The Doctrine of Glorification (1 Corinthians 15:42-58) | The Glory of Salvation

Pastor Luke Simmons delivers the final message in our series, *The Glory of Salvation*, focusing on the powerful hope of glorification found in 1 Corinthians 15:42–58.

Perseverance (Jeremiah 32:38-41) | The Glory of Salvation

Pastor Seth Troutt teaches on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints in this message from our series, "The Glory of Salvation." What happens between the moment you’re saved and the day you die or Jesus returns? Can a true Christian lose their salvation? Working from Jeremiah 32, John 10, and other key passages, Pastor Seth explains why those who have been truly born again cannot be “unborn again,” how God holds His people fast, and what the Bible says about genuine faith, vain faith, and weak faith. He also helps us think through assurance of salvation, eternal security, and how to respond when people appear to walk away from the faith. This sermon is part of our broader exploration of salvation—its process, its promises, and its hope for this life and the life to come. 00:00 - Introduction11:02 - Two types of Faith12:12 - Genuine Faith17:29 - Vain Faith26:45 - Two Sides of Perseverance27:47 - Three Types of People **HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Sanctification (Exodus 19:3-6) | The Glory of Salvation

Pastor Seth Troutt continues our series, “The Glory of Salvation,” by unpacking the often-misunderstood doctrine of sanctification. Many Christians see “saints” as a special class of elite believers, but Scripture teaches that every follower of Jesus is set apart as holy. In this message, Pastor Seth explains the difference between being positionally sanctified (what God declares us to be in Christ) and progressively sanctified (learning to live more and more like who we already are). Using clear biblical teaching and everyday illustrations, he shows how the Holy Spirit leads us to grow in holiness, not through self-righteous effort, but by living out our true identity as God’s treasured people—a kingdom of priests and saints. 00:00 - Introduction03:12 - Big Idea13:56 - Sanctification is both positional and progressive22:21 - Progressive Sanctification28:57 - Four ways to grow with the Spirit of holiness **HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Baptism & The Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:37-42) | The Glory of Salvation

Pastor Luke Simmons unpacks why our physical lives and practices matter so much for our spiritual formation. In this message from our series, "The Glory of Salvation," he explains how baptism and the Lord’s Supper serve as God-given, physical pictures of the invisible realities of salvation. Luke contrasts ancient Greek ideas about the body and soul with the Bible’s vision of whole-person redemption, then walks through what Scripture teaches about baptism and communion. He also answers common pastoral questions: - What is baptism, and what does it actually signify? - What is the Lord’s Supper, and how is it different from baptism? - Does baptism save you? - Are you baptized into a local church or into Christ? - Why does our church encourage kids to wait to be baptized? - How should parents think about kids and communion? - Should you get baptized again if you were baptized as a child? - Why do we take the Lord’s Supper every week? Whether you’re new to Christianity or have followed Jesus for years, this sermon will help you better understand and appreciate these two key practices and how they point you to Christ’s finished work. 00:00 - Introduction09:42 - What is Baptism?15:09 - What is the Lord’s Supper? **HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

The Doctrine of Union with Christ (Romans 6:5-8) | The Glory of Salvation

Pastor Luke Simmons unpacks the doctrine of union with Christ in this message from our series, "The Glory in Salvation." Drawing from images of a marriage, a body, and a vine, he explains what it means to be “in Christ” and how that reality gives believers security, places them in a true spiritual community, and offers a daily opportunity to abide in Jesus. Discover how union with Christ reshapes your identity and your walk with God. 00:00 - Introduction09:34 - Union with Christ is like a MARRIAGE12:20 - Union with Christ is like a MARRIAGE… so I have SECURITY18:24 - Union with Christ is like a BODY21:14 - Union with Christ is like a BODY… so I’m in a COMMUNITY26:48 - Union with Christ is Like a VINE29:14 - Union with Christ is Like a VINE… so I have an OPPORTUNITY **HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

The Doctrine of Adoption (Romans 8:12-17) | The Glory of Salvation

Pastor Seth Troutt teaches on the doctrine of adoption from Romans 8:12–17 in this message from our series, “The Glory of Salvation.” Many Christians think of salvation mainly as a pardon from punishment, but Scripture shows that God does far more: He brings us into His family as loved sons and daughters with full inheritance rights. In this sermon, Pastor Seth explains what it means to receive “the Spirit of adoption,” why not everyone is automatically a child of God, and how adoption gives believers a new relationship, a new identity, and a new security with God as our Father. He also explores how this truth shapes our battle with sin, our prayers, and our daily confidence before God. 00:00 - Introduction13:17 - New Relationship17:45 - New Status28:22 - New Confidence **HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

The Doctrine of Justification (Romans 5:1) | The Glory of Salvation

Pastor Luke Simmons continues our series, “The Glory of Salvation,” by unpacking the doctrine of justification—what he calls being “righteous-ified.” In this message, Luke explains what justification is, how it happens, and what it gives to everyone who has put their faith in Jesus. Looking at key passages in Romans and Galatians, we see that we are not made right with God by inherent goodness or by righteousness slowly infused through our efforts. Instead, God counts us righteous—fully accepted and at peace with Him—through faith in Christ alone. If you’ve ever wondered how God can declare sinners “not guilty” and fully righteous, or if you wrestle with guilt, shame, or feeling like you never measure up spiritually, this sermon will help you see the freeing truth of justification by faith. 00:00 - Introduction05:28 - What Justification Is10:33 - How Justification Happens29:39 - What Justification Gives **HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

The Doctrine of Conversion (Acts 3:12-21) | The Glory of Salvation

Pastor Seth Troutt continues our series “The Glory of Salvation” by teaching on the doctrine of conversion—what it really means to be “saved” and to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Acts 3 and other key scriptures, Pastor Seth explains: - What biblical faith is: trusting Jesus as reliable, sufficient, and true - What genuine repentance is: turning from sin and reorienting your life toward Christ - Why conversion must be personal, private (from the heart), and public (confessed openly) - The difference between simply saying you believe in God and truly entrusting yourself to Jesus This message also includes a clear invitation to respond to the gospel and begin following Jesus. 00:00 - Introduction05:55 - What is Faith?13:49 - What is Repentance?24:04 - Personal25:48 - Private26:34 - Public **HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

jaylenne marie

i go to this church and it's different compared to my old church. when i went to high school services they never spoke about the gospel or anything related to church it was always what's going on in trends and celebrities. when i first came they were taking about being saved and it had been a long time i heard that word and i knew it was going to be my forever church.

After 5 states and multiple churches, our experience at Redemption Gateway was a time of growth, service, love and the focus was on Jesus every second. Godly community, Godly leadership, and a never-ending desire to share Jesus with others. A humble church that loves the way Jesus loves!
Great sermons!
