Sermon this Sunday

Jordan Kauflin — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:17:48 +0000

I was scheduled to preach on the topic of deacons this Sunday (and who isn’t excited about hearing a message on deacons? Right?). The primary objective was to have a resource that we could direct people to with questions about the role in our church. However, in interacting with many of the members in Redeemer, it seems like most people’s questions have been answered and frankly, I would rather preach on something else!

Having said that, if you have any additional questions related to the deacon’s role or function at Redeemer, I am happy to interact with you (really, I am!).

For this Sunday, instead of talking about deacons, we are going to study Psalm 22 together.

Please be praying that God will meet us as we study this passage. These verses directly tie into our series in John and the account of Jesus’ crucifixion. They give us both a deeper understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice and immense practical hope in the midst of our own suffering.

See you on Sunday.

How does the Gospel inform our communication in marriage? How do we think through issues like trust, tone, and timing? How do we guard against sinful judgment and actively encourage our spouses? Bob & Julie Kauflin talked through questions like these at the last marriage night.

Topics:

A Passion for Revival:Lessons from the Life of Sarah Edwards

In 1742 during a revival at Northampton, Sarah Edwards, the wife of the great preacher Jonathan Edwards, experienced the love and grace of God in an extraordinary and profound way. She wrote, “I was entirely swallowed up in God, as my only portion, and his honour and glory was the object of my supreme desire and delight.” Her experience of the reality of the love of God released her from fearing the opinions of others, liberated her from judging others, empowered her with a genuine love toward everyone she knew (including those who opposed her husband’s ministry) and equipped her to face the most appalling suffering without giving way to bitterness or fear. Sarah’s life and testimony should encourage us to face trials with serenity. It should also inspire us to pray with greater fervor for God to work in revival once more.

A Passion for Mission:Lessons from the Life of Ann Judson

Adoniram Judson and his wife Ann were among the first group of American missionaries to go overseas. Ann served with her husband in Burma from 1813 until her death in 1826 at the early age of 37. We will look at Ann’s life and testimony, and learn from her consecration to Christ, her confidence in the sovereignty of God, her determination to be faithful to Scripture whatever the cost, her submission to the will of God in times of suffering and her willingness to persevere in the work of the Gospel through times of seemingly little success. She always placed her own comfort and happiness in second place to the work of the Kingdom. Her example encourages us to greater zeal in praying for and supporting mission work today.

A Passion for Holiness:Lessons from the Life of Frances Ridley Havergal

Frances Ridley Havergal was born in 1836 in a tiny hamlet in the depths of the Worcestershire countryside in England. She was to become one of the best-known Christian writers of the nineteenth century. Her hymn, “Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee,” sums up the passion of her life. She chose to serve as a single woman, and throughout her short life (she died at the age of 42), she was engaged in a range of extraordinarily productive ministries. Looking at her life will challenge us to ask the questions: Are all my words consecrated to the Lord Jesus? Do I spend time with Him each day? Do I seek to obey God’s solemn command: “Be holy, as I am holy”?

This Sunday – April 21st, 2012

Jordan Kauflin — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 02:25:33 +0000
