Sing

Dear Redeeming Grace, Within our family of churches called Sovereign Grace Churches, one of the many resources we're thankful for is Sovereign Grace Music. This ministry exists to "produce Christ-exalting songs and training for the Church from our local churches." This Sunday we're excited to be learning one of their new songs from a recent project they've been working ...

Scripture-Shaped Minds

Dear Redeeming Grace, For our second month of scripture memory, we are focusing on a verse that points to the beauty of enjoying God's grace together. As we learn and meditate on Hebrews 10:24-25, God is shaping the way we think. I love how author David Matthis in his book "Habits of Grace" helps us see scripture memory as an application of the prayer "Give us this day ou...

Futility or Fullness

Dear Redeeming Grace, Two words continue to help me reflect on Jason's message from our last meeting: futility or fullness. Life here on earth can be either one. I suspect we experience moments throughout our days that fall into both of those categories. There are times when we discover that our focus has been on ourselves and we've sought joy in what's temporary. We may...

Enjoying True Life

Dear Redeeming Grace, This week we begin our new sermon series titled "Ecclesiastes: Enjoying True Life", and we are eager to see how Ecclesiastes will lead us to better "enjoy the grace of God in Christ" and help others see how they lay hold of it through Jesus. We live in a world that is quite the enigma. It's a world that makes endless promises but rarely delivers on ...

Reviving the Soul

Dear Redeeming Grace, As we move towards the end of the first week of a new year, many of us may have started a Bible reading plan again, or perhaps for the first time. Some may be running strong, while for others there may already be temptations to feel guilty for not measuring up to their goals. Regardless of what plan you do or don't use, or how well you've gotten out...

All of Our Tomorrows

Dear Redeeming Grace, As we close the remaining pages on one year and open to the first pages of the next, it's helpful to reflect on God's sovereign care for us. I imagine that 2023 held for us days and seasons of both rejoicing and sorrow, celebration and sadness. And through it all, God was faithfully weaving your story with his utmost care and wisdom for what is best....

Unto You

Dear Redeeming Grace, With the celebration of Jesus's birth just days away, I suspect we may be reflecting on him more. And there are many passages of scripture that help us marvel at the gift of God's Son. One that has been on my heart and mind the last few days is the familiar passage from Luke 2. When an angel of the Lord visits the shepherds, watching sheep in the ni...

The Root of Jesse

Dear Redeeming Grace, Last week we considered how God accomplishes his purposes through His enduring faithfulness. The season of advent gives us ample opportunities to see examples of this in the coming of Christ. One example comes from the book of Romans through Isaiah 11. In Isaiah 11, God reveals this: "There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a bra...

Created for Good Works

Dear Redeeming Grace, In his message last week, Jason reminded us that Jesus transforms our lives to make us his own and make himself known. What a glorious truth to reflect on! One verse that helps me reflect on both these truths is Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in ...

And Be Thankful

Dear Redeeming Grace, As we have gathered with friends, family or loved ones yesterday, thanksgiving may still be lingering in our minds. This morning my mind was drawn to Paul's words in Col. 3: "And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful." (Col 3:15 ESV) I love the simplicity of those last 3 words. And...
