Redemption City Church is built around the idea of practicing the way of Jesus, together, for the renewal of the city. We believe that to be an apprentice of Jesus is to order your life around three goals: be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. Our dream is that as we live this way, our lives, our communities, and our city, will be transformed.  Our prayer is as Jesus prayed, that God’s will would be done in Boston as it is in Heaven.

What is Liturgy?

We live in a time of history when it's never been easier to listen to the best content in the world, and yet to do almost all of it with a complete lack of accountability. We listen to sermons as entertainment. We have access to the best and latest teachings regarding Jesus and Scripture. But the point of all of this is for you and me to become like Jesus by obeying Him. The Sermon on the Mount is a call to more information but transformation from the inside out.

Matthew 5:1-12 - Living into The Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount is a beautiful vision of what life in God’s kingdom is suppose to look like. A vision of beauty and the flourishing life. According to Jesus, learning to love and pray for your enemies is one of the most sacred and flourishing things you can do to walk in the way of Jesus. This is holy. This is Christ being formed in you. Join us as Jesus speaks to us about loving and praying for our enemies.

Matthew 5:43-48 - Love Your Enemies

The Sermon on the Mount is a beautiful vision of what life in God’s kingdom is suppose to look like - a vision of beauty and the flourishing life. But what happens when we are wronged? What do we do when our first instinct is to get even and exact our justice to wrongdoers? Join us as Jesus speaks to us about revenge and loving our enemies. #boston #bostonchurch #inbostonasitisinheaven #church #wayofjesus

Matthew 5:38-42 - Retaliation

Christianity declares that a first-century Jewish man, crucified between two common thieves, was actually God and rose from the dead. Did Jesus actually raise from the dead? If it’s true it changes everything If it’s false why bother? Join us for Church Online for this short teaching series called Raised and consider with us why the resurrection matters, and why to believe it.

We don’t know how much longer this pandemic, and the accompanying social unrest, will last. We were all hoping that by the beginning of 2021 life would start to return to normal. That, clearly, has yet to happen. So, here’s the question: How do we not just survive the coming season – but rather come out the other side of it with a new inner strength and fortitude, and above all, spiritual formation in the the person of Jesus? Is there a way to travel this road of pain together with joy? Join us as we pause to reflect this past year and begin looking forward with joy.

1 Year Later: Living in a Pandemic with Joy in Times of Uncertainty

In Jesus’ time, making promises one could not keep was prevalent. Lack of integrity was seen as something acceptable and Jesus says lack of integrity has no place among God’s people. Jesus taught that if you say you are going to do something, do it and if you can’t say no. Live with integrity. Thats it. Simple, profound, but so challenging.

Matthew 5:33-37 - Integrity

Attitudes about marriage in culture have been shifting in a downward trend and is disappearing fast. There are many reasons for this. One reason among many why people choose not to get married is divorce. Many come from divorced backgrounds. Others have parents in a bad marriage and many don’t want that life. Whatever the reasons are for not getting are not always for godly reasons but broken ones. What does all this mean for followers of Jesus? How do we interact with the realities of marriage in a broken and fallen world? How can we commend commitment in an age of divorce?

Matthew 5:31-32 - Divorce and Remarriage

We live in a sex driven society. The church has responded to it in one of two ways: condemnation or accommodation. The problem with condemning or accommodating views regarding sex culture is that it assumes we are passive victims of desire, and in both views it places all blame for our struggle “out there” in the culture. Jesus’ words on from the sermon on the mount offers us a more nuanced view. All the warnings in the Bible about sex are designed around the idea that sex is good and the warnings are there to protect something that is powerful and fragile – it is not designed to suppress freedom.

Matthew 5:27-30 - Objectification

One of the things Jesus teaches is that calling someone a fool/idiot is closely related to anger, in that it represents a destructive attack on one’s character and identity. Jesus warns us that the person who violates another person made in God’s image in this grievous way is liable to the hell of fire. Followers of Jesus are commanded to treat others with dignity and respect rather than giving anger a place in our human interactions, especially with other Christians. All devaluing of people has no place in the kingdom of God.. How do we respond to Jesus' ethic of honor in the midst of a shame and outrage culture?
