Let's Steward This
1 Corinthians 4:2 | Here we are. After six years of meeting in a school, we gather together in the place God has given us to use as a sending base for the mission he has called us to. How should we think about this place? How do we live stewarding what is ultimately His in the ways he ultimately wants. We take this first Sunday in the sending base and cast a vision for a common understanding of how we faithfully steward this wonderful Kingdom tool God has given us.

Mystery Made Known

One In Christ
Ephesians 2:11–22 | Ephesians 2 began with this beautiful paragraph of how God has taken us who we were in our spiritual deadness and given us life in Christ. This paragraph is so beautiful that it can overshadow the beauty of this next paragraph connected to it. Christ has not only demolished the dividing wall between us and God, Christ has demolished the dividing wall between believers as well. Let's rejoice together at how Christ, by his blood, has truly made us one in Christ.

That We May Know
Ephesians 1:15–23 | It's one thing to know doctrinal truths in the head, it's another thing to see them with our hearts. Coming out of the riches of the doctrine that is ours in Christ, Paul has a prayer for these believers. His prayer is that God would open the eyes of their heart so they will see these truths and in seeing these truths they would know three things with certainty.

If we need some kindling to stoke our praise, let's walk through this wonderful, worshipful run-on sentence Paul begins Ephesians with and lets it lead our heart to cry out in praise to Bless God for all He is and all He has done.

Blessed are the Persecuted
Matthew 5:10-12 | The last message in our summer Beatitudes series.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." Jesus bookends His Beatitudes message with reference to the kingdom of Heaven and encouraging His followers to "rejoice and be glad" when they face persecution. But what is persecution? How are we to respond and how can we respond with joy?
The goal of persecution is to silence the witness, but the Lord gives us power to overcome fear for His glory.

Hungering and Thirsting for Righteousness
Matthew 5:6 | As the Rolling Stones say, "I can't get no satisfaction..."
That one line summarizes so much of the human existence. What brings satisfaction in this world? And why does it seem so much of what we pursue in hopes of being satisfied actually leads us to be more dissatisfied? What if satisfaction is not found in pursuing satisfaction but in the pursuit of something else?
Jesus tells us the secret, so let's look at it together.

Blessed Are The Meek
Matthew 5:5 | What is meekness? It's actually kind of hard to pin that question down. It's increasingly hard when we swim upstream in a culture where meekness is often disregarded. So what is meekness? We have to get at it because the meek receive a beautiful inheritance. It's an inheritance we don't want to miss out on. So let's pursue an understanding of meekness and this inheritance Jesus promises will be theirs.

Poor In Spirit
Matthew 5:1-3 | The Blessed Life
What is the blessed life? We will define what it means to be blessed based on the value system of the kingdom we identify with. So what kingdom do we identify with? And if it is the kingdom of God, we might be surprised to hear the very opening line of how Jesus characterizes who a blessed one is. There is major encouragement in what he says for those who know their deep spiritual poverty and need.

A 4W Church

We look to the church at Antioch in the book of Acts to take our cues of what we can look like as we seek to faithfully live out God's calling of being a 4W church.

Witness for Christ
Romans 10:13-17 | Our passage this week demands a response. All Bible passages do, but we feel the intensity of Paul's logic as he flows it out in Romans 10. How will people believe in what they have never heard? How will they hear unless someone tells them?
The answer: They won't.
But they must.
So we must go with the gospel.

Working for Christ
1 Peter 4:7–11 | How did Jesus say that the world would know we are his disciples? By our love for one another. When we talk about working for Christ here at Redeemer we are talking about the stewardship of all God has given us to lovingly and sacrificially serve the body of Christ.
In 1 Peter 4, we come across a back-to-back-to-back list of one another's that can shape the way we work for Christ. What could happen if these 3 "one another's" took root in our hearts and shaped the way we lovingly and sacrificially serve the body?

Well-Going Worship
John 4:1–45 | Worship.
What is it? We all have this general sense, but then you go to define it and it can be hard to encapsulate in a string of words with a period at the end.
Followers of Jesus are worshippers of Jesus. We must have an understanding of what it means to worship him. Fortunately for us, Jesus met a worship-thirsty sinner at a well one day and convicted her of her wrong worship, taught her on right worship, and offered himself to her as the means and end of her worship.
And so we get the joy of letting Jesus meet our worship-thirsty hearts, convict us of any wrong worship, define what is right worship, and enjoy him as the source of the living water our hearts long for.

All Consuming Love
Matthew 22:34–40 | We know we are to love God. And we know that we are to love him with a wholehearted love. We strive toward this as we grow in our walk with Jesus day by day, that we would love God more today than we did yesterday. That our love for him is deepened more next week than it was this week.
To be a disciple of Jesus is to be falling more and more into a wholehearted love of God.
Here at Redeemer, our whole mission is to glorify God by making disciples. We say that disciples of Jesus worship Christ, walk with Christ, work for Christ, and witness for Christ. These 4 W's are more than core values for our church or catchy slogans to paint on walls. These 4 W's define what a life of wholehearted love and devotion for God looks like. So this Sunday we begin our series called "The 4W Life" to seek to become the wholehearted, all-in, fully devoted lovers of God and people that Jesus calls us to be.
