The fruit that is born from living a life rooted in delight for the law of the Lord does not wither, and is always in season, because his roots drink the deep rivers of water that is the spirit of the living God. A river of blessing that never runs dry!
Reading is hard, reading poetry is harder! And when it comes to prayer we'd rather turn to almost anything else other than pray the psalms. It feels like we're reading someone else's prayers. Prayers of men from another age. But they were the prayers of Jesus. He speaks and praise the psalms repeatedly. As we dive into the Psalms in this sermon series we find the answer to why Jesus prays the Psalms, and why we should be doing the same!To support the work and worship of Redeemer, subscribe to our channel and consider supporting us by giving a tax deductible gift at the link below.https://Redeemer-Church-Rockwall-517189.churchcenter.com/giving

What do you do when the Bible says one thing about you but it doesn't seem to line up with the world you live in? You press on! Paul encourages the church to quit looking at their lives through the lens of their past and begin to start seeing themselves through the lens of what God says is true about them!
Paul was an elite in his culture he was born in the right country. He was born to an affluent family. He had power and influence. And here in this passage Paul makes one of the most offensive statements in the word of God. Paul says that all these things are worthless in comparison to knowing God.
Paul encourages a weary and discouraged church to continue in faith, love and obedience. Be encouraged by the weight of Christs Love for you, and work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

We can only rest when we enter into the mission of God. What is the mission of God? Isaiah 58 describes it as a fast that looses bonds of wickedness and frees the oppressed. And sharing bread with the hungry and bringing the homeless/poor into your house. Jesus says what you have done to the least of these you have done unto me. We pray you are encouraged by this sermon from Isaiah 58 to live out the mission of God in your own lives!
If you want to enter into the rest of God, you need to release those who have sinned against you. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

Why is Abraham tested by God? Why are you tested by God? How can God stay true to all His promises when life looks the way it does right now in this moment?

What do we do when Jesus doesn't meet our expectations? When our prayers go unanswered? And when life doesn't turn out the way we knew Jesus would want it? Advent reminds us That we're not alone in those feelings. Mary and Joseph had unmet expectations. John the Baptist had unmet expectations. The disciples too.

The story of Esther forces you to think that maybe Christianity is way more than you "signed up for". You might have even been taught that following Jesus was supposed to make you healthier and wealthier. Or maybe that the gospel was there to make you cozy and happy on this side of heaven?

We pray you see Jesus in this story, and that He changes you forever. The God of peace is with you. Stand firm and know that the God of peace will soon crush the head of the serpent under your feet.

In Esther 3, Haman gets the power to kill all the Jews. He sends out an edict to proclaim that every Jewish man, woman, and child, is to be killed, and everything they own is theirs for the taking. The Serpent is still at work trying to stomp out the seed of the woman before the one who will come and crush the serpents head can be born. But the Lord is at work too. And in the face of total annihilation, He is miraculously preserving them through this woman.
Esther is one of the most misunderstood characters in the Bible. Most think she is either a victim, a coward, or a sellout. The author of Esther gives us a complicated and compromised view of Esther. But those typical views of Esther look at her in isolation from the rest of the grand story of God. Maybe we should ask what does God think of Esther?

The devil is real, and he's at work. Waiting for just the right moment to attack. He is patient, motivated, personal, and he seeks to devour you.

James 1:13 says "God does not tempt anyone" and in Matthew 6:13 Jesus teaches his disciples to pray "... Lead us not into temptation". How can both of these be true? As we seek to grow deeper in prayer and in union with God in our fight against temptation, consider that Jesus would rather die than sin, but we would rather sin than feel like we were dying.We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

Forgiveness is hard. But Jesus' teaching on forgiveness is even harder.

