In this message from Redeemer Church, Pastor Jason walks through Acts 15:36–16:10 as Paul and Barnabas part ways after a sharp disagreement, Paul recruits the young disciple Timothy, and the Holy Spirit redirects their second missionary journey toward Europe. The sermon highlights Timothy’s unlikely background, the quiet but world-changing faithfulness of his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois, and the call for every believer to engage in intentional discipleship—either as a Paul investing in the next generation or as a Timothy seeking mentors—so the gospel continues to advance.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

In this message from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, the sermon examines Acts 15 and the Jerusalem Council’s response to threats against the pure gospel of grace and tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers. It underscores that salvation rests solely on Christ’s finished work (“It is finished”), offers practical wisdom for unity across cultural differences by laying down freedoms that needlessly offend, and highlights the council’s clear call to abstain from sexual immorality as God’s good design for human flourishing. The message ends with a gospel invitation to repentance and the assurance of Christ as our advocate.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

In this sermon, Pastor Jason discusses the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, which is a pivotal moment in the early church when leaders had to answer an essential question: Is salvation received by God’s grace through faith, or must people earn it through religious works? As the Gentiles were coming to faith in Jesus, some Jewish believers insisted they first obey the Law of Moses—including circumcision—to truly be saved. Paul, Barnabas, Peter, and James firmly rejected this teaching, declaring that salvation has always been by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. The council concluded that believers should never place unnecessary burdens on those coming to Christ because Jesus has already accomplished everything necessary for salvation. The pastor challenges the church to see that this struggle still exists today.    Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

In the powerful conclusion to Redeemer Church’s summer series on the Book of Job, Pastor Josh Gatewood unpacks Job 42 and shows how we can cultivate real, lasting hope in seasons of hardship and suffering. After encountering God’s majesty, Job shifts from demanding explanations to trusting in a deeper relationship with his sovereign, good, and covenantal Lord—relenting from his complaints and laying his pain at God’s feet. This message reveals how the prayers, patience, and purpose of Job ultimately point us to Jesus, the one who stands in the gap, restores all things, and gives us unshakeable hope.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

In this sermon Pastor Matt Stephens, focuses on Job 38–41, where God finally answers Job—not by explaining his suffering, but by revealing Himself. After 35 chapters of questions and silence, God speaks from the whirlwind and responds with a series of questions that highlight His wisdom, power, and care over all creation. Rather than giving Job the reason for his suffering, God reminds him that He alone governs the universe, controls the chaos, and even holds the greatest forces of evil and death on a leash. Job’s deepest need was not an explanation but a renewed vision of who God is. The sermon emphasizes that bringing honest questions to God is not a lack of faith; it is often an act of holding on to Him. The main application was that while we may never receive answers to all our “why” questions, we can trust God’s heart because He has already demonstrated His love through Christ.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

This week in our sermon, Pastor Brandon Bergvall focuses on the long conversations between Job and his three friends (Job 4-37). Although the friends genuinely wanted to comfort Job, they assumed his suffering must have been the result of hidden sin. Their belief was simple: God always blesses the righteous, always punishes the wicked, and therefore anyone suffering must deserve it. While parts of their theology were true -- God is sovereign, just, and sin does have consequences -- their conclusions were wrong because Job was innocent. Their faulty understanding of God caused them to add to Job's pain instead of comforting him. Pastor Brandon's sermon emphasizes that bad theology makes bad friends, warning that half-truths about God can be deeply damaging when applied without wisdom or compassion.    Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

This sermon from Job 23 focuses on the question, “How do we worship while we wait?” Pastor Josh Gatewood explains that seasons of suffering, weakness, and feeling distant from God are a normal part of the Christian life. Like Job, believers may experience times when God seems absent, yet God is often using those moments to deepen their trust, teach dependence on Him, and reveal that His grace is sufficient. The message emphasized that deeper worship often comes through greater weakness, as trials expose our need for God and draw us closer to Him.

This sermon focused on how Christians can faithfully care for those who are suffering by following the example of Job’s friends in Job 2:11–13. Pastor Cole Rhodes emphasized that true comfort often comes through presence, sympathy, patience, prayer, and sometimes even silence rather than having the perfect words to say. Drawing from his own experience of deep personal loss and disappointment, he reminds us that Jesus understands our suffering, welcomes our honest struggles, and offers mercy instead of condemnation. The message encouraged believers to bear one another’s burdens and walk alongside hurting people for the long haul. Ultimately, the sermon pointed to Christ as the ultimate Comforter who uses suffering to draw us closer to Him and assures us that we are never abandoned in our pain.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

In this sermon pastor Jonathan Galvan walks us through Job 1–2 reminding us that suffering is a reality of life in a fallen world and can affect anyone, even the most faithful followers of God. Through Job’s response to unimaginable loss, we see an example of grieving honestly while continuing to worship and trust in God’s sovereignty. The message emphasized that Satan’s power is limited and that God remains in control, even in the midst of pain, loss, and hardship. While we may not always understand why God allows suffering, we can trust that He is working out His purposes and refining His people through trials. The sermon concluded with a personal testimony of loss, encouraging believers to cling to God’s character and sovereignty, trusting that His plans cannot be thwarted.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

In the opening message of a new summer series on the Book of Job, Pastor Josh Gatewood explores how we respond to unexpected and unexplained suffering. Through Job chapter 1, this sermon examines the tension between the brokenness of our world and the goodness of God, highlighting three essential truths: God’s sovereignty, the mystery of His ways, and the steadfast love of His heart. Whether you’re currently walking through hardship or preparing for future trials, this gospel-centered teaching reminds us that suffering is not meaningless and ultimately points us to Jesus, the better Job who suffered for us.
