Sermons

Three Sundays ago, we began a 10-part teaching series through the Core Values of Redemption Church. We began by considering the sufficiency of Scripture, followed by the interpretation of Scripture. Then last Sunday, we looked at the application of Scripture, as we made the connection between our sanctification and God’s glory. In this week’s study, we will be looking at one of the primary means of a believer’s sanctification, which is the local church. In this study, we will be defining what the local church is, the purpose of the local church, the essential & non-essential elements of a biblically functioning church, along with the responsibility of every believer to be committed to a local 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.
