Sermon by Chet Philips on March 10, 2024.
Last week, we looked at Ruth chapter 1 and how, in roughly ten years, Naomi’s dreams of a better life are ruined. Chapter one then implicitly asks the reader, “How will God provide?” In chapter 2, we’ll see God’s invisible hand at work through seemingly ordinary faithfulness.

Biblical Literacy
Sermon by Ant Frederick on March 3, 2024.
Stories have the power to move us. They have the ability to affect us like facts, and bullet points can’t. A good story doesn’t leave us where it found us. That is especially true of biblical stories.
Over the next four weeks, we will journey into the true story of Ruth. Ruth is a story with ups and downs, conflict and loss, joy and laughter. There are compelling characters who we are meant to learn from both in good and bad.
It’s in this story that we are faced with a question we must all ask in our lives at one point or another, will we entrust ourselves to a sovereign and faithful God?

Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 25, 2024.
If you knew God was with you no matter what, what do you think your life look like? As we’ll see in our final week of the series, Joseph goes through pain, suffering, and exile, yet the Bible says, “The LORD was with him.”

Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 18, 2024.
This week, we look at Exodus 32: God's people have left Egypt, but as we'll see, there's still a lot of "Egypt" left in God's people. So, how can we faithfully follow Jesus when external and internal pressures compel us to make God in our image?

Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 11, 2024.
This week, we study one of the most prominent characters in the Torah: Moses. In Exodus 3, we'll see how Moses' commissioning raises many doubts and objections and how God replies in a way we may not expect.

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on February 4, 2024.
This week, we examine an oft-overlooked ancestor in the Torah, Leah. As we'll see in Genesis 29, Leah teaches us something profound about viewing reality outside of one's circumstances.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 21, 2024.
This week, we look at our first ghost in the series: Esau. As we will see, the Torah provides us with a cautionary tale - the danger in trading what you want most for what you think you want right now.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 14, 2024.
How would you define "faith"? Church culture throws that word around a lot, but it's pivotal in understanding what the Torah and the rest of the Bible want to communicate to its audience. The Bible answers this by showing us the life of Abraham, "the man of faith," in the book of Genesis.
Ghosts & Ancestors | The Two Paths | January 7

Sermon
Year of
Biblical Literacy
Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 7, 2024.
It’s often said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
As we look at the first five books of Scripture, stories abound of those who trusted God and those who did not. Some, through faith, went on to be ancestors who blessed those after them. Others proved to be ghosts that haunt their lineage with heartache and pain.
As we learn to interpret the narratives in the Torah, both the negative and the positive, we’ll see how God works in the midst of it all and calls us into his story, inviting us to walk in the steps of our ancestors who came before us.

Fruit of the Spirit | Self-Control in a time of Self-Fulfillment | August 7
Sermon by Ant Frederick on August 7, 2022.
As we wrap up our series we look at the final fruit of the Spirit: self-control. How do we live into this when our world seems to view self-control as repressive or at the very least, something we don’t want to emphasize in our lives?
