Sermons

Four Sundays ago, we began a 10-part teaching series through the Core Values of Redemption Church. So far, we have looked at sufficiency of Scripture, the interpretation of Scripture, and the application of Scripture, making the connection between God’s glory and our sanctification. Then last Sunday, we looked at the priority of the local church, as one of the primary means through which God sanctifies believers. In this week’s study, we will begin looking more closely as to how the local church is to function, starting with God’s purpose for leadership within the church. We will be looking at the various offices of church leadership, their function, their purpose, along with the qualifications required for a man to be considered as a leader 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.
