The theology of Jesus as the very Son of God is central to our understanding of his work as Lord and Savior. As we walk through the end of Luke 3, we want to look at the Father's affirmation of the Son and the genealogy of Jesus. With both of these Luke desires us to see and worship Jesus as the Son of God. Luke 3:21-38 | Jesus is the Son of God.

This demanded he confront people in their sin and point them to the coming Savior from sin. And John was willing to confront everyone in their sin, including Herod.

The problem does not lie in a breach of the wall but rather in a breach of love among God's people.  As Nehemiah learns of the injustice, he puts the people over the project, and with a loving, righteous indignation seeks to right what is wrong.  What was this problem?  What does it look like to pursue justice?  What does loving sacrifice for the people of God look like?  And how does Jesus encapsulate the perfect picture of all of this?  Nehemiah 5 will tell us how.Nehemiah 5 | In the midst of the wall's rebuilding, there is a major problem.

This Sunday we sit in the glorious realities of grace and, Lord willing, will leave with deeper gratitude for the grace of God.Unashamed, Brock GrahamUnashamedJeremy HendonSun, 09 Jun 2024 13:31:00 +0000https://www.redeemerbible.church/sermons/no-excuses65c2899ef5bc3e65d2162af4:65ca56091a8bf46db2fd6dd3:6667004a4eda1e0e39a8a62cJeremy Hendonfalseinfo@redeemerbible.church (Olivia Zurawski)Romans 10:14-21 | Romans 10:14-21 helps us learn our next step in rightly responding to the good news. This passage is pivotal in shaping our understanding of what must take place in order for lost sinners to be saved by God. It is also a crucial text for supplying believers with passion and urgency to share the gospel. Through this passage, we see how God graciously breaks down the excuses we tend to make to neglect our next steps of obedience. He does this to lead us into the delight of obedience so that He may be glorified. God, be magnified through our obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ.Romans 10:14-21 | Romans 10:14-21 helps us learn our next step in rightly responding to the good news.

As we come to Romans 9, we see Paul's burden for the Jewish people who are still lost and have not believed the gospel. He raises an important question: Has God's word somehow failed? Is God's promise to save not powerful enough to save so many Jews still lost? Paul's answer to this is massive as it teaches us in some of the clearest language in all the Bible of the power and beauty of God's providence to save those he is calling to himself.The anthem over all of Romans is that the gospel is the power of God to save all who believe, both Jew and Gentile.

As we look at these truths and get introduced to this letter, it will help us define who we are as well and this great purpose we have here to the glory of God.Unashamed, Brock GrahamUnashamedBrock GrahamSun, 13 Aug 2023 14:37:00 +0000https://www.redeemerbible.church/sermons/introducing-romans65c2899ef5bc3e65d2162af4:65ca56091a8bf46db2fd6dd3:66588e84b800e32b911f31acBrock Grahamfalseinfo@redeemerbible.church (Olivia Zurawski)Romans 1:1 | All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for our study. This is why we give ourselves to preaching the whole counsel of God's word, and it is what makes us extremely excited to begin our study in the Book of Romans. Romans has been called the "crown jewel" of the New Testament. Down through church history we have watched the powerful work of the Book of Romans to see sinners saved, to help the saved rest in their salvation, and to sanctify God's people for greater Christ-likeness. We begin our series by getting acquainted and introduced to the riches of this book. Lets pray and ask the Lord to use our study of Romans to accomplish in our hearts all he desires to accomplish.Romans 1:1 | All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for our study.

And what we will find when studying the text of 1 Timothy 3:8-13, and also looking at a story in Acts 6:1-7, is that when deacons serve well in the household of God, needs are met, the Word is proclaimed, and the body is unified.The Household of God, Mark WileyEaster 2022Brock GrahamSun, 17 Apr 2022 14:51:00 +0000https://www.redeemerbible.church/sermons/a-resurrection-and-a-response65c2899ef5bc3e65d2162af4:65ca56091a8bf46db2fd6dd3:66607b8da5c7bb01d95d9146Brock Grahamfalseinfo@redeemerbible.church (Olivia Zurawski)Acts 2:14-41 | Our entire faith hinges on the fact that Jesus has risen from the dead.

And this week, the parent/child relationship is up! Let’s be honest – parenting is hard! Sleepless nights caring for the physical needs of infant babies turn into sleepless nights waiting up for teenagers to come home by curfew. So much of parenting is difficult, but it is so, so good. Every second you invest and every effort you make is worthy of the time and energy. In talking with parents, most feel like they’re doing a bad job. It’s like baking a cake that you have to wait 25 years to see if you put in the right ingredients and the cake keeps deciding stuff for itself. If you open the oven and look today, of course, it’s still gooey in the middle! It’s not fully baked yet. So let’s start with this question: how do you honestly evaluate your parenting? What is it that makes you feel like you’re doing a good job? Or a bad job? More importantly, what do you really want for your children? And what environment is going to cultivate it?

And how should we respond? Come this week as we dive in and continue our series in the book of Genesis.Genesis: Part I - In The Beginning, Brian HoltGenesis: Part I - In The BeginningBrock GrahamSun, 11 Oct 2020 13:51:00 +0000https://www.redeemerbible.church/sermons/the-blood-cries-out65c2899ef5bc3e65d2162af4:65ca56091a8bf46db2fd6dd3:6672e2504898177a882224eeBrock Grahamfalseinfo@redeemerbible.church (Olivia Zurawski)Genesis 4:1-26 | Once sin starts things get ugly. Sin unchecked gets brutal. From the story of the very first sin last week, we now see the evil escalate as the blood of a murdered man at the hands of his brother cries out before the Lord.

It’s first credited to Firestone Tires in the 1950s, though it’s possible it was used earlier than that. It couldn’t have been too much earlier though, because the automobile manufacturers hadn’t been too concerned about traction or tires until around this point. Cars were getting bigger. Faster. More powerful. More maneuverable. Yet, all that power and engineering came to a single (or four) point(s) of contact - the tires. Literally everything about a car is channeled to where the rubber meets the road. If there’s a failure there - no amount of horsepower matters. In our final parable of this series, Jesus encounters a brilliant expert in the law. He knows everything that he’s supposed to know - and can parse it out at a moment’s notice. What Jesus will ask him next, however, will reveal whether he’s got it where it counts. He’s got the knowledge.
