John | It Is Finished | May 31

Sermon by Ant Frederick on May 31, 2026. Key scripture: John 19:1-7, John 19:12-37 In some of Jesus’ final words on the cross, we hear the proclamation that sin, guilt, shame, suffering, and death will not have the final word for those who belong to Him. Jesus’ death is the end of His mortal life, and it is the beginning of the end of sin’s reign over His people.

John | What is Truth? | May 24

Sermon by Ant Frederick on May 24, 2026. Key scripture: John 18:28-38 Most of us aren’t openly hostile to Jesus — we’re just distracted, pragmatic, and hesitant to let His truth cost us something. This week we explore Pilate’s encounter with Jesus and the invitation to belong to a kingdom that is not of this world.

John | What Jesus Does With Failure | May 17

Sermon by Ant Frederick on May 17, 2026. Key scripture: John 18:15-27 We tend to believe our failures define us, but John 18 shows us a faithful Jesus who remains steady where Peter collapses — and who lovingly restores the people who let Him down.

John | More than a Victim | May 10

Sermon by Ant Frederick on May 10, 2026. Key scripture: John 18:1-14 In John 18:1–14, John goes out of his way to show us that Jesus was not a passive victim swept away by forces beyond his control — he was a sovereign Savior who advanced toward his own arrest with full knowledge, full authority, and full intention. Because the cross was something Jesus moved toward on purpose, we can trust his sovereignty in our own darkness, rest in the personal nature of his sacrifice, and worship rather than pity him.

John | Unity Like the Trinity | April 26

Sermon by Ant Frederick on April 26, 2026. Key scripture: John 17:20-26 Jesus’ final prayer reveals that our unity isn’t optional—it’s central to God’s mission, flowing from His own nature and pointing the world to His love.
