Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 12, 2023.
In the final week of this series, we've chosen a few of the texts we've received throughout these seven weeks to discuss and answer from a biblical perspective.
Embodied | Q & A | November 12
Embodied | Incarnation | November 5
Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 5, 2023.
Last week, we unpacked 1 Corinthians 15 and how the reality of bodily resurrection gives us hope for tomorrow while empowering us today. This week, we look at the embodiment of God in the incarnation of Jesus and how it helps us answer the question: “How do we faithfully navigate our particular cultural moment?”
Embodied | Resurrection | October 29
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 29, 2023.
The bible teaches us that the brokenness that we experience in our bodies won't last forever. Though our bodies will die, in Christ, our hope will not. In 1 Corinthians 15, we flash forward to look at the end of the story for our bodies, connecting how knowing the end of the story for our bodies shapes how we live here and now.
Embodied | Epithumia | October 22
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 22, 2023.
For the last few weeks, we’ve camped in Genesis 1-2 and painted this beautiful picture of God’s design, His intent for humanity, and what reality should look like. And yet, these ideals are not the reality of our lived existence. Genesis 3 goes on to tell us why that is.
Embodied | Eros | October 15
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 15, 2023.
This week, we look at Genesis 2 and discuss the origin story of marriage. What’s marriage for? That word, or idea, has been around since the dawn of time. And based on your cultural context, you will get different answers about what that word means. So what’s marriage for? Who or what gets to define marriage? Is it me, my feelings, or is it based on biology or something else?
Embodied | Union | October 8

Embodied | Ish and Ishah | October 1
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 1, 2023.
Last week, we began our new series discussing what it means to be an embodied person. This week, we continue that discussion as we talk about gender. Where does gender come from? Why did God create male and female? What is the ideal relationship between men and women supposed to be? How should men and women treat and think about each other?
Embodied | Telos | September 24
Sermon by Ant Frederick on September 24, 2023.
Oversimplified narratives about our bodies surround us. Through conversations and airwaves, we are constantly told what we should pursue with our bodies, how we should think about them, and what dangers follow disagreement with the cultural ethos of desire, gender, sexuality, and marriage.
But these messages skip over some very essential questions–questions like: what is your body, exactly? What is your body for? Who created it, and with what purpose? What is the eternal destiny of our bodies, and how does that inform what we do on a normal week?
Join us for an eight-week series unpacking God’s plan for the human body–a majestic story from beginning to end.
