Time and Toil: Freedom in the Fog | Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 | Sam Jones
Feeling stuck in a season you cannot escape—whether in work, marriage, parenting, or the constant rat race? This message from Ecclesiastes 3:1–15 explores how time and toil expose our limits and our longing for eternity, not to crush us but to free us. Instead of using our schedules, careers, and relationships as tools to secure happiness or control outcomes, we learn to receive them as gifts from an eternal God who is writing a far bigger story than we can see, and to rest in Jesus who entered our hevel—our fog and vapor—to redeem our restless striving and teach us to find joy in ordinary, everyday life.

This Can’t Be All There Is | Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 | Derek Harm
In this opening message of the Ecclesiastes series at Redemption Life Fellowship, we explore Ecclesiastes 1:1–11 under the title “This Can’t Be All There Is,” tracing how life “under the sun” exposes the emptiness of work, progress, pleasure, and even human legacy when they are disconnected from God. The sermon shows that apart from the Lord, our days can feel like motion without meaning—busy, repetitive, and unsatisfying—yet this very frustration is meant to press us beyond temporary pursuits to the One who can truly make sense of it all. Ecclesiastes raises the ache; John 1 answers it by revealing Jesus as the Logos, the meaning behind everything, who stepped into our broken world, bore our folly at the cross, and broke the cycle through His resurrection. Listeners are invited to stop chasing ultimate fulfillment in things “under the sun” and instead anchor their lives in the Son, discovering that in Christ, life’s ordinary moments gain eternal weight and everything finally makes sense.

He Went Before You | Mark 14:12-16 | Derek Harm
In this Easter message from Redemption Life Fellowship, we trace Mark 14:12–16:8 under the title “He Went Before You,” following Jesus from the Passover table to Gethsemane, through His unjust trial and crucifixion, and finally to the empty tomb. The sermon highlights how Jesus declares Himself the true Passover Lamb, embraces the cup of God’s wrath in our place, endures twisted justice and abandonment at the cross, and then rises in victory as the temple curtain is torn and access to God is opened. At the heart of the resurrection account is the announcement that the risen Christ is “going before” His fearful, failing disciples into Galilee, showing that because He has gone all the way into death and out the other side, He now goes before us into life and calls us to repent, believe, and follow Him rather than stay where we are.

Sideways Religion, Mocked Devotion and a Shaking World | Mark 12:13-14:1 | Sam Jones
Following Jesus means trusting Him when the earthly kingdom drives religion sideways, mocks devotion, and threatens our well-being, believing He will uphold and sustain me in a hostile world.

Seeing In Stages | Mark 8:22-9:1 | Derek Harm
In this message from Redemption Life Fellowship, we continue our expositional journey through Mark by walking through Mark 8:22–9:1 under the title “Seeing in Stages: When Jesus Touches Our Eyes Again.” Beginning with the only two-stage healing in the Gospels and moving through Peter’s confession at Caesarea Philippi and Jesus’ call to take up the cross, this passage shows how Jesus patiently leads His followers from partial spiritual sight to a clearer vision of His cross-shaped mission. The sermon explores how we often recognize who Jesus is before we fully understand what it means to follow Him, and invites listeners to let Jesus correct their expectations, surrender self-rule, and embrace the costly but life-giving path of discipleship.

A Heart That Sees Truth | Mark 7:1-8:21 | Derek Harm
In this sermon from Redemption Life Fellowship, we continue our series in the Gospel of Mark by walking through Mark 7:1–8:21 under the title “A Heart That Sees Truth.” Through Jesus’ confrontations with religious leaders, His gracious response to a desperate Gentile mother, His healing of a deaf man, and His feeding of four thousand, we see that our clarity about truth is deeply connected to the condition of our hearts. The message contrasts closed hearts that hide behind religious performance, curious hearts of “outsiders” who humbly receive grace, and confused hearts of disciples whom Jesus patiently questions and restores. Ultimately, listeners are invited to let Jesus expose, soften, and question their hearts so they can see Him more clearly as the promised Shepherd, light to the nations, and risen Truth who opens, satisfies, and clarifies the hearts of those who follow Him.

