Awe and Wonder: Part 1 - Pastor Andrew DamazioThis week, we start a new series called Awe and Wonder for the month of December as we open the book of Matthew and reflect on the humanity of Jesus through His genealogy—seeing how God brings beauty from broken stories, keeps His promises across generations, and invites us to rest in the good news of what He has already done.Want to connect more with Rose Church?

In this message, Pastor Andrew encourages believers to move beyond the commercialized hustle of the season and prioritize the true purpose of Christmas: focusing on the person of Christ. He distinguishes that while the holiday may be cultural, the miracle is biblical, reminding listeners that this is a powerful season to receive the miracle they need. The essential focus is the "spirit in Christmas," emphasizing that the Holy Spirit initiated the miracle of Jesus's birth, causing the Holy One to be born and called the Son of God, as the power of the Highest overshadowed Mary (Luke 1:35). The Holy Spirit also reveals who Jesus truly is, moving the devout Simeon to recognize the child as the Lord's Christ and the salvation prepared for all people (Luke 2:25-30). Ultimately, the Spirit's work makes it possible for us to be reunited to God the Father and be transformed from slaves into sons and heirs of God through Christ (Galatians 4:6-7). This Christmas season, we are challenged to seek "more Christ" and ensure that our hearts reflect the light and glory of the Savior of the world.

Freedom Fighters | John 8:31–36 | Walking in the Liberty Christ Purchased In this powerful message, “Freedom Fighters,” Pastor Andrew Eldridge takes us deep into John 8:31–36, revealing Jesus' call for believers to walk in true spiritual liberty—not someday in heaven, but here and now. Many Christians quote “the truth shall make you free,” but Jesus teaches that freedom begins with continuing in His Word (v.31). Before truth sets us free, we must first abide—remain in, dwell in, and live by the Word of God. Freedom is not accidental; it is the fruit of discipleship. Using the powerful illustration of the American Revolution freedom fighters, Pastor Andrew reminds us that liberty is never won by passivity. Freedom must be pursued. Jesus—the ultimate Freedom Fighter—organized, strategized, sacrificed, and secured our victory on the cross. Now He calls us to stand fast in the liberty He purchased (Galatians 5:1). Throughout this message, we explore:

Pastor Andrew emphasizes the significance of Advent and the birth of Jesus as the promised Savior. He shares his struggle to stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas amidst life's chaos and encourages the audience not to miss Jesus during this season. The message highlights the incarnation of Christ, explaining that He came as a baby through the Holy Spirit to reconcile humanity with God. Pastor Andrew urges everyone, whether they are long-time Christians or skeptics, to seek a genuine relationship with Jesus and not to overlook His significance during Christmas.

1 Cor 3:5-11 Pastor Andrew continues his study in 1 Corinthians. This week we consider what it means to serve in the church and how God views our service.

This week Pastor Chris joins us again to bring the message as Pastor Andrew is away. He asks a simple question for us all to think about but this time dealing with the future! Luke 6:12-13 NKJV. Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

Pastor Andrew encourages us from Psalm 107 as we give thanks to our great unchanging God.

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess. 5:18, NKJV) In this message, Pastor Andrew unpacks what it really means to live with a spirit of thanksgiving — not just one week in November, but every day of the believer's life. Scripture calls us to something far deeper than seasonal gratitude: a lifestyle where thanksgiving becomes the posture of our hearts, no matter what is happening around us. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Colossians 3:15–17; 4:2, Ephesians 5:19–20, Habakkuk 3:17–18, and Jonah 2, we explore:

Sermon description: Pastor Andrew's message, A Lasting Legacy, explores what it truly means to leave a legacy that outlives us—a legacy rooted not in accomplishments, wealth, or recognition, but in the eternal impact we make on the people around us. 

