REDEEMER COMING EVENTS
- Sunday mornings at Redeemer – we’ll be preaching out of the book of Philippians throughout the summer.
- Thursday morning, May 23, 9:30-11:30 AM. Come and learn about Understanding Islam and sharing Jesus with Muslims. Jonathan Swift, missionary to Muslims in Beirut, Lebanon for the past several years, will be with us. All are invited to come and learn.
In this
lesson on gaining a greater understanding for reaching Muslims with the Gospel
of Jesus we will work through our subject together through essentially two
movements: “Knowing the Gospel” and “Applying the Gospel,” taking this second
movement in two parts, (a) “Preaching the Gospel to Yourself,” and (b) “Sharing
the Gospel with Your Muslim Friend.” Hopefully the first three sections will be
a bit of a review, but an indispensable foundation (“for [the gospel]
is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes…” Rom 1:16) and an empowering
reminder of the life-giving truths and promises of all God is for us and all
God has done for us in Jesus, nevertheless. The bulk of our time, of course,
will be spent on the last section ("Sharing the Gospel with your Muslim
Friend"). This section will include an overview of the main religious
objections and cultural “hurdles” the vast majority of Muslims bring to a
conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and explore ways to best respond
lovingly and “in step with the truth of the Gospel” (Gal 2:14).
- Sunday morning, May 26 – Jim and Denise Hunter will preach on “Abiding in Christ.”
- Prayer Summer – June 1 – August 31. A challenge for Redeemer people to pray 30-60 minutes a day, 5 days a week, throughout the summer. Remember the promises given to God’s people when they pray, from a verse like 2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
