We want our website to be more than just information. We are not interested in a website full of static 'stuff!' We want to create a place packed with dynamic and interesting content - a site you might want to revisit regularly.
We want our website to be an extension of our vision and values - a place of community, conversation, creativity and interaction. The Collective is the place for that. It's here that you will find contributions from many different people, including those who are part of the Redeemer Community and, from time to time, some special guests. You will find things that made us think, laugh, cry, hope, and be challenged. It's a section that will keep on growing - so just keep on scrolling and watch more articles load.
We would love you to interact with us through the site - so make sure to leave your comments!

The parable of the other son
"An eye to which nothing is shown but black objects judges something dirty white or even darkly mottled to be whiteness itself." For the Pharisees and Scribes, grace hurt. The dark objects of legalism and religion had become resident in their hearts and minds. With no frame of reference for an unconditional love, the message of Jesus was difficult to take. Their frustration translated into accusations and questions that would eventually lead them to plot and kill the very God they professed to worship. In our culture where everything from money to affection is earned, unconditional grace needs to be guarded. Unless we are deeply affected to the core by the saving grace of God, how will anyone ever be able to write words akin to "my chains fell off, my heart was free I rose went forth and followed thee"?
