Midtown Fellowship: Two Notch

John | The Triumphal Entry | December 14

Sermon by Ant Frederick on December 14, 2025. Key scripture: John 12:12-50 What kind of king are you hoping for? Advent reminds us we often long for strength and victory—but Jesus arrives on a donkey. This week, we consider how He draws us through humility, not force.

John | Lazarus and Resurrection Life | December 7

Sermon by Ant Frederick on December 7, 2025. Key scripture: John 11:1-44 As tension heats up between Jesus and the Jewish leaders, a close friend of Jesus’ falls gravely ill and dies. Jesus responds to the suffering of his close friends by raising Lazarus from the dead, and this event seals the fate of Jesus. Lazarus’ resurrection would lead to Jesus’ cross, which leads to resurrection life for all who trust him.

John | The Escalation | November 30

Sermon by Michael Bailey on November 30, 2025. Key scripture: John 11:45-12:11 The raising of Lazarus set in motion the chain of events that would escalate to Jesus’ crucifixion. In John 11:45-12:11, John shows us the responses to Jesus become increasingly polarized. The Pharisees see him as a threat and plot to kill him. Mary sees him as worthy of worship and anoints him with costly perfume. The same tension exists for us. Will see respond to Jesus as a threat to what we hold dear, or worthy of it all?

John | I Am the Good Shepherd | November 23

Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 23, 2025. Key scripture: John 10:1-30 What voices are shaping your life—and do they lead to peace or confusion? Jesus says his sheep recognize his voice, and in following him, they find abundant life.

John | The Man Born Blind | November 9

Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 9, 2025. Key scripture: John 9:1-41 A once-blind man tells the truth while religious leaders cling to control. Jesus turns everything upside down—inviting us to see with new eyes and live with bold faith.
