  • How (Not) to Read the Bible — Week 2

    What's the deal with the verses in the Bible about pigskin and shrimp and other seemingly obscure things? There are things in the Bible that sound strange to us, but would make sense to them. Or more seriously, what's the deal with the Bible's take on slavery? There's a lot of shade thrown at the Bible, but maybe it's because we're misunderstanding how the Bible works and how we're supposed to read it. Join us as our Lead Pastor Nate continues our teaching series, "How (Not) to Read the Bible."

  • Never Read a Bible Verse – How (Not) to Read the Bible

    This week, our Lead Pastor Nate kicks off our new teaching series, “How (Not) to Read the Bible.” There are a lot of questions aimed at the Bible: Is the Bible anti-women? Is the Bible anti-science? Does the Bible condone slavery? Is the Bible pro-violence? Many steer clear of Christianity because of questions like these. At The Front Church, we’re not afraid of these types of questions; we welcome them. And we believe there are reasonable answers to be found. Join us on our adventure: how (not) to read the Bible.

  • True Identity – Philippians 4

    “Who am I?” In his letter, Paul is inviting his readers to remember their true identity. True identity remembers who God is (Jesus!), who we are, and who He says we are. All sin, on the other hand, results from mistaken identity and leads to inner brokenness and outer brokenness. Paul himself was learning what it meant to live out of his true identity. Our Lead Pastor Nate wraps our 4 week teaching series through Paul’s Letter to the Philippians. Join us in looking at Paul’s letter to the Philippians with fresh eyes.

  • Skubala Happens – Philippians 3

    There is a former life before Jesus that looked good on the outside for Paul: it looked good religiously and it looked good socially. Yet, the Apostle Paul describes his former (good) life as garbage; why? Paul uses strong language to make a strong point: his life with Jesus far surpasses any other version of his life without Jesus.

  • Jesus Christ is Perfect Theology – Philippians 2

  • Jesus’ Work in Paul – Philippians 1

    Our Lead Pastor Nate Ray kicks off a 4 week teaching series through Paul’s letter to the Philippians. New to the Bible? The Front is the perfect church for you! We try and talk about the Bible in everyday ordinary ways, so that everyday ordinary people can understand. When reading Paul’s letter to the Philippians, it’s tempting to think, “Whoa! Paul is amazing!” But if we do that, we’ll miss the point. When we read Philippians, we should think, “Whoa, Jesus is amazing! Look at His work through Paul’s life! Look at His work through the church in Philippi!” We invite you to look at Paul’s letter to the Philippians with us with fresh eyes.