Clarity Through Difficulty | Mark 6:1-56 | Derek Harm Video
In this sermon from Redemption Life Fellowship, we continue our expositional journey through the Gospel of Mark, exploring Mark 6 under the theme “Clarity Through Difficulty.” Walking through Jesus’ rejection in Nazareth, the sending of the Twelve, the martyrdom of John the Baptist, the feeding of the five thousand, and the storm on the Sea of Galilee, we see how Jesus reveals Himself through rejection, mission, persecution, provision, and His powerful presence. This message shows that following Jesus does not remove hardship but reinterprets it, as the same faith that brings the peace of His presence also leads us into costly obedience in a world that resists His kingdom. Listeners are invited to trust and obey Jesus even when faith leads them into difficulty rather than away from it, finding secure, peace-filled confidence in the One who not only sends us into the storm but also comes to us in the middle of it.

Following Jesus Real Peace When The Story Feels Over | Mark 4:35-5:43 | Sam Jones
Following Jesus doesn’t always lead us around the hard things in life—sometimes it leads us straight into them. In Mark 4:35–5:43, we watch Jesus lead His disciples into a violent storm, a demon‑possessed stronghold, a desperate father’s crisis, a suffering woman’s shame, and even a little girl’s death. In every scene, just when it feels like the story is over, Jesus steps in with real, lasting peace.- Jesus sometimes leads us into storms, not away from them, - No one is beyond the reach of His peace—not the tormented, not the religious, not the ashamed, not the grieving- His peace doesn’t just calm our hearts; it reorients our whole lives toward His mission- Fear and desperation don’t disqualify us—but they do force the question: When I’m afraid, do I run to Jesus or from Him?- The resurrection anchors our hope so that nothing is ever “final” until Jesus says soIf you’re walking through a season that feels stuck, dark, or finished—a strained marriage, health news you didn’t want, a child wandering from the faith, mental and emotional exhaustion—this passage shows a Savior who moves toward you right where it feels like the story is over.

The Calm Conquering Kingdom | Mark 3:12-4:34 | Derek Harm
The series theme is "Following Jesus, the Servant-King on the Move," with the big idea that following Him means trusting who He is and obeying what He says right where we are. Before any "Follow Me," Mark urges us to answer: Who is He? Today's title highlights Jesus' kingdom as calm, steady, and growing—not loud, dramatic, or forced like worldly power, but quietly conquering (as even demons recognize). At a turning point marked by swelling crowds, rising opposition, and intensifying expectations, Jesus shapes people rather than launching a revolution: drawing, calling, planting, growing, and reshaping expectations. The kingdom of God is deliberate, certain, and unstoppable. The main thought: King Jesus calmly builds His kingdom by drawing people to Himself, forming them into a family, transforming hearts through His Word, and growing them by His Spirit until it becomes a place of life and shelter for others. Personal proposition: Because He patiently grows it, draw near to Him, receive His Word openly, and trust the Holy Spirit for growth we can't force.

Divine Disruption | Mark 2:13-3:6 | Derek Harm
Jesus shows up and flips expectations—calling the unlikely, bringing real joy, giving true rest, and healing on His terms. Mark 2-3 reminds us: following Him means trusting Him right where we are, even when it shakes what feels safe. #FollowingJesus #DivineDisruption #RLFGreenville #RedemptionLifeFellowship #GospelLife #ServantKing

More Than Just Amazed by Jesus' Authority | Mark 1:21-2:12 | Derek Harm
Are you merely amazed by Jesus... or ready to truly follow Him? In this message from our new series "Following Jesus – The Servant-King on the Move!", we dive into Mark 1:21–2:12 and discover how Jesus reveals His divine authority in everyday life—confronting evil in the synagogue, healing in ordinary homes, depending on the Father in solitude, touching the untouchable, and boldly forgiving sins. The big question Mark presses on us: Will we stop at amazement, or will we trust who He is and obey what He says—right where we are? Jesus isn't a Jesus we manufacture—He's the real Servant-King who moves toward our mess, bears the cost, and invites us into forgiveness and freedom.

Following Jesus–Even Without The Details | Mark 1:14-20 | Sam Jones
Discover how Jesus calls ordinary fishermen to immediate obedience with a simple yet profound invitation: "Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men." Mark's fast-paced Gospel, written for persecuted believers, strips away extra details to spotlight one urgent truth—Jesus is Lord and worthy of our trust and allegiance right now, even when we don't see the full picture of His story.Through relatable analogies like factory assembly lines and varying sunrise views, Pastor Sam reminds us that following Jesus isn't about having every answer or miracle in view. It's about trusting who He is—the Suffering Servant King—and obeying His call in everyday life, no matter the cost or uncertainty.Whether facing personal struggles, unclear seasons, or the pressures of daily routines, this message challenges us to repent, believe the Gospel, and join Jesus on mission where we are—fishing for people through grace-filled living.Key takeaway: "Following Jesus means trusting who He is and obeying what He says, despite not having or understanding all the details of the story He is writing right now."New episodes release weekly following our Sunday gatherings at 10:30 AM in Greenville, SC.

