What is spiritual warfare, and what are, and what are not, the tools we have to fight it? The key to understanding spiritual warfare is Ephesians 6. For those who downplay spiritual warfare, Paul emphasizes it. For those who overplay the need for “extraordinary” means by which we fight, Paul instead gives “ordinary” means in the armor of God.

What are we to make of the gifts of the Spirit, particularly the extraordinary gifts of miracles and healing, tongues, and prophecy?

What are we to make of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a second work of grace that some Christians have received and others have not received. Since regeneration is a work of the Spirit before our profession of faith, we are already given all that we need for life and godliness in that regeneration, and the baptism of the Spirit is the result of the effectual calling.

Week 1: The Spirit and Creation - The Holy Spirit hovered over the waters in creation and continues working in creation until we experience the fullness of a restored creation. Grace created and restores nature.

We are now in our final series in our Public Faith season called, “A Public Faith: Examining the Claims of the Christian Faith - A Study of John.” Nearing the end of his Gospel account, the Apostle John states that, though there was much he could have recorded, he chose to write what he wrote “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ…” (John 20:31). Why did John write his Gospel the way he did? Why does John record different events than the other Gospels? Why are the particularities of his account worth considering? In our series, we will question what Christians claim about Jesus by looking at the significance of John’s unique account.

God blesses the just and unjust. In the reformed tradition, this blessing is known as “common grace.” The same rain that falls on the faithful also falls on the unfaithful. The same capacity to reason and think given to the faithful is given to the faithless. Thus, Christians have the opportunity to learn from a wide variety of perspectives and worldviews without compromising central claims of the Christian faith. Why? The resurrection. If the resurrection occurred, we can be confident God is using his common grace to lead to the ultimate restoration of creation.

Scripture Reading: Psalm 145:8-9; Matthew 5:43-45

God created humanity with a charge to care for his creation. We were given dominion over it to steward it well. If the resurrection of Jesus occurred, we are then heading toward restored creation. As his people, we ought to be those who reflect that coming day by giving a glimpse of that restoration. If the resurrection did not occur, then the Earth is nothing more than a ticking time bomb.

Diversity is the ultimate telos for all Christians. God’s purpose is to bring together people from every tribe, nation, and tongue. The church then should care about the pursuits of diversity now. Yet, as Revelation 5 & 7 tells us, at the center of the heavenly diversity is a slain lamb. Diversity comes at a cost, a cost many are not usually willing to pay. If the resurrection did not take place, none of that diversity matters. If the resurrection did occur, the power for true diversity, unity in diversity is possible.

We live in a time of great uncertainty and confusion regarding how one ought to understand the nature of sex and sexual identity. Amid this confusion, the church has often lacked grace and compassion or lacked clarity and truth. The Bible has much clarity and truth about sex and demands we present that truth with grace and compassion. We can do both for one reason––the Resurrection. Without the resurrection, the Christian sex ethic is absurd.

The world is full of suffering. There is suffering that comes at one’s hand, but there is much suffering, unspeakable suffering, that no one deserves. The Christian faith claims a God of compassion and mercy, yet every day terrible tragedy befalls in the innocent. If the resurrection did not happen, this reality would be cause to dismiss the God of the Bible, for he is cruel and apathetic to our plight. If the resurrection did happen, there are meaning and purpose in suffering that we might fight to see.

What should we do when Christians claim to believe one thing, but their lives and actions reflect another? Does it undermine the credibility of the Christian message when Christians are so un-Christlike? If the resurrection did not happen. Yes. The un-Christlike Christians show the ridiculous claims of the faith. If the resurrection did happen, then more is happening than meets the eye in these Christians’ failure.

Injustice, wickedness, and violence pervasively impact those without power, agency, and rights. Systems and structures and individual actions of sexism, racism, and bigotry bring marginalization and even abuse. The allowance of such wickedness seems out of alignment with an all-powerful God.

As we continue our series, “Extraordinary through the Ordinary,” we look at another example of God using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. This week we consider God’s Extraordinary Journey.

