Key scripture: James 3:1-18
This week in James 3, we’ll dive into practically one of the most challenging areas to live in as a follower of Jesus. The Scriptures will call at times a source of healing and blessing and at other times a “raging fire” and a “restless evil” — our words.

Key scripture: 1 John 4:7-12
Last week, we explored the most important thing about us: our vertical relationship with God. This week, we look into how that impacts our horizontal relationships with others and what challenges we often face, as followers of Jesus, from experiencing meaningful community.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 5, 2025.
“Known and loved.” That’s a powerful phrase.
At some level, all of us are looking for places in life where we feel known and loved. Some of us have that, and some of us don’t. Others of us are looking for that in family, romance, friendships, or any number of things - and have felt hurt or betrayed in the process.
And yet, the beauty of Scripture says this is what Jesus offers us when we follow Him.
For this series, we’ll spend three weeks looking at how Scripture calls us to be known and loved by God, known and loved by each other, and making Jesus’ love known to our neighbors.

As we end our Advent series and Year of Biblical Literacy, we look at the final chapters of Revelation and the ultimate hope that’s given for those in Christ.
The Bible is one of the most influential books ever written. It’s the most studied, most scrutinized, most debated, and, for many, the most life-changing book the world has ever known.
But…it’s complex.
So we’re taking an entire year to grow our ability to read and understand the message of the whole Bible.

The race of remaining faithful to God as we lay aside weights and sin is a tiring one, and it can be easy for us to grow weary. Thankfully, the author of Hebrews gives us encouragements about the Discipline of The Lord that remind us of the beauty and the glory of God's process of developing us.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 10, 2024.
One of the most detrimental things a runner can do is cling to something that is slowing and weighing them down. In chapter 12, we are encouraged to lay aside every weight that would hinder us as we "run the race" that Jesus has set before us. This week we are encouraged to run well with endurance.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 3, 2024.
How would you define "faith"? That word is so foundational to following Jesus and so familiar to us, that we sometimes lose its power and meaning. This week, we look at Hebrews 11 to clarify what that means and how it enables us to endure whatever we face.

This week, we look at one of the most foundational concepts in the Old Testament: the temple, the priests, and the sacrifice. Even though, we don't use the sacrificial system in the same way as the people of God did in the Old Testament, learning about this system helps us to know, appreciate, and cherish our Savior.