When God Breaks In | Mark 1:1-13 | Derek Harm
In the opening sermon of the series Following Jesus: The Servant-King on the Move, we launch into Mark’s fast-moving Gospel, showing how God breaks into history suddenly and decisively through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Rather than waiting for ideal conditions, God interrupts routines with John’s call to repentance, Jesus’ humble identification in baptism, the Father’s affirming voice, and the Spirit’s leading into wilderness testing—revealing Jesus as the trustworthy Lord worthy of our full allegiance. The message challenges listeners to trust who Jesus is before obeying what He says, right where they are, resting in His love and victory rather than striving to earn it.

Jesus is Near, Accessible, and Available | Luke 2;8-21 | Sam Jones
This sermon explores the profound sense of distance many experience during the Christmas season—whether physical separation from cherished places, emotional or relational gaps with loved ones, or the deepest longing felt when God seems far away. Drawing on Luke 2:8-21, it highlights how the birth of Jesus dramatically breaks a 400-year silence from God, as angels announce the Savior's arrival to ordinary shepherds on a routine night. Through their encounter with heavenly glory, urgent journey to Bethlehem, and joyful proclamation afterward, the message emphasizes that when God feels distant, Jesus is near, available, and accessible, offering real peace, hope, and rest today. It addresses common reasons for perceived distance—life's chaos, personal failure, crushing circumstances, chasing spiritual highs, or grief over loss—and invites listeners to run to the accessible Savior found in simple, everyday faith rather than striving for extraordinary signs.

Fear Not | Luke 2:1-16 | David Whitaker
In this Advent message from Luke 2:1-16, RLF Elder Dave Whitaker reminds us that the angels’ announcement wasn’t just cute Christmas-pageant material—it was terrifying glory breaking into a fearful world. The heart of the good news is simple and life-changing: God did not send a coach, a second chance, or more rules; He sent a Savior, Christ the Lord. This gospel is not for people who do enough—it is for all people who trust what Jesus has already done. When we stop leveraging our performance and start giving God the weight and glory He deserves, fear is replaced with the deep peace the angels promised—a powerful call to preach this Christmas gospel to ourselves every single day.

Philippians Recap/Outro | Derek Harm
From a Roman prison, Paul penned the most joy-saturated letter in the New Testament, proving that true joy is not rooted in circumstances but in the all-sufficiency of Christ. Reviewing the book chapter-by-chapter, the pastor highlighted how Paul’s chains advanced the gospel, how Jesus’ humility in Philippians 2 becomes the pattern for every believer, how every earthly achievement is rubbish compared to knowing Christ, and how anxiety gives way to peace and contentment when we rely on Christ’s strength. Distilling the letter into four lifelong anchors—Christ is our Life, our Pattern, our Treasure, and our Strength—the sermon called the church to move beyond a catchy tagline and make “Christ is my everything” the daily rhythm of individual lives and the defining identity of the congregation, so that a watching world would see authentic, joy-filled, gospel-shaped people who enjoy God, love others, and live as open invitations to the redeemed life Jesus offers.

Secret of a Satisfied Soul | Philippians 4:11-23 | Derek Harm
How can a man in prison overflow with joy and declare, “I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need”? In the closing words of Philippians, Paul reveals the life-changing truth that true contentment, generous living, and unshakable confidence are never found in changing circumstances—but in an all-sufficient Savior.In this message, we unpack three gospel realities that reshape how we walk through life’s highs and lows:The secret of contentment that doesn’t rise and fall with our situationThe beauty and power of sacrificial partnership in the gospelThe rock-solid promise that God will supply every need according to His riches in glory in Christ JesusWhether you’re in a season of abundance or aching with unmet desires, this episode will point you to the One who is always enough. Perfect for anyone wrestling with discontentment, financial pressure, disappointment, or the daily search for lasting joy.Listen in, bring your Bible to Philippians 4, and discover the secret of the satisfied soul.

Grounded in Christ and Anchored in Joy | Philippians 4:1-9 | Sam Jones
In Philippians 4:1-9, Paul (from prison) shows us how to get off the anxiety roller-coaster and live grounded in Christ. Instead of dragging everyone around us through our worry, conflict, and need for control, we can rejoice always, pray about everything, and think on what is true — because Jesus is near, He is good, and He is enough.

