July 13, 2025Pastor Chris WrightRules for RetaliationMatthew 5:38-42Most of us have a tendency for retaliation & revenge when we have been hurt, wronged, disrespected, or shamed. Too often, when we try to take matters into our own hands, rather than surrender them to God's hands, we end up in a mess. We can be liberated from the need for retaliation & pursue the higher standard of Jesus by loving & serving others.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

July 6, 2025Guest Speaker- Ed UptonWaging War on the InsideMatthew 5:27-30In this passage, Jesus shows us the problem isn't just what your hands do, but what your heart loves. Oftentimes the sin we have is exposing what really rules our hearts. Take sin seriously because God takes it seriously.

June 22, 2025Guest Speaker- Kevin RodgersThe Blueprint and the Finished ProductMatthew 5:17-20In this passage, Jesus discusses the Old Testament and what New Testament life will be like in light of it. Sometimes it's hard to make sense of the Old Testament, with its laws, prophecies, and stories, and figure out what this means for us today, after the cross. We will find that, in many ways, it is the blueprint, but Jesus is the fulfillment or the finished product.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

June 15, 2025Pastor Matt KendrickSalt and LightMatthew 5:13-16The character that we see in the Beatitudes is what makes us salty and light. It's us living out Jesus' way: humility over arrogance, other-centeredness over self-centeredness, forgiving over holding a grudge. Those kinds of people change an office. They change a family. They change a school. They lift a city!Be salty this week! Shine your light!

A sermon from the "His Kingdom Come" series at Redemption City Church

May 18, 2025Pastor Matt KendrickTaking the Bible SeriouslyHow do we know that the Bible's true? The Bible is an inspiring and controversial book that brings about both devotion and derision across the world. Throughout the centuries, Christians have responded to tons of challenges seeking to undermine the authority and relevance of the Bible. It's extraordinary how consistent the Bible's message is. Yet for all that variety of authorship, historical context and literary style, the whole book carries a single, compelling, message from Genesis to Revelation: everything points to a developing understanding of the grace of God in creation, redemption and salvation. Why is the Bible true?Large Number of manuscriptsAgreement with archeologyInternal consistenciesFulfilled propheciesSociological ReasonThank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

May 4, 2025Pastor Matt KendrickWill life ever slow down?Luke 10:38-42If you find your identity and value in how much money you make, how hard you work, how good you are, you're going to have to keep working harder, keep being better, and making more to just get by.

April 13, 2025Pastor Matt KendrickMaking DisciplesLuke 5:1-11Jesus didn't want to do ministry all by Himself. That's why we see Him do something in this text today that quite literally changed the world. Jesus sought out some blue-collar, rough-around-the-edges guys to start His church with. God's not searching today, trying to find who is the most self-righteous or the most important. He's searching for people who will follow Him. Disciples are not mass-produced; they're handmade. Each of us has a role in this mission of making disciples. So who will you include in God's kingdom?A disciple of Jesus obeys Jesus. A disciple of Jesus makes disciples.A disciple of Jesus leaves everything to follow Jesus.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

It's hard to imagine what she could have felt as she received this news. But Mary does not make it about her. She starts her song by singing, “My soul magnifies the Lord.”In your life, how can your soul magnify the Lord?You can't read very far in Luke without seeing Jesus bless somebody. You won't go more than a few verses without seeing Jesus bless someone with a kind word or help someone who society had overlooked. Jesus sees: the other, the overlooked, and the obvious. The real joy of following Jesus is following Jesus, to follow in His footsteps, to see what He did, and to act just like Him.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

December 8, 2024Pastor Matt KendrickThe Widow's MiteLuke 21:1-4In this passage, the widow didn't give more in the sense of a higher dollar amount, but her sacrifice was greater. The world would never notice this woman or this gift, but Jesus notices. Jesus was more interested in why she gave than what she gave because God is after her heart. He wants all of your heart, like His Father had all of this poor widow's heart.Jesus' radical generosity toward us is a model for our radical generosity toward others.God gives some people more, so they can share with those who have less.God wants His people to enjoy what He's given to them.Money cannot make anyone happy.It's good to save money and build wealth.Any of these principles taken alone will leave you out of balance, but holding them all in tension together will provide you with a biblically sound and balanced approach to your money and possessions.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.