What does it mean to pray for our daily bread? More than likely, you have heard it taught, that one should pray, only for the provision of one days food. If so... you're not wrong.... but the bread makes all the difference. Jesus coins a new term when he says "Bread". It's a word that is found no where else in the Bible. And it means so much that if you do eat of it.... you will never hunger again!!!We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

What does it mean to pray for God's kingdom to come in the Lord's Prayer? The kingdom of God can be something mysterious to us, yet Jesus puts it at the very front of our prayer. When we see the gospel in light of the kingdom, it reveals how Jesus was teaching us to pray for the power of the gospel to be at work in our lives, especially when life gets hard and we struggle to know what to pray.We pray that you will be drawn closer to Christ as you learn to pray the way Jesus taught His disciples in your daily devotion to God.

Prayer is the means of leading us into communion and closeness to God. But sometimes the more we pray the more distant we feel from Him.

We begin a new journey this week into the Lord's Prayer. Maybe you've thought "I don't really know how to pray, or what to pray for"? Maybe you've been embarrassed to pray in front of others? Maybe you start to pray but you get distracted? Or maybe you're a seasoned veteran of prayer and are asked to lead groups in prayer all the time? No matter what you think you know or don't know about prayer. Or what church background you have?

We close our sermon series on the seven deadly sins this week with "Anger". Looking at Absalom in 2 Sam 13 we see Absalom's desire for justice turn into a lust for vengeance. When he gets his vengeance, instead of his anger being quenched, it is only kindled until it destroys him. Stop planning your revenge and turn your eyes upon Jesus

Is pride the deadliest of the seven deadly sins? Ezekiel 28 tells us that Satan opened the door to pride and pride grew into all the other deadly sins. Pride is the deadliest because it spits in the face of God. Pride removes God from His throne and places its host there. Pride makes a new covenant with us, that “we will be like God, and that we will surely not die” We pray for conviction, and a softness of heart for you and all of God’s people, as you look inward to expose the pride festering in your own heart to the light of Christ.

The downward spiral of Judges culminates in this story. It's hard to read. There was no King in Israel, and everyone did what was right in their own eyes. Where that led them was so dark, so barbaric, and so horrific. The writer wants us to sit and fully understand the depths of evil that have overtaken the people of God.

In this Sermon about forgiveness we look again at Luke 15, the story of the prodigal son.

In this Sermon about forgiveness we look at Luke 15, the story of the prodigal son. Are you waiting for others to apologize to you? Are you waiting until justice is done and they get exactly what they deserve? Are you waiting until you think you've punished them long enough and made your point? This passage shows us that we are the ones who need forgiveness and our unwillingness to forgive you're simply making payments on their unconcealed debts. There is so much to forgive and so much to be forgiven, so what are you waiting for?

America has become a nation of outrage. A place where victimhood is a virtue, and atonement is demanded. But forgiveness is never given. Our culture despises forgiveness because it places the burden on the victim. Jesus comes on the scene and talks about forgiveness in a way that's so radical and contrary to His culture, and just as contrary to ours.
Soften your heart and listen carefully to the words of Jesus in this sermon on Mark 2. We pray this message challenges you to forgive radically like Jesus.

Have you ever cried out to God and felt like your cries fall on deaf ears? Like God has forgotten you? Like you’re all alone in your grief? Like you’re truly hopeless? The psalmist in Psalm 88 has felt your pain, your loneliness, & and your sorrow. Even Michael Stipe from the 90s pop/rock band R.E.M. knows “everybody hurts … sometimes”. Suffering and hurt is universal in this life. But what does this have do do with Jesus? And isn’t this story supposed to have a happy ending? Well it does, but we have to dig a little deeper into this psalm to find it. Join on the hunt for the treasure buried just under the surface in this passage. We pray this sermon on psalm 88 is a comfort to you in your pain, and in your sorrow.

Psalms of ascent like Psalm 126 & 127 were sung on the way up to the temple. These two are about bringing in God's harvest and building up God's house. Jesus echos these psalms in His own prayers.

The Psalms teach us that worship is not about escaping your problems. It's about finding God in your problems. Psalms 46 was written for you. the Psalmist sings his way through his uncertainty and feelings of hopelessness and anxiety as he looks for stability in his life. But the waves of life keep coming. The answer to how to find this stability, this inner peace, lies just under the surface of this text but it starts with being still. Just be still for a moment and know that He is God.

