Redeemer Church WichitaThe Lord’s Prayer: Dr. Vic GordonThis past Sunday Pastor Vic continued our series on the Sermon on the Mount by preaching on Matthew 6:5-15. He laid a framework for prayer by focussing on God as a God who speaks and desires to listen to us. Prayer is communication with God where we hear from him and speak back to him. Pastor Vic walked us through the Lord’s prayer line by line to show us why Jesus modeled this prayer and the implications for us. He emphasized six key characteristics of kingdom people. Kingdom people… think when they pray seek to pray well pray for the Ki...2023-05-2839 min

Redeemer Church WichitaJesus, the older brother, and fasting This past Sunday Pastor Morgan continued our Sermon on the Mount series. This week we focussed on Matthew 6:16-18. For context, Morgan walked us through Luke 15:28-32 and Tim Keller’s work from his book The Prodigal God. Specifically, we focussed on the attitude and spirit present in the older brother in this story. The older brother is representative of the dangers of the wrong motivations for good works, specifically to elevate the self and to transactionally receive something in return for our good works. In the beginning of Matthew 6, as pastor Morgan alluded to last week, Jesus is teaching us ab...2023-05-2151 min

Redeemer Church WichitaJesus and Good WorksThis past Sunday Pastor Morgan continued our Sermon on the Mount series. This week we focussed on Matthew 6:1-4. Here, Jesus is speaking to the motives behind our good words, specifically how we can sometimes treat this as a transactional relationship. Jesus is targeting the motivation that leads to good works for the purpose of being seen and praised by others. It is a motivation that is more focussed on performance than reality. Jesus cares about our good works, but he also cares about why we do them. The reason for our good works is not to exalt ourselves in the...2023-05-151h 00

Redeemer Church WichitaEaster: Laundry, Scars, and First NamePastor Jon gave the message this week from John 20:1-18. His message centered on 3 things: laundry, scars, and a first name. Regarding laundry (vs. 6-7), Jon showed us the significance of the folded linens in Jesus’ tomb after his resurrection. The fact that scripture notes that the linens were folded is specific and unique. If thieves had broken in to steal the body, surely they would have left the linens in tatters or ruin. If friends had broken in to steal Jesus’ body, surely they wouldn’t have desecrated his body by removing the linens. No, the linens were folded and left...2023-04-0947 min

We love it when our kids get to lead us in worship! This week Morgan’s messaged focused on the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem that began what many in church history refer to as Holy Week. To begin the message, Morgan identified how anger can reveal what we treasure in life, and specifically, at the root of most of our anger can be missed expectations. So what happe...2023-04-0247 min

Redeemer Church WichitaCommunal PrayerYesterday, Pastor Jon wrapped up our prayer series by teaching us on the corporate or communal nature of prayer. He pointed us to numerous examples in scripture where we see the people of God coming together to pray: Acts 2:42, 6:6, 12:5, and 13:1-3. This was to point out and emphasize that Redeemer as a church is committed to praying together. The spirit of God will not pour out of our lives if we aren’t in prayer. Pastor Jon challenged us to consider if we desire to hear the voice of God through prayer more than we desire to hear the voice of J...2023-03-2620 min

Redeemer Church WichitaPrayer: Daniel 6To begin, Pastor Morgan reminded us that prayer is our practical expression of our need for God - an acknowledgment that we cannot live this life without him. One of the goals of prayer is to navigate life with a posture of awareness of & connection to God. But what does this actually look like? This is where we turn to the example of Daniel found in Daniel 6:1-28. “For every New Testament point, there is an Old Testament story or illustration.” To understand Daniel, we have to understand Babylon. Babylon was a kingdom that deified (idolized) their culture, language, and politic...2023-03-1958 min

Redeemer Church WichitaPrayer: Talking to God Part 2Yesterday, Pastor Jon continued in week two of our Prayer series. By way of reminder, he emphasized that our focus on the practices of following Jesus in community is not legalistic or compulsory. As a church, we will make recommendations to you, and you get to make decisions. This is invitational, not required. At the same time, Pastor Jon wanted to be clear as to why we desire for you to implement these practices: This is what we need in our lives. We need to connect with God A core part of being in Redeemer is implementing these practices If y...2023-03-1248 min

Redeemer Church WichitaPrayer: Talking to GodPastor Jon began our teaching series on the spiritual practice of Prayer. To do this, Jon taught us from the words of Jesus in Luke 11:1-4 — Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.’” Pastor Jon pointed...2023-03-0549 min

Redeemer Church WichitaSermon on the Mount: Jesus and AngerAs we move through the next few weeks of teaching, Pastor Jon gave us a structural tool to understand what Jesus is doing. Jesus is not dismissing the Old Testament in any way, rather he is showing us the correct and true interpretation of some key Old Testament teachings - the deeper righteousness of Godliness. Jesus does this by first saying, “you have heard it said” (Old Testament teaching). Next he says, “but I say to you” (Jesus’ interpretation). Lastly, Jesus gives us little steps or ways we can embody and apply these truths in our lives (obedience). Here is the patter...2023-02-2036 min

So far, we have covered the series of blessings found in the Beatitudes as well as the two metaphors of salt and light.

