If you love the King, you will love His Kingdom. The King’s embassies here on earth are every local church where His beauty and message are exalted. As a follower of the King, connected to one of His embassies, that makes you an ambassador. This is what meaningful membership is all about – an invested ambassador living under the authority of the King in His church serving for the glory of the Kingdom. We pray Redeemer is a faithful embassy filled with invested ambassadors.

What motivates Christians to care for the vulnerable? We explore how sacrificial care flows not from guilt or obligation, but from the love of Christ and the truth that every person is created in the image of God. Through Scripture, personal stories, and the example of Jesus, this sermon calls believers to embrace a life of compassion, justice, and courageous service to those who are hurting.

All too often we approach others with a spirit of selfishness, and that can also be the way we approach God in prayer. What can He do for me? How can I get what I need? When will the bad stuff of life be turning into the good stuff? But what if prayer is less about the stuff and the circumstances and more about the Person Himself? The Psalmist models the kind of prayer that seeks the face of God with a singular priority. If we seek His hand for what He gives, we will almost certainly miss His face. But in seeking the face of God we get His hand too, because He loves to give good gifts to his children.

As Christians, we are called to a Christ-centered community with one another. In John 13, Jesus models this sacrificial love and commands us to love one another. When Christ's love transforms us, we respond with love for one another. By this love, the world will know we belong to Christ. It is a radical way to live, and at Redeemer Church, we believe it is essential to our community life.

As we think about the kind of culture we want at Redeemer around the Scriptures, we come first to consider how Jesus handled the Scriptures. His method of teaching, along with the nature of the inerrant Word of God, become the central basis for how we teach and preach. Our commitment to verse-by-verse exposition with a careful eye on Christ in all the Scriptures is what we believe fuels a deep and abiding love for God.

The Reformation. A massive turning point in history. A major set of truths recovered for the Gospel. It is the Word of God alone, that teaches salvation by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone, to the Glory of God alone. A message we want all our kids to know, love, and live. We look back to move forward!

In this message, we explore the nature of Christian worship and why congregational singing is central to the life of the church. Drawing from Colossians 3, we unpack a helpful framework — worship has one author and object, two contexts, and three audiences — that reveals how singing together is far more than an emotional warm-up, but a formational practice that shapes our identity, stirs our imaginations, and roots us in the gospel story. We also look at why we are so prone to forget God's goodness, and how singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is one of the key means God has given us to let the Word of Christ dwell richly among us.

Jesus in this text addresses weary people who were burdened by the pressures of the law and a legalistic system enforced by the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus provides us with one of the most comforting phrases in all of the Bible: "Come to me... and I will give you rest." In Christ, believers are able to find true soul rest, freedom from burdens, and peace for weary hearts.