Scripture Reading 2 Timothy 4:6-18; Acts 28:30-31

What is love? Though it may not seem like it, this is a difficult question to answer. As we continue our series, Extraordinary through the Ordinary, we will biblically answer this question.

Scripture Reading: Acts 20:28-38

As we continue our series, Extraordinary through the Ordinary, we will be contrasting God and idols. Idols are alluring and seem like they possess all we desire, but in the end, they give us nothing. As a result, we must be open to the Spirit of God to identify what is in our life that we have allowed to be more precious to us than God.

Scripture Reading: Acts 19:23-41

This week we return to our series, Extraordinary through the Ordinary by looking at our extraordinary calling. While God calls us to specific tasks, careers, families, etc, we also share the same calling. Today, we consider how we embrace and accomplish that calling both now and in the years to come.

Scripture Reading: Acts 18: 1-6, 18-19, 24-28

As we continue our series, “Extraordinary through the Ordinary,” we look at another example of God using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. This week, we consider the extraordinary reality of conversion.

Scripture Reading: Act 8:2-4, 9:1-18

As we continue our series, “Extraordinary through the Ordinary”, we look at another example of God using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. This week, we consider how God makes us extraordinary storytellers by giving us the most powerful story one can tell.

As we continue our series, “Extraordinary through the Ordinary”, we look at another extraordinary example of God using ordinary people to proclaim the extraordinary message of the Gospel. Today, we consider what it takes to proclaim that message––boldness

Scripture Reading: Acts 4:8-14, 18, 21, 23-31

As we continue our series, “Extraordinary through the Ordinary”, we look at another extraordinary event in which God used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary healing and proclaim an extraordinary message. Acts 3 and the healing of the lame man gives us hope that extends far beyond temporary healing, but rather points us to complete restoration.

Scripture Reading Acts 3:1-21

As we continue our series, Extraordinary through the Ordinary, we look at one the most extraordinary events of the Bible, the coming of the promised Holy Spirit. In years past, the New Testament church experienced the Holy Spirit. Not as the presence of God that came and went, but rather as an indwelling. That is, the Spirit of God, which results in overwhelming joy, fervor for holiness, and boldness to proclaim the mighty works of God.

Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-7, 11b-21, 38-41

The book of Acts is marked by extraordinary events. The NT church is birthed, then explodes across the world. Miracles happened and lives were transformed. The world would never be the same. And yet, while Acts is marked by extraordinary events, God saw it fit to accomplish great feats through ordinary people. The world was transformed by the extraordinary in the ordinary. Join us as we consider what we can learn from the early church so that we too might see the extraordinary in the ordinary.

This week we will start our new sermon series in Acts by exploring the topic of Christ's Extraordinary Ascension. Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-12

This week we will continue our sermon series in Hebrews by exploring the topic of Greater than: Our Weariness Scripture Reading: Hebrews 12:1-13

Last Sunday, we learned we are walking contradictions. Though too often, this is a proper description of how we live, think, and act, praise be to God that the consequences of our deviation from God’s purposes are no longer upon us because of the finished work of Jesus. May we trust the Eternal Spirit of God to work in us to make clear the ways we should more align our lives to the creative purposes of God. This is my prayer for myself and for you as well.

This week we will continue our sermon series in Hebrews by exploring the topic of Greater than: All Other Objects of Faith Scripture Reading: Hebrews 11:1-3, 39-40

Security. Is that a word that comes to mind when you consider the love of God? If not, it should. Last Sunday, we considered that in Christ, the love God has for you is safe, secure, and will never cease. No matter our wanderings, if we are His, He is faithful and always will lead us back to Himself. Praise be to God!

This week we will continue our sermon series in Hebrews by exploring the topic of Greater Than: Our Sacrifices. Scripture Reading: Hebrews 9:11-14, 23-28

Last Sunday we considered that Jesus is our King-Priest who rules and reigns in power, authority, and justice, while he is simultaneously our compassionate advocate who empathizes with our weakness. All kings and rulers will fail us. All priests and confidants will disappoint us. But, Jesus never will. Thanks be to God!

