The next generation (kids and students) are not just the future of the church — they are part of the church right now. How — and what — can the rest of us learn from this generation? How can we empower them to be disciples of Jesus in their cultures today?
All of us are searching for happiness in one form or another. some of us seek wealth or pleasures of this age and some seek fulfillment in family or work. However, the way of Jesus flows in the opposite direction. In Matthew 5, Jesus gives his "Sermon on the Mount" and lays out the way of the Kingdom of God. The first section of his sermon is often known as "the beatitudes" and lists those who are "blessed" (or "happy"). Can we find true happiness and fulfillment following the ways of this world and its age, or should we seek the counter-cultural way of Jesus?

The New Testament letter of 1 Peter is from the disciple Peter to five churches. It says those who persevere in faith while suffering persecution should be full of hope for the future and enjoy God’s saving promises here and now through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Peter teaches how to live as strangers and sojourners in this world. A sojourner is a person who resides temporarily in a place, a temporary resident, traveler, or stranger rather than a permanent inhabitant. Peter reminds the churches — and us — of our true citizenship in God's Kingdom.

In his letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul writes, "O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?" In such few words, Paul manages to encapsulate the hope behind what we celebrate at Easter. The resurrected Jesus is the only name that saves and resurrects. This gives us hope for today and tomorrow.
In every moment of our lives, we face decisions with small and large repercussions. Each of us faces a decision to take one road or another. What path will we take? Do we make those decisions with the confidence of Jesus being with us, or travel on our own strength? We must move from a place of unease to a place of declaration.

On Sunday, Feb. 8, our worship gatherings will take on a slightly different look and feel. Part of Redemption’s DNA is to have fun and be creative. Game Day at Redemption is a fun and unique way to present the gospel and encourages people to invite friends and family to a worship gathering where, not only do we worship the Savior who gives us hope, but we also have a good time together, experiencing God's gift of joy. Get your favorite team's jersey/apparel and invite some family and friends for a fun day worshipping Jesus together.
This year, we'll have a unique feel during our sermon time when each campus will have five people taking five minutes each to break down one essential passage of Scripture in a sermon we're calling "Five for Five."

A sailboat on the water is at the mercy of the wind. To move forward towards a desired direction, one must raise a sail to capture the wind's power. In the same way, individual believers and God's church must raise our sails to catch the proverbial wind of the Holy Spirit's direction. Our faith cannot be passive, we must be active in raising the sails with our time, our talents, and our treasures. Where are we going? Why does it matter? What does it look like when one life is shaped by The Holy Spirit?

A look back at the grace shown to Redemption in 2025, and a look ahead to a new year of loving God, loving people, and seeing Him change the world.
We love to tell stories. From an early verbal tradition to today's books, television, social media reels, and movies, we continue to weave tales designed to help us understand life, laugh at ourselves, and appreciate beauty. The stories we tell reflect God's storytelling character. His epic story of redeeming humanity is the greatest one ever told. At Christmas, we remember this narrative in myriad forms.
From Nov. 30 to Dec. 21, we will explore how the larger themes in several popular Christmas movies point us to God's truth — the ultimate true story — in our sermon series "Christmas At The Movies."
On Sunday evening, Dec. 21, all Redemption campuses gathered for "Glow," a special Christmas worship gathering to celebrate God putting on flesh and becoming as one of us. Jesus' birth illuminated a dark and dying world. How can we reflect that light in the darkness?
Two teaching moments from the night are shared here. A full service video can be viewed via Redemption's YouTube Channel.

As part of our 25th celebration at Lincoln Amphitheatre, we shared some stories of what God did yesterday for the church, what he's doing currently today, and what he'll provide for the future of tomorrow at Redemption Christian Church. Here are those stories.
The early church is often painted as an ideal of perfect community. The reality, however, was far from picturesque. The church in Corinth was, to put it lightly, a mess. In one of his letters to the Corinthian church, the Apostle Paul tried to paint a clear picture for the people and untangle the many theological and moral knots the church had created for itself. His letter to them still rings true to the church today. How can we be unified in a world of chaos? How can we be wise in a world of foolishness?

