Sponsorship Sunday

Distracted At The Wheel

There are three things we need to know about rumble strips: 1. They wake you up, alerting you to danger. 2. They are still inside the safety zone. 3. They assist you to your destination. The road isn’t the only place we need rumble strips — we also need them in our daily lives. Rumble strips help us arrive safely at our destination. We can avoid some of our greatest regrets if we pay attention to the rumble strips God gave us. Throughout scripture, God provides His people with laws, not to b...

Mary & Martha

As Jesus sent his disciples out to be “lambs among wolves,” we, as believers, are given a different way to live. In Luke 10, we see Jesus' call for harvest workers, the story of the Good Samaritan, and the choices of Mary and Martha.

Unleashed Purpose

How did the New Testament church go from a handful of unschooled followers of Jesus to a world-changing, cultural-shifting movement of thousands — and eventually millions — around the world? This happened by unleashing the full force of the church to love people, one at a time, by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Matthew 28, Jesus unleashed his followers to go into all the world and make disciples. The book of Acts records the stories of an unleashed church. Today, after a period of waiting, ...

Next Gen. Sunday (Loogootee Campus)

Kids and students aren’t just the future of the church, but the church right now. As we have for several years, we're taking one Sunday to highlight family ministries with Next Gen. Sunday. Next Gen. Sunday is a chance to challenge the larger church body to step up their role in setting the course for the next generation. It is also a chance to spotlight and celebrate all that’s happened in Family Ministries in the past year.

The Last One To Work Gets The Same Wage

In God’s Kingdom, the first will be last and the last will be first, the least will become the greatest, and the meek will inherit the earth. In a culture that values fame and fortune above most things, being humble — rooted in the gospel — isn’t always an easy pursuit, but it is a wise one.

Rock, Thorns, and Roots

From May 16 to June 13, we will resume our study of The Gospel of Luke with the sermon series "Luke: Shelter From The Storm."

We'll look at passages that yield questions like these: What does it really mean when Jesus says "don't judge"? What does it mean to "build your house upon the rock"? What's the difference in religion and faith? How is simply telling others what you have seen and heard...

Empty The Jar

Teams and businesses often use mantras to inspire, to remind, and to define. From Just Do It to Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose, these mantras are memorable. Likewise, every church has metaphors or phrases helping define core values, vision, and mission. Redemption is no different. These phrases help us define what this church is all about. Phrases like Be The Branch, Catch The Wind, Grip The Plow, Empty The Jar, and Wreck The Roof are quick and memorable ways for us to remember to keep o...

Graves To Gardens

On Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday 2021, Redemption will take a two-week look at man's rebellion against God and God's restoration via Jesus's resurrection. From the beginning, God's plan for us was the garden. Our hearts, however, longed for our own desires — rebelling against our Creator — longing for the darkness of the grave. Who will rescue us from our path of destruction? Who will bring us to life? Through Jesus, God has made a way for our graves to be turned into gardens once more.

Love Without Limits

God reaches out to us, constantly making room for those who are sick, broken, oppressed, and weary. Jesus perfectly fulfilled this love and perfectly modeled it for us. In "Luke: Room For More," we will dive into chapters five and six and see how Jesus calls the sick to Himself, what Sabbath is really about, how the Kingdom of God is counter-cultural, and why loving your enemies is the way of God.

How To Date

Marriage is difficult and marriages are under attack more than ever in our current stressful time. In this series, Redemption will spend three weeks looking at God’s idea of marriage and the intimacy He designed for marriage. We will also look at some steps we can take to improve marriages and relationships. From February 7 to 21, we'll take a three-week break from our study of Luke to examine moving from 'me' to 'we,' what 'for better or worse' really means, and how to date.
