December 06, 2023
Registration for the 2024 Culture Conference at Redeemer is open now! Click here to learn more and RSVP.
As you and I drive around San Antonio, we do not have to look far to see the familiar signs of a problem common in almost every city, state and country – poverty. It shows up on cardboard signs at intersections asking for food or money, broken-down public housing and underperforming schools in low-income neighborhoods. For all the things we love and celebrate about San Antonio, it is among the poorest major cities in the nation....

The Meaning of Marriage: A New Spiritual Formation Class for Adults.
August 21, 2023
Writing to a Greco-Roman world in which marriage relationships were seldom for love, and rarely monogamous, Paul penned these words to the church at Ephesus: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church” (Ephesians 5:31-32). In just a few sentences, Paul laid the groundwork for the Roman world to receive the joys of Christian marriage.
This fall, Redeemer is launching a new Spiritual ...

Happy Easter! Alongside a greater Paul, I deliver to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred…. (I Corinthians 15:3-6)
