Sermons

Five Sundays ago, we began a 10-part teaching series through the Core Values of Redemption Church. Last Sunday, we looked at the subject of the priority of the local church, whereas this coming Sunday, we will be looking more closely at the aspect of leadership within the church. When we look to Scripture, we see that God has ordained two main offices of leadership within the local church to declare and defend the truth of His Word, which are elders and deacons. An elder is a God-appointed spiritual leader who is called to protect, feed, lead, and care for the flock of God. A deacon is a God-appointed spiritual leader who has been called to oversee the practical & welfare needs within the local church. Both of these offices of church leadership require that men are Biblically qualified, as they work together to best serve members within the church.

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.
