Our passion is to be a church that joyfully declares the supernatural work that God IS doing and WILL DO in the lives of His people through the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Just as churches in the New Testament were known by the heart and life of Christ, our church must embrace this same identity.
Living in a world that champions ambiguity, it is our passion to declare the mission and message of Jesus Christ with clarity. Thus, our name should reveal the bold truth of who we are – and whose we are.
WHAT DOES OUR NAME MEAN?
REDEMPTION BIBLE CHURCH
Redemption is the act where Jesus pays the deadly, eternal price our sin required and delivers us to live in His identity of eternal forgiveness, joy, and freedom. Jesus changes everything. He takes our broken fellowship with Him, our broken life, and redeems it – and the result is unmistakably glorious (Isaiah 61:3).
Redemption declares we have a new identity.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
- Romans 3:23-24
Redemption declares we are eternally free and eternally secure!
“But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.” - Hebrews 9:11-12
Redemption declares we are forgiven of any and all sin!
“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
- Colossians 1:13-14
Redemption declares we can worship with thunderous joy.
“He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!” - Psalm 111:9
Redemption declares what we want for the world!
“O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.” - Psalm 130:7
Redemption declares our future hope!
“For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved.”
- Romans 8:22-24
REDEMPTION BIBLE CHURCH
The message of redemption is declared on the perfect pages of Scriptures which contain the answer to life’s greatest problem and reveal its greatest joy in Jesus. We are a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching, Christ-exalting church. So much so, it’s our middle name.
”For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
- Hebrews 4:12
REDEMPTION BIBLE CHURCH
The church is not a building, it’s a people. The original Greek word for church is Εκκλησία (ekklesia), meaning “to call out of”. The church is the gathering of the family of God who has been “called out” from sin to new life through redemption in Jesus. The word “church” is the moniker that declares though we live in a fallen world we are not defeated; we are free!
Jesus said, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” - Matthew 16:18
