Why We Do What We Do

How does God want us to rule over creation? That is what we endeavor to understand by exploring Why We Do What We Do at Redemption. What does it look like to be the redeemed humanity together as a church body? How do we order the church, its practices, its authority, its responsibilities to properly promote flourishing as God designed? How does what we do empower us as individuals and families to spread this Spirit-filled life into the world?

"For this is the will of God, your sanctification..."

(1 Thess 4:3a)

Sanctification

What is God's will for my life? There are many specific answers to that questions that you will find out as you live, but the general answer is: your sanctification.

The focus of adult Sunday School for the remainder of the Spring is sanctification. That is a big, fancy theological word meaning holiness. What does it mean to be holy? God tells us we must be holy as he is holy (1 Peter 1:16), so how do we become holy like him? 

In one sense, when we surrender our lives to Jesus, God sees us as holy because he sees us covered in Christ's holiness. This is positional holiness.

In another sense, we are on a path of sanctification. Not only are we holy in Christ, but his Spirit puts more of Christ in us so that we become personally holy ourselves (Galatians 2:20). God uses the circumstances of our lives, the people around us, the church, preaching, books, classes, and many other things to sanctify us, to make us more holy like Jesus.

But this isn't just a work of God all by himself. He commands us to pursue holiness (Hebrews 12:14). We ought to make conscious decisions to pursue more sanctification. 

Counseling and the Church

The purpose of Redemption Biblical Counseling and this Sunday School class is to both give you an understanding of the foundations that guide lasting biblical change as well as equip you to be the front lines of counseling in the church. Counseling is intense discipleship, which we are all called to do. Our counseling team strives to help the church make sense of the world and overcome spiritual challenges through intensive counseling and training in spiritual maturity. This course aims to help you be a strong first touch point in each other’s lives: listening well, knowing what to focus on, helping find meaningful change, speaking truth in love, and knowing when to involve the counseling team and pastors.

Minor Prophets: Background

This series through the Minor Prophets establishes the history and motivating factors for the Prophet’s declaration of the truth of God’s Word as they called the people of God to holiness and hope in YAHWEH.

This series identifies the principles and distinctions that are integral to Redemption City Church. It is designed to present the core beliefs that distinguish what we believe. You will learn what we believe as a church and why we believe it. Our hope is that you will be enriched and equipped to go out and live accordingly.