A value Redemption has always emphasized is that the Kingdom of God is bigger than just our church body. Because of this, we place a high value on sending out workers to do Kingdom work wherever God calls them. For the next two weeks, we will welcome two former Redemption students who are currently in vocational ministry at churches in other parts of the state.

Bold faith and unwavering obedience reveal God's power in extraordinary ways. From parting the Jordan River to raising the dead, Elisha's story challenges us to trust God fully and step courageously into His calling. The journey of the old Testament prophet Elisha speaks directly to challenges and opportunities we often face today.

In a world gripped by chaos, the Old Testament prophet Elijah stood firm — confronting kings, enduring drought, and defying darkness with faith. How can obedience and trust in God bring hope in hopeless times?

In Mark 2:1-12, Jesus encounters a group of men so determined to get their paralyzed friend to Jesus that they literally tear a portion of a home's roof to lower the man into the crowded room. Since May 21, 2000, this philosophy has been at the heart of Redemption Christian Church. The first sermon at the (then) Christian Church of Jasper was about "wrecking the roof" — removing all barriers to get people to Jesus — and the message remains the same today and into the future. For 25 years, we've seen His work among us as we have sought to love God, love people, and see Him change the world.
When it comes to currency, to recognize what is counterfeit, experts have to have a strong understanding of what is real. Our culture teaches us many things about what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman, and what friendships or relationships should be. When culture teaches us falsehoods, we can have confidence in the authenticity of what God says about us.
As a supplement to the Counterfeit series, we will release three Redemption Podcast Extras featuring counselors Annie Mason and Paul Alvey — and hosted by Executive Minister Daniel Ross.

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are the most important events in human history. Easter is all about celebrating Jesus' ultimate defeat of sin, Satan, and death.
On the hill where Jesus died, there were three crosses. By the side of the sinless Son of God, two thieves were nailed to their own crosses. However, the responses to Jesus from each thief were diametrically opposed to one another. Jesus's cross offered redemption to each — and to us. While one thief chose rejection, another chose repentance. the choice presented to each man is also the choice presented to us. Which path will you choose?

Following Jesus means no longer following other gods in our lives. These false hopes do not go quietly, but instead put up a fight for your heart. These things get into the ring to fight for their place of dominance for your time, resources, and attention. Is following Jesus worth the fight? How do we put on our gloves and win the fight? The bad news is, you can't win by your own efforts. However, the best news is releasing the fight to Jesus guarantees victory!

On Sunday, Feb. 9, our worship gatherings will take on a slightly different look and feel. Part of Redemption’s DNA is to have fun and be creative. Game Day at Redemption is a fun and unique way to present the gospel and encourages people to invite friends and family to a worship gathering where not only do we worship the Savior who gives us hope, but we also have a good time together — experiencing God's gift of joy. Get your favorite team's jersey/apparel and invite some family and friends for a fun day worshipping Jesus together.
Before Jesus' ascension into heaven, He commanded His disciples to make disciples of all nations. So, "discipleship" is the big E on the eye chart. Unfortunately, the modern church is facing a discipleship deficit. We are constantly being shaped by the world around us and we often don't really know HOW to become like Jesus. Simply, we need a clear pathway.

Jesus said to go to the whole world and make disciples. In fact, Jesus came to seek and save the lost and He gave us the task of continuing that ministry. Missions matter to us because it mattered to Jesus.
Every Christmas season, we are drawn in by the lights and beauty of the season. However, the reason we celebrate Christmas willingly left more majesty than we can imagine to be born into a mess — both literally and figuratively.

Deconstruction. It’s a term loosely used to describe a process of systematically dissecting — and often rejecting — beliefs and belief systems. Some are deconstructing traditions while others are deconstructing their faith altogether. However, deconstruction always leads to some type of reconstruction.

In rural southern Indiana, more than two decades ago, an upstart church began with a handful of people, and God has grown it into an impactful church of more than 2,000, with campuses in three towns. How did this happen? What did God use to not just make a church grow, but create a movement of Christ followers who are brought into the mission of loving God, loving people, and changing the world?
In Season Two, we continue to explore what God has done — and is doing — through Redemption Christian Church as Leadership Developer Kevin R. Smith guides the conversations.

