Key scripture: John 2:1-12
What do you do when the wine runs out? At a wedding on the verge of social disaster, Jesus quietly turns shame into honor and scarcity into abundance—hinting at the deeper rescue He offers to all who trust Him.

Key scripture: John 1:35–51
Jesus’ first disciples didn’t just believe in Him—they followed Him. This message invites us to consider how our own lives are always being discipled by something, and what it would mean to follow Jesus as our true Rabbi.

Key scripture: John 1:6–8, 19–34 & 3:22–30
As we welcome our children for a child-friendly message, we receive from John the Baptist a reminder that, because Jesus is the light, we are to seek His glory above our own.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on August 17, 2025.
Key scripture: John 1:1-5, 14 & 20:30-31
The book of John is a firsthand account from one of Jesus’ closest friends—someone who walked with Him, heard His voice, saw His miracles, stood at the cross, and ran to the empty tomb — so that “you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” (John 20:30).
At its heart, the Gospel of John invites us not only to know the facts about Jesus but to encounter His love in a way that changes how we see ourselves, our purpose, and the world around us.

In our world, we often seek approval, esteem, and recognition from others through our social interactions. But imagine how different our world would be if, instead, we prioritized honoring and uplifting others in those same spaces. This is the way of life in the Kingdom of God.

This week, we look to Jesus' story that compares the Word of God with seeds and our hearts with the ground that the seeds fall on. This exposing teaching of Jesus opens our eyes to be able to see what kind of heart embraces His Word and what kind of heart doesn't receive it.

Last week, we talked about repentance. In many ways, repentance opens the door to becoming the beautiful person you ought to be because repentance makes us right with God and allows these words spoken over Jesus to be spoken over us: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Sermon by Ant Frederick on August 18, 2024.
How would you summarize Jesus’ teachings? Depending on who you ask, you’re likely to get different answers. However, Jesus’ summary statement is actually one of his first statements in the Gospels: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
In other words, Jesus’ life and teachings are all about ushering in God’s loving rule and reign on Earth as it is in Heaven. So what might His kingdom look like in our city, and how do we faithfully follow Him in our time and place?
Join us for five weeks as we examine Jesus’ teachings and consider how we can experience more of His kingdom in Columbia as it is in Heaven.
