May 26, 2024Pastor Matt KendrickJonah’s Second Second ChanceJonah 3-4While Jonah took a detour, God’s will remained steadfast. We are so thankful for our God who is gracious, merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.Nothing pierces God’s slow anger like repentance. What pleased God displeased Jonah.Instead of striking Jonah down in that moment… we see God reaching out, and encouraging Jonah to pause and reflect.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

May 19, 2024Pastor Chris WrightA Divine DetourJonah 2God’s big mercy is seen in this big fish that swallowed Jonah. The mercy of God can often look different than we expect. When we stray, or like Jonah flat out disobey, God is there with His love & mercy.The cost of following is far less than the cost of fleeing.In your distress pray, declare God’s sovereignty, & proclaim God’s mercy.Express gratitude to Jesus even in the tensions of life.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

May 12, 2024Pastor Matt KendrickI Did it My WayJonah 1God gives Jonah a clear command: get up and go to Nineveh. So Jonah gets up and goes the opposite direction. By heading in the opposite direction and attempting to flee God’s presence, Jonah is announcing his unwillingness to serve God. As we try do it our way, we find it to be a dead end. Either we do reach the summit, only to find there are more summits to climb or we fall to the bottom and waste our lives wishing for what could have been. But Jesus offers a different way… A different route for your life altogether. To repent means to turn from your way and turn towards God’s way. Come to Jesus today. He’ll give you new life and a new path that actually leads to peace and fulfillment. Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

April 21, 2024Pastor Matt KendrickJesus Never Said That: Only God can Judge MeMatthew 7:1-5Jesus’ two words “judge not” here in Matthew 7 may be His most famous saying in our modern culture and may be His most often misquoted or misunderstood. We live in a culture of criticism. Criticism and judgmentalism are first cousins. Be careful of developing a critical spirit. Judgment is bad for you and sets itself in opposition to the culture of mercy that Jesus brings to the world.We have to be People of MercyNotice your sin before critiquing theirs.I need to address my sin before their sin.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

April 14, 2024Pastor Matt KendrickJesus Never Said That: God helps those who help themselvesMatthew 11:28-30Today, we’ll look at that great, hope-filled promise that God helps those who help themselves… yeah… Jesus never said that! We are, in fact, helpless. Our God, instead of demanding that we work hard and figure out a way up the mountain, Jesus came down the mountain and carries us to Him.There are a lot of offers that we get that just seem a little too good to be true. But Jesus’ offer is real. Jesus is not harsh and demanding. His way is easy and light. We’re fully known and fully accepted without conditions by Jesus. We give Jesus the full weight of our sin, shame, and burdens, and He gives us rest, peace, and life. Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

March 24, 2024Pastor Chris WrightThe Reality of Our RedemptionIsaiah 53This powerful passage displays the reality of our redemption. A suffering servant, who willingly died in our place. God’s plan of salvation for us, through the death of His Son.Jesus is the only One who qualifies as a sufficient substitute to pay the penalty for our sins.We’re sinners by nature & by choice.The severity of our sins shouted loudly from the cross as our Suffering Servant silently endured for our sake.The greater good of God’s grace was in view at the cross.Because grace doesn’t make sense and life isn’t fair, let’s take up our cross & follow Jesus.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

March 17, 2024Pastor Chris WrightPartnership & ProgressPhilippians 4:10-23Paul ends this letter with a joyful expression of thanks to the Philippians. He’s thankful for their partnership & their progress. Their loyalty to Jesus is growing as they’ve given sacrificially, even in the midst of their own struggles, to help advance the gospel.As we seek to be good partners in the gospel & make progress on our spiritual journey, we must learn from Paul here the secret to contentment. Our generosity for Christ exemplifies our growth in Christ.Christ is enough. Christ empowers us to be content.Contentment should be disconnected from our circumstances & connected to Jesus.Confidence in Christ (not ourselves) breeds contentment.As we joyfully walk with Jesus we must know Jesus is the One providing & Jesus is the One strengthening us along the way.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.