Is it possible to have contentment and joy in all circumstances? Can peace and fulfillment actually be qualities marking our lives? In his letter to the church in Philippi, the Apostle Paul describes how deep-rooted joy and confidence in God’s promises — through a relationship with Jesus — can lead us to the good life.

As a culture, we are obsessed with numbers. From influencers to crowd sizes, we are hyper-focused on bigness. Jesus’ focus, however, was much smaller. He showed us how to live out the commandment to love God and love others. He shows us how to love other people — by focusing on one person at a time.

We live in an age where we have access to the most information we’ve ever had, yet we find ourselves running in circles trying to find the right direction for our lives. Distraction and disconnectedness mark our daily existence. In the midst of this, however, God is still speaking. Can we hear Him? Are we listening?

In the grand scope of the God’s story, there are a few who get most of the press. However, behind the scenes, God often employs those whose stories may not receive as much adulation — weaving their actions into the tapestry of His divine plan. In the narrative of God’s redemptive story recorded in Scripture and in His church today, unsung heroes — while often unnoticed — have an impact echoing throughout eternity.

Many relationships are under constant stress and fatigue. Fortunately, Jesus provides us wisdom showing us how to rethink the way we live among — and interact with — friends, coworkers, neighbors, strangers, and even family.

The idea of a “masterclass” is to learn from the world’s best experts on a variety of subjects. In a sermon recorded in Matthew 5 to 7, Jesus offers the ultimate — and original — masterclass on Kingdom living. The Sermon on the Mount doesn’t say “live this way to be my disciple” but rather “because you are my disciple, this is how you were meant to live.” Kingdom living is often in direct opposition to the way of the world. However, when we sit at the feet of the master and learn, we find a life like no other.

Jesus gives us peace, joy, and hope. When we celebrate his arrival each year, this truth can get muddled in the intensity and insanity of the season. However, Jesus’s birth inaugurated the arrival of true peace, joy, and hope in our world of conflict, sadness, and hopelessness.
What was once a cornfield now sits a sprawling campus known as Redemption Christian Church. In a small town in rural southern Indiana, 23 years ago, an upstart church began with a handful of people, and God has grown it into an impactful church of more than 2,000, with campuses in 3 towns. How did this happen? What did God use to not just make a church grow, but create a movement of Christ followers who are brought into the mission of loving God, loving people, and changing the world?

In Hebrews 9:27, the author of the book delivers a fact all human beings must face: " ... each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment." What does Scripture say about what happens to each of us after we pass from this earthly life? Are heaven and hell for real? Can we have certainty while also embracing the mystery of our final moments on earth and our next moments in eternity?

Teams and businesses often use mantras to inspire, to remind, and to define. Likewise, every church has metaphors or phrases helping define core values, vision, and mission. Redemption is no different. One of these mantras is to "grip the plow." Based on Luke 9:57-62, we must keep our eyes on the prize ahead and not look back. We must always keep pressing ahead with the work of God’s Kingdom. Commitment is key as we go on the mission of Christ.

We all face temptations. We are prone to various kinds and methods. Satan often uses common temptations to damage our spiritual life and hinder our walk with Jesus. Instead of continually returning to our sin — like a dog to its vomit — we need to eliminate our way back to these sins. The prize is ahead. Don't look back. Burn the ships.

VERSE 1
Who tells the sun to rise every morning
Colors the sky with the shades of His glory
Wakes us with mercy and love
Jesus does
VERSE 2
Who holds the orphan comforts the widow
Cries for injustice feels every sorrow
Carries the pain of His children
Jesus does
CHORUS
So we sing
Praise to the Father who gave us the Son
Praise to the Spirit who's living in us
When I was a sinner He saved me from who I was
('Cause) that's what Jesus does
VERSE 3
Who understands the heart of the sinner
Showers His grace over all our mistakes
Washes us clean with His blood
Jesus does
VERSE 4
Who sings the song of sweet forgiveness
Who stole the keys to hell and the grave
Who has the power to save
Jesus does
BRIDGE
Oh what a Friend
Oh what a Savior
He's always been good
He's always been faithful
He came to my rescue
When I needed Him most
And saved my soul

A lot of what we read in the Bible is about God communicating to us. But in Psalms it teaches us how to communicate to God. There’s 150 of these Psalms, written by a handful of different people, all talking to God from all different ranges of emotions. Much like the playlists we create to convey various moods via our favorite music, some are angry, some are afraid, some are sad and depressed, and some are celebratory—but they teach us to worship God through all of it.

