Everyone wants to live a life that counts—bold, courageous, and shaped by deep conviction. Yet living that way isn’t easy. In this message, we explore what faith in Jesus really looks like, and how trust in Him is formed and expressed through both the big, defining moments and the small, everyday decisions of life. How do we grow, cultivate, and step into a life truly marked by faith?

So often in leadership, the focus falls on structures, roles, vision, and goals. All of these matter. But there is another aspect of leadership that is sometimes less obvious, harder to define, yet just as important: culture.

In this talk, we reflect on what healthy culture looks like, why it shapes people more than we often realise, and how healthy leadership intentionally creates environments that do people good.

In this new season at Redeemer, we’re revisiting the issue of leadership and why it is foundational to church life. In this message we explore the biblical vision for elders and deacons, reframing leadership as servant-hearted responsibility, shared authority, and care for God’s people, so the church can flourish and bless the city.

In this new season of church life here at Redeemer, we’re revisiting the issue of leadership, and why it is such a foundation issue in church life.

In this message, we explore why leadership matters, why it can be sensitive, and how Scripture shapes a vision of leadership rooted in service, character, and humility. Drawing from the life of Jesus and the New Testament, we reflect on what it means to lead as stewards, not owners, so that the whole church can flourish.

In this opening message of the series, we explore the importance of prayer in our lives and why Jesus teaches us to begin by knowing God as our Father.

In this message we reflect on how Jesus brings peace to the world and to our hearts, and how, because he is with us, fear no longer has the final word.

In this message we explore Matthew’s contrast of Herod, the Magi, and the newborn King, revealing the challenge of Jesus’ authority, the wideness of His mercy, and His call for us to surrender and walk a new way.

As we approach the Advent season and reflect once again on the birth of Jesus, this first message in the series explores what it means to be a people who were “walking in darkness” but have now seen and experienced “a great light.”

In this message we explore the call on the Church to love the city. In particular to care for the disadvantaged and the marginalised. We consider what this means for us and how can we each get involved.

In the second of our talks on freedom, we explore the significance of what we truly believe and think, and how we need to learn to replace lies with truth.

In this message, we explore the meaning of freedom and what it signifies when Jesus proclaims that he has come to bring freedom to the oppressed.

In this message we look again at Jesus’ desire to not only ‘release to captives’ but bring recovery and restoration to our lives. In particular we focus on how learning to forgive others is such a powerful way of experiencing healing in our own lives.

As we continue our series on the church being good news in the city, we consider what it means to be a community that helps people come home to God.

In Luke 4 Jesus announces that he has come to being good news to the world, and that part of that good news is ‘ release for the captives.’ In this message we explore what it means to come home to God, and how everyone of us, no matter who we are or what we’ve done, can do that.

Luke 4 teach us that Jesus came to bring good news which means the church is meant to a blessing in the city. But how do we do that? What should we actually do? In this message we explore 5 practical ways that all believers can be good news where they live.

Jesus announces his mission in Luke 4 as being flooded with good news. He has come to bring forgiveness, freedom, release and healing to any who will receive him. This week we begin a series talking about what the church is called to, and why we are here in the great city of Rotterdam.

Through the story of Jairus and the healing of the woman suffering from bleeding, we explore the nature of faith and how we can nurture it in our own hearts.

In Luke 15, Jesus shares the well-known parable of the Lost Sheep. Through this story, we discover a profound truth: humanity is both utterly lost without God, but also completely and unconditionally loved by Him.

In this final message of the series, we look at Psalm 42 and consider what it means for our souls to long for God. We explore how this longing connects to the New Testament call to “walk by the Spirit” and why it is vital for each of us to cultivate a life of dependence on the Holy Spirit.

In this message we explore the issue of being Baptised in the Holy Spirit. We consider the different views held on this position, but also that whatever your view, the main emphasis of the New Testament is to go on asking for and receiving more of the Spirit.
