Community - Where Truth Meets Life
In this message, we explore why community is essential to following Jesus and how our relationships shape our spiritual growth. While our culture often tells us that faith is primarily private and that church is optional, Scripture presents a different picture. God calls us into community - a place where truth meets life. The essential context in which we learn to follow Jesus together, and where Christ meets us in the midst of our relationships, struggles, joys, and everyday lives.
The Art of Belonging - The Power and Problem of Belonging
God created us for deep fellowship with Him and meaningful relationships with one another - to know and be known, to belong and to grow together. Yet relationships can bring both great joy and deep challenge, exposing our brokenness through conflict, disappointment and hurt.
Psalm 51 - Create in me a pure heart
What happens when we’ve blown it? What happens when we end up doing things we never imagined possible?
Psalm 51 gives us David’s brutally honest response to failure, guilt and shame and shows us a way back to God. Through confession, surrender, cleansing and renewal, David discovers that our brokenness doesn’t have to be the end of the story. There is hope.
The Lord Will Provide
In this message we explore how God challenges Abraham to surrender the thing he values most, and how that surrender becomes the doorway to God's miraculous provision. We see that this is the pattern God calls us to embrace: surrender that leads to His provision, ultimately pointing us to Jesus, whose sacrifice on the cross makes God's greatest provision possible.
The Holy Spirit - Receive, walk, follow.
In this message, we explore the vital role of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. We look at God's invitation to each of us to receive the Spirit, walk with the Spirit, and be led by the Spirit each day.
Gratitude for the Past, Faith for the Future
As we celebrate the fourth anniversary of the beginning of Redeemer Rotterdam, we reflect with gratitude on all that God has done among us. We share some of the many reasons we are thankful, and we look ahead with faith, considering what we are praying for and hoping to see in the years to come.
Gideon - Let your kingdom come
In this message we explore Gideon’s victory over Midian and how it points to God’s Kingdom coming through Jesus. God uses ordinary, available people. Like Gideon, we are called to trust God’s promises and walk by faith, even when we feel weak or afraid. God hasn’t simply come to change our personal lives, He has come to draw us into His greater purposes as His Kingdom advances. Our stories are now part of something much bigger: God’s work in the world through His coming kingdom.
Gideon - Call and response
In this message, we explore Gideon’s encounter with God in Judges 6 - his doubts, God’s call, and Gideon’s response. We see how God initiates, calls the weak, and transforms lives. We also see how Gideon co-operates with God’s call, which raises the question, how do we keep our hearts receptive what God is saying and doing?
Gideon, Breaking the Cycle
Judges reveals a cycle of complacency, compromise, and struggle that speaks to the human condition and at times can even mirror our own lives. Yet when people cry out, God responds with grace. Gideon’s story shows our need for transformation, God’s willingness to rescue, and reminds us how critical it is to believe God’s word as we seek to break the cycle.
Baptism: The Symbol, the Sign, and the Step
On Easter Sunday, we considered the significance of baptism as a powerful symbol of cleansing, a sign of belonging, and a step of faith. Rooted in Jesus’ death and resurrection, it reveals new life, identity, and hope. This message invites each of us to consider our response.
God is still at work
In the second message of our series on Ruth, we consider the truth that even in the midst of loss, when we cannot see it, God is still at work. Here we explore the question: How do you believe when you cannot see?
Believe - living a life marked by faith
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?
Culture: Come With Us and We Will Do You Good
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.
Leading together
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.
Leading well
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.
Our Father
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.
Emmanuel, Jesus the great peace-bringer
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.
Where is the King?
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.
A Light Dawns
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.”
Compassion in the city
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.
