Known and Loved | Known and Loved by God | January 5

Sunday sermon

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.

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.

Is it me, my feelings, or is it based on biology or something else?
