I am excited to announce that Rev. Jason Polk, our global partner in Ethiopia, will be in town and preaching at Redeemer this Sunday!
Jason is an ordained PCA pastor, together with his wife Liz and their three children, is one of the two families that we directly support, as he oversees the spiritual care for Ethiopia ACT and its work to grow a gospel-centered church planting movement among the poor communities of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Find out more about Jason and Ethiopia ACT by stopping by his table before or after the worship service this Sunday and at www.ethiopiaact.org
He we will be continuing our fall sermon series on Praying the Lord's Prayer by preaching on the second petition, which is "Thy kingdom come." To best prepare for the sermon, spend a few minutes reading, meditating, and praying the Lord's Prayer, and specifically the second petition. Reflect one how the Kingdom of God is already, but not yet fully here, how Jesus currently is reigning as our king, and what implications those truths have on how we live as kingdom-bearers in our daily lives.
I look forward to welcoming Jason back to Redeemer and worshiping with you all this Sunday!

Praying The Lord's Prayer: Thy Kingdom Come

How Not To Pray (A Prologue to Praying the Lord's Prayer)
November 4, 2018 • Rev. Adam Feichtmann
Jesus taught his disciples how to pray, but before he did he taught them how not to pray. Last Sunday we concluded our fall sermon series on Praying the Lord's Prayer. This Sunday we are taking one week to look at Jesus' prologue to the Lord's Prayer, in which he spends four verses teaching his disciples how not to pray. In preparation for Sunday, read, meditate, and pray through Mathew 6:5-8. Ask yourself if your life of prayer might be similar to two of the examples Jesus gives of how not to pray. If so, reflect on how you might shift more toward the model of prayer found in the Lord's Prayer. I look forward to worshiping and praying with you this Sunday! Pastor Adam
Praying the Lord's Prayer: Lead Us Not Into Temptation
October 21, 2018 • Rev. Chris Stratton
Life is full of temptations and trials. How are we to pray in the midst of difficult times? This Sunday we have the honor of having Rev. Chris Stratton, Academic Dean at Pacifica Christian High School, continue our fall sermon series on Praying the Lord's Prayer. Rev. Stratton will unpack the sixth petition of the prayer from the Gospel of Matthew 6:13 which is, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." In preparation for this Sunday, spend a few minutes reflecting on what temptations and trials are currently in your life, then pray for God to lead you away from those situations and shelter you with his loving protection. Have a blessed weekend and may God encourage and strengthen you as you gather together for common worship around Word and sacrament this Sunday. Pastor Adam
