[January 14, 2024] This week our Lead Pastor Nate Ray kicks off our new teaching series, “James: True Wisdom.” It doesn’t get any more practical than James, and we’ll discover the struggle is real, but so is the inbreaking of God’s kingdom. James 1 sets the tone for the rest of James’ letter. Listen and be encouraged.

Want to read James with us? Here is a recommended reading plan, along with some suggested resources if you want to dig even further!

READING PLAN:
-Read James in 10 days (1/2 chapter every day)
-Then read Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in 6 days (1/2 chapter every day, Matthew 5-7).
-Repeat. James is unpacking Jesus’ teaching in his letter; the two compliment one another in incredible ways.

[December 31, 2023] Our Lead Pastor Nate has to call an audible – the person scheduled to give the message is sick. And so on this New Year’s Eve, Nate walks through some suggestions on how to read the Bible this coming year, and shares how he reads the Bible devotionally. He ends with a moment specific for the kids of The Front. Listen and be encouraged.

[December 24, 2023] What makes this night holy? Our Lead Pastor Nate continue our teaching series, Christmas Playlist, by reflecting around this question and looking at John’s introduction to His Gospel in John 1. There is no distance our God is unwilling to go to bring you home. Listen and be encouraged.

The post “O Holy Night” – Christmas Eve appeared first on The Front Church.

[December 17, 2023] It’s audacious, but our Lead Pastor Nate Ray attempts to address Christianity’s biggest claim and a few of our common hangups with Christianity’s biggest claim. He attempts to teach in a way that we all feel a part of the story. It might feel a bit like a puzzle being put together, but stick with him, because it will all come together when he circles to the Christmas story at the end. Listen and be encouraged: “God is not dead, nor does He sleep; the wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, good will to men.”