Eyes on the Prize | Philippians 3:17 21 | Derek Harm
www.rlf.churchIn Philippians 3:17-21, Paul urges believers to run the Christian race together by imitating faithful examples, rejecting those whose lives oppose the cross, and fixing their hope on heavenly citizenship. With tearful warning, he contrasts self-centered impostors—driven by appetite, shame, and earthly focus—against the church’s true identity as a colony of heaven awaiting Christ’s return. The same power that holds the universe will one day transform our frail bodies into glorious ones like His, making every step of endurance a preview of home. The sermon calls us to keep our eyes on Jesus, live as citizens of another kingdom, and let grace fuel joyful perseverance until faith becomes sight.

Looking Forward Gives Joy Now | Philippians 3:12-16, | Sam Jones
Visit us online at rlf.churchIn Philippians 3:12-16, Paul admits he hasn’t arrived at perfection but presses on with one focus: forgetting the past and straining toward the prize of knowing Christ fully. The world’s “shiny things”—comfort, achievements, approval—promise joy but deliver brokenness. Maturity isn’t flawlessness; it’s daily dependence on the Holy Spirit to reveal distorted thinking about past identities, failures, or present temptations, and to reframe reality through the lens of resurrection hope. When the Spirit corrects our vision, future glory in Jesus overshadows temporary struggles, fueling joy now as we live and sacrifice like Christ.

The Way Down Is The Way Up | Philippians 2:5-11 | Derek Harm
In this passage from Philippians 2:5-11, often referred to as the "hymn of Christ," Paul inverts worldly notions of success. Our culture obsesses over climbing higher, but Jesus shows that true glory comes through humility. Because Jesus humbled Himself to death on the cross, God exalted Him above all. We are called to adopt Christ's mindset of humility, follow His example of descent, and rejoice in His exaltation. This leads to joy in any circumstance when Christ is our everything. The big idea of Philippians: "I can rejoice through anything when Christ is my everything." Applied to daily life, this means seeing challenges as opportunities to serve, prioritizing others, and finding hope in the gospel story where the way down is the way up.

Worthy of the Gospel Speaker, Philippians 1:27-30, (Derek Harm) |
On September 14, 2025, at Redemption Life Fellowship, Derek Harn delivered a sermon titled "Worthy of the Gospel" from Philippians 1:27-30, as part of the series "In Everything…Rejoice!". Drawing from Paul’s letter written in a Roman prison, Harm emphasized that living worthy of the gospel means reflecting its value through unity, courage, and hope, rather than earning it. He highlighted how the gospel empowers believers to stand together, face opposition boldly, and endure suffering as a gracious gift, redefining life’s challenges in a world marked by division, fear, and despair. Centered on Christ’s redemptive work, the message invites all to rejoice through anything when Jesus is their everything, offering a transformed perspective as of 10:12 AM EDT on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

A Call to Action | Intro to Jonah | Swallowed Up By Mercy | Derek Harm
This sermon kicks off our summer series exploring the Book of Jonah, titled "Swallowed up by Mercy." This powerful message delves into God's relentless pursuit of rebels with His limitless mercy, as seen through Jonah’s story, and challenges us to respond to God’s call in our own lives.Key Points from Jonah 1:1-2God Speaks: The sermon highlights that God initiates communication with humanity, as seen in Jonah 1:1-2, where He calls Jonah to "Arise, go to Nineveh, and call out against it." This divine summons is a reminder that God’s Word is active and calls us to action.Three Imperatives: God gives Jonah three commands:Arise: Awaken from spiritual dormancy and step out of comfort into obedience.Go: Move toward sinners, even enemies, with God’s message of mercy.Call Out: Boldly proclaim God’s truth, offering a chance for repentance.Big Idea: Jonah's central theme is that God faithfully pursues rebels with His limitless mercy, a truth that resonates throughout the book and in our lives today.Gospel Connection: Jonah’s reluctance foreshadows Jesus, the "better Jonah," who obeyed God’s call, ran toward sinners, and absorbed judgment on the cross to offer mercy to all.ApplicationThe sermon challenges us to reflect: Am I motivated to move toward sinners with God’s message? God’s mercy, shown to us through Jesus, compels us to awaken from apathy, advance toward others (even those we struggle to love), and share the gospel boldly. This study of Jonah promises to be convicting yet encouraging, revealing the transformative power of God’s mercy.
