Can I Trust Jesus When I Don't Understand Him? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A woman begs Jesus for help. He says nothing. Then he compares her to a dog. Was Jesus being unkind — or is something else going on? In this final message from the summer series "Faith for Ordinary Days," Pastor John Rallison sits with the story of the Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:21-28) alongside Paul's own wrestling with unanswered questions in Romans 11. When something in Scripture — or in life — doesn't make sense, we don't have to force an answer. We can trust who Jesus is, even when we can'
Jesus Extends the Hand That Saves — Matthew 14:22-33 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most sermons on Peter walking on water turn it into "get out of the boat and take risks for Jesus." But that's not what the text actually says. Most of the disciples stayed in the boat, and Jesus never rebuked them for it. In this message, Pastor John Rallison of Redeemer Lutheran Church walks through Matthew 14:22-33 and asks what this story really offers ordinary Christians who never hear an audible "Come." The center isn't Peter's water-walking, it's the order of events: Jesus catches Peter i

Read excerpt
We don't know what to pray for as we ought, and that's not a failure. It's the human condition the Spirit was sent to meet.

Scripture: Romans 8:18-27 (ESV). STAY CONNECTED: • Receive weekly sermon summaries by email: https://mailchi.mp/92230176913c/redeemer-email-signu

Rest for Your Soul (Romans 7 & Matthew 11) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Even the apostle Paul admits he did the very thing he hated. Was his faith failing, or is that just what it means to still be fighting sin after decades with Jesus? Pastor John Rallison looks at the freedom Christ has already won, and the rest he offers in the middle of the fight.
