Sermons

Two Sundays ago, we began a 10-part teaching series through the Core Values of Redemption Church. We began by identifying that Scripture is sufficient to fully equip us for a life of faith and service. Then last Sunday, we identified that God’s Word can only equip us to the degree in which we rightly understand it, therefore, correct & consistent interpretation of God’s Word is essential. However, as we’re going to identify in this week’s study, a correct understanding of Scripture can only benefit us to the degree in which it is rightly applied to our lives. We are told in Scripture that we are to be doers of the Word, and not just hearers only. Yet at the same time, we don’t have the power to change ourselves, any more than we have the power to save ourselves. In this study, we will be looking at the priority of spiritual growth, along with how it actually takes place.

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.