Redeemer Church WichitaSermon on the Mount: Salt and LightThis week Pastor Jon showed the tension we may feel when Jesus is now telling us that, as his followers, we aren’t allowed to hide! Even though we are called to humility or to suffer for Jesus’ name sake, following Jesus is not intended to be something we hide from others. Specifically, Jesus used 2 metaphors for demonstrate this. The first metaphor was that we are to be the salt of the earth. In current times, when someone is described as salty we typically think they are angry or bitter, so why is Jesus telling us to be “salty?” We have to co...2023-02-0546 min

Redeemer Church WichitaSermon on the Mount: Poor in SpiritPastor Morgan shared a line to begin our time that I believe is very important to remember, “the foundation of the Sermon on the Mount is on who Jesus is.” Jesus was the original proclaimer of the gospel. Jesus lived and taught that the Kingdom of God was now and not yet. Jesus himself had ushered in the reign of God, this was the good news of the gospel for the now. While we wait for the “not yet” of Jesus return, he gave us his Sermon on the Mount as our framework for how to be Kingdom people. Additionally, while our...2023-01-2948 min

Redeemer Church Wichita5 Marks of the Early Church: Sexual EthicThe fifth and final mark of the early church was their counter-cultural sexual ethic. Before we dove too deep into the topic, Pastor Morgan took the time to acknowledge two things: 1) We must work to not make the conversations surrounding sex and our bodies only an intellectual one. We all have very tangible stories and experiences when it comes to this topic and it's easy to distance ourselves by keeping it intellectual. 2) Because of this, we recognize that teaching and dialogue around the topic of sexuality can be triggering for some. Church leaders in the past have not always handled...2023-01-1551 min

Our text was 1 Cor 13: 1-3 which is considered the "Love chapter" of the bible. Nothing matters if you don't love. Sanctity of Life is a tough topic that many churches do not address. Jon was open and honest about his fears of traumatizing, hurting or alienating people today. Redeemer began discussing this when Roe was overturned. Morgan and Jon invited the women of Redeemer to discuss so they could just listen. Jon started with an important history...2022-12-1150 min

Redeemer Church Wichita5 Marks of the Early Church: Non-violenceMorgan continued today with the 3rd mark of the early church, non-violence. Edwin Stanton was an enemy of Abe Lincoln. He took every opportunity to embarrass and humiliate Mr. Lincoln. When President Lincoln was elected, he selected Edwin Stanton as his Sec of War. Many advisors thought this was foolish and tried to convince Pres. Lincoln to select someone else. President Lincoln's response was "He is the best man for the job." Pres Lincoln could have retaliated. He had the power to destroy Edwin Stanton, but instead he placed him in a position of power. He rose above hate. When Pres Linc...2022-12-0454 min

Redeemer Church Wichita5 Marks of the Early Church: A Multiethnic CommunityLast week Jon spoke on loving the poor and this week Morgan spoke on multi ethnic churches. He kicked us off with a joke centered around how divisive the church is today. There are so many divisions among Christians, denominations, etc. We live in a divisive world and the church shares it's own version of division. We have to be carful because as the world secularizes, it will lean towards politics. Politics is no longer a way to lead and solve problems. Politics is now a way to divide and it's thick within the church. We cannot be discipled by politic...2022-11-2753 min

Redeemer Church WichitaSabbath: WorshipSome may wonder why the focus on Sabbath the past few weeks. Jon and Morgan firmly believe that spiritual formation is key to Redeemer. Bible reading, prayer, sabbath and other spiritual practices are rapidly declining. They want to introduce us to spiritual practices to grow our faith. We all need mentorship in these areas. Quick overview of the four areas surrounding Sabbath we have discussed: Stop, Rest, Delight and Worship. Here are the scriptures we have used along the way. Gen 2: 1-3, Exodus 31:15, Col 2: 16, Mark 2:27, Exocus 16: 23-25, and Romans 12:1. Jon started off this past Sunday...2022-11-1340 min

