    Revelation: Seeing What’s Really Real (Rev. 1:1-8)

    Revelation: Seeing What’s Really Real (Revelation 1:1–8) In a world filled with uncertainty, conflict, and anxiety, it’s natural to wonder: Is this the end? But the book of Revelation wasn’t written to help us predict the future—it was written to help us live faithfully in the present. In this message, we explore how Revelation pulls back the curtain on reality—revealing who Jesus is, who we are, and who is truly in control. Revelation isn’t about predicting the future... it’s about remembering the future so we can live faithfully today. In This Message -Why every generation has believed they were living in the end times -What Revelation actually is (and how to read it without confusion) -How apocalyptic imagery (dragons, beasts, etc.) communicates truth -Why Jesus is both the Lamb who was slain and the King who reigns -How this changes the way we live in a world that feels unstable Revelation reshapes your life by changing how you: See → You’re not seeing clearly (God reveals what’s really real) Live → Jesus is King (you are sent with purpose) Rest → God holds the story (you can trust Him fully) Practices for the Week: 1. Release Control Daily When anxiety rises, turn it into prayer: “God, I trust You with what I cannot control.” 2. Live Your Faith Out Loud Initiate a spiritual conversation Pray with someone Choose obedience over comfort 3. Remember the Story Spend time in Scripture each day (start with Revelation 1). Ask: What is this showing me about what’s really real? You don’t have to control everything. You don’t have to drift through life. You don’t have to carry what you were never meant to hold. See clearly. Live on purpose. Trust God. Because in the end… the Lamb wins.

    The Prodigal God — A Love That Won’t Stop Pursuing You | Luke 15 (Sue Martinsen & Candace Kim)

    What if the story of the prodigal son isn’t really about the son at all? In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories — a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son — to reveal something far deeper than human failure: A God who relentlessly pursues. This message unpacks the heart of the Father ,a God who searches, runs, and restores, and challenges us to see where we are in the story. We also hear a powerful, raw testimony from Candace Kim, sharing her journey through deep brokenness, abuse, rejection, and pain... and how God pursued her, restored her, and brought healing where it once felt impossible. This is not just a message about being lost. It’s a message about being found.

    Our Sacred Responsibility: ”Building What Lasts” (2 Corinthians 9:6–15)

    Our Sacred Responsibility: Building What Lasts Passage: 2 Corinthians 9:6–15 What we do with money and resources is never just practical — it’s spiritual. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” In a city like Los Angeles, where people come to invest their lives in something meaningful, the question becomes: what are we sowing with our lives? In 2 Corinthians 9, the apostle Paul describes generosity like planting a field. What we sow grows. But when generosity is planted, God does something remarkable — He multiplies it into something much bigger than giving. God turns generosity into worship. In this message we explore how generosity becomes a spiritual chain reaction that leads to thanksgiving, unity, and worship in the community of faith. Main Movements of the Passage 1. The Heart — Generosity reveals what we trust Paul begins with the condition of the heart. Giving in the kingdom of God is never reluctant or forced; it flows from a heart shaped by grace. 2. The Promise — God multiplies what we sow God supplies the seed and multiplies the harvest. The growth is not simply financial—it’s spiritual. God increases righteousness and the impact of generosity. 3. The Result — Generosity produces a harvest of worship When generosity meets real needs, thanksgiving rises to God, communities are strengthened, and worship spreads. Paul closes the passage with the foundation of it all: “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.” Before we ever gave anything, God gave Christ. Christian generosity is simply participating in the generosity of God. Practices for the Week: 1. Examine the soil of your heart Take time to reflect and pray about what shapes your sense of security and trust when it comes to money and resources. 2. Plant one seed of generosity Look for a simple opportunity to bless someone this week—through generosity, service, or encouragement. 3. Give thanks for God’s indescribable gift Spend time remembering the grace of Christ. Gratitude fuels generosity. When grace captures the heart, generosity becomes seed that God multiplies into worship.

    ”From Anxiety To Trust” (Luke 12:13-34)

    BIG IDEA: Your treasure reveals your trust. And generosity is how the Father reshapes the heart. Luke 12 is one of Jesus’ most direct teachings on money, anxiety, and trust. In this message, we’re not taking a “new building offering” or running a campaign—we’re letting Jesus do heart-level surgery. As Frontier steps into a new season of stewarding a building and a long-term vision, the deeper question is: What kind of people are we becoming? In Luke 12, Jesus exposes false security through the parable of the rich fool, then speaks tenderly to His disciples about worry—revealing that anxiety is often a sign of what we believe God is like. The invitation is clear: trust the Father, seek the Kingdom, and let generosity reshape the heart. Key takeaways from the message: -Money is rarely just a math issue. It is almost always a trust issue. -Greed is uniquely blinding because it hides behind “wisdom,” “prudence,” and “being realistic.” -The rich fool’s problem wasn’t wealth—it was building his life without reference to God. -Anxiety is not only a personality trait; it reveals lived theology—what you believe God is like. -Jesus doesn’t say “don’t plan.” He says “don’t panic.” You can have wise plans without worshiping your plans. “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Your treasure doesn’t just reveal your heart—it directs it. Spirit-filled Christianity has historically produced radical generosity, and Acts shows how seriously God treats integrity around generosity. Three questions we ask (and sit with) in the sermon: 1) What am I actually trusting to secure my life? 2) What does my anxiety reveal about my view of God as Father? 3) Where is my treasure going—and what is it forming in me? THE GENEROSITY TEST: 1) Where does my lifestyle money (my margin) go? 2) Has anyone ever been stunned by my generosity? 3) Am I investing in anything that will outlive me? THIS WEEK'S PRACTICE (simple, concrete, and freeing): -Review your last 60 days of spending with the Holy Spirit—not with guilt, but to get free. -Identify one place you’re gripping too tightly and practice loosening your hold. -Ask God for one person or one need you can invest in intentionally this week. If you’re carrying real anxiety around provision—rent, bills, payroll, uncertainty—this message is also for you. We close by praying for breakthrough and reminding one another: you are not alone, and your Father knows what you need. Listen if you want: -A Jesus-centered approach to money that doesn’t manipulate or guilt. -Freedom from anxiety rooted in a deeper view of God as Father. -A practical, formational path into generosity as discipleship.

