Loving God
It is not uncommon to hear teaching about our love for God in terms of obedience alone. This series exposes the fallacy that abstracts affection from the love we offer to the Lord as well as addresses how we may cultivate warm regard for and inexpressible joy in God.

Sharing the Faith
It is common knowledge that most Christians are weak at sharing their faith. Typically, they feel fearful or incompetent, lacking boldness and knowledge. Still others, seemingly disciplined at sharing their faith, often come off brash, insensitive, or even arrogant. This series of lectures is aimed at equipping believers to be more effective at sharing the faith.

Systems of Theology
Reformed? Dispensational? Other? Though it is unlikely that you have had to check a box on a job application to indicate your system of theology, the way you read the Bible is informed by a theological framework you have obtained either through explicit teaching, or implicitly through your own eclectic lens. By carefully examining the available evangelical systems of theology, this study is aimed at helping Christians not only identify and criticize their own theological presuppositions, but also at contributing to the larger discussion of the whole Bible as Christian Scripture.

The Doctrines of Grace
What is the nature of God's grace in salvation? From the time of the Reformation forward, the answer to this question was simple: every single aspect of salvation, from election to glorification, is wholly by God's sovereign grace.
In the Netherlands of early 17th century, however, this unified voice for a biblical doctrine of salvation was challenged by the so-called Remonstrant Arminians with their five points of grievance with the orthodox teaching of the Heidelberg Catechism and the Belgic Confession. The response to their grievance is what has come to be known as the five points of Calvinism.
This five-part sermon series follows the traditional TULIP acrostic that outlines the church's response to Arminianism:
1.) Total Depravity
2.) Unconditional Election
3.) Limited Atonement
4.) Irresistable Grace
5.) Perseverance of the Saints

The Hardening of Pharaoh's Heart: A Case Study in the Sovereignty of God
If you have ever had questions like:
"If God is all-powerful and all-loving, how can there be evil in the world?"
"Is God in control of all things, or only the good things that happen to us?"
"Did God choose me or did I choose him?"
Or questions like these, then this five-part series is for you. Taken from Pastor R. W. Glenn's expository sermons from the book of Exodus, this collection of messages looks at God's dealings with Pharaoh as a window for examining the difficult subject of the absolute sovereignty of God.

The Ministry of Mercy
Beginning with the church and moving outward into the world, Christians have the responsibility of ministering to the physical needs of those who lack. That's what the ministry of mercy is all about. Taking our lead from the Scriptures and with plenty of practical counsel, the goal of this series is to motivate and mobilize the church both individually and institutionally to take this ministry seriously.

Toward a Biblical View of Missions
Typically, we think of missions as involving Christian ministry overseas. But missions is so much more than that; it is far more comprehensive in scope. In this eleven-part lecture series, the following definition of missions is unpacked: "Through Jesus Christ, and by the Holy Spirit, God, for his own glory, will unite people from every tribe, nation, kingdom, and language to worship him forever in the New World."

What Is a Biblical Christian?
This is the first series that Pastor R. W. Glenn preached when he arrived at Redeemer in the fall of 2002. His overarching concern was that his new congregation would not have a false sense of assurance. Nothing could be worse than facing the Day of Judgment only to be surprised by the Lord's verdict. This four-part series calls believers to test themselves to see whether they are in the faith so that they may face the Judgment with confidence.
