We crave control. We believe that if we just had more power over our lives—our circumstances, our future, even other people—then things would be better. This is one of Satan’s oldest lies: "Life Will Be Better if You Seize More Control." But Jesus shows us a different way by rejecting the devil’s temptation to take power for himself and humbly surrendering to the Father's will. This Independence Day weekend, we reflect on true freedom—not in grasping for control, but in trusting the One who holds everything in his hands.

Discontentment whispers constantly: "You Need and Deserve More." This lie fuels envy, anxiety, and ingratitude, making us believe that God’s provision is not enough. Yet we are reminded that God’s generosity is not about what we deserve but about his grace. Join us as we expose the enemy’s deception and find freedom in the truth that we already have everything we need in Christ.

We live in a world that measures worth by success, status, and achievement. But what if our deepest value isn’t earned? Satan whispers the lie: "Your Value is Based on Your Performance." Yet, Scripture tells a different story. In David’s kindness to Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9) and Jesus’ restoration of Peter (John 21), we see the heart of God—a love that values us not for what we do but for who we are in Him. Join us as we uncover the liberating truth: You are not defined by your failures or achievements but by God's grace.

This Sunday, Pastor Andrew Jones will join us as we kick off our new series, “10 Lies Satan Loves to Tell.” Today, we’ll explore how Satan’s lie, “You Cannot Trust God,” takes root in our hearts and distorts our view of God’s goodness and trustworthiness. Join us on this Trinity Sunday as we reject the serpent’s whisper and embrace the unshakable promise that God is worthy of our trust—yesterday, today, and forever!

Join us as we celebrate Pentecost at Redeemer! Pentecost is more than a historical event—it is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the Church today. Jesus promised that his followers would not be left alone but would receive the Spirit to guide, strengthen, and empower them for mission. Pentecost reveals both the purpose and power of the Spirit. As we reflect on that first Pentecost in Acts 2:1-21, we are invited to live by the Spirit each day, trusting that he continues to work in and through us.

Today, we celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven, knowing that one day he will return as the victorious Lord of all. As we wait, Colossians 4:2-6 calls us to a life of devoted prayer, watchfulness, and witness: “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful… Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt.” But what does it mean to live this out in our daily lives? Join us as we conclude our sermon series, "Rooted in Christ: A Journey through Colossians," with a message titled, "As We Wait."

Pastor Tim Runtsch offers a devotion about life together in community based on Colossians 4:7-18. It is titled, "More Than Footnotes: People Matter."
