Redeemer Coast Church Podcast

Why are we here? What were we actually created for? In this episode, we go back to the beginning and explore the profound truth that humanity was created in the image and likeness of God—not by accident, but for relationship, fellowship and a life that reflects His nature on the earth. Sin distorted the way we saw ourselves and God, but Jesus came to restore what was lost and reveal who we were always created to be. As we lea...

Who are you when you strip away your achievements, failures, background, reputation and the opinions of others? In this episode, we explore the life-changing truth of what it means to be “in Christ.” Jesus didn’t come simply to make us a better version of who we were; He came to give us a completely new identity. We no longer have to live defined by our past, our performance, comparison or self-effort. In Christ, ...

Who are you? It’s a question every person wrestles with, and we can spend years looking for our identity in achievements, relationships, careers, experiences or even our failures. But none of these things were ever meant to define us. In this episode, we explore Paul’s words in Philippians 3 and the freedom that comes from being “found in Him.” Our identity is not something we have to earn through performanc...

What if you stopped trying to become sufficient and simply believed that, in Christ, you already are? In this episode, we explore the powerful truth of 2 Corinthians 3:5–6—that our sufficiency doesn’t come from ourselves, our performance or our ability, but from God, who has made us sufficient through Jesus. God’s grace isn’t something we receive once at salvation and then leave behind; it is the grace...

What if you’ve underestimated the role God has given you? In this episode, we explore what it means to recognise that every believer has a place and a purpose within the Church. Jesus is building His Church, and He has uniquely gifted and positioned each of us to take part in what He is doing. In a world that measures success by size, influence and recognition, Scripture points us to something different: faithfulness with wha...

In this episode, we unpack the remarkable story of Gideon and discover that great faith isn't built on confidence in ourselves or even in faith itself—it is built on knowing the character of God. Although Gideon saw himself as weak, insignificant, and unqualified, God saw him as a mighty warrior. As Gideon encountered God's heart and presence, his fear gave way to faith. Join us as we unpack how a deeper revelation of God's l...

Judges 6:12 “And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valour!””

God is the One who calls those things that be not as though they were. (Romans 4:17)

At the time the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, in the natural, Gideon did not look like a mighty man of valour.

Here was this man, hiding from the Midianites, living under their oppression, and G...

Acts 3:16: “And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.”

As disciples of Jesus, we are called and equipped to do the works He did when He walked on the earth. We have been given the name of Jesus to carry out His will on the earth. Wh...

‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭39‬-‭40‬ “Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”

This is a very confronting question that Jesus asked.

“Why are you so fearful?”

He was asking them why they were acting cowardly. This question reveals that they cou...

James 1:2-4 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

No matter what we will ever face in life, we can choose to count it as joy! Faith looks at trials and tribulations and chooses joy because, as believers, we already know the outcome: victory!

Romans 4:4-5 “Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favour, but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,”

Faith is the currency in which we receive righteousness.

Believing what God has done in Jesus for us is how we receive salvation.

This is why faith is essential....

2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

This beautiful verse is right in the middle of the Holy Spirit saying through Paul that we’re in this world, we’re experiencing the decay of this world, and yet, because of the Holy Spirit and the life of God inside us, we can live powerful and effective lives that are pleasing to God!

We live these victorious lives by faith!...

Hebrews 11:1-2 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.”

Faith is not just for salvation; faith is for all the troubles we will ever face in life.

We can look at the heroes of faith and see how they used their faith to overcome and implement God's will and purpose on...

Matthew 17:20, “He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

It’s so encouraging to understand that where we are now in our faith, is not where we will be. What matters is what w...

Mark 4:18-19 “And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.”

Faith is precious to God. Someone who will simply take Him at His Word.

How can we, as His creation, offer Him something that pleases Him when He cr...

Mark‬ ‭11‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭YLT98‬‬ ‭ “And Jesus answering saith to them, ‘Have faith of God; for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.”

Jesus uses the opportunity of cursing the fig tree as an opportunity to teach H...

James 5:15-18 “And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; a...

1 Timothy 1:5, “ Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and fromsincere faith.”

The Bible speaks of many different kinds of faith: Strong faith, weak faith, sincere faith, shipwrecked faith, little faith, etc.

The Apostle Paul, in writing to Timothy, reminds him of the purpose of his commandment: love from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith.

Sincere can als...

Hebrews 11:11 (Moffatt) “It was by faith that even Sara got strength to conceive, bearing a son when she was past the age for it — because she considered she could rely on Him who gave the promise.”

Growing strong in faith is a process. We can see it in the life of Abraham and Sarah. Their journey started with God calling Abram to leave his father and mother and go to a land that God would show him. Over the years...
