In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses Matthew chapter 7 as Jesus gives the Sermon on the Mount.  Looking at what Jesus defines as religiosity and helping others, it is essential to catch the heart of God and be led by His Spirit.  How can a person help others if they are not taking care of the beam in their own eye?  While others refuse all help to make their life better.  Send us a textSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.

Chris Gloude, APRN, has been a nurse practitioner for 6 years. Prior to that, he worked as a paramedic and nurse, with a total of 17 years of experience in the medical field. He currently practices in cardiology and also has experience in internal medicine. Chris has personally struggled with obesity since childhood. His journey with the ketogenic and later carnivore diet began after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2015. He was initially prescribed oral medications, which only worsened his symptoms. It wasn't until a colleague introduced him to the ketogenic diet that he began to feel better. Over the years, he followed the diet intermittently but consistently felt his best while adhering to it. In addition to his physical health challenges, Chris also struggled with depression and anxiety, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, he was prescribed Lexapro and Xanax. It wasn't until he fully embraced the ketogenic lifestyle that he was able to successfully wean off these medications and achieve lasting improvements in both his physical and mental health. Chris is currently working in cardiology, a field where the ketogenic diet is often viewed with skepticism. However, he draws from his personal and professional experience to take a different approach. He incorporates knowledge of nutrition, stress management, and overall health to engage patients in meaningful conversations about the root causes of their symptoms. Rather than defaulting to testing or medication, he prioritizes lifestyle changes and shared decision-making to create a more personalized and sustainable path to wellness.

Many of us ask ourselves the honest question: Why is making friends as an adult so hard? At this Talkback, Ben Sciacca, Redeemer's Local Ministry Coordinator, dove into how God created us to live in meaningful community with one another. While the desire for friendship is part of God's good design, the reality is that we live in a time of prevailing loneliness and isolation. Ben was joined by Janet King, Founder of The Gathering Lab. Together, they discussed how to move past small talk into something deeper. They explored what barriers keep us isolated and what fears prevent us from moving beyond our comfort zones. As image-bearers of a loving God, we are hardwired for community, and we hope you'll fight against the digital age that keeps us disconnected.JOIN THE NEXT STEPAt the end, Ben and Janet announced our Summer Circles, which are opportunities coming later this summer to meet and build meaningful friendships right here at Redeemer. If you want to join these gatherings, sign up at The Gathering Lab now. ABOUT TALKBACKSOur Talkbacks are great opportunities to see how our faith engages with the world around us. This summer, we're excited to have four evenings that discuss how the gospel changes how we think about race, politics, the world, and our stories.Each Talkback, we get a chance to hear from a speaker for about 45 minutes before spending about 45 minutes in a Q&A. We encourage you to come with questions! MORE INFOFor more info, visit rccbirmingham.com/talkbacks

Where do you get your self-image from? Is it the opinion of others, society, or something someone told you in the past? When we meet God's grace, it changes everything. We view ourselves as in Christ, fully accepted by God. It is by grace that we are who we are and are able to do what we do. There is no room for self-glorification. The Apostle Paul called himself the chief of sinners, but he recognized that the grace of God working in him was able to accomplish much. He had a new identity and a new power through Christ. We must see ourselves through the eyes fo God's grace. #SimmplybyGrace#GraceLifeMinistries

Preaching for the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Christine Monica Zuba offers a reflection on "what is possible" with the power of witness and encounter: "The LGBTQ+ community, and specifically the transgender and gender queer community, are likewise under attack, simply for who we are. At every governmental level, rights are being denied, as politicians strive to erase our very existence. And still, just as the apostles remained visible witnesses of Christ, we too remain visible in our neighborhoods and in our faith communities. We will not be erased."Christine Zuba (she/her) is a transgender Catholic woman from Blackwood, NJ. A lifelong Catholic, she is a Eucharistic Minister and a facilitator of LGBTQ+ ministry at her parish. She is also on the Board of Directors of Fortunate Families, Inc. Christine transitioned as her true self in 2015 and was one of four transgender women to meet Pope Francis following his monthly general audience in September 2024.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/06292025 to learn more about Christine, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.

Isaiah 40:12–26 (Listen) 12   Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand    and marked off the heavens with a span,  enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure    and weighed the mountains in scales    and the hills in a balance?13   Who has measured1 the Spirit of the LORD,    or what man shows him his counsel?14   Whom did he consult,    and who made him understand?  Who taught him the path of justice,    and taught him knowledge,    and showed him the way of understanding?15   Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,    and are accounted as the dust on the scales;    behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust.16   Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,    nor are its beasts enough for a burnt offering.17   All the nations are as nothing before him,    they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness. 18   To whom then will you liken God,    or what likeness compare with him?19   An idol! A craftsman casts it,    and a goldsmith overlays it with gold    and casts for it silver chains.20   He who is too impoverished for an offering    chooses wood2 that will not rot;  he seeks out a skillful craftsman    to set up an idol that will not move. 21   Do you not know? Do you not hear?    Has it not been told you from the beginning?    Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?22   It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,    and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;  who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,    and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;23   who brings princes to nothing,    and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness. 24   Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,    scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,  when he blows on them, and they wither,    and the tempest carries them off like stubble. 25   To whom then will you compare me,    that I should be like him? says the Holy One.26   Lift up your eyes on high and see:    who created these?  He who brings out their host by number,    calling them all by name;  by the greatness of his might    and because he is strong in power,    not one is missing.