When making a music playlist, familiar songs — hitting upon varying modes and emotions — are often chosen first. Many familiar Psalms are full of hope, longing, joy, and praise. While helping us cultivate conversation with God, Psalms also helps us lament, challenges us, and motivates us to a deeper relationship in our worship of God.
If you could send a message from your future self, what would you say to yourself? You might talk about the worry and anxiety that plague you today and what trusting God can do. You might tell yourself to never walk alone and ask for help. You might remind yourself of your identity in Christ and the dangers of finding it anywhere else. Or, you may talk about forgiveness or patience.
From May 21 to June 18, 2023, Redemption will explore these varied ideas and issues in the sermon series Letters From My Future Self. Letters with titles like Don't Overthink It, Ask For Help, Find Your Identity, Please Forgive, and Embrace The Wait are all waiting for us to read together.

In this edition of Redemption Stories, five people reflect on thier journey with the latest round of Rooted experiences in Spring 2023.
Twice a year, Redemption hosts "Rooted" — a 10-week discipleship study. The focus rests on three themes: Connecting with God, connecting with the church, and connecting with your purpose. While those who registered for this round of "Rooted" began their journey in early March, the entire church will gather on Sunday morning to celebrate the conclusion of this round in our worship gatherings.
Jesus has called us to follow Him — discipleship. This is what "Rooted" is all about. In this sermon, we celebrate the conclusion of the latest round of "Rooted," share stories, and are challenged — as a church — to further and deeper discipleship.
Beginning May 7, 2023, Redemption Christian Church will be singing a new song together called “You've Already Won.” Utilize this song teaching audio/video from Redemption worship ministers Ryan Lynton and Caleb Spencer to learn how the song is arranged and get ready to sing together once we gather again.
VERSE 1
There’s peace that outlasts darkness
Hope that’s in the blood
There’s future grace that's mine today
That Jesus Christ has won
VERSE 2
So I can face tomorrow
For tomorrow’s in Your hands
All I need You will provide
Just like You always have
CHORUS
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
No matter what comes my way
I will overcome
Don’t know what You're doing
But I know what You’ve done
I’m fighting a battle
You’ve already won
VERSE 3
There’s mercy in the waiting
Manna for today
And when it’s gone I know You’re not
You are my hope and stay
VERSE 4
When the sea is raging
Your Spirit is my help
He’ll fix my eyes on Jesus Christ
I’ll say that it is well
Oh I know that it is well
BRIDGE
I know how the story ends
We will be with You again
You’re my Savior my defense
No more fear in life or death
Tag
I know how this story ends
I'm fighting a battle You've already won

In this Easter Sunday edition of Redemption Stories, Doug Stephenson (Tell City Campus), Brooke Hawkins (Loogootee Campus), and Steve Fleck (Jasper campus) reflect on their journeys from feelings of religious obligation to a personal relationship with Jesus.
We need to be reminded who we are in Christ and what He has done for us. The triumphant work of Jesus has produced a finished work in us — not something we have done but because of what He has done and who He is. We live from salvation not for salvation.
Until Easter Sunday, April 9, we will examine this great news in a sermon series called You Were. We will see how You Were Washed (March 19), You Were Sanctified (March 26), and You Were Justified (April 2). Ultimately, however, we will see that He Is (Easter Sunday sermon) who he says he is and we can trust him.

One of Redemption’s Mantras, "Empty the Jar" is a challenge for each of us to give of our time, talent, and treasure. Generosity is about money, but it's about more than money, too. It's an act of worship — pouring out ourselves for Jesus and His Kingdom.

