Walking with the Chosen | Invitations

Matthew 9:9-13

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Tim Runtsch • Hosea 6:1–3, Matthew 9:9–13

This week, as we continue our series, “Walking with The Chosen”, we will explore the power of Jesus' invitation to Matthew, a tax collector, to follow him. This story challenges us to consider the radical inclusivity of Jesus' call and the transformative impact it has on those who respond in faith. Join us for a message on these themes titled, “Invitations.” Our guiding scriptures will be Hosea 6:1-3 and Matthew 9:9-13. If possible, watch episode 7 of the first season of The Chosen before joining us for worship on this day.

Advent: What Are You Waiting For? | Waiting on God

December 22, 2024 • Pastor Tim Runtsch

We’ve all felt the frustration of waiting for God to act, questioning whether he hears us at all. But Advent reminds us that God’s response to our waiting isn’t delayed—it has already arrived in the person of Jesus. In the final week of Advent, we’ll confront the impatience we feel as we wait for God to move and discover how that waiting is transformed by the love that came down at Christmas. Join us as we reflect on how God’s love is the ultimate fulfillment of all our waiting. As we conclude our sermon and Life Group series, “What Are You Waiting For?” we’ll explore the message, “Waiting on God,” and celebrate the gift of Isaiah 9:6-7.

Early Christmas: Carols, Candles & Communion | Where Are You Christmas?

December 19, 2024 • Pastor Tim Runtsch • Luke 2, Isaiah 9:2, Isaiah 9:6–7, Micah 5:2–4

This Christmas Eve, join us at Redeemer as we ask the simple but profound question, “Where Are You Christmas?” As we ponder this question, we will explore the ways that the true meaning of Christmas can feel elusive amid the chaos, commercialism, and stress of the season. In a world that often seems "kerbobbled," we will rediscover the simplicity and wonder of the message proclaimed first to the shepherds in Luke 2: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.” Together, we’ll reflect on how God’s gift of grace, revealed in Jesus, grounds us in the true joy and peace of Christmas.

Advent: What Are You Waiting For? | Waiting In Sorrow

December 15, 2024 • Pastor Caleb Cox • Psalm 30:4–12, Luke 7:18–28

Sorrow and grief are powerful emotions that can make waiting feel unbearable. Yet, Advent reminds us that even in our deepest sorrow, God promises joy. In the third week of Advent, we’ll reflect on how sorrow and joy can coexist as we await the celebration of Christ’s birth. God turns our mourning into dancing, and we’ll explore how joy breaks through our sorrow with the promise of Jesus. As we continue our sermon and Life Group series, “What Are You Waiting For?” we’ll dive into the message, “Waiting in Sorrow,” drawing joy from Psalm 30:4-12.
