A Legit Father’s Day Sermon

In God's providence, Matthew 5:27-30 from the Sermon on the Mount fell on Father's Day. It's a passage that challenges husbands to fight against sexual sin and pursue faithfulness.

Conflict Resolution

The Bible is amazingly practical, especially the Sermon on the Mount. In this sermon, learn from the words of Christ from Matthew 5:21-26. How can you deal with anger? And what steps should you take when you know you have sinned against a friend?

Fulfilling the Law

The goal of this sermon from Matthew 5:17-20 is to connect a few dots by showing how Christ understands his relationship to the Old Testament law. Matthew 5:17-20 might be the most debated passage in the Bible. So, how this passage is interpreted shapes how a person lives the Christian life.

Salt and Light

After Jesus says, "Blessed are the persecuted," he sends his followers out into the world to be "salt" and "light." Watch or listen to the latest message from Redemption Hill to learn more about what it means to be a Christian in this broken world.

The Persecuted Life

We read in Matthew 5:10-12 that Christians will be persecuted for two reasons. Christians will be persecuted for doing what is right (v. 10) and for following Christ (v. 11).

Blood Bought Church

Hebrews 10:19-25 tells us what it looks like to have access to God and how the Christian life is experienced in the local church.

Seeing God

Jesus says, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." But what does it look like to receive a pure heart? And what does it look like to maintain a pure heart? The answers are the key to seeing God.

Shepherding the Flock of God

Pastors are called by God to point the flock of God to the chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. And this is done through the faithful stewarding of the Word of God and with prayer.

Blessed are the Merciful

If you want to know what it means to be merciful to others, you must experience the saving mercy of Christ through repentance and faith.

Blessed are the Meek

The Creator of the universe, the Savior of sinners, the Lord of heaven and earth, rides to his death on the humblest of animals and is described as humble and meek. Of all the adjectives that could be used to describe our Lord, he is described as humble, gentle, and meek.

Blessed are those who Mourn

Mourning, weeping, and grieving are a response to pain and suffering. In this life, tears are inescapable, and Jesus knows your tears are inevitable. But Jesus says in Matthew 5:4, blessed are you who mourn for you will be comforted.

Blessed Are The Poor in Spirit

To be poor in spirit means to be empty before God. When a person is poor in spirit, there is an acknowledgment of one person's inadequacy before God. We should not be shocked that this is the first beatitude. If Jesus was about to preach into the hearts of his listeners, and now us, then we need to come to Jesus empty and needy.

The Authority of Christ

Does Jesus have the authority to tell us what it looks like to flourish? If Jesus does not have the authority to teach us what it means to flourish, then what is the point of Christianity. But if we can see in the Bible that Jesus does have the authority to speak into our hearts…well, we better pay attention.

Celebrating Purim

The purpose of commemorating the day with the word Purim is to remember that God providentially delivered the people of God from the clutches of Haman. In Esther 8-10, we read how God rescued his people, but the rescue points to a more incredible rescue.

God Will Prevail

The book of Esther is a sobering reminder that there is a battle between good and evil in this world, and sometimes the faces of evil are those in authority. But here is the deal. Even though you have earthly authorities - good and bad - there is One who has ultimate power over this world and the entire universe!

God is Not Silent

On what other basis do Mordecai and Esther have to believe the Jews will not be wiped off the planet? A hunch? A false hope? Or is Mordecai and Esther remembering the faithfulness of God?

Will Evil Prevail?

There are times when a person exists in a corrupt system or is directly confronted by an evil person. In Esther 3, we see both.

Not Our Home

The Book of Esther is not what you think. When some people think about the Book of Esther the Book of Ruth comes to mind. Both are named after women. And both are in the Old Testament. But that is where the comparison ends. Ruth is a story of sacrifice, loyalty, and love. There are plenty of Christological connections in Ruth. In contrast, Esther is dark. There is heavy drinking, sexual immorality, and a genocidal plot. God is never mentioned in Esther. Yet, Esther is unlike any other book in...

The Book of Esther: Unspoken Providence

The Book of Esther is about the providence of God engaging with people, and the world, even when God is not recognized or mentioned.

Out of Egypt

Three words from Matthew 2:15 trace the birth and early life of Jesus back to Israel's exodus from Egypt. The words "out of Egypt" also reference the spiritual exodus Jesus offers to those who believe in the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ. Take a listen to this Advent sermon to hear how the Son of God, came out of Egypt to redeem.

Worship The One True King

The star in the sky did not rise for Herod but another king. This astrological sign, along with a prophetic word from Micah, confirms the work of God in history. These signs point to a king born to reign.

Born to Reign: The Purpose of the King

It’s become fashionable to accept the Jesus of the New Testament but to reject the miracles of the New Testament. We hear, Jesus is a great teacher who taught good things, but there is no way he was born of a virgin, and there is not a chance he rose from the dead. However, the moment we move away from the miracles of the New Testament is the moment we have moved away from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why, O God?

Just like some of the other psalms we’ve looked at, Psalm 10 is a lament. A lament is a passionate expression of grief or sorrow. A person does not lament when life is well. A person laments when tragedy hits. King David, the author of this Psalm, is being dragged through the mud of life, and he is crying out to God. He knows that his only path of deliverance is for God to break in and intervene. If David had thought that the way of deliverance from the wicked was through his efforts, he woul...