Part of Redemption’s DNA is to have fun and be creative. "Game Day at Redemption" is a fun and unique way to present the gospel and encourages people to invite friends and family to a worship gathering where not only do we worship the Savior who gives us hope, but we also have a good time together — experiencing God's gift of joy.
Revelation is often thought to be only about future events. In reality, it’s about what has always happened — suffering, injustice, violence, and evil. However, God still rules and reigns. We anxiously await the day when all will see this reign, but until that day, we put our hope in Jesus and trust Him for endurance and hope as strangers in a strange land.

We BLESS people, both inside and outside the church.
We EAT together, sharing meals with believers and nonbelievers alike.
We LISTEN to the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit as we engage with those around us.
We intimately LEARN Christ as our leader and model for making disciples.
We see ourselves as SENT by God to everywhere life takes us.
The prophet Isaiah told the people of God about the coming Messiah some 700 years before the birth of Jesus. In Isaiah 9, several names are listed describing various attributes of God. Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and the Prince of Peace are among those names give to describe Immanuel, or ‘God with us.’ Nearly three centuries later, we still have much to gain from understanding what Isaiah was telling us about Jesus, why God coming down to man is such a shift from all other religions, and what this means for our lives, not only at Christmas time, but every day.

Beginning December 4, 2022, Redemption Christian Church will be singing a new song together called “Heaven Has Come To Us.” Utilize this song teaching audio/video to learn how the song is arranged and get ready to sing together once we gather again.
VERSE 1
Unto us from on high
Reaching down into the deepest night
To the world hope has come
In the dark the Light of Life has dawned
CHORUS
What a myst'ry oh what love
Oh how can it be that Heaven has come (to us)
VERSE 2
Unto us meek and mild
God eternal born a helpless child
Set aside Heaven's throne
Veiled in weakness came unto His own
VERSE 3
Unto us grace has come
Here to seek and bring the sinner home
Lived to die rose to reign
Son of Man the Lamb for sinners slain

As followers of Jesus, we strive to remove all barriers between Jesus and people — while having faith enough to do so. One of Redemption’s mantras, "Wreck The Roof" is inspired by Mark 2 and the story of the people who brought their sick friend to Jesus for healing, destroying a (literal) roof in the process. Wrecking the (proverbial) roof requires faith, a willingness to remove obstacles, doing difficult things, and to be Jesus’ hands and feet to others.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, as revealed to and recorded by the apostle John, is ripe for confusion and, honestly, can be a bit scary. However, we believe Jesus is in control. He is the One who revealed these things. He is our ultimate hope. He the One who holds all things — including us.

As followers of Jesus, we must recognize and resist the thinking of the world and lies of Satan and, instead, tune our hearts to God’s way. When Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” he is essentially saying all other ways are untrue and lead to death. With this in mind, we must realize we are at war, but this war isn’t like any other. We are at war with lies and attacked through the devil, the flesh, and the world. Deceptive ideas lead to disordered desires leading to normalization in a sinful society.

Words matter — and some words matter more than others. The meaning behind a word can transform your heart, heal relationships, and change your life. There are five, simple, biblical words — if we take them seriously — God will use to bring about tremendous transformation in our lives. These words will not only grow our relationship with Him, but can also greatly improve our relationships with other people as well.

One of the most exciting things in the life of Redemption is our expansion into Tell City. Last year, we purchased of the old Tell City Junior High School building and began the process of getting things ready to meet. Additionally, we were able to purchase this building with no new debt — thanks to your generosity.
As we move forward, we are in the midst of a two-phase process of remodeling — with the first phase being getting the building ready for adults and kids to gather in temporary worship spaces. The second phase is to finish out a more permanent worship center and children's space (down the road a bit). Our goal is to do as much of that as possible with cash on hand and no new debt.
In this video, Tell City Campus Minister Corey Andry gives a brief building update and gives a sneak peek at some areas in the building being refreshed for use. Barring the unforeseen, we intend to launch the campus in Fall 2022.
Kids and students aren’t just the future of the church, but the church right now. As we have for several years, we're taking one Sunday to highlight family ministries with Next Gen. Sunday. Next Gen. Sunday is a chance to challenge the larger church body to step up their role in setting the course for the next generation. It is also a chance to spotlight and celebrate all that’s happened in Family Ministries in the past year.

