Just like the topic of the Lord’s Table, the subject of baptism can spark debate between denominations, churches, and friends. The oversimplification of the debate is this: is baptism conferred after a child is born, or is baptism for a person who has first made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ? Does the Bible affirm paedobaptism or credobaptism? In this sermon, I attempt to answer the questions.
In God's providence, Matthew 5:27-30 from the Sermon on the Mount fell on Father's Day. It's a passage that challenges husbands to fight against sexual sin and pursue faithfulness.
The Bible is amazingly practical, especially the Sermon on the Mount. In this sermon, learn from the words of Christ from Matthew 5:21-26. How can you deal with anger? And what steps should you take when you know you have sinned against a friend?
The goal of this sermon from Matthew 5:17-20 is to connect a few dots by showing how Christ understands his relationship to the Old Testament law. Matthew 5:17-20 might be the most debated passage in the Bible. So, how this passage is interpreted shapes how a person lives the Christian life.
After Jesus says, "Blessed are the persecuted," he sends his followers out into the world to be "salt" and "light." Watch or listen to the latest message from Redemption Hill to learn more about what it means to be a Christian in this broken world.
We read in Matthew 5:10-12 that Christians will be persecuted for two reasons. Christians will be persecuted for doing what is right (v. 10) and for following Christ (v. 11).
Hebrews 10:19-25 tells us what it looks like to have access to God and how the Christian life is experienced in the local church.
Jesus says, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." But what does it look like to receive a pure heart? And what does it look like to maintain a pure heart? The answers are the key to seeing God.
Pastors are called by God to point the flock of God to the chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. And this is done through the faithful stewarding of the Word of God and with prayer.
The question we are confronted with is this: Did Jesus rise from the dead? How you answer this question determines the course of your life.