Redeemer Church WichitaSabbath: DELIGHT | Mark 2:23-28Morgan preached this week as we continued diving into the commandment of Sabbath. Morgan made clear their agenda is to push us to be more like Jesus and Sabbath is a key piece of this. Morgan started with a story of a family that won the lottery. They imaged all their dreams coming true and no more pain and suffering due to this massive amount of money they won. In reality, this windfall of money led to fighting, greed, confusion and ultimately divorce. The statistics show that the majority of lottery winners that take the full sum, have...2022-11-061h 04

Recently the CEO of this company was convicted of fraud. Everything about this was a fraud. And....everyone involved at the company knew it was a fraud.

The lionfish is taking over the Atlantic ocean even though there have been many efforts to contain them. Finally, Florida told their people that they have to kill them to control their growth.

Morgan started with the story of John Graham Burge, an American police detective for the Chicago police department who was found guilty of having "directly participated in or implicitly approved the torture" of at least 118 people in police custody in order to force false confessions. He was later convicted, but this is a very real event from our time where a man took advantage of his authority. Our history has many examples of where this has happened. Abuse of power is a very real thing. Power can become the weapon of the insecure. With great...2022-09-2551 min

Redeemer Church WichitaThe Origin of Jesus | Matthew 1: 1-24Jon took us into Matthew 1: 1-24 today. If you have ever been to therapy, it may start with a discussion of your family and how that has impacted you. Our origin has influence. Our origin shapes and forms us. Through the origin of Jesus, we see who Jesus is and in turn we can see who we are. This is why Matthew tells the story of the origin and genealogy of Jesus. Just a reminder that Matthew was writing to a Jewish audience and the book of Matthew was written 20 years after the death of Jesus. Over and over in...2022-09-1843 min

Redeemer Church WichitaUnlikely People | Matthew 1:1-17Morgan started us off looking at Matthew 1:1-17 and compared it to the famous violinist who sold out a concert at Carnegie Hall and the next day stopped and took time to play in the NYC subway. Very few stopped to enjoy his amazing music. They had no idea who was in their midst. Matthew 1 is similar to this in that Matthew is laying literary art before us. To a Jewish leader, this is dripping with history, stories and beauty. This is rich theology and not just biblical genealogy. Many of us skim over these verses and pay little attent...2022-09-1140 min

Jon started the discussion by showing in scripture where the message of the gospel goes across cultures. We are going to see things differently and that's OK. Can we allow space for our differences? Can we be a community and love and serve each other? Historically, the church has engaged in culture in 3 different ways: 1. Christ against culture: be out of the world, culture is too bad so we remove ourselves. An example might be an Amish community. John 17: 9 states how he is prayi...2022-08-1445 min

"How much money would satisfy you?" Sometimes we want all the benefits of money but not the problems that may come with it. Many lottery winners destroy their lives. Sometimes there is no control for greed. We think we need more money, more blessings, more, more, more.... The world tells us we constantly need more. We have more freedom and opportunity than any other country in the world and we continue to want more. This led us to g...2022-07-2442 min

Redeemer Church WichitaAre We Shaped By Culture or Christ? | Redeemer Church WichitaMorgan continued our Vision and Values series in I Corinthians 15: 1-11. Corinth was the center for everything back in the day. The very air was about social status, autonomy and all about the pursuit of pleasure. Morgan compared this to our world today. Are we being shaped by culture or by Christ? We are to be present in the world, but also be a distinct people. Greatness is not dominating people but serving people. Our identity needs to be in Jesus, not our jobs, our kids, our looks, etc. How do we exist in Christ and in Wichita...2022-06-0543 min

Redeemer Church WichitaCreating Mature Disciples of Jesus Christ | Matthew 28:16-20 | Redeemer Church WichitaMorgan preached on Matthew 28:16-20 and discussed our mission at Redeemer to create mature disciples of Jesus Christ. We want to become a worshipping community loving God and our neighbors. He discussed the disciples and how they doubted that Jesus really arose. They doubted so that we might not doubt. Our journey is complex and may waver between trusting and questioning and that's OK. The disciples were no different than us. We should not demonize doubting and realize those seasons happen to all of us. Doubting faith is actually a sign you have faith. "Doubt is not always a...2022-04-241h 12

We have victory over death. Many live their life in denial of death and will at all costs avoid pain and suffering to avoid the inevitable. Death is unavoidable and does not discriminate.
