Last Sunday, we began a 10-part teaching series through the Core Values of Redemption Church, beginning with the doctrine of the sufficiency of scripture. However, although Scripture is sufficient, it can only equip us to the degree in which we correctly understand the truth it presents. Therefore, correct and consistent interpretation of the Bible is vital for true spiritual growth. The method of interpretation that best helps us to arrive at the author’s original intended meaning is called the literal method, also known as the grammatical-historical method. Although a passage of Scripture can have multiple applications, it can only have one true interpretation. We make it our aim to arrive at the correct interpretation, so that we can arrive at the correct application for how the truth relates to our lives.

From Series: "Core Values"

At Redemption Church Christchurch, we have ten core values which guide the direction of our church.

Our statement of faith explains our church’s beliefs, and our mission statement explains the purpose for our church’s existence. But what our core values do, is that they explain the structure for how our church is to function in order to fulfil its God-given mission.

When it comes to the core values which guide a local church, it’s not so much a matter of relying on human creativity, but rediscovering the blueprint that God has already communicated in His Word.

We realise that the core values of our church may present foreign ideas to some Christians. It’s for this reason, we have listed each of the ten core values below, including a brief written summary, along with an audio link where people can listen to the Biblical foundation for each one.
