Before you ever even open your mouth to speak about the Gospel, you are communicating something. May it be a silent witness that is delightful, winsome, kind and selfless, so that when you open your mouth to be a truth-speaking witness, they are ready to listen. 

God has a design for our flourishing, and in His way of doing things, generosity is the key to ultimate satisfaction. How have you seen God train your heart in generosity? Where have you been ministered to by the generous heart of others? What holds you back from “giving freely to grow all the richer”?

God is at work in ways that are beautiful “on the front”, but we can’t yet see it fully. Such a necessary reminder of God’s sovereign care and leadership in our lives … always!

Sometimes relationships hurt so badly. Often because we let our own sin get in the way of really loving people. But at other times it is because we are courageous enough to wade into the deep waters of righteously wounding a friend.

May all true disciples of Christ take a moment this week to both thank God for our Christian heritage and remember our role in the preservation of our nation. God’s plan has always been the establishing of healthy local churches equipping men and women to live as disciples in the mission field that is their own nation.

To be known and loved by our Heavenly Father, and to love His Word, means that we will seek to know and love our true brothers and sisters … not optional!

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)
