His & Hers | Husbands, Love Your Wives | February 15

Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 15, 2026. Key scripture: Ephesians 5:22-33 Ephesians 5:22-33 describes how husbands and wives are called to relate to one another in a way that glorifies God and becomes a virtuous cycle that increases marital satisfaction. In the first of two sermons on this passage, we look at how husbands can love their wives as Christ loves the church.

His & Hers | God's Design For Marriage | February 8

Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 8, 2026. Key scripture: Genesis 3:1-13, Ephesians 5:22-25, 33 The biblical account of Adam and Eve’s fall represents a broken picture of marital roles, where men tend toward apathetic abdication and women toward anxious over-functioning. To remedy this, God offers us a redeemed vision in Ephesians 5, encouraging husbands and wives to trust God’s genius design by practicing sacrificial leadership and supportive respect to reflect the relationship between Christ and the church.

His & Hers | Male and Female He Created Them | January 18

Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 18, 2026. Key scripture: Genesis 1:26-28 & 2:18-22 In the West, there seems to be endless discussion about men and women. What do those words mean? Do they matter? Is their distinction even important? All the while, men and women are struggling. Men are not doing well, women are not doing well, and marriages are not doing well either. And we often don’t know how to talk about why. At times, we lack the clarity to see that some of our biggest problems go all the way to our God-given, gendered design. There is a lot of deep confusion, and the topic of gender differentiation is often incredibly contentious. But what if it doesn’t have to be? What if a better understanding of our God-given design sheds light on many of our problems? God’s Word extends an invitation to find our joy in God’s good design for our gender. The Biblical foundation of two genders made with fundamental equality AND unique wiring, skills, and responsibilities is both more in line with reality and more helpful for human flourishing, healthy marriages, and an overall healthy society.

Stand-Alone | We Will Rise Again | January 11

Sermon by Justin Gates on January 11, 2026. Key scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 In 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, Paul reminds believers that the resurrection of the dead is certain because it is grounded in the resurrection of Jesus Himself. He also shows that the resurrection is ordered, with Christ returning first and His people being raised and gathered to Him according to God’s perfect plan. Because this hope is secure and future glory is assured, believers are called to encourage one another with these words.
