SERMONS

Sermons

While the Bible is made up of many stories and various genres of literature, it ultimately tells a single story of a Rescuer—Jesus—who has come to restore all things. The Bible is the perfect record of the story of God renewing the world in Jesus Christ, and therefore has everything to do with our lives in the modern world. The aim of preaching at Christ the Redeemer, then, is to see and share the love, truth and relevance of Jesus Christ as it is demonstrated in individual stories and passages of God’s Word. We encourage you to watch, listen to and/or download our sermons below.