Dark Night of the Soul

Psalm 88 is the darkest and saddest psalm in all the Psalter. In this song of lament, Heman the psalmist pleads with God for deliverance from his suffering, questions God in the midst of his suffering, and clings to God despite his suffering. The psalm ends in darkness, where Heman seemingly lived with no resolution or apparent hope. This darkness points to the suffering and death that Jesus Christ would taste for us, from which the hope of the kingdom to come will bring ultimate salvation!

The Good Shepherd in the Valley

What are you to do when you feel like you are wandering in a wilderness? I think Psalm 23 can provide comfort to the wandering soul. To the one who feels the pressures of life, Psalm 23 is a gentle reminder of the faithfulness of God. If you are walking through the valley of the shadow of death (v. 4), let this Psalm sing to your soul.

How Long, O Lord?

The question, how long? is not unusual in the pages of Scripture. As we read in Psalm 6, the question can be asked when a person goes through pain. In the New Testament, Christians ask the question about the return of Christ. How Long, O Lord until you return? How long until you return and take away all the pain and tears? How long until we can see your face, O Lord? With Psalm 6 in view, we explore the question, how long, O Lord?

The Path of Deliverance from Psalm 25

God is less concerned with taking away your pain and suffering but He meets you in your pain and suffering. In a world of brokenness, suffering, and pain God is faithful to draw close to you as you draw close to him. If you are a child of God, God hears your cry for help. He sees the tears. He is near.

A Summation of Ephesians

Tychicus is not a celebrity apostle or pastor, but he is a guy coming off the bench. You may have never heard of him, but he is the reason why the Ephesian church can read Paul’s essential words. Tychicus is the reason why we still have these words. He doesn’t have a Youtube channel or Twitter account. But his friendship with Paul and faithfulness to the gospel of Jesus Christ cannot be measured with a human metric.

Battle Ready

If a person is in Christ (Ephesians 1), then there is unity between all kinds of people. But here is the deal. The devil wants to reconstruct the wall between people. The devil is at work to create consternation and division. Therefore, Paul writes Ephesians 6:10-20 to inform us of where the more significant battle is taking place. So, we need to pay attention and consider what God is saying about spiritual warfare.

Dare to be Different

When you are a slave to Christ, you have lasting freedom. Therefore, in all situations, at all times, God calls his people to serve Him and Him alone.

Principles for Parenting

The Bible is amazingly practical. Even though the main theme of the Bible is about redemption, reconciliation, and restoration through faith in Jesus Christ, God knows the power of the gospel gets into the most basic areas of your life. The gospel impacts your marriage and your parenting.

God’s Design for Marriage

What is marriage all about? You might be surprised to know that marriage is a living picture of Christ and the church. Listen or watch Ephesians 5:22-33 to learn more about your marriage.

Be Filled with the Spirit

Christians are saved by God to be different from the world. The filling of the Spirit is what causes Christians to be different. In Ephesians 5:15-21, we receive a glips of the saving power of the gospel to transform a person.

Let Christ Shine Upon You

How are Christians called to live in the light? In Ephesians 5:6-14 Christians are given several warnings, while at the same time a tremendous hope (v. 14). Listen or watch on YouTube to learn more.

Let Justice Roll Down

Justice rolls down from the cross of Jesus Christ. (We apologize for the technical difficulties with our audio.)

Walk This Way

Christians are constantly confronted with a myriad of ways to walk and live. Scripture is clear about what it looks like to honor God and what it looks like to dishonor God. Ephesians 5:1-5 urges Christians to honor God by "walking in love." Listen or watch to learn more.

The Dos and Don’ts of Our New Life

The Old vs. The New

The old self is about the self and the new self is about Christ. The old self produces deceitful desires and the new self produces righteousness and holiness.

A Model Church

You can visit several different churches and receive a different experience at each church. But what if there is a "model" church in which we can learn from and emulate. Fortunately, the Book of Acts is not silent on the matter. Listen or watch as guest pastor, Rob Chisholm preaches about the key characteristics of a church.

Growing into Maturity

God is concerned with your spiritual growth. How do you go from drinking spiritual milk to solid spiritual food? And how do you ensure you do not regress out of your spiritual maturity?

Called to Unity

We live in a country and culture that is doing its level best to divide people. And the devil loves every minute of it. So, the church must settle in its heart that she is united by the truths of Ephesians 4:1-6.

Beloved…Imitate Good

Imitating one another is not unusual in the Bible. But even more to the point we read in 3 John about the importance of imitating. 

The Love of Christ

There is a depth to the love of God. In this sermon, learn from Ephesians 3:14-19 and settle your heart on the power of God's love for you.

The Meaning of the Mystery

Paul says the mystery of the gospel has been made know. But now what? In this sermon, you will hear about the implications of the mystery.

Chosen for Good Works

What is the relationship between faith and works? Christians love Ephesians 2:8 but what does it mean to work on behalf of God?

Reconcilation Through Christ

Through the gospel, God provides reconciliation that leads to lasting peace. Take a listen to learn more. 

Overcoming the Deficit

Through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a Christian has been forgiven and if given new life. But the work of Christ accomplished more. Watch or listen to learn more.

The Mercy and Grace of God

It is because of the mercy and grace of God that a Christian is united to Christ. In Ephesians 2:4-10 God tells us we are saved by grace. And the grace God gives is a gift. It can't be earned. But the gift of faith in Jesus is from God.

The Problem and the Particulars

The problem of humanity is sin. The particulars of sin run deep and wide. The result of sin is a dead heart that has no chance to live apart from God’s gracious intervention.

Identity Crisis?

The primary identity claim a Christian can make is his or her identity in Christ. Any discussion about your identity begins with Christ and ends with Christ.
