Jesus Isn't Scared by Imperfect Faith
[June 28, 2026] What do you do when your faith feels weak, mixed, or uncertain? In Mark 9, we meet a father who comes to Jesus with one of the most honest moments in Scripture: “I believe; help my unbelief.” This message explores how Jesus responds to imperfect faith—and why the object of your faith matters more than the size of it.

We Don't Need Tissues. We Need Rescue.
[June 21, 2026] What if you do not need all the answers before inviting someone to explore Jesus?
In John 1, ordinary people encounter Jesus and simply say, “Come and see.” This message is for anyone with questions, doubts, curiosity—or someone in their life who may just need a simple invitation to take one step closer.

We Don't Need Tissues. We Need Rescue.
[June 14, 2026] In “We Don’t Need Tissues. We Need Rescue,” Pastor Nate Ray looks at Jesus’ words in Matthew 19: “Let the little children come to me.” As The Front Church prepares for Kids Camp, this message explores why children are not interruptions to the kingdom of God — they reveal the kingdom. Through Matthew 19, Matthew 18, Matthew 16, and Luke 23, we see that every one of us does not ultimately need more self-improvement, distraction, or religious performance. We need rescue — and Jesus has come to rescue us.

What is this Babbler Trying to Say? (+ a big announcement)
[June 7, 2026] In “What Is This Babbler Trying to Say?” we look at Acts 17 and Paul’s conversation at the Areopagus to explore why talking about Jesus can feel so intimidating — and why the response is ultimately not ours to control. Paul felt the ache, found the space, spoke of Jesus, and trusted Jesus with the response. In this message, we also share why The Front Church is launching Alpha: a space for honest conversations about life, faith, questions, doubts, and Jesus. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t know enough, say enough, or have enough to talk about faith, this message is for you.

Repair-Rich Marriage
[May 10, 2026] Great marriages aren’t conflict-free—they’re repair-rich. In this message from Ephesians 5:21–33, we explore God’s vision for marriage as a signpost pointing to Christ and the church. We look at why this passage begins with mutual submission, what it means for husbands to love with Jesus-shaped, self-giving sacrifice, and why healthy relationships are marked by repair instead of escalation. You’ll also learn what a “repair attempt” is, why it matters, and a practical 24-hour repair challenge you can apply right away. Most importantly, we see how the gospel fuels repair: God moved toward us first in Jesus—so we can learn to move toward one another.

Unmarried, Not Alone (+ Baptism)
[April 26, 2026] In a culture that treats being unmarried like a problem to fix, Jesus offers a completely different vision: unmarried isn’t second-class—and the church must offer thick belonging to everyone. In this message, we explore why marriage is good but not ultimate, how Jesus and Paul speak about being unmarried, and why the New Testament points to the church—not marriage—as God’s answer to loneliness. If you’ve ever felt left out, overlooked, or pressured to “find your person” to be whole, this message will help you see where real life is found: in Jesus, and in the family he forms.

Jesus, Make Me New (Easter 2026)
[April 5, 2026] In “Jesus, Make Me New,” we explore why Easter matters when life feels broken, heavy, or hopeless. In this message from Romans 4, we look at the God who “gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.” This message shows why Christianity is not about trying harder or just being a good person, but about trusting Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and was raised to life to make us right with God. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of God you’re really dealing with, this message points to the risen Jesus, who makes people new.

The End of the Temple
[March 29, 2026] In this message from Mark 11, we explore why Jesus flipped tables in the temple and why this moment was more than a cleansing. By tracing Jesus’ words back to Isaiah 56 and Jeremiah 7, this teaching shows how the temple had failed in its purpose—and how Jesus is the true Temple, the place where heaven and earth meet, sins are forgiven, outsiders are welcomed, and our debt is paid. If you want to better understand Mark 11, Palm Sunday, Jesus and the temple, the fig tree, and the bigger story of the Bible, this message will help you see how it all points to Jesus.

When Faithfulness Doesn't Protect You
[January 11, 2026] What happens when you’re doing everything right but life still falls apart? Job’s story shatters our comfortable assumptions about faith and fairness. Sometimes faithfulness doesn’t protect you from hardship – but that doesn’t mean God has abandoned you. Can you still trust God’s goodness when circumstances suggest otherwise? Pastor Nate kicks off our series, “The Book of Job: When Life Makes No Sense.”

"Convenience or Connection"
[November 2, 2025] In our convenience-driven world, we’ve mastered the art of avoiding real connection. From ordering food through apps to attending church online, we choose ease over engagement, yet wonder why we feel so alone. The root problem isn’t technology itself, but our tendency to choose convenience over connection. Watch as Pastor Nate kicks off our new teaching series, “Get in the Game.”

"Is the God of the Old Testament the God of the New Testament?"
[October 5, 2025] “Jesus Christ is perfect theology.” The sermon explains that difficult Old Testament passages, like the conquest narratives in Joshua, must be understood in their historical and literary context, including ancient warfare rhetoric and cultural practices. God revealed Himself progressively throughout history, and Jesus is God fully revealed. Therefore, Christians should interpret all Scripture through the lens of Jesus, who demonstrated God’s true character by dying for His enemies and teaching love rather than vengeance.

"Hasn't the Bible Been Corrupted?"
[September 7, 2025] Has your faith ever been challenged by questions about the Bible’s reliability?

What if your questions aren’t a threat to faith but the very path to finding it? Join us as we examine whether the Bible has been corrupted and why Jesus welcomes your toughest questions.
