Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and trouble is certain. So, live on purpose, serve with generosity, give your life away for the Kingdom. What is certain for every child of God is a glory-filled future beyond our wildest dreams.

Building meaningful relationships requires time together around the table … This kind of familial hospitality ought to lead the way for us repeating this in our own homes with one another and our neighbors.

We obey this command, and our practice is to invite all believers to come to the Table monthly as an act of worship and remembrance that Christ did it all … all to Him we owe! 

The Lord’s Day exposition is the feast for God’s people leading them into the week as God and His Word are fixed at the center of the Sunday Worship Service. 

Explaining what we do and why we do it is easier than actually doing it, so please join us in praying for Redeemer to be a praying church … and make patterns of prayer central in your day and week. 

The variety of voices, instruments, and songs are a corporate expression of the one voice of God’s redeemed community gathering on the Lord’s Day to exalt, thank, confess, and delight in the God of our salvation.

We have chosen to respond with a formal word of gratitude when the Word is read (“This is the word of the Lord, Thanks be to God”) to train our hearts that God’s Word is precious and to be highly esteemed as God’s people. May we never minimize the Scriptures, nor treat them with indifference, for they are the very words of life.

If you truly want to care for others, let this Biblical truth and practical advice, saturate your soul – learn to ask good questions, be a good listener … even if it means that you go unknown.

When God is In It, it is a sure thing. Therefore, be bold my disciple friends, we cannot lose. Our risks are merely an expression of rock-solid faith in The Rock-Solid God!

Regardless of the outcomes that are beyond your control, you and I can choose faithfulness and make it our closest friend. In the end, isn’t that what it is to trust God? You leave the outcomes to the Lord…

Praise the Lord that we know the whole story, from darkness to light, so we can praise the One who saved us with all our heart, mind, and soul! 

There is a huge difference between Gospel-less self-improvement and Gospel-rich introspection. The discipline of introspection includes a Scripture-informed, Search-me-O-God that listens to the Spirit’s work to expose blind spots and needed places of sanctification.

Whatever you’re feeling today, a watchful spirit and prayerful heart is your way forward. And you can move forward today because the sorrowful soul of Jesus didn’t keep Him from submission to the will of God, and His death dealt the death blow to death itself!

But we must never forget where our allegiance lies. We belong to a kingdom yet to reign on this earth, for “our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 3:20) 

Let us not be distracted by the divisive world around us but speak with peaceable wisdom as we point people to the only answer the Bible ever gives – The saving work of Jesus!

What motivates Christian living then? What should fill my heart and drive my doing? The simple answer – Faith. We believe that moment by moment Jesus is enough, Jesus satisfies, Jesus loves me, and all other things are anti-gods vying for my heart affections that must be resisted or put in their proper place.

Are we called to Abide or called to Action? How do we listen to Jesus instructing us to Come Rest in Him (Matthew 11:28) while the Apostle Paul tells us to Redeem the Time (Ephesians 5:16)?

“Be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.” (Mark 13:23) The King has told us the future, now we must live like it! 

Read with fresh eyes and awe-filled wonder this year the One Story that makes sense of all of history, and offers you daily hope for whatever comes your way.

As you stir your thoughts up in wonder, that wonder births awe in your heart, gratitude in your prayers, and praise in your days. You have a choice to make – Be controlled by the circumstances around you or choose to praise the Sovereign God of the Universe who controls all things and has given you all things richly to enjoy.
