AFTER HOURS | First Love : Love Unveiled

After Hours is a series from Redeemer Presbyterian Church that serves as a space to continue discussion or thoughts from that weeks sermon. You'll hear from our pastors as they dive deeper into the text and reflect on the passage in a deeper and more focused way. This episode reviews the sermon "Love Unveiled" on June 14, 2026 from our sermon series "First Love".

EBENEZER | Jonathan Murfee

In this podcast, we are sharing Ebenezer moments of the people of Redeemer Church. An Ebenezer moment is simply telling the truth about where you’ve been and noticing where God has met you along the way. Some of that may feel clear; some of it may still feel unfinished. These stories are invitations to listen together to remember thus far how the Lord has helped, and to notice how God has been faithful-sometimes quietly, sometimes slowly, often in ways we only see in hindsight. Join us and listen along.

FIRST LOVE | Love Unveiled

Revelation begins by pulling back the curtain. Before Jesus addresses the churches, John is given a vision of Jesus himself. The book is not first a puzzle to solve or a timeline to decode; it is an unveiling of Christ. It shows us that reality is deeper than what we can see with our eyes. Beneath suffering, fear, evil, compromise, and confusion, Jesus is present and reigning. This first sermon sets the lens for the whole series: the church can only hear Jesus rightly when it sees him clearly.

THIN PLACES | Pray at All Times

Paul ends his teaching on the armor of God by calling the church to pray at all times in the Spirit. Prayer is not one more piece of armor laid beside the others; it is the living dependence that activates and sustains the whole life of spiritual warfare. In a battle too great for us, prayer is how we call for help, stay alert, persevere, and carry one another before God. Paul urges believers to pray in every season, with every kind of prayer, with perseverance, and for all the saints. The Christian life is not lived in self-sufficiency but in constant reliance on the presence, power, and mercy of God. The armor is worn through prayer.

THIN PLACES | The Sword of the Spirit

Paul describes the Word of God as the sword of the Spirit because Scripture is the believer’s weapon in the spiritual battle. The enemy fights with lies, accusations, and temptations, but the Word of God exposes deception and anchors us in truth. Jesus himself modeled how to wield this sword when he resisted Satan in the wilderness by quoting Scripture. To take up the sword of the Spirit is to fill our minds with God’s Word, to answer temptation with truth, and to allow the Spirit to apply Scripture to our lives. In a world searching for meaning and truth, the Word of God remains living, active, and powerful. The sword that defeats the enemy is the Word of God.  It is our only offensive weapon.
