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.

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.

A sermon from part 3 of Redemption City Church's series on the Gospel of Mark

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.

December 22, 2024Pastor Matt KendrickMary's SongLuke 1:46-55In Luke 1, Mary receives quite shocking news, that she's about to be pregnant. 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.
