Here is a preview of what’s to come:This Sunday | May 19th - Jesus' First Post- Resurrection Appearance to his Disciples - John 20:19-23 - Rev. Josh Eby Next Sunday | Ma...

Redeemer OC PodcastWoven Together Explicit content warning, especially for parents.The passage of 1Corinthians we are currently studying together does not shy away from talking explicitly about sex. Pastor Adam set the context for us last week, powerfully calling all of us to greater honesty with our sexual struggles and reminding us that what we do with our physical bodies is deeply entwined with our spiritual lives. This week and next we will stay in the same passage and ask, “Why does it matter so much what we do with our bodies, especially sexually?” This week we will focus on what we l...

Redeemer OC PodcastUndershepherd This Sunday as part of our morning worship service, our presbytery will install Rev. Adam Feichtmann as Redeemer’s Associate Pastor. This is an important Sunday in the life of our church.Jesus is the great shepherd who promises to lead, guide, and protect his people. To fulfill that promise Jesus gives his Church undershepherds, pastors and elders, to carry out his shepherding ministry in the concrete specifics of our daily lives. Jesus’ undershepherds are a gift from a God who loves us, but a gift often misunderstood and therefore underutilized. The installation homily will help us see...
2015-11-0138 minRedeemer OC PodcastUnderstanding/Misunderstanding Jesus Jesus is a very odd sort of King. He is simple, yet complicated. His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday 2,000 years ago reminds us that he is not the King we expected, but he is the King we needed.Jesus at times can be easily understood, and yet, at other times be easily misunderstood. This Sunday, Palm Sunday, we will study a passage where three different groups of people understand but also misunderstand Jesus. It will feel normal to relate to each of these groups as they understand/misunderstand Jesus. Our goal for the morning will...

This prayer that Jesus taught his disciples is rich with meaning and sets forth a wonderful example and pattern for us to pray in weekly worship, as families, with friends, and by ourselves. However, from time to time it is worthwhile for us to pause and remind ourselves of the truths that are placed in the preface and each of the six petitions.This Sunday we will have the joy to pause and look at the preface and first petition found in Matthew 6:9, “Our...

In John 6:1-15 we read about Jesus miraculously feeding a massive gathering of folks – all from 5 measly loaves and 2 fish. Pause and just imagine the size of that crowd!So far, we’ve seen that Jesus has been performing miracles and teaching about the kingdom of God. As he has gone from town to town, word has begun to spread about him. His popularity has now attracted a huge following, and in front of them he chooses to display his abundant power and generosity by feeding them all.Abundant...

One of the highlights of Christmas for me was the chance to savor the sweetness of great food and drink around the table with my family. For most of us, we have been blessed to acquire tastes for food and drink, as well as gain wisdom in our tastebuds to know when certain foods or drinks fall short.In Psalm 119:97-104, our Scripture passage for this Sunday, we have...
