Preparations for a New Year Series

Luke 1:39-56

The first Thanksgiving took place near the coast in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. After enduring persecution and hardship, the reminding survivors of the English Puritans, who left Leiden for the New World, sat down to their harvest feast to thank God for his provision and love. Looking at 1 Kings 8:62-66, we learn that thankfulness breed joy. However, also learning from the history of Israel and the history of our world that ungratefulness breeds judgment. This Thanksgiving take time to remember God's gift of salvation through Jesus Christ and give thanks. Reflect on the thousand graces in your life and give Him thanks. From the congregation of Redeemer Fellowship Church, have a happy Thanksgiving.

Redeemer focused on the issue of orphans on Orphan Sunday. The main idea of the sermon from Psalm 1 was Human Flourishing for all people is achieved in a relationship with God by adoption into Christ’s Kingdom

We have returned to our Book of Luke series. This is the third sermon of the series from Luke 1:26-38.

Soli Deo Gloria is the last sermon from our Reformation series. The main idea from Philippians 1:9-11 was God glorifies Himself alone through our salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ Alone according to Scripture alone. The three main points: 1. An Continually Abounding Love for God and Each Other Glorifies His Work in Us. 2. A Continually Growing Ability to Identify and Do the Better Things Glorifies His Work in Us. 3. A Continually Harvest of Christ-Centered Actions Glorifies His Work in Us.

Sola Scriptura was the first sermon of our 500 Years of Reformation Series.

Introduction of the themes in the Gospel of Luke. The sermon was the first in the Luke Series.