This week we will continue our sermon series in Hebrews by exploring the topic of Greater Than: Our Wanderings Scripture Reading: Hebrews 6:1-20

Last Sunday, we learned that true rest does not come through sleep, vacations, or other outlets, but rather a deep, soul-satisfying, purpose giving, joy-filled Sabbath rest. May we trust in the work of the Spirit to unify us to our Lord of the Sabbath!

This week we will continue our sermon series in Hebrews by exploring the topic of Greater than: Melchizedek, Priest + King Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16, 5:1-2, 6:19-20, 7:1-3, 23-27

Over the summer, we will be looking at the book of Hebrews. This past week, we considered how marvelous a truth that we have each been made in the image of God, unlike anything else in the cosmos. And, despite our cosmic rebellion against our Creator, His cosmic redemption has rescued those who trust in the work of Jesus.

This week's sermon is titled Greater Than: All Other Rest Scripture Reading: Hebrews 3:3-14, 4:2, 4:8-13

Over the summer, we will be looking at the book of Hebrews. The entire book proclaims the sufficiency of the work of Christ and the supremacy of Christ over all things. May we find great joy and hope as we consider the glory of Jesus! This week's sermon will be on Greater Than: Our Rebellion

Over the summer, we will be looking at the book of Hebrews. The entire book proclaims the sufficiency of the work of Christ and the supremacy of Christ over all things. May we find great joy and hope as we consider the glory of Jesus!

In the final week of our series, Paul gives us his summarizing, yet challenging, thoughts on what joy looks like in the life of the Christian. In society and culture of excess, what does contentment look like? In a time of great unrest and uncertainty, what does contentment look like? When there are legitimate realities that must change in our lives and society, what does contentment look like? These are the kinds of questions we will consider in this sermon.

We have been in a series called Marked by Joy: A Study of Philippians. Over the course of the series, we have considered what it means to live the Christian life. This week, our guest, Pastor Hector Sanchez, continues our series Marked by Joy by considering the topic of anxiety

This final week, we conclude our brief series called “It Is Finished” with the Resurrection. After having looked at the life of Christ, the death of Christ, we now look at the significance of his resurrection!

This week we continue our brief series called “It Is Finished”, leading us toward Easter. After having looked at the life of Christ last week, this week we turn to his death.

This week we began a brief series called “It Is Finished”, leading us toward Easter. In this three part series we will consider the necessity of the full work of Jesus in his (1) Life, (2) Death, (3) and Resurrection. For the Gospel to be Good News, we need to understand all three. Join us as we begin shifting toward the Easter Season! This week, we look at Jesus' life.

In our final look at Lamentations, we consider more deeply the realities of revival? Are we on the verge of a revival? We don't know. However, can the church live in ways at reflect revival? Yes. Pastor Justin considers what revival is, what it looks like, and how we can be prepared for it.

The beginnings of revival are always marked by self-examination, confession, and repentance. In week 4 of our series in Lamentations, Pastor Justin unpacks what it means to rightly self-exam, while also trusting God for renewal and revival.

The ability for pain and praise to be simultaneously present in our lives is one of the unique realities of the Christian faith. The poet of Lamentations 3 puts this truth on full display. Whatever tragedy might befall us, whatever storms may come, whatever suffering awaits us, may our refrain in all circumstances be, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23)!

In this second week of our series in Lamentations, we look at the deception that comes when we allow idols or functional gods to sit on the thrones of our heart. However, God in his love for us, will tear down those idols for our ultimate good. Listen to see why that is good news!

This Sunday, for Lent, we begin a new series looking at the challenging book of Lamentations. The Lenten season is a solemn season of preparation in which we embrace the longing that precedes the work of Jesus on the cross. In this first sermon, Pastor Justin gives context for the book and for our need for lament.

In our final sermon in the series Walking with Jesus, we looked at Luke 18 and considered what it means to focus our vision on Jesus. May we never look to what we do or not do for justification before God, but rather may we always look only to what Jesus has done for us!

In our sixth week in the Gospel of Luke, we looked at some of Jesus' most famous teachings - the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. We did so in order to consider where we are in relation to him that we might have a better sense of who he is to us.

Luke 14:25-33

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.

