   Rat Race Wk. 4 | Break The Wheel

   What if Jesus isn’t offering you a better route through the #RatRace, but a completely different road? In the final week of our series Rat Race: I Want It All, Pastor Cory walks through Matthew 6:19–34, where Jesus takes the whole wheel apart piece by piece in about sixteen verses. We are the most well-directed people who have ever lived, and somehow we’re still lost. Every app will tell you how to get somewhere. Not one of them will ask you if you should be going there. Jesus names the three parts of the machine that keep us running, and then He shows us the exit. ✅ Treasure: What you chase ends up holding your heart. Jesus didn’t say your treasure follows your heart; He said your heart follows your treasure. Move your treasure, and your heart will follow. ✅ Masters: Something will be in the driver’s seat. Whoever wins the argument when God and your fear disagree is the one driving. You don’t have a resource problem; you have a master problem. ✅ Worry: Anxiety is the fuel that keeps the wheel spinning. Most of us don’t run because we’re greedy. We run because we’re scared. ✅ The Exit: “Seek first the Kingdom.” Jesus doesn’t tell you to stop running. He tells you to change what you’re running after. ✅ The Father Who Already Knows: A rat runs because it thinks no one is coming. A child rests because they know their Father already has it handled. Jesus doesn’t help you win the race. He breaks the wheel and walks you to a different path. #BreakTheWheel #SeekFirstTheKingdom 📖 Scripture: Matthew 6:19–34 | Romans 8:32 | Colossians 3:5 🏠 ABOUT REDEMPTION Redemption Church is a community in Kirkwood, MO, helping people meet, know, and live for Jesus.

   Rat Race Wk. 3 | The Rat Poison

   What if the thing you keep reaching for is the very thing that’s slowly hurting you? 🐀 Rat poison doesn’t work fast. It works slow, so the rat never connects the sickness to the bait it loves. And saltwater looks like exactly what a thirsty sailor needs, but every drink only makes the thirst worse. In week three of Rat Race: I Want It All, Pastor Cory Ball walks through Luke 12 and Jesus’ parable of the fool to expose what greed really does to us once it has a hold on us, and where to find the only water that actually satisfies. In this message: ✅ Why “more” never quenches the thirst; it creates it ✅ The three things greed does: it divides, it isolates, and it kills ✅ Why success is not the sin, but forgetting God in it is ✅ What the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea teach us about a life that flows vs. a life that hoards ✅ How Jesus offers living water that becomes a spring inside you “You can fill the barns and still lose your soul.” 🏠 ABOUT REDEMPTION Redemption Church is a community in Kirkwood, MO, helping people meet, know, and live for Jesus.

   Rat Race Wk. 2 | The Trap

   Nobody signs up for a rat race. So how did we end up in one? In week two of #RatRace, Pastor Cory opens 1 Timothy 6:6-10 and shows how the trap actually works: the bait, the snap, and the grip. No mouse has ever walked up to a mousetrap and seen a trap. It sees dinner. And most of what catches us never looked dangerous. It looked like something we'd earned. If you're tired, still stuck, and can't figure out why, this message is for you. Real #contentment isn't a personality type. It's something you can learn, and it starts with an open hand. Bottom line: Whatever you can't let go of already has a hold on you.