    WHAT IS SHAPING YOUR TRUTH? John 17:13-19

    What Is Shaping Your Truth? | John 17:13–19 We just stepped into a new building — but Jesus reminds us we’re stepping into something much bigger. In John 17, on the night before the cross, Jesus prays not that His followers would escape the world, but that they would be sanctified in the truth and sent into it. In a culture where truth is personal, autonomy is ultimate, and happiness is the highest good, this prayer feels more urgent than ever. This message explores a defining question for our moment: What is shaping your truth? Because whatever shapes your truth will shape your life — and your mission. In this sermon, we unpack: -How the “world” forms us through repetition, comparison, and cultural pressure -Why conflict is not a sign of failure, but often a sign of faithfulness -What Jesus means when He prays, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your Word is truth” -How sanctification fuels mission — not retreat -What it looks like to live sent without being shaped by the culture around us Jesus does not call us to escape the world. He calls us to love it — without being absorbed by it. Big Idea: In a world trying to shape your truth, Jesus prays that you would be sanctified by His truth — so you can be sent into the world without being shaped by it. This message is part of our vision for Frontier Church as we seek to renew the beauty of Jesus on the frontiers of modern culture.

    Formed to Overcome: ”The Only Way to Defeat Evil” | Romans 12

    Formed to Overcome: "The Only Way to Defeat Evil" | Romans 12 As we close our final Sunday at Webster Elementary and prepare to step into our new space, we return to Romans 12 and ask a defining question: If the gospel is true, what kind of people does it create? Paul tells us that in view of God’s mercy, we offer our lives as living sacrifices. We don’t improve ourselves first — we offer ourselves first. And from that altar, something happens. The gospel produces a people who are: -Humble — secure enough not to prove themselves -Connected — members of a body, not spiritual consumers -Participating — using the grace already given for the good of others But Paul doesn’t stop there. He moves from the body to the world and describes the “marks of a true Christian”: -Genuine love -Blessing instead of retaliation -Honor instead of comparison -Peace instead of escalation -Overcoming evil with good These are not just nice moral teachings. They are the result of a reality that has been redefined by the cross and resurrection. The gospel reshapes: Power — from domination to self-giving love Justice — from personal vengeance to trust in God’s judgment Identity — from performance to adopted security Future Hope — from panic in the present to resurrection certainty Because of Jesus, we don’t have to dominate, retaliate, defend, or panic. We are formed to overcome. As we step into a new season as a church, we are asking the Holy Spirit to form us into a people who live secure, carry the body, and bring peace. Overcome evil with good.

    VISION SERIES: Formation, Part 2 // ”Living Out Transformation”, Rom 12:1-2

    What are we really offering our lives to? In this message from our Vision Series, we linger in Romans 12:1–2 and name the quiet, powerful forces shaping us every day. The Bible calls us to become living sacrifices—but that raises an honest question: What are we already sacrificing ourselves for? This teaching explores five modern “altars” that often form our pace, identity, and sense of worth: -productivity -security -image -control -success None of these are evil—but left unquestioned, they slowly disciple us. Paul’s invitation in Romans 12 isn’t about trying harder or becoming more spiritual. It’s about offering our whole lives in response to God’s mercy and being re-formed by a different story. The message closes with a simple, embodied practice—inviting us to slow down, pay attention to what’s shaping us, and take one small step of faithful obedience this week. This is formation that’s honest, communal, and sustainable. Not self-improvement—but a life shaped by grace. Scripture: Romans 12:1–2 Series: Vision Series — Family, Formation, Frontiers

    VISION SERIES: ”Formation” // A Life Formed By Making God Home, Ps 71

    What does steady faith look like in a chaotic world? In this message from Psalm 71, Pastor Christian invites us to take the long view of faith — a faith formed not by dramatic rescue, but by learning to make God our home over a lifetime. Before opening the text, he briefly and pastorally addresses two real tensions many are feeling right now: 1) the renewed immigration unrest and recent deaths connected to enforcement and protest, naming both the fear people are carrying and the need for truth, dignity, and moral clarity beyond political tribes 2) the recent revelations surrounding Shawn Bolz and the prophetic movement, offering guidance for how a Word-and-Spirit church pursues spiritual gifts with biblical grounding, humility, and safeguards From there, Psalm 71 becomes the anchor — a psalm written not by the young or the old, but by someone learning to trust God across seasons. This message explores: -what it means to make God our dwelling, not just our helper -how trust shifts from outcomes to God’s character -how a life quietly shaped by God’s presence can become a sign of hope to others This is a sermon for anyone tired of reactionary faith, outrage-driven narratives, or spiritual shortcuts — and hungry for a deeper, steadier way of walking with God. Key theme: Faith is formed when we make God our home, trust who He is, and live today in light of His future faithfulness.