Summer is a great time to hear from voices from throughout Redemption’s staff. Beginning June 19, we’ll kick off a summer sermon series called This Verse Changed My Life. While it’s a series, it’s also a collection of sermons that can stand on their own. We’ll hear from speakers like Senior Minister Darrel Land and Teaching Minister LG Lance, as well as Tell City Campus Minister Corey Andry, Jasper Campus Minister Ryan Stiles, Loogootee Campus Minister Cameron Gladish (with Ryan and Cameron each preaching live at their respective locations), as well as Jasper Campus Student Minister Makayla Lance. Bring your Bibles and get ready to dive into summer with this unique collection of sermons from June 19 to July 24.
On Sunday evening, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m. EDT, Redemption will host Gotee Records recording artist Cochren & Co. at Redemption's Jasper Campus. The Dove Award-nominated Cochren & Co. have toured coast to coast and recently completed a run on the arena-filling Hits Deep tour directly supporting TobyMac and Crowder. Their debut full-length album Don’t Lose Hope was released on Gotee Records in 2021 and includes the Billboard Top 10 Radio Hits "Church (Take Me Back)," "One Day," and "Who Can." The current single "Thank God For Sunday Morning" is heating up across airwaves and streaming platforms nationwide.
In this wide-ranging interview with Michael Cochren, he tells Redemption's Daniel Ross how music — and the music business — fits into his life, as well as how a kid can go from Montgomery, Indiana, to sharing the stage with the godfather of modern Christian Music, TobyMac. In addition, he talks about anxiety, pressures — and joys — of the music business, playing in post-hardcore/screamo bands/Warped Tour bands, and much more!
In this sermon (audio only), former Redemption minister Richard Crabtree preaches from the book of Romans as part of Redemption's summer sermon series "This Verse Changed My Life." Richard was on staff with Redemption from 2015 to 2021. In that time, Richard was Discipleship Minister, the first Campus Minister of the Loogootee Campus, and Spiritual Formations Minister. Richard is now retired and preaching for various churches as needed.

Life is full of big questions and, sometimes, no easy answers. Often, we are hesitant to ask these questions ourselves so we say (we're) "asking for a friend." Like life, being a disciple of Jesus sometimes includes questions with which we must wrestle.

At Redemption, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus — the most important event in human history — every single week. We also remember Jesus' death on a cross as a sacrifice for our sin — defeating Satan, sin, and death — every week. However, a certain time each year is set aside to specifically remember these monumental events. This year, we're celebrating Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday with a three-sermon, two-week sermon series called Hope Rising. Like nothing else, these events give us hope for today and tomorrow.

In 2021, Redemption taught on our "Mantras" — short statements of what Redemption is all about. We believe these statements are so important that we put them on the wall in each Redemption location. In this series, we will dive deeper into the first of these mantras, "Be The Branch." Being the branch means staying attached to the Vine — Jesus. We can do nothing of real value apart from Jesus, and, since we’ve been grafted into Him together, we also can’t do anything of real value apart from each other. Therefore, we must also “be the branch” to others.

In the midst of a long, tiring, and difficult season of life, it’s easy to see why we want to throw in the towel. From marriage, to parenting, to the daily grind of work, it’s important to develop endurance — because the race of life is long and demanding at times.

The Sunday of the professional football's championship game has become — in our country at least — something akin to a national holiday. While the game, football, and sports, in general, aren't the focus when we gather on Sundays, we thought we would do something fun to piggyback off of this particular Sunday.
On Sunday, Feb. 13, we are going to continue our on-again/off-again study of the book of Luke by going through chapters 12 to 15 in four separate — and brief — sermons. Quarters, if you will.
We live in a new world where God’s ideals are not held by culture. While this has been true for a long time, how do we live in light of this reality? What can we learn from Daniel about how to live in Babylon?

