New Sermon Series: Songs of Christmas
November 20, 2024
Our King and Savior now draws near: Come let us adore him. I love these words from the Book of Common Prayer, for use in public worship this time of year, welcoming us into the hope of the Advent of Our Lord. Just writing these words down here for you makes me want to start singing: “O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord!” Truth be told, I did break out into the first verse of “O Come, All Ye Faithful” at my desk while writing this paragraph. Then I listened to Carrie Underwood sing it just a wee bit better than I did!
In doing all that, ...

November 13, 2024
Dear Members and Friends,
As we look back on our 2024 ministry year, there is much to be thankful for. We held our bi-annual Culture Conference in April, with our guest Dr. Brian Fikkert better equipping us to love our neighbors well in the face of material and spiritual poverty. We continued focusing on shepherding the congregation well, led by Rev. Dr. Bryant McGee, whom we installed as Associate Pastor of Congregational Care in June. Our Spanish-speaking ministry is growing beautifully under the leadership of newly installed Assistant ...
New Sermon Series! Mark: The Gospel of King Jesus
August 14, 2024
This Sunday, August 18th, Redeemer will begin our fall sermon series “Mark: The Gospel of King Jesus.” The word “gospel,” meaning “good news,” has its roots both in the Old Testament and the Roman Empire. In the Old Testament, the phrase “good news” is closely associated with the prophet Isaiah who prophesied the “good news” of God’s return to Israel to restore the Kingdom. In the Roman world, Caesar Augustus proclaimed “The beginning of the gospel concerning himself” whenever his reign and rule extended to new peoples and regions....

New Sermon Series! Proverbs: The Wisdom of God
May 20, 2024
This Sunday, May 26th, Redeemer will start a new sermon series in the book of Proverbs called The Wisdom of God. Each time I read the Proverbs I am struck by a particular passage from Proverbs 8:
“The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth…when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and ...

The 2024 Culture Conference at Redeemer
December 06, 2023
Registration for the 2024 Culture Conference at Redeemer is open now! Click here to learn more and RSVP.
As you and I drive around San Antonio, we do not have to look far to see the familiar signs of a problem common in almost every city, state and country – poverty. It shows up on cardboard signs at intersections asking for food or money, broken-down public housing and underperforming schools in low-income neighborhoods. For all the things we love and celebrate about San Antonio, it is among the poorest major cities in the nation....

"The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world." (John 1:9)
On December 3rd, the first Sunday of Advent, we will begin a new sermon series at Redeemer: Exodus: From Darkness to Light. The Book of Exodus will serve as our scriptural home base for worship and preaching across the next four months, from Advent leading up to Holy Week, as we trace the arc of God’s mercies to his people in delivering us from slavery into freedom, from death to life, from darkness to light, from wilderness weariness to true rest.

The Meaning of Marriage: A New Spiritual Formation Class for Adults.
August 21, 2023
Writing to a Greco-Roman world in which marriage relationships were seldom for love, and rarely monogamous, Paul penned these words to the church at Ephesus: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church” (Ephesians 5:31-32). In just a few sentences, Paul laid the groundwork for the Roman world to receive the joys of Christian marriage.
This fall, Redeemer is launching a new Spiritual ...
Acts: The Story of the Church.
May 15, 2023
It has been such an encouraging time in the life of Redeemer Presbyterian Church! In the last six months, we’ve welcomed new staff members, including Paul Hahn, our Lead Pastor. We are pursuing a land purchase as our footprint in the city grows. We’ve seen babies born, new members welcomed, and longtime members renewed in the gospel. After a beautiful Easter service in April, it has been a joy to dig into Luke’s gospel as we explore the effects of Jesus’ resurrection for our life together. And yet with all of God’s faithfulness to us, even as ...

Easter with Luke: New Sermon Series Starts April 16th.
April 12, 2023
Dear Redeemer Family,
Happy Easter! Alongside a greater Paul, I deliver to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred…. (I Corinthians 15:3-6)
This Sunday, April 16th, we will begin a new sermon series, “Easter with Luke.” With Easter Sunday behind us, this may sound like an odd title....