Many believers today live caught between two extremes—sinless perfection on one side and greasy grace on the other. Both distort the gospel and leave Christians confused, insecure, or exhausted by performance-based religion. But Scripture gives us a better way. In this message, Pastor Andrew looks deeply at Paul's words in Philippians 2:12–13, where he calls us to “work out” what God Himself is working in us. You'll discover the freedom that comes when holiness is understood not as human effort, but as Spirit-empowered transformation. We confront the fears that plague many believers: • “What if I sin and don't realize it?” • “What if I'm not good enough?” • “What if God is disappointed in me?” We also expose the bondage of legalism: • The idea that you must maintain your salvation through performance • The fear that God withdraws whenever you stumble • The belief that weakness means God is finished with you And we confront the imbalance of cheap grace that ignores sanctification altogether. Through Scripture, we walk through: • Why struggle does not mean you're lost • What it truly means to be “perfect” as Jesus commanded • The difference between reverent fear and terror • Why believers should not live afraid of hell • How grace not only saves—but keeps, teaches, enables, and transforms • How the Holy Spirit causes us to walk in obedience • Why spiritual maturity—not flawlessness—is God's goal for your life Above all, you'll be reminded of this truth: The God who began the good work in you will complete it. This message is for the believer who wants clarity… for the struggling Christian who feels unworthy… for the weary saint trapped in legalism… and for anyone longing to walk in grace, assurance, and Spirit-empowered holiness. If God started it, God will sustain it—and God will finish it. Subscribe for more messages of hope, truth, and Spirit-filled teaching. Like, comment, and share to spread the Word!

This week Pastor Chris joins us to bring the message as Pastor Andrew is away. He asks a simple question for us all to think about. Matt 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

In this message, Pastor Andrew begins a vital new series that will carry us all the way to Christmas: Growing in Knowing. This first message — “The God You Know” — lays the foundation for what may be one of the most important studies our church has walked through. In Colossians 1:9–10, Paul prays that believers would be “filled with the knowledge of His will… increasing in the knowledge of God.” That prayer reveals a stunning truth: it is possible to believe in God, attend church, and even serve — and still not truly know Him. In this message, Pastor Andrew confronts one of the greatest crises of the modern church:

The Living Word of God (2025-11-16) Live Sunday Morning Service with Pastor Andrew Hutchinson

The Living Word of God (2025-11-16) Live Sunday Morning Service with Pastor Andrew Hutchinson

This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that we should always be ready for whatever comes our way! Acts 21:13 Then Paul answered, “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

In his message on Genesis 27, Pastor Andrew highlights how God accomplishes His plan despite the deceptive schemes of man. He illustrates how Isaac, Rebekah, and Jacob's deceitful actions to gain what they desired ultimately ruined relationships within the family, leading to hatred and discord. Despite these human failings and unrighteousness, God's sovereign will, as prophesied in Genesis 25:23, for the older to serve the younger, was still fulfilled through Jacob. Pastor Andrew emphasizes that while deception never truly succeeds and always finds you out, God's perfect plan continues, offering comfort to the anxious, sinful, and righteous. The message concludes with a call to repent from deceit and embrace a life of selflessness and truth found through Christ.

1 Cor 3:1-4 We all know what it looks like for a baby to grow, learn to eat, learn to walk, and just develop in general. But what does it look like for a Christian to grow? And what could hinder that growth? Pastor Andrew answers those questions as he continues his study in 1 Corinthians.

Dive into the breathtaking covenant heart of biblical marriage. Pastor Andrew Coleman describes Genesis 2:24's call to leave, cleave, and become one flesh; this mirrors God's unbreakable vow to Israel (Hosea 2:19–20; Jeremiah 31:31–34) and finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ the Bridegroom (Ephesians 5:31–32; Revelation 19:6–9). Trace pre-Fall truths, Old Testament symbols like the bride price and ketubah, and see marriage as sacred covenant, not contract. Witness divine faithfulness triumph over human failure; the church is forever united to the Lamb, hearts transformed and promises sealed by Christ's blood (Luke 22:20). Watch now and let this divine blueprint ignite your understanding of redemption and eternal oneness. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_ae28df739a204b7ea33782be5dd88efc.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_6a65d7d5d3dc4bea8f88ba01c2342a4f.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Join us for the next part in our sermon series where Pastor Andrew teaches on the importance of partnering with the Lord in our creativity so that we can help reach and redeem the culture. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

“So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.” — Ezekiel 22:30 (NKJV) In this powerful message, “Standing in the Gap,” Pastor Andrew dives into God's heartbreaking search for an intercessor — someone willing to step into the breach and contend for a people, a generation, and a nation. From the Hebrew word perets (breach, break, gap), we learn that a “gap” in Scripture represents vulnerability and spiritual exposure. Where there is a breach, the enemy finds access. But God's heart is always restoration — to repair the breach, rebuild the ruins, and restore what has fallen (Isaiah 58:12; Amos 9:11). In this message we explore:

In tonight's message, Pastor Andrew explores Genesis 25:19-34, highlighting the themes of God's involvement in our lives and our vulnerability during times of weakness. He recounts the story of Isaac and Rebekah, who faced 20 years of barrenness before their twin sons, Esau and Jacob, were born. The passage illustrates how God hears our prayers and acts in His timing. Esau's poor judgment in selling his birthright for a meal serves as a reminder of how weakness can lead to unwise decisions. Pastor Andrew encourages us to stay spiritually sharp through prayer, community, and Scripture, especially in moments of vulnerability.

