Midtown Fellowship: Two Notch

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.

John | The Light of the World | November 2

Sermon by Ant Frederick on November 2, 2025. Key scripture: John 8:12-38 What do you do when life feels like a dark room—uncertain, confusing, even terrifying? Jesus doesn’t just offer comfort in the dark—He declares, “I am the light of the world,” and invites us to follow Him out of the shadows and into the truth.

John | The Jesus Dilemma | October 26

Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 26, 2025. Key scripture: John 7:1–52 Jesus never leaves us neutral. In John 7, as crowds argue and brothers doubt, Jesus steps into the tension with truth that demands a response. He’s either crazy, deceptive—or the Christ. What are we going to do with him?