VERSE 1 What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer There is no more for heaven now to give He is my joy my righteousness and freedom My steadfast love my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold my hope is only Jesus For my life is wholly bound to his Oh how strange and divine I can sing all is mine Yet not I but through Christ in me
VERSE 2 The night is dark but I am not forsaken For by my side the Savior he will stay I labour on in weakness and rejoicing For in my need his power is displayed
To this I hold my Shepherd will defend me Through the deepest valley he will lead Oh the night has been won and I shall overcome Yet not I but through Christ in me
VERSE 3 No fate I dread I know I am forgiven The future sure the price it has been paid For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon And he was raised to overthrow the grave
To this I hold my sin has been defeated Jesus now and ever is my plea Oh the chains are released I can sing I am free Yet not I but through Christ in me
VERSE 4 With every breath I long to follow Jesus For he has said that he will bring me home And day by day I know he will renew me Until I stand with joy before the throne
To this I hold my hope is only Jesus All the glory evermore to him When the race is complete still my lips shall repeat Yet not I but through Christ in me
TAG When the race is complete still my lips shall repeat Yet not I but through Christ in me Yet not I but through Christ in me

Seventeenth-century theologian John Owen once said "be killing sin or it will be killing you." In John 8, Jesus describes Satan as the "father of lies." Literally since the beginning of human history, we have struggled against the lies of Satan. How do we combat such powerful opposition?
In this series, we see how to push back against Satan's lies with the truth of Jesus. Where do thoughts, feelings, and emotions such as guilt, shame, bitterness, anger, worry, fear, envy, and comparison originate? What does Scripture have to say about who we are in Christ?

Throughout much of 2021, we have been weaving in and out of the gospel of Luke. This time, we are headed to Luke 11 and Jesus's teaching about prayer. Prayer is as much about changing us as it is changing what God is going to do. How do we pray? Why should we be persistent in prayer and making our requests to God? Luke 11:1-13 will help us understand.
One of the most exciting things in the life of Redemption is our expansion into Tell City. Recently, we completed the purchase of the old Tell City Junior High School building, got the keys, and are beginning the process of getting things ready to meet.

With these things in mind, the elders and leadership of Redemption have decided all giving — at all of our locations — on Sunday, November 14 will go towards our Tell City location.
We are trusting God to lead people to give generously once again. Please, spend some time praying about your role in this effort to spread the gospel in our region.

On Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021, Redemption hosted Sponsorship Sunday for the children of Rwanda through our friends at Africa New Life. We strongly believe in the power of sponsorship through this organization. Sponsors give children access to a quality education, food, medicine, hope, and the gospel.
There are three things we need to know about rumble strips: 1. They wake you up, alerting you to danger. 2. They are still inside the safety zone. 3. They assist you to your destination. The road isn’t the only place we need rumble strips — we also need them in our daily lives. Rumble strips help us arrive safely at our destination. We can avoid some of our greatest regrets if we pay attention to the rumble strips God gave us. Throughout scripture, God provides His people with laws, not to be legalistic, but because He is our heavenly Father looking out for the best interests of His children.
Beginning October 17, 2021, Redemption Christian Church will be singing a new song together called “Behold.” Utilize this song teaching audio/video to learn how the song is arranged and get ready to sing together once we gather again.
VERSE 1 The empty filled the wounded healed The broken back together The poor are blessed the weary rest We will dance forever
VERSE 2 The blinded see the chained are free The doubtful now believer The outcast known the orphan home You are my Redeemer
CHORUS Behold behold behold what love can do Behold behold He's making all things new
VERSE 3 The lost return the voiceless heard The mourner now rejoicing The mountains shake the world awake Creation all composing
VERSE 4 The sad untrue the earth renewed The song has found its singer The darkness light the dead alive You are my Redeemer
BRIDGE We've been struck down we're not destroyed We've sown in tears we'll reap in joy My eyes are open

As Jesus sent his disciples out to be “lambs among wolves,” we, as believers, are given a different way to live. In Luke 10, we see Jesus' call for harvest workers, the story of the Good Samaritan, and the choices of Mary and Martha.