In today's message, discover what it means to live as "children of light" as we continue our study in Ephesians. Pastor Andrew reveals three key traits of those who are filled with the light of God as reflected in Ephesians 5:8 - goodness, righteousness, and truth. Learn practical steps for living with integrity, showing genuine concern for others, and aligning your life with God's truth. And rest in the truth that we do not become children of the light by trying harder to do what's right. We become children of light by falling deeper in love with the God who already delights in us.

In 1 Peter 3, Peter continues his theme of holy living, showing that submission and honor within marriage are not signs of weakness but rather are reflections of Christ's strength and love. Marriage is not man's idea — it's God's grand design from the very beginning. Throughout Scripture, we see many references to this beautiful design for marriage. In Genesis 2, God Himself created woman, brought her to the man, and spoke the covenant of marriage into existence: “The two shall become one flesh.” He performed the first marriage, joining husband and wife together for His glory and their good. Ultimately, marriage is patterned after Christ's covenant commitment to the Church, and through this physical picture of the relationship between Christ and the church, shows us His love and glory. Marriage is from God, by God, and for God. It reflects His covenant love — the same love Christ has for His Bride, the Church (Ephesians 5:31–32). When we understand that God is the one who joins a man and woman together, we value and protect marriage with deeper reverence and joy. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_a1561399e6274dc994f7f9f24f0dd798.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_2fa8c1aac56843b593658b3e0820dd0a.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Join us for the next sermon in our series, where Pastor Andrew teaches on leaning into our design as creatives- for the Glory of the Creator who made us in His image.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

In a world that constantly pushes us toward getting more, Jesus invites us into a radically different way of living—one marked by trust, gratitude, and open-handed generosity. Pastor Andrew's message explores how tithing functions as baseline stewardship, the foundational practice that trains our hearts to recognize God as our source and to release what we've been given.

In this powerful message, "When Jesus Comes to Your House", Pastor Andrew examines the familiar story of Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector, found in Luke 19:1-10. Although Zacchaeus was known as a wealthy traitor who cheated others, the sermon reveals that his original name means "pure," "righteous," or "innocent", emphasizing that the narrative is fundamentally about a son being restored, not a sinner corrected. When Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus, Jesus commanded him to "make haste" (hurry or escape his current life) because, "today I must stay at your house", demonstrating that Jesus looks at our being, not our behavior. This invitation, which also reminds believers they are called to be in the world but not of the world (Mark 16:15), led Zacchaeus to joyfully receive Jesus and restore four-fold what he had taken. The ultimate purpose is revealed in Luke 19:10: "For the son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost", transforming us into a "dwelling place of God in the spirit" (Ephesians 2:19-22).

This Sunday we get to hear from Pastor Andrew Elder, who planted Village Church South Belfast. Redemption Hill has been invested in church planting in Belfast since 2012. There are now two churches in the capital of Northern Ireland that we have as brothers and sisters across the sea. Pastor Andrew has been to RHC in the past, and I'm always glad to have him back with us. He plans to preach from Colossians 4:2-6 on living A Life That Prioritises the Gospel.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

1 Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.'” This message dives deep into one of the most powerful promises in Scripture — the truth that God has prepared things for His people that our natural eyes, ears, and minds can't even begin to comprehend. In this sermon, Pastor Andrew Eldridge explores the dual revelation of this verse — the glory that awaits us in eternity, and the power and purpose God is revealing right now. Through Scripture, revelation, and encouragement, you'll be reminded that: ✨ God is still acting, still moving, still preparing, and still revealing. ✨ True knowledge of God doesn't come through intellect alone — it comes by revelation of the Spirit. ✨ Heaven isn't the only place where blessing begins — the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is working in you today! ✨ The best is yet to come — in your life, your home, and in the Church! If you've been discouraged, weary, or wondering what's next, this message will renew your hope and stir your faith to believe that eye has not seen what God has in store for those who love Him.
