The season of Epiphany calls us to slow down and pay attention to the divine presence of God revealed in Christ.

    Look for the Light (Part 1): The Magi

    Look for the Light (Part 1): The Magi David Armstrong brings the first talk in a new series, 'Look for the Light: An Epiphany Series' that calls for us to slow down during this season of Epiphany and pay attention to the divine presence of God. As seen in the coming of Christ, God is so often found in the darkest and most unlikely of places waiting to be discovered.  The first story we reflect upon is from the Christmas story from Matthew 2:1-12 and the moment when the Magi, the wise people from the east, follow their curiosity and longing to find and visit Jesus as a child at his birth.

    Advent: Love Lifts All Places - Jason Miller (Guest)

    Advent: Love Lifts All Places - Jason Miller (Guest) Many of us yearn for sacred spaces, believing true purpose lies elsewhere—in a grander city or a different life. But what if the divine arrives not where we expect, but in the ordinary, even out-of-the-way places we inhabit? In this Advent message, Jason reflects on his deeply personal connection to South Bend, Indiana, and how a fresh reading of the Christmas story in Luke’s Gospel challenges our assumptions about sacred geography, quietly elevating Bethlehem—an unexpected and unimpressive town—into a place of profound divine significance. Through this lens, we are invited to see how God’s presence has the power to transform any place, and any circumstance, into sacred ground when met with love. As Christ enters the world, our everyday “Bethlehems” are lifted up, becoming spaces of meaning, hope, and the tangible presence of God. Chapters/Timestamps: [00:52] Notice: Christmas Compassion Appeal 2025 [03:20] Introduction to Jason Miller and South Bend City Church [06:53] Sermon - Jason Miller About Jason Miller Jason serves as a pastor at South Bend City Church (IN, USA), a sister church and kindred community to us at Redeemer Central. SBCC are described as 'community of grace & peace for our city and the world', a Jesus-centred community not afraid to wrestle with the tensions of ancient faith in a modern world.

    The Familiar Stranger: Part 8 — Healing & Redemptive Suffering

    Stephanie Wilson continues The Familiar Stranger series with a powerful message that speaks to the reality of suffering in the human experience. She reminds us that suffering isn’t evidence of God’s absence but the very place where God meets us—the Holy Spirit groaning with us, comforting us in our pain, and bringing new life through our struggles. This healing presence leads to profound redemption, where scars become means of grace, wounds expand our capacity for love, and our hope in Jesus assures us that suffering is never the final word in our story. This recording also includes a Remembrance Sunday Prayer, some notices on upcoming gatherings plus a special honouring of Ian & Libby Ryans as they step down from 8 years of leading our Farmbox ministry.  Chapters/Timestamps: [00:30] Worship & Prayer [01:41] Remembrance Sunday Prayer [03:51] Honouring Ian & Libby Ryans (Farmbox) [09:20] Notice: Dinners [10:22] Notice: Carols by Candlelight [10:57] Notice: Dinners (updated) [12:34] Sermon *** 🌿 Give & Support Redeemer Central is a diverse and vibrant church in the heart of Belfast, practicing the way of Jesus through simple, intentional, and inclusive community, and seeking the peace and common good of our city. ~  You can support our ongoing work by giving financially at redeemercentral.com/give.

    The Familiar Stranger: Part 7 — The Subtle Tragedy of Nicodemus

    We often seek explanations before we are willing to experience God yet this is a reversal of the scriptural pattern where experience often precedes understanding.  David Armstrong explores the story of Nicodemus, a high-ranking Pharisee, and his encounters with Jesus across three key scenes: a secret night visit, a public festival, and the solemn act of a burial.  Nicodemus’s story invites us to let go of our need for certainty and step into the mystery of faith—to move beyond belief into the wonder of being born again by the Spirit? *** 🌿 Give & Support Redeemer Central is a diverse and vibrant church in the heart of Belfast, practicing the way of Jesus through simple, intentional, and inclusive community, and seeking the peace and common good of our city. ~  You can support our ongoing work by giving financially at redeemercentral.com/give.
