Give thanks in every season!

Thanksgiving is upon us, reminding us how important it is have a spirit of gratitude rather than entitlement.

This Sunday we have the privilege of hearing a sermon on giving thanks from Pastor Derek Rishmawy, our RUF Campus Minister at UCI. To best prepare for Sunday, read and pray through Psalm 136 and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

I look forward to worshiping, in joy and gratitude, with you all this Sunday!

Renewal Begins in the Dark

November 13, 2022 • Rev. Justin Edgar • Psalm 143

On Sunday we are fortunate to have a guest preacher, Rev. Justin Edgar from https://www.citypresabq.com/ in Albuquerque. This is his introduction of Psalm 143: I have a low tolerance for the dark. Whether it is dark emotions…sadness, frustration, low grade anger, anxiety, fear…when I run head on into these, my tendency is to find artificial lights to cope. Food, drink, shopping, tv, phone…anything to get my mind off of it. But what if renewal begins in the dark. What if God brings us into these places in His mercy, because this is where His renewing work begins. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Pastor Josh

The Church and the Keys of the Kingdom - Danny Morgan Ordination

March 6, 2022 • Rev. Josh Hahne • Matthew 16:13–20, Matthew 18:15–20

This Sunday Danny Morgan will be ordained to be a minister of the gospel! As such, we’ll be taking a break from our Something More sermon series in order to consider Jesus words in Matthew 16:19, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” It’s going to be a great Sunday. Grab a friend and join us at 10am. Pastor Josh

For Beggers and Children

January 30, 2022 • Rev. Paul Kim, Rev. Adam Feichtmann • Luke 18:9–30, Luke 18:35–43

This Sunday Redeemer will have two worship services: our normal service in Newport Beach and a special service in Palm Springs for the 80+ guys attending our Men’s Retreat! In Newport Beach, we are excited to announce that the Rev. Paul Kim, from Redeemer City to City Los Angeles, will be preaching. He will teach from Luke 18:9-30, 35-43, and gave us the following teaser… This passage speaks to how we only come to Jesus as beggars, children, tax collectors—bankrupt, marginalized, condemned. But we unwittingly bring our “middle-class sensibilities” into our relationship with Jesus, which is a danger. The only way we come to Jesus is like a child, humbled and bankrupt. In this season of feeling weak, out-of-control, dependent, perhaps financially or physically threatened, there may be a spiritual opportunity to embrace the weakness. This is good for our souls, especially for those who are diligent and accomplished. In Palm Springs, we are excited to have the Rev. Dr. Peter Leithart teaching on the book of Revelation for the whole weekend, but specifically preaching on Revelation 6:9-11 on Sunday morning. He gave us the following teaser… Sunday’s Sermon is the Triumph of the Witnesses. When Jesus opens the fifth seal, John sees martyrs beneath the altar, crying for vindication. Revelation portrays God's answer to their prayer, following the martyrs as they ascend to heavenly thrones to reign with Christ. I look forward to both attending the Men’s Retreat and worshiping with the rest of you this Sunday morning in Newport Beach! Pastor Adam