We long for sacred places and spiritual presence of God like David found.

What is David writing about in Psalm 16? Maybe he wrote it while he was on the run from Saul, a trusted friend who betrayed him? Or maybe he speaks of facing Goliath, a towering foe that that sought kill him? Or maybe its about the loss the child he never got to know? Maybe he's talking about fleeing from Absolom, his rebellious son that sought to undo his fathers house? His life seems to fit between the lines of Psalm 16 doesn't it? But there's more here! And it points to Jesus. In this sermon on Psalm 16 from Ryan Swindle we'll see David is speaking to the resurrection of Jesus!!

Grief is tough. We don't like it. We try to ignore it or explain it away. But we can't tell the story of God without grief and suffering. Maybe that's why the modern church's telling of the story of God isn't believable. This Psalm invites us to grieve. And it tells a compelling story. One that will make you want to worship with Gods people on Sunday and skip Sunday Brunch.

Jesus closes the sermon on the Mount with this question…. Whose voice do you listen to?
Jesus is telling us to be discerning and careful because false prophets are not as they appear. They are great speakers, full of charisma, they are likable, successful, and they’re easy to listen to. Their new hit podcast is so refreshing. Their recent book on “3 keys to Christian Living” is on the best sellers list. Their church is growing by leaps and bounds. Their Instagram feed is so encouraging. They have all the appearances of Holiness but they don’t really point you to Jesus. They point to a gospel that’s easy, a path that is wide, and they use Jesus to to endorse their own brand.
Wake up church! Re-build your house on the rock, 'cause the wind and the waves are coming.

"Judge not lest you be judged!". "Who are you to judge me?". "I'm just living my truth". We have a tendency to look at scripture through the lens of what words mean in our culture. In Jesus' day "to judge" had a different connotation. What is Jesus really trying to say to us in this passage?

An eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. It sounds right doesn't it? You feel good when people who have wronged you get justice! Especially when you can deliver that justice. What's wrong with that?

The Grace of God keeps us moving in the right direction, through temptation, so that we will seek Him and find Him in The Son.
The stories of Elijah and Elisha are strange to be sure. Within the books of 1 & 2 Kings you find recording after recording of each of the kings of Israel and Judah, continuing to take the people of God in a downward spiral. The people are led astray by each king's unwillingness to put away foreign gods and worship the true God alone. But then right in the middle of the story, this downward spiral is interrupted by the ministries of Elijah and Elisha. Through them God calls his people back to him, but he does so in very strange ways by creating a deep thirst within his people.

We’re called to be disciples of Jesus, not just to believe in him and what he’s done, but to follow him. Yet often enough, following Jesus is marked by our failures and struggles that make us feel guilty, ashamed, and not good enough. The story of Peter reminds us that perfection is not a qualification for being a good disciple. In fact, it’s in his failures where Peter learned what a true disciple is. Through the eyes of Peter we will experience his failure, restoration, and examine the Christian life through his letters.

If we were honest, nobody likes the book of Job. It raises so many questions about life and suffering that we don't often want to consider it. We would rather stay in the shallow end of life instead of considering the deepest questions of our existence. Job is hard because it makes us wrestle with the "why" questions of life. Yet there is hope in this book. Amidst all the advice and philosophy that Job's friends offer to answer the questions of his suffering, Job asks deeper questions and wrestles with God. In the end, he alone is the one who comes face-to-face with God in the whirlwind, and there he says, "Before I'd only heard of you, but now my eyes have seen.”

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah come at a unique time in the history of Israel. After spending the last 70 years in exile the King of Persia orders for the temple of God to be rebuilt. This return is a part of God's plan that he prophesied in Jeremiah that after 70 years he would once again gather his people and bring them home. But the reality is that only a few of the exiles return, while most choose to stay in Babylon. What is God doing during this time? What is he trying to teach his people as they return home to rebuild their devastated land? What do Ezra and Nehemiah have to teach us about faithfulness to God's promises in the midst of trials and challenges?