DescriptionIs there an overlap between the art of preaching and the skill of acting? This is something that I have wondered about for a long time. Having spent time on only a few acting stages - not the lease of which earned me a college best actor award at my alma mater for playing a young man with elephant ears - but I digress? Is preaching performative? Yes, in some ways. Is preaching the same as acting? No, of course not, but the overlap and where that line is fascinating and what preachers can learn from great actors is super practical. In my conversation with Tanner Kalina today we dig in to these very questions and might even have discovered some answers!

What if the waiting season is the place where your faith truly grows? Pastor James Wilson reminds us that God's timing is perfect, even when we feel pressure to rush. Preaching from Psalm 52:6-9, he emphasizes that waiting on God's promises is not a punishment, but a process that builds righteousness through the Holy Spirit. He also referenced Isaiah 64:4 and Ephesians 3:20 to encourage believers to embrace patience and see waiting as an opportunity for spiritual growth. Waiting on God refines us, strengthens us, and aligns us with His will. Trust His timing—it's always right. The waiting season is not wasted; it's where God prepares you for what's next.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from Luke 9:27–36, Josh Brown, our minister to students, families, and young adults, takes us to the mountain of transfiguration and challenges us to see Jesus for who He truly is—not merely a teacher, a helper, or a comforter, but the radiant, glorious Son of God. Preaching with urgency, passion, and deep conviction, Josh reminds us that this moment in Scripture isn't just a dramatic scene from Jesus's life—it's a theological earthquake meant to realign our understanding of Christ's identity and our response to Him. The transfiguration reveals that Jesus doesn't borrow glory like Moses, He is the glory. His face shines like lightning, His clothes become dazzling white, and He stands in conversation with Moses and Elijah, the very embodiment of the Law and the Prophets, not as an equal, but as the fulfillment of everything they pointed toward. In this moment, the Father speaks clearly: “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to Him.” That command still echoes today. Josh challenges us to reflect: when is the last time we were silenced by the glory of God? Have we gotten so used to the noise, distractions, and debates of our world that we've lost our sense of awe? The disciples themselves, even after witnessing miracles, struggled to fully grasp who Jesus was. But on the mountain, in a moment of intimacy through prayer, Jesus's eternal identity is revealed. Josh reminds us that this glimpse of glory wasn't meant to impress—it was meant to prepare. The disciples would soon watch their Messiah suffer and die. And when they did, they would need to hold fast to what they saw that day: the King of glory, unveiled. Josh presses us to consider whether the Jesus we follow is too small, too safe, too familiar. A Jesus who only affirms us but never confronts us can never truly save us. If your faith feels dim, perhaps the problem isn't that Jesus is distant, but that your focus is. This message also presses into the uncomfortable but vital truth that Jesus does not come to coexist among your priorities—He comes to reign. Like Peter on the mountain, we too can fumble the moment by placing Jesus alongside the other “voices” in our life. But the Father's rebuke is unmistakable: don't just admire Him—listen to Him. Obedience is the only right response to revealed glory. The transfiguration also anchors Jesus in the full story of Scripture. Moses and Elijah don't appear to share wisdom; they appear to confirm the identity of the Son. All Scripture points to Him. And Jesus, even in glory, speaks of His departure—His coming death on the cross. The cross remains central. Glory doesn't bypass suffering; it leads into it. For us, that means we don't just stay on the mountaintop admiring the moment—we follow Jesus down into the valley, onto the mission, into the world. Josh's call to action is clear and convicting. Don't walk out of church the same way you came in. If you've truly seen the King, your life should be transformed. Share the gospel. Live differently. Stop admiring Jesus from a distance and start submitting to Him in the details of your everyday life. You're not called to simply consume encouragement—you're called to carry a cross. This sermon isn't just a reminder of who Jesus is—it's an invitation to respond. If you've ever reduced Jesus to a mascot, a motivator, or a metaphor, this message will challenge you to see Him again with fresh eyes. To behold the Son in His glory is to be undone—and to be undone is the beginning of true worship, bold obedience, and gospel transformation. Watch the full message now to encounter the Jesus of the Scriptures—radiant, ruling, risen—and be moved to worship and mission.

David Mathis | At the end of his Gospel, John gives us a grand finale of the mercy, wisdom, greatness, and never-ending glory of Jesus Christ.
