God's Grace & Faithfulness on Display at Redeemer


Thank you for checking in on our Redeemer family.  We are grateful for every prayer, dollar and word of encouragement and support!  To God be the glory - great things He has done!

New Creations

Putting Fundraising Packets Together
Jesus is always sweet to us.  Sometimes I see it more clearly than other times.  Recently we've seen it in how He is moving in the lives of people in our Redeemer family.  Recently, the Spirit has been whipping through our group - quickening dead hearts to life in Christ and taking new creations even deeper in their faith and following of Him.

We will be celebrating what God is doing with Redeemer's first baptism service on September 10th.  We are excited to celebrate two ladies who have put their faith in Jesus and want to publicly show that off.  Pray that the Spirit moves mightily and Jesus is honored by our time together.


Gospel-centered Community
Family BBQ
We continue to meet each Sunday to grow in grace together through time in the Word, singing, praying, confessing and enjoying time together.  Pray with us that God will use this time of exalting Jesus and proclaiming the gospel as a family to draw others to God's family and our Redeemer family.

Our Tuesday Men's and Women's Bible Studies continue to grow in both depth and numbers.  It is exciting to see what God does when people gather together to drink deeply from the Word by the help of the Spirit.  Pray the Lord continues to bless those times.

Special bragging: My wonderful, beautiful wife Erin has been serving and loving the people of Redeemer (especially her husband!) and we could not be doing this without her.  She is God's greatest gift to me and is working so hard for the Lord in all of this!

Along with these times the Lord has used cookouts, baseball games, Pintrest parties and other things to continue to build community with out group!


Gospel in the Public Square
Faith and Culture on the Square
This summer we experimented with something we called Faith and Culture.  Once a month we rented a coffee shop after hours to host a time to tackle a specific issue in our culture and see how it is seen through the lens of the Scriptures.  It turned out to be a big hit with people requesting we continue to do it through the fall.  Please join us in praying that God would use that to draw skeptics to the truth and all people to worship Jesus more deeply.





Neighbors Wanting the Gospel
Preaching at Mercy Church
Recently we have had two sets of neighbors who are reluctant to come to our "small group" who have told us they are waiting for us to launch services in order to join us.  One family has already said they will be there everyone Sunday.  We are praying that the Lord has their names in the Book of Life and that when we launch they will hear the gospel and become worshippers of Jesus alongside us in our city!


Proclaiming the Gospel
I have been privileged the last couple months to get to preach 3 different times.  I'm always grateful for the opportunities to speak of Jesus and for those that trust me with their pulpits and people.  Can't wait for the day to get to do that we our own people soon!


We Need Your Help
While Jesus has done some amazing things lately we know He is just getting started.  
We want to see even more disciples made in our city!

Would you consider helping us in one (or more) of three ways?


Pray
Please pray that God would move mightily in our family and create disciples who treasure Jesus above all else.

Give
We need help in order to be able to reach even more people with the gospel.
Would you consider giving a one-time or regular gift to help us build Gospel-centered community and proclaim Jesus publicly in our city?
