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....
New Sermon Series! Exodus: From Darkness to Light
November 27, 2023
"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 ...

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)

Ten Words for Lent and Obedience from the Heart
February 21, 2023
