Many misconceptions exist about what it means to be a Christian, and what to expect in life as a follower of Christ. This week, Steve Mittwede discusses what the life of a normal Christian will look like.

Truth. Beauty. Goodness.

He's Not Here
April 9, 2023 • Alexander Wade • Mark 16:1–8, 1 Corinthians
The evidence is overwhelming. Christ died, and rose again on the third day. This is a reliable, historical event. This Easter, Pastor Wade discusses how the truth of Christ's resurrection impacted the followers of Jesus then, and what it means for us now.
Return of the King
April 2, 2023 • Alexander Wade • Mark 11:1–11
In the Triumphal Entry, Jesus undeniably stakes His claim as the prophesied King who's come to atone for the sins of the world. Jesus brings with Himself the glory of God, making its return to Jerusalem. On Palm Sunday, Pastor Wade breaks down Jesus' kingly actions in Mark 11.
Gratitude is an attitude
November 20, 2022 • Brian Metz • Psalm 100:4, Psalm 95:1–2
Thanksgiving it’s a national holiday that currently Americans of all types have mixed feelings about these days. We have so many reasons to give thanks to God, and yet it is a far too rare practice for many. Complaining and grumbling come all too easily for us. Rather than look at what is lacking in our lives, may we learn to thank God in everything realizing that God owes us nothing and yet has graciously given us all things in Jesus Christ.
Psalm 95:1,2
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name! Ps 100:4
I submit that there is a deep connection between Gratitude and joy. Thanksgiving is the key that unlocks the treasure trove of true gems of joy.
Remember
October 23, 2022 • Brian Metz • 1 Chronicles 16:12
Remember - Memory and being able to remember what God has done for us - historically and personally- is a gift from the Lord. As YHWH reminded the Israelites to remember their former bondage, we are to remember the grace that has delivered us from our bondage to sin. You have been saved by grace. Ephesians 2 helps remind us that God has rescued us in Christ.
Songs for Sheep
September 18, 2022 • Brian Metz • Psalm 23, Psalm 100
Have you listened to the songs of the shepherd for His sheep? The Psalmist encourages us in these songs for sheep who need the good shepherd.
Jesus Builds His Church
September 4, 2022 • Alexander Wade • Matthew 16:18
This week is the one year anniversary of Worthy Redeemer Church. We gathered together to celebrate Jesus, because it is He who builds His church
Gospel Community
August 7, 2022 • Brian Metz • Ephesians 4:11–16

Majestic Things
April 17, 2022 • Alexander Wade • Matthew 28:1–10
How can an event as majestic as the resurrection of Christ become dull and ordinary in the hearts and minds of believers?
No Other King
April 10, 2022 • Alexander Wade • Matthew 21:1–11
Why did Christ ride a donkey? Why was he called Son of David? On Palm Sunday we reflect on Jesus triumphal entry.
Look To The Lord
January 23, 2022 • Alexander Wade • Psalm 123:1–2
We all need a little extra encouragement from time to time. During those seasons it’s important to remember to look to the Lord.
Friendship
January 16, 2022 • Brian Metz • John 15:12–17
Friends - Jesus calls us his friends when we obey his commands - namely to love each other. True friendship calls us to lay down our life for our friends. It’s more difficult in this day and age to lay down our preferences and egos than to actually lay down our lives. Listen in as Pastor Brian preaches from John 15:12-17. Love, friendship, Jesus, friends
Abide
January 9, 2022 • Brian Metz • John 15:1–11
Abiding in Jesus is one of the easiest and yet most under practiced of Jesus’ final commands to his disciples. If indeed we are disciples of Jesus, our Lord instructs us to find joy in dwelling with him. To abide in Jesus we trust that we are in union with Him and therefore are able to place ourselves under the authority of his Word and we have access to Him through prayer. Listen as Pastor Brian exhorts is to Abide in Christ this year.