In our fourth week in the Gospel of Luke, we focused on getting to know Jesus in the context of our repentance from Luke 13:1-9. While we often frown on the discipline of repentance, it’s in true repentance that we find freedom, joy, and life. And it’s where we get to know Jesus most intimately.

Luke 9:28-36

The Transfiguration

28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[a] which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

This week we continue our series looking at passages from the Gospel of Luke in order to consider what is means to not know about Jesus, but rather to know him. In this second sermon in the series, based out of Luke 4:16-30, we wrestle with the beautiful, yet scandalous reality that salvation only comes to the poor. Though that is a jarring statement, listen and consider why it is also beautiful and hope-filled.

In this new series through the Gospel of Luke, we consider what is means to not know about Jesus, but rather to know him. In this first sermon in the series, based out of Luke 3-4, we see the ways Jesus is like us and also not like us and how that makes him the kind of savior we need.

In our final sermon in our Advent series, Pastor Justin presents for us why in advent we do not just look back, but look ahead. Though we are on this side of Christ's first coming, we also long for him to come again. May we find renewed hope and joy in remembering that God is making all things new!

Continuing in our Advent series, Pastor Justin considers the hope found in our King, who is called, Immanuel, God with Us. The story of Jesus in Exile in Matthew 2 gives clarity into the kind of King we have in Jesus and why that means we can willingly submit our lives to him.

Continuing in our Advent series, Pastor Justin considers the depths of wisdom found in Immanuel, God with Us. The story of the Wise Men in Matthew 2 gives insight into why there is wisdom in worldly wisdom, but it is wisdom that will ultimately leave us wanting, unless it comes in contact with the Word of God.

Matthew 1:18-25
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”

(which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

In this Advent season, we begin a series looking at what it means for Jesus to be, Immanuel, God with us, as this is one of the most significant claims of the Christian faith. This week, Pastor Justin unpacks what it means for God to be with us from generation to generation by looking at the genealogy found in Matthew 1.

In this final week of our "Who Are We?" series will consider our fifth and final core value - "unity". This week Pastor Justin considers the prayer of Jesus in John 17 and what it means to have unity in the midst diversity - unity that makes the love of God known to the world.

In our ongoing series, we continue to look at our core values. Our fourth core value is "mercy & justice". This week Pastor Justin unpacks how we ought to rightly think about mercy and justice through the striking passages found in Amos 5.

In our ongoing series, we continue to look at our core values. Our third core value is "community involvement". This week Pastor Justin unpacks what community involvement looks like in relation to the idea of faithful presence through the lens of Jesus' prayer in John 17.

This week we continue considering who we are as church by looking at our core values. Our second core value is "spiritual formation", as we believe Christians are called to not only be a spiritually formed follower of Jesus, but are also called to help others become spiritually formed followers of Jesus.

This week we continue considering who we are as church by shifting gears to look at our core values. Our first core value is "personal conversion", as we believe the Gospel truly impacts and converts every part of our life for matter where we come from or what we have experienced. This Gospel is for you!

In the short two weeks series, Pastor Justin unpacks Redeemer East Harlem's vision to be "a church both in and for East Harlem that seeks to both know and show the love of God in Christ." This week, we consider what it is to "show" the love of Christ by looking at it through the lens of the Kingdom of God.

In the short two weeks series, Pastor Justin unpacks Redeemer East Harlem's vision to be "a church both in and for East Harlem that seeks to both know and show the love of God in Christ." This week, we consider what it is to "know" the love of Christ.

Sermon based in Ephesians 3:1-13 by Justin Adour. Paul describes the inclusion of the Gentiles as a mystery. Though Jesus has torn down the "walls of hostility", since the time of the early church, inclusion has been difficult because too often something other than the Lordship of Christ has been primary. How then can we see the beauty of inclusion, an inclusion Christ died to accomplish?

Sermon based in Ephesians 2:11-16 by Justin Adour. God, who works on the margins, tore down dividing walls of hostilities.

Sermon based in Ephesians 1:1-14 by Justin Adour. God does all things to the praise of his glory through the person and work of Christ.
