Red Tree Church

Preaching from Esther 4:1-17, Pastor Jesse discusses Esther's identity in the choices she makes, teaches on God's sovereignty, the Gospel in Esther's role as mediator and our calling to be ministers of reconciliation.

Christ will return. The assurance of this promise is the fuel of the missionary task.

Red Tree is a local church. We should be defined by our times of spirit led prayer - together. We should be taking deep spirit empowered care of each other.

Red Tree is a local church. We are, in part, defined by our gathering together to worship God and meet with him. We must gather together. This is part of why this year has been so hard. Praise be to God that we live in a time when technology allows us to get creative in how we gather. And by the way, this isn’t a verse guilting you into going to church on Sundays. Gathering does not require that I schedule a worship service. We gather in all sorts of ways. But just like Antioch, if we are spending our gatherings discipling one another and hearing from God, we will leave our gathering to scatter with the good news for others.

God made his church amazing. We can do amazing things for the kingdom because of how God made his church. We are a part of this amazing thing God is doing.

Taking a break in our series on Esther, Pastor Mike preaches on grace and how the grace God give us is so much more than what we think of when we extend grace to someone else.

Pastor Sam teaches through v3:1-15. The World is not just indifferent to God’s people, it is actively hostile toward us. Terrible things happen to God’s people. We must still trust in his sovereignty even when things look terrible.

Continuing our series on Esther Pastor Sam teaches that we should follow Mordecai's example and live righteously even when it seems to not really benefit you - even when no one is watching

Pastor Sam continues our look at the story of Esther, showing us that when everything is out of your control, He is in control. We can pursue mission in the confidence that we don’t have to control circumstances or outcomes. We can simply be faithful and wait to see what God does!

In this introductory story Pastor Sam shows us the reality of the world without the gospel. People left unto themselves with sinful action and sinful motivation. Its so easy to see scenes like this and think “where is God in all this?” Esther tells us he is at the heart of it working his larger will.

Pastor Sam teaches on raising up and sending out disciples on Senior Sunday as we honor our graduates.

Pastor Sam teaches that we can bring our concerns, our hurts, our hearts to God in prayer. We ask him to protect us, but ultimately, God’s best protection is square in the middle of his will, even when that means suffering and hardship on our part.

Pastor Sam teaches that forgiveness and repentance are vital parts of our prayer life. We are impossibly indebted to our good Father so we bring our confessions to him with honest expectancy and receive his forgiveness. This forgiveness must then overflow out of us to the world around us and the wrongs we receive.

Pastor Craig teaches that prayer is the foundation of the life of discipleship. As God provides for us our needs, we learn to come to him with expectation and honesty for ourselves and for the world around us. This connects us to the heart of God to seek and save the lost.

Pastor Sam shows us how the upside down inverted expectations of Jesus’ kingdom and help them consider how Jesus might invert our expectations of the present times.

Pastor Sam takes us through Matthew 21 and the triumphant entry for Palm Sunday.
