Christian growth. - Suffering isn't elective; it's a part of spiritual maturation. - Personal anecdote: Grandson's struggle during a hike symbolizes how suffering can lead to growth.2. **Comfort and Complacency:** - Modern comfort can lead to spiritual complacency. - Reference to Revelation 3:14 (Laodicean church): They are lukewarm due to self-sufficiency and lack of spiritual hunger. - Importance of recognizing need for God amid comfort.3. **Creation's Groaning:** - Creation itself suffers due to sin and longs for redemption. - Examples of nature's subjugation: thorns, decay, and futility. - Biblical references: Genesis 3 (curse of the ground), and Isaiah's prophecy of renewal.4. **God's Sovereignty Over Nature:** - God controls and commands creation. - Examples: Darkness at Jesus' crucifixion, God stopping time for Joshua. - Nature worships God through its existence and awaits His return.5. **Hope of Redemption:** - Believers are like creation, groaning for relief and renewal. - Hope is anchored in God's promise of a new heaven and earth (Revelation 21).6. **Practical Implications:** - Self-reflection on spiritual readiness and eagerness for Christ's return. - Challenge to embrace suffering as a path to spiritual growth.**Practical Applications:**1. **Embrace Suffering:** - View personal hardships as opportunities for spiritual growth. - Reflect on how challenges can refine character and increase reliance on God.2. **Combat Complacency:** - Evaluate areas of life where comfort may have led to spiritual stagnation. - Foster a genuine hunger for God through scripture and prayer.3. **Focus on Eternal Hope:** - Regularly meditate on the promises of a renewed creation and eternal life. - Shift perspective from earthly concerns to heavenly expectations.**Discussion Questions:**1. How has a specific period of suffering or hardship contributed to your spiritual growth?2. In what areas might comfort be hindering your spiritual zeal or dependence on God?3. How do you maintain hope and patience while waiting for the fulfillment of God's promises?4. In what ways can you remind yourself and others that this world is not our ultimate home?5. How do you actively prepare your heart and mind for Christ's return amidst the distractions of everyday life?By focusing on these themes and applications, we strive to not only understand the biblical text but also integrate its teachings into our daily lives, reinforcing our hope in Christ's imminent return and the inherent growth found through life's challenges.
