Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 6, 2022.
In Acts 27, Paul sets sail to share the gospel in Rome only to later find himself shipwrecked. For this week, we’ll look at how Paul’s able to be a “non-anxious presence” in the midst of it all and how we can learn to do the same.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 30, 2022.
In Acts 20, Paul is giving what we’ve often called a “gospel goodbye” - saying goodbye for the sake of God’s mission. For this week, we’ll look at some things Paul says about himself, in the hopes that one day we might be able to say them, too.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 23, 2022.
This week we look at Acts 19, where Paul shares the gospel in the city of Ephesus. The gospel becomes so disruptive to the town that a riot occurs in the church planting process. So what does it look like today to allow the gospel to disrupt our lives?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 16, 2022.
This week we look at Acts 17. In this chapter, Paul finds himself in a city called Athens as he is asked to provide a reason as to why anyone might trust Jesus and become a Christian. So what’s Paul’s strategy and how might we learn from him when it comes to sharing Jesus with others?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 9, 2022.
This week we look at Acts 16 and the unusual circumstances surrounding the church planted in Philippi. As a church on mission, what can we learn from Paul’s strange encounters?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 2, 2022.
In Acts 15 we see a theological dispute that threatens to tear the church apart. So what does the early church do and how can we learn from it?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on September 25, 2022.
In this week’s passage we see just how committed the early church was to prayer and what God did through those prayers. This is the type of church we want to be too. We want to be a place where miraculous things are happening and the only explanation is “Yeah I don’t know….we prayed and God did it.”
Sermon by Ant Frederick on September 18, 2022.
In Acts 11 we see the church of Antioch. Strangely enough, none of the people that make up this church are named, and yet, God works in them to spread the gospel even further. By God’s grace, our hope is to be like them too.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on September 11, 2022.
One of the most significant barriers today to Christianity is that the gospel is too exclusive, but back then, one of the most significant barriers was that it was too inclusive. This week we look at Acts 10 and see that because of Jesus, no one is "unclean," and no one is too far off to belong. This concept is part of what makes God's church so beautiful.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on September 4, 2022.
There are many challenges and difficulties and trials that come along with being Christ’s witnesses. There will be rejection and opposition. The good news is that our God is greater than all of that, and He has given us a family that He wants to use to strengthen and support us through everything we will face as we follow Him.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on August 28, 2022.
As we celebrate Kidtown Promotion Sunday, we look to the story of Timothy for insight in how children can know God too.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on August 21, 2022.
As we get back into Acts, what does it mean to be the church? Why is it important? And how can we step into God’s story for us some 2,000 years removed from what we see in Acts?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on August 14, 2022.
We have a few catchphrases to narrate who we are, what we do, and what we’re about as a church. One of those is that we’re a people who are “Following Jesus Together.”
One of the primary tools we use to help us follow Jesus is our Covenant Practices - seven practices we believe are crucial for your spiritual health - one of which is abiding with Jesus through the Word of God.
So for this sermon we’ll be answering questions like, “Why is the bible important ” “What role does it play in our lives?” And, “How do we rightly engage with the bible?”
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?
Sermon by Tim Olson on July 31, 2022.
When our expectations don’t line up with reality, we can often it meet it with cynicism or naïveté. So how can we become people of joy no matter what life throws our way?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on July 24, 2022.
From Mr. Rogers to Ted Lasso, we love seeing snapshots of kindness. But what does this fruit of the Spirit actually mean? And how can we access radical kindness in a world that so desperately needs it?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on July 17, 2022.
“To live according to the purpose you were created for,” this is goodness. "When all is as it should be," this is the fruit of the Spirit we’re looking at this week. But how do we know what we’re created for, especially when there is so much confusion around this?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on July 10, 2022.
We live in an age where often times, the more forcefully and bluntly you state how you feel about an issue, the more you’re celebrated by those who hold the same beliefs as you. So for us, how can we press into the fruit of gentleness in an age where harshness is seen as virtue?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on July 3, 2022.
This week we look at the fruit of faithfulness and how God’s faithfulness towards us is meant to move us towards faithfulness to Him and others. But in an age of continual compromise, how do we as followers of Jesus fight to live this out?
