We all face pain—whether it's loss, illness, anxiety, or feeling completely alone. The real question is: What do we turn to when we're suffering?In today's message, Pastor Will Yih opens up about how even the deepest pain doesn't have to lead to isolation. Through a story of someone cast out from society and met with radical compassion, we're reminded that healing often begins not with answers—but with presence, courage, and taking that first step toward something (or someone) greater than the pain.Whether you've been wrestling with grief, burnout, or just trying to make sense of life, this is a message that meets you where you are.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

Guilt is a weapon that comes against Christians. It is the subconscious need to be punished. When we have repented and put our sins under the blood of Jesus, God has forgotten our sins, but many times we have not. Guilt is not the conviction of the Holy Spirit. It is not a burden God wants us to bear.

You only get one life—so what will you do with it? In this episode, Daron wraps up the story of Ruth with a challenge to stop coasting and start stepping into redemptive purpose. Boaz didn't have to act—but he did. And his legacy still echoes today. Key Takeaways: • You get one life—don't waste it. • “I can't” is often just fear in disguise. • Saying yes to God creates a legacy of redemption. • “Have to” thinking leads to half-hearted living. • You were made to join God's mission of love and reconciliation. Quotes: “You don't have to… but you get to.” “Half-to thinking leads to half-living.” “You get one life. Stop wasting it on stuff that doesn't matter.” “Boaz didn't have to—he chose to, because redemption ran in his bloodline.” “Jesus is the Redeemer who wanted to… and did.”

Isaiah 40:27–31 (Listen) 27   Why do you say, O Jacob,    and speak, O Israel,  “My way is hidden from the LORD,    and my right is disregarded by my God”?28   Have you not known? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God,    the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He does not faint or grow weary;    his understanding is unsearchable.29   He gives power to the faint,    and to him who has no might he increases strength.30   Even youths shall faint and be weary,    and young men shall fall exhausted;31   but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;  they shall run and not be weary;    they shall walk and not faint. (ESV)

Prayer is the oxygen of the soul. It is the high point of our lives. Whether vocal or silent, it is our means to connect with God. Through prayer, we ask everything we need to save our souls. Through prayer, particularly the devotion of the Holy Rosary, we are invited to draw closer to God and to reflect on the fact that we know we are in the presence of Our Lord.

What does it mean to be wise in today's world? In this thought-provoking talk, Pastor Alfredo Ramos unpacks a timeless principle: we all build our lives on something—but not everything holds up when life gets tough. From the outside, things might look strong, but the real test comes in the storms we face.This message isn't about rules—it's about resilience. It's about asking deeper questions: Where are you investing your energy? What's driving your decisions? And how can you build something that actually lasts? --Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

God sends Elijah not to the faithful or the powerful—but to a poor, Gentile widow in enemy territory. Why? Because His mercy knows no borders. God sees the outsider, works through the overlooked, and invites us to trust Him—even when our jars feel empty.Catch the latest sermon at bridge.tv/sermonsSupport the show

Psalm 28 To you, O Lord, I call;     my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me,     I become like those who go down to the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,     when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands     toward your most holy sanctuary. 3 Do not drag me off with the wicked,     with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors     while evil is in their hearts. 4 Give to them according to their work     and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands;     render them their due reward. 5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord     or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more. 6 Blessed be the Lord!     For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;     in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults,     and with my song I give thanks to him. 8 The Lord is the strength of his people;     he is the saving refuge of his anointed. 9 Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!     Be their shepherd and carry them forever. Key Words: Lord, Strength, Shield, Rock, Call, Hear, Trust, Wicked, Evil, Shepherd, Save Keystone Verse: The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him. (Psalm 28:7)   Download Bulletin

Baptism is a powerful, public way to show that our lives have changed through God’s forgiveness—it’s not about earning forgiveness but declaring the freedom we’ve already received. It also encourages us to hold on to hope in the resurrection, which promises a real, renewed life with God, where all pain and brokenness will be healed. Finally, saying “amen” to the Creed is like saying, “Yes, I’m all in” committing to live out these truths every day, letting our faith shape how we love, work, and face life’s challenges. References: “In the new heavens and new Earth, there is no death, no suffering. There are no funeral homes or abortion clinics or psychiatric wards. There are no assaults or missing children or drug rehabilitation centers. There is no bigotry, no muggings, no killings, no worry or depression or economic downturns. There are no wars. There is no unemployment, no anguish over failure and miscommunication. No more of that forever. No conmen, no locks. No death, no mourning, no pain, no boredom, and no arthritis. No handicaps, no cancer, no taxes, no bills. No computer crashes, no weeds, no bombs. There is no drunkenness, no traffic jams or accidents. There are no septic tank backups. There is no mental illness, no unwanted e-mails. There are close friendships, but no cliques. There is laughter, but no put-downs, no laughter at the expense of someone else. There is intimacy, but no temptation to immorality. There are no hidden agendas, no backroom deals, no betrayals. Imagine mealtimes full of stories, laughter and joy, without any fear of insensitivity or inappropriate behavior, anger, gossip, lust, jealousy, hurt feelings, or anything else that eclipses our joy. That will be heaven. Can you imagine the beauty?” - Randy Alcorn “To confess the faith and say ‘amen’ is to make what we believe into something shared and public and recognizable, not just a fleeting thought in the heart. When we say ‘I believe’ in our baptism, or ‘we believe’ in a Sunday liturgy, we are making a commitment that is a pledge of allegiance, joining us to other believers around the world in the body of Christ, some of whom are bound to get into trouble for making this commitment.” - Philip Carey TRANSCRIPT

It's one thing to know God is sovereign; it's another to know just how far his sovereignty extends and the purposes for which he wields it.

Little Willy Plays in Duty. In this episode, we read Steven Paulson's Outlaw God, discussing the appeal of the Law (in the abstract), why old Adam loves pretending he has free will, the Ninevite Conundrum, Jonah's wormy preacher, and our obsession with placing therapy alongside Christ as a means of grace.

By Gary Smith - Mr. Smith begins this sermon by asking the question, isn't Paul's command in Philippians 2 to workout our own salvation a contradiction to what the Bible teaches about our being saved through faith in Christ apart from works? He then spends the sermon showing that there is no contradiction when we

By Tony Prettyman - The idea of “home” is one that evokes a wide range of emotional responses. Amazingly this idea is discussed throughout scripture, even to the end of the book and a description of our final home.

By Don Ward - This sermon provides an overview of Persia/Iran in prophecy. It shows the paradoxical nature of Persia's /Iran's relationship to Israel in that historically Persia favored Israel on different occasions and sadly how at the close of the ages how they seek to destroy Israel and then God's destruction

By Thomas Randle - God has called us from the foundation of the world. His plan for us will not be thwarted. We have nothing to fear for if God is for us, who can be against us?

By Mark Skapura - What lessons can we learn from the story of Jonah having more concern for a plant than the people of Nineveh? Do we strive to have the same level of mercy that God showed for them?

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.