How did the New Testament church go from a handful of unschooled followers of Jesus to a world-changing, cultural-shifting movement of thousands — and eventually millions — around the world? This happened by unleashing the full force of the church to love people, one at a time, by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Matthew 28, Jesus unleashed his followers to go into all the world and make disciples. The book of Acts records the stories of an unleashed church. Today, after a period of waiting, God is ready to unleash the full force of the church on the world, not just through corporate ministry, but through the witnessing action of the church loving God, loving people, and living out contagious missional lifestyles.

Kids and students aren’t just the future of the church, but the church right now. As we have for several years, we're taking one Sunday to highlight family ministries with Next Gen. Sunday. Next Gen. Sunday is a chance to challenge the larger church body to step up their role in setting the course for the next generation. It is also a chance to spotlight and celebrate all that’s happened in Family Ministries in the past year.

In God’s Kingdom, the first will be last and the last will be first, the least will become the greatest, and the meek will inherit the earth. In a culture that values fame and fortune above most things, being humble — rooted in the gospel — isn’t always an easy pursuit, but it is a wise one.

Redemption Spiritual Formations Minister Richard Crabtree is retiring from full-time ministry at Redemption. Richard has been with Redemption since 2015 — as Discipleship Minister, Loogootee Campus Minister, and Spiritual Formations Minister — and has been in full-time ministry for 50 years, as of this month. This message is Richard's final sermon as a member of Redemption's staff, focusing on the hope found in Jesus, as described in John 16:33. We are grateful for Richard's time with Redemption and are looking forward to what God will do through him in the days ahead.
From May 16 to June 13, we will resume our study of The Gospel of Luke with the sermon series "Luke: Shelter From The Storm." During this series, we will examine the back yard of Luke 6 and end up in the front porch of Luke 8.
We'll look at passages that yield questions like these: What does it really mean when Jesus says "don't judge"? What does it mean to "build your house upon the rock"? What's the difference in religion and faith? How is simply telling others what you have seen and heard a powerful thing? Whose job is it to make the faith of our friends and neighbors blossom?

Teams and businesses often use mantras to inspire, to remind, and to define. From Just Do It to Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose, these mantras are memorable. Likewise, every church has metaphors or phrases helping define core values, vision, and mission. Redemption is no different. These phrases help us define what this church is all about. Phrases like Be The Branch, Catch The Wind, Grip The Plow, Empty The Jar, and Wreck The Roof are quick and memorable ways for us to remember to keep our eyes focused on the true priorities of Jesus and His church.
From April 11 to May 9, 2021, we will examine each one of these metaphors in our sermon series Mantras. May we apply each of these to our lives and be on mission for Jesus together in the time and places he has placed us.

On Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday 2021, Redemption will take a two-week look at man's rebellion against God and God's restoration via Jesus's resurrection.
From the beginning, God's plan for us was the garden. Our hearts, however, longed for our own desires — rebelling against our Creator — longing for the darkness of the grave. Who will rescue us from our path of destruction? Who will bring us to life? Through Jesus, God has made a way for our graves to be turned into gardens once more.

God reaches out to us, constantly making room for those who are sick, broken, oppressed, and weary. Jesus perfectly fulfilled this love and perfectly modeled it for us.
In "Luke: Room For More," we will dive into chapters five and six and see how Jesus calls the sick to Himself, what Sabbath is really about, how the Kingdom of God is counter-cultural, and why loving your enemies is the way of God.

Marriage is difficult and marriages are under attack more than ever in our current stressful time. In this series, Redemption will spend three weeks looking at God’s idea of marriage and the intimacy He designed for marriage. We will also look at some steps we can take to improve marriages and relationships. From February 7 to 21, we'll take a three-week break from our study of Luke to examine moving from 'me' to 'we,' what 'for better or worse' really means, and how to date.
With this occasional Redemption Podcast Extras series, we focus on the songs we sing at Redemption as well as examinations of other songs we may not sing on a regular basis.
In this episode, we will dig into the Scriptural foundation and listen to clips from our newest single, "Freedom's Song." We have sung this song regularly since early 2018. The original studio version and a bonus live version is available wherever you stream/download music (look up "Redemption Christian Church" as the artist.
Thanks for listening!
