Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 23, 2025.
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: James 1:22-2:13
This week, James warns us of the danger of learning things about God without doing what God says, particularly when it comes to showing partiality.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 2, 2025.
Key scripture: James 1:13-18
This week, James will help us fight sin in our lives by showing us the nature of sin and the perspective to resist it.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 26, 2025.
Key scripture: James 1:1-12
To faithfully follow Jesus, our faith must be marked by action. Our belief should lead us into good works and obedience. In the book of James, we are challenged by the brother of Jesus to examine the authenticity of our faith and to ensure that it fills each area of our everyday lives.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 19, 2025.
Key scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:14-20
As we wrap our series, we look at the last piece of our vision as a church: to know and love our neighbors. This week, we look at how loving God and our church family moves us to go out, build friendships, invite others in, and tell them about Jesus.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 12, 2025.
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.

Christ has risen and ascended to the right hand of the Father where He reigns and intercedes for us as our Great High Priest!
Sermon by Ant Frederick on December 17, 2023.
Advent is Latin for "adventus," meaning "arrival," where we celebrate the arrival of Jesus over 2,000 years ago with the global, historic Church. For each week of the Advent season, we look at one thing Jesus has made possible for us through His birth. This week, we look at Love.
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.
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?”
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.
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.
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?

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?
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.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on September 17, 2023.
Over these 10 years, God has continued to grow the number of children and students in our church. It is important that, as a church, we diligently teach our children about the Lord. Today, we are inviting our children to worship in the room with us as our special guests. We'll tell them about Christ, sing the songs they sing in Kidtown with them, and celebrate how God is developing them.
