Dear Friends,
I hope that you will be able to join us on Friday, April 24th for the next in our Redeemer Institute Spring series entitled, “Leading Little Ones to God.” We have geared this seminar especially toward parents who are considering how to best shepherd their children to know and Love God. So, questions about childhood conversion, baptism, communion, etc. will be addressed. We hope to do so in a manner that provides clarity and a biblical way forward so that our families might honor God and display His glory in our churches and communities.
Baptist churches between 1977 and 1997 increased the baptism of children six and under by 250 percent. With so many churches preaching an easy believism, are the massive numbers of young children being baptized placing their faith in the true Christ, or in belief itself? These and other questions will be addressed as we explore the duties that parents and church leaders have in evangelizing children, and unbiblical practices that may look good on the surface, but in the end lead many to believe they are saved when they are not, as well as welcome the unregenerate into the church, and denigrate the Gospel itself.
We hope to see you there,
Travis Cardwell
Pastor of Preaching
Baptist Church of the Redeemer

Will She Say Yes?
The past Saturday at the Redeemer Institute, we sought to present a biblical perspective on relationships.
You can now listen to my talk entitled “Doing All to the Glory of God—Exalting and Enjoying Christ in Our Relationships” online.
I’d love to hear any feedback that you have for me. We also had an insightful panel discussion, but the sound recording left something to be desired. If and when it becomes available, I will post it here.

Saturday, Feb. 21 How Do I Find a Mate? (9:30 am—12:30 pm)
Is there a biblical way to find a mate? What do the scriptures say and not say? In this short presentation and panel discussion, we will discuss the topic of how parents, children, young adults, and older adults can approach the topic of how they go about finding fulfillment in this life here on earth. The panel will consist of parents and children at various stages of the marriage process, including one couple currently engaged. This session is designed for church leaders, parents, teachers, singles, youth, and adolescents.

Friday, April 11 Passover Seder Meal (6:00-9:00 pm)
A Seder is a celebration of the exodus of the Children of Israel from their bondage in Egypt. A Passover like what Jesus ate on the night He was betrayed.

The cost will be $5 per adult and $2 per child under 12, with a $15 family maximum.
Friday, April 24 Leading Your Little One’s to God (7:00-9:30 pm)
Baptist churches between 1977 and 1997 increased the baptism of children six and under by 250 percent. With so many churches preaching an easy believism, are the massive numbers of young children being baptized placing their faith in the true Christ, or in belief itself? These and other questions will be addressed as we explore the duties that parents and church leaders have in evangelizing children, and unbiblical practices that may look good on the surface, but in the end lead many to believe they are saved when they are not, as well as welcome the unregenerate into the church, and denigrate the Gospel itself.
Friday, May 22 Manhood and Womanhood: Equipping for Success (7:00-9:30 pm)What can parents do to train their children to be successful in marriage, family, and leaving a godly legacy? This session will focus on biblical passages regarding the responsibilities children have not only to their parents, but to society and culture. The Bible is not silent regarding foolishness in children, nor regarding the attributes of godliness. In an image dominated culture, how do parents navigate the many pitfalls of family life in the twenty-first century? How much freedom do you give your adolescent or teen? What limitations must you have? Join us as we delve into these issues and see what the Bible says… and doesn’t say.
