The gospel is the hope of the world. As we read the Scriptures, we see the overarching themes of God’s providence, power and provision to reconcile mankind and the created world to Himself through the Person and work of Jesus Christ. In light of this, we aim to be explicitly gospel-centered in all that we preach, teach and practice. Sermon audio and video from Redemption Hill Church, San Antonio, Texas

    Discipleship, Sanctification and God's Will for Us

    Week 54 in Acts. Baptism Sunday! Acts 18:18-28: Paul is "in transit," traveling from Corinth through Ephesus, Caesarea, Antioch, and back through Galatia. A bridge text. But Luke is showing us something profound: discipleship in motion. Paul takes Aquila and Priscilla with him. He greets the church (encouraging them with stories of God's faithfulness). He strengthens disciples wherever he goes. "He greatly helped those who through grace had believed." What a tombstone epitaph. The Great Commission isn't just about making converts, it's about making disciples who make disciples. A renewal of the creation mandate: not just multiplying people, but creating worshipers of God who bear His image. You are the link in a chain of God's grace extending to someone else. Not might be. Not maybe. ARE. Apollos preaches eloquently but incompletely. Aquila and Priscilla take him aside with compassion. They disciple him. He goes to Corinth and likely disciples Sosthenes, who becomes co-author of 1 Corinthians. Paul planted. Apollos watered. God gave the growth. #Acts18 #MakeDisciples #GreatCommission #Apollos #AquilaAndPriscilla #PassTheTorch #RedemptionHillChurch

    Paul in Corinth Part 2 | World Without End

    Week 52 in Acts! Halfway through the book.Acts 18:1-17: Paul leaves Athens and arrives in Corinth—a city so steeped in debauchery that "to live like a Corinthian" became Greek slang for moral corruption. The church wasn't planted in a place that degenerated—it was planted in the cesspool itself.There Paul meets Aquila and Priscilla, the New Testament's most beautiful picture of unified marriage. Always mentioned together. Tentmakers by trade, missionaries by calling. Their tent-making fueled their mission—not the other way around. Your work is sacred when done unto the Lord.But Luke's bigger purpose? Verifiable historical details. Claudius (4th Roman emperor, AD 41-54), expelled the Jews from Rome in AD 49 (confirmed by Suetonius). Gallio (proconsul of Achaia, AD 51-52, brother of Seneca the Younger). These timestamps anchor the gospel in real history.Luke 1:1-4: He wrote so you would have certainty (asphalion = locked-down assurance) in what you've been taught. The gospel either happened or it didn't. If it did, Jesus is the Messiah.#Acts18 #Corinth #AquilaAndPriscilla #UnifiedMission #Certainty #LockedDownAssurance #ChristAndHimCrucified #WorkIsSacred #RedemptionHillChurch

    Gospel Turns World Upside Down | World Without End

    Pentecost Sunday! Acts 17:1-15: Paul and Silas arrive in Thessalonica where there's a synagogue. For three Sabbaths, Paul reasons from the Old Testament scriptures, explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. Over 1,000 Old Testament prophecies converge in one man, Jesus. Yet the Jews wanted a warrior-king, not a carpenter from Nazareth. They wanted conquest, not crucifixion. Instead of celebrating the answer to centuries of prayers, jealous Jews form a mob. Accusations: "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also!" "They say there is another king, Jesus!" The gospel doesn't just bring salvation, it reorients entire lives. From self-centered to Christ-centered. From idols to the living God. From horizontal concerns to vertical citizenship. That's threatening. Paul and Silas flee to Berea (50 miles) in the night. The Bereans examine Scripture daily to verify. Many believe. The gospel came not in word only, but in power and in the Holy Spirit.

    Good News in The Ruins | World Without End

    Acts 16:16-24: Paul and Silas meet a slave girl with a spirit of divination. She's making her owners rich through fortune-telling. Demonically possessed, she follows them for days shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God who proclaim the way of salvation!"Theologically accurate. But unhelpful. Paul commands the spirit: "In the name of Jesus, come out of her." It does. Immediately. No power struggle. She's freed, not just from demons, but brought into God's family.Her owners are furious. Their hope of gain is gone. They drag Paul and Silas to the marketplace, accusing them of disturbing the city and promoting unlawful customs. The crowd joins in. They're stripped, beaten with rods (no limit like Jewish law), and thrown into the inner prison, reserved for murderers. The same gospel that saved Lydia saves this slave girl. The same gospel disrupts everything. It exposes hearts, challenges powers, and demands everything, offering everything in return. The cost is real. But Christ has already endured infinitely greater for us. #Acts16 #SlaveGirl #SpiritOfDivination #GospelDisrupts #PaulAndSilas #Beaten #InnerPrison #Philippi #RedemptionHillChurch

    The Gospel Disrupts Everything

    Paul's Second Missionary Journey | World Without End

    Acts 16:1-15: Paul and Silas continue the second missionary journey. In Lystra, they meet Timothy, son of a Jewish believer and Greek father, well spoken of by the brothers. Paul circumcises Timothy (not for salvation, but for gospel access to Jews). As they deliver the Council of Jerusalem's decision, churches are strengthened and grow daily. Then something unexpected: Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach in Asia. Attempted Bithynia, the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. So they go to Troas. The Macedonian Vision: A man appears to Paul, "Come over to Macedonia and help us!" Immediately they seek to go, concluding God has called them. In Philippi, they find Lydia, seller of purple goods, worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to Paul's message. She and her household are baptized. The church in Philippi is born. God guides through closed doors AND open doors. When He closes one path, He's opening another. #Acts16 #MacedonianCall #Timothy #Lydia #LordOpenedHerHeart #Philippi #SecondMissionaryJourney #redemptionhillchurch #GodsGuidance #OpenDoorsAndClosedDoors #WhenGodClosesOneDoor #HeOpensAnother #Sovereignty #HolySpiritLeads #ActiveGuidance #DivineDirection

    Anniversary Sunday at the Picnic! (Part 2 of 1 Peter 2:1-12)

    Picking up from last week: Who are we as God's people? Verse 9: You are a CHOSEN RACE, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, a people for God's own possession—THAT YOU MAY PROCLAIM His excellencies. Called out of darkness into marvelous light. Verse 10: Once NOT a people, now GOD'S PEOPLE. Once had NOT received mercy, now HAVE received mercy. Verses 11-12: Live as SOJOURNERS and EXILES. Abstain from passions that wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct HONORABLE among unbelievers—so when they accuse you, they'll see your good deeds and GLORIFY GOD on the day of visitation. Exodus 19 fulfilled in the church. Luther on vocation: Whether prince, shoemaker, or tailor—serve your neighbor in your calling. We exist to proclaim His excellencies.
