John | More than a Victim | May 10

,

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Ant Frederick on May 10, 2026.

Key scripture: John 18:1-14

In John 18:1–14, John goes out of his way to show us that Jesus was not a passive victim swept away by forces beyond his control — he was a sovereign Savior who advanced toward his own arrest with full knowledge, full authority, and full intention. Because the cross was something Jesus moved toward on purpose, we can trust his sovereignty in our own darkness, rest in the personal nature of his sacrifice, and worship rather than pity him.

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Ant Frederick on April 19, 2026.

Key scripture: John 17:6-19

 In John 17:6–19, Jesus prays for His followers to navigate a confusing world by being kept, sanctified, and sent. Rather than removing them from the world, He asks the Father to guard them, shape them through His truth, and send them on mission with purpose and confidence. This sermon reminds believers that their identity is secure in Christ—and from that security, they are empowered to live distinctly and missionally where they are.

John | Your Sorrow Will Turn to Joy | April 5

,

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Ant Frederick on April 5, 2026.

Key scripture: John 16:16-22

In John 16 Jesus teaches that the crushing grief of the crucifixion will be supernaturally transformed into the "unsinkable joy" of the resurrection. Using the metaphor of childbirth, Jesus illustrates how the coming renewal of all things in Christ provides a hope so certain and permanent that it can reframe even the most life-altering pains and disappointments.

John | A Life Lit Up By The Spirit | March 29

,

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Ant Frederick on March 29, 2026.

Key scripture: John 16:5-15

Jesus promised His disciples that the Holy Spirit would not only be with them but would actively work in their lives. In John 16:5-15, Jesus spells out the Spirit's job description — convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, guiding believers into truth, and ultimately pointing us to the glory of Christ. Through three pictures of light, we see a Spirit who diagnoses our deepest problem, lights the path forward, and keeps our eyes fixed on the only One who can save.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on March 22, 2026.

Key scripture: John 15:18-27

Following Jesus changes more than what we believe—it changes how we live in the world. In John 15:18–27, Jesus prepares his disciples for the reality that faithfulness to him will sometimes create tension with the world around them. Yet he also reminds them that they are not alone: the Holy Spirit empowers believers to stand firm and bear witness to Christ with courage and love.

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Ant Frederick on March 15, 2026.

Key scripture: John 14:15-31

In John 15, through the image of the vine and the branches, Jesus reveals where real, lasting change actually comes from. If you’ve ever felt stuck, weary, or resigned in your spiritual growth, he reminds us that fruit isn’t produced by striving harder—but by abiding deeper. When we stay connected to Christ, trust the Father’s pruning, and walk in obedient faith, He produces the kind of transformation we could never manufacture on our own.

John | Parakletos | March 8

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Ant Frederick on March 8, 2026.

Key scripture: John 14:15-31

As Jesus prepared his disciples for his death, resurrection and ascension, he knew they would have major fears. But the promise he gave them was even greater than their fear–that the Helper, or in Greek, parakletos, is coming. And the incredible news they heard about the Holy Spirit resonates just as deeply today.

Key scripture: John 13:1–17, Philippians 2:5-7, 1 John 1:9

Jesus, knowing the cross was hours away, bent low to serve, even the one who would betray Him. In John 13, we see not just an act of love, but a pattern for how His grace transforms our posture toward others.

John | The Escalation | November 30

,

SUNDAY sermon

Sermon by Michael Bailey on November 30, 2025.

Key scripture: John 11:45-12:11

The raising of Lazarus set in motion the chain of events that would escalate to Jesus’ crucifixion. In John 11:45-12:11, John shows us the responses to Jesus become increasingly polarized. The Pharisees see him as a threat and plot to kill him. Mary sees him as worthy of worship and anoints him with costly perfume. The same tension exists for us. Will see respond to Jesus as a threat to what we hold dear, or worthy of it all?
