    Above & Beyond 2024 | Faith That Endures

    Taking a break from Acts to address giving and generosity. 2 Corinthians 9:6-15: Paul's clear New Testament metric for Christian giving.Paul urges the Corinthian church to complete their promised offering to the persecuted church in Jerusalem. The Macedonian church — far poorer — gave "beyond their means" and begged to participate. Now Corinth must follow through.The New Testament Metric for Giving:As PROOF of love (8:24)WILLINGLY, not under compulsion (9:5,7)BOUNTIFULLY, not sparingly (9:6)As decided IN YOUR HEART (9:7)CHEERFULLY—God loves a cheerful giver (9:7)Not dollar-for-dollar ROI. Not prosperity gospel. But spiritual blessing and God's provision for every good work.0:00 - Welcome & Introduction: 2 Corinthians 9:6-151:00 - Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:6-153:00 - Taking a Break From Acts (Week 42)4:00 - Members Meeting & Above and Beyond 20267:00 - Why This Sermon Now (Second Sermon on Finances in 12 Years)8:00 - Growing Up in Prosperity Gospel (Why We Don't Pass a Plate)11:00 - Context: Paul's Third Letter to Corinth13:00 - 1 Corinthians: Strong Correction / 2 Corinthians: Love & Comfort15:00 - The Offering for the Persecuted Church in Jerusalem17:00 - The Macedonian Church Gave "Beyond Their Means"19:00 - Paul to Corinth: "Don't Embarrass Me or Yourselves"20:00 - Jesus Became Poor So You Might Become Rich (Not Materially)23:00 - "Give Proof of Your Love" (2 Cor 8:24)25:00 - The New Testament Metric for Giving (9:6-15)27:00 - Not an Exaction (Not a Tax—Taxation Is Theft)29:00 - Whoever Sows Sparingly Reaps Sparingly (Farming Illustration)32:00 - Not Dollar-for-Dollar ROI (Prosperity Gospel Is Wrong)33:00 - God Is Able to Make All Grace Abound (Every Good Work)37:00 - Give as Decided in Your Heart (Not Reluctantly/Under Compulsion)42:00 - We Need Cheerful Money, Not Reluctant Money43:00 - We Give Because God Gave (Jesus, Holy Spirit)46:00 - God Delights to Entrust Resources to Faithful Stewards48:00 - New Testament Metric Summary (Proof, Willing, Bountiful, Cheerful)50:00 - Some Cannot Give at All (Why Not?

    Appointed to Eternal Life Pt. 3 | World Without End

    Acts 13:26-52 (Part 3): The climax of Paul's first sermon and the doctrine of election in plain view.Paul proclaims the gospel clearly: Jesus' perfect life, death, burial, and resurrection FOR us and IN our place. He warns the Jews not to fall into the error of Esau, thrusting aside their birthright. The whole city gathers. Some rejoice. Some revile.Then comes verse 48: "As many as were appointed to eternal life believed." Not "as many as believed were appointed." The ORDER matters. God's sovereign election in plain view.Picture a great doorway. Facing it, the sign says: "WHOSOEVER BELIEVES." On the other side: "APPOINTED TO ETERNAL LIFE." Jesus promises: "Whoever comes to Me, I will NEVER cast out" (John 6:37).There will never be anyone who wanted Jesus and was rejected. And there will never be anyone whose name gets left behind. Election doesn't make sinners passive, it makes believers BOLD. Your salvation is as secure as Christ is. And where is Christ? Risen, ascended, exalted, seated at the Father's right hand.#Acts13 #AppointedToEternalLife #Election #Sovereignty #WhosoeverBelieves #SecureInChrist #RedemptionHillChurch

    Appointed To Eternal Life Pt. 2 | World Without End

    Acts 13:13-52: Paul's first recorded sermon in the Book of Acts. After arriving in Pisidian Antioch, Paul stands in the synagogue and preaches the gospel. He traces redemptive history from Moses through David to John the Baptist, then connects it all to Jesus. "Of David's offspring, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, according to His promise. "What's the message of salvation? Verses 30-32: "But God raised Him from the dead." The promise became news. The gospel isn't just instructions for life, it's a PERSON who did something for you and in your place. "Through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by Him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. "But Paul doesn't end with an altar call. He issues a stark warning from Habakkuk: "Beware lest what is said in the prophets should come about. "Warnings are grace, not rejection. The whole city gathers. Some rejoice. Some revile. And verse 48: "As many as were appointed to eternal life believed." #Acts13 #PaulsFirstSermon #MessageOfSalvation #ButGod #FreedByChrist #RedemptionHillChurch

    Appointed to Eternal Life Pt 1 | World Without End

    Acts 13:13-52: Paul's first recorded sermon in the Book of Acts. But before we get to Paul's message, we need to see WHO is sending him.Acts 13:1 names the church at Antioch: Barnabas, Saul, Simeon called Niger (likely Simon of Cyrene who carried Jesus' cross), Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen (lifelong friend of Herod). This isn't random, Luke is highlighting DIVERSITY from day one.Ethnic diversity (African men from Cyrene, one darker than the other). Socioeconomic diversity (from Herod's wealthy friend to common laborers). Educational diversity. All unified at the foot of the cross.The enemy wants us to focus on our differences and question how anyone could understand us. But Christ died to adopt us into a FAMILY that doesn't always look like us. We don't come to Jesus based on our ethnicity, education, or bank account. We all come as great sinners needing a greater Savior.At the foot of the cross is the great equalizing force. In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female.Note: Paul's sermon covered next week! 0:00 - Welcome & Scripture Reading: Acts 13:13-528:00 - Members Meeting Announcement10:00 - Overview: Four Sections of This Passage12:00 - Rewinding to Acts 13:1: Who Is Sending Paul?16:00 - Luke: The Best Historian (Verifiable Truth Claims)19:00 - Luke Highlights DIVERSITY in the Church at Antioch22:00 - Simeon Niger & Lucius: Two African Men From Cyrene25:00 - Manaen: Herod's Wealthy Friend (Socioeconomic Diversity)28:00 - The Foot of the Cross: The Great Equalizing Force32:00 - The Enemy's Lie: Focus on Differences35:00 - The Philippian Church: Diversity From Day One39:00 - Jesus Breaks Down Every Dividing Wall43:00 - Our Commonality Is Jesus (Not Background or Class)45:00 - A Multi-Ethnic Church Worshiping Together48:00 - Closing Prayer#Acts13 #AppointedToEternalLife #DiversityInChurch #UnityInChrist #FootOfTheCross #RedemptionHillChurch

    God's Sovereignty in Scripture | Faith That Endures

    A short devotional on God's sovereignty based on this week's lectionary readings: Amos 3, Psalm 139, Matthew 4, and 1 Corinthians 1.Amos 3: "Can two walk together unless they be agreed?" Nothing happens by chance, everything occurs by God's decree. God is sovereign over all creation and history.Psalm 139: God is sovereign over your life personally. He knit you together, knows every word before you speak, every thought before you think it.Matthew 4: Jesus begins His ministry exactly when and where prophesied. God chose His first disciples, Peter, Andrew, James, John, and He continues to choose His disciples today. He chose YOU.1 Corinthians 1: The gospel doesn't depend on your eloquence or training. Its power is in CHRIST, not in you. You're already prepared to share the gospel right now.God's sovereign grace chose you. The outcome rests on Him, not you. Share the gospel without fear.#Sovereignty #Lectionary #GodsGrace #Election #Gospel #LectionaryReading #RedemptionHillChurch

    Christ's Mission Not Ours | World Without End

    Back to Acts after Advent & Christmas! Acts 13 picks up with Barnabas and Saul being sent out on their first missionary journey—not by the church, but by the Holy Spirit. We see worship and service unified. We see the laying on of hands. We see a bittersweet sending—joyful but sad to see brothers leave. Most importantly, we see that this is CHRIST'S mission, not ours. Along the way, Paul confronts Bar-Jesus, a false prophet and magician who opposed the gospel. God strikes him blind. Some ask: "Isn't that unfair?" Wrong question. The right question is: "Why didn't God do ME like He did Bar-Jesus?" It's easy to forget what we DESERVE versus what we've RECEIVED. We've received mercy. Grace. We once worked against the gospel too—but by the power of the Holy Spirit, we've been grafted in. We live on mission because we serve a MISSIONAL GOD. From Genesis 3 forward, God has been running TO us while we run away. Our God CAME to us. That's why we go. #Acts13 #MissionalGod #BarnabasAndSaul #BarJesus #FalseProphets #SentByTheSpirit #RedemptionHillChurch

    Why was Jesus baptized? | Epiphany 2026

    Epiphany Sunday: The Baptism of Jesus from Matthew 3:13-17. Why would the sinless Son of God submit to a baptism of repentance? John the Baptist resists: "I need to be baptized by YOU. Why are you coming to ME?" But Jesus insists: "Let it be so now, for it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. "At His baptism, we witness the Trinity in full display: The Son is baptized, the Spirit descends like a dove, and the Father declares from heaven: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." Jesus didn't need baptism for Himself—He did it for US. He chose to identify with sinners. His entire life was active obedience to the law we couldn't keep. At His baptism, before He performed a single miracle, preached a sermon, or called a disciple, the Father was already pleased with Him. Here's the gospel: The same words spoken over Jesus are true for YOU. You are God's beloved son or daughter. God's pleasure rests on you because of what Christ has done. #epiphany #Matthew3 #BaptismOfJesus #Trinity #BelovedSon #ActiveObedience #RedemptionHillChurch

    The Boy Jesus | Christmastide

    Second Sunday of Christmas: The Boy Jesus at the Temple from Luke 2:41-52. This isn't the manger scene, it's 12 years later when Jesus' family loses Him at the Passover feast.Mary and Joseph panic. They lost GOD IN THE FLESH. They had one job: raise Him so He could accomplish the unthinkable. And they LOST Him. Three days later, they find their 12-year-old boy in the temple courts, not playing with kids, but hanging out with the PhDs, the religious leaders, talking theology. He's not learning from them, He's TEACHING them by listening and asking questions. They were amazed at His understanding.When Mary says "Why did you do this to us?" Jesus responds: "Did you not know I must be in My Father's house?" Even at 12, Jesus was fully aware of His calling and purpose.This is Jesus, fully God and fully man. The ultimate Passover Lamb celebrating Passover, already teaching the brilliant minds who would one day condemn Him. Everything in Scripture points to Jesus. #Christmas #Luke2 #BoyJesus #Passover #FullyGodFullyMan #RedemptionHillChurch
