Midtown Fellowship: Two Notch

Sermon by Ant Frederick on June 21, 2026.Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 & Luke 15:11-32Jesus didn’t just tell us to pray—He taught us how. In this series, we’ll learn to pray by walking through the Lord’s Prayer, letting stories from the Gospels shape our posture, priorities, and trust in God. Together, we’ll discover prayer not as a formula to master, but a relationship that forms us as we learn to seek the Father’s heart.

Sermon by Jon Jamison on June 7, 2026.Key scripture: John 20:1-18The narrative of the empty tomb shows us a risen savior that is personal, present, & patient with us.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on May 24, 2026.Key scripture: John 18:28-38Most of us aren’t openly hostile to Jesus — we’re just distracted, pragmatic, and hesitant to let His truth cost us something. This week we explore Pilate’s encounter with Jesus and the invitation to belong to a kingdom that is not of this world.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on May 10, 2026.Key scripture: John 18:1-14In John 18:1–14, John goes out of his way to show us that Jesus was not a passive victim swept away by forces beyond his control — he was a sovereign Savior who advanced toward his own arrest with full knowledge, full authority, and full intention. Because the cross was something Jesus moved toward on purpose, we can trust his sovereignty in our own darkness, rest in the personal nature of his sacrifice, and worship rather than pity him.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on February 8, 2026. Key scripture: Genesis 3:1-13, Ephesians 5:22-25, 33 The biblical account of Adam and Eve’s fall represents a broken picture of marital roles, where men tend toward apathetic abdication and women toward anxious over-functioning. To remedy this, God offers us a redeemed vision in Ephesians 5, encouraging husbands and wives to trust God’s genius design by practicing sacrificial leadership and supportive respect to reflect the relationship between Christ and the church.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 18, 2026. Key scripture: Genesis 1:26-28 & 2:18-22 In the West, there seems to be endless discussion about men and women. What do those words mean? Do they matter? Is their distinction even important? All the while, men and women are struggling. Men are not doing well, women are not doing well, and marriages are not doing well either. And we often don’t know how to talk about why. At times, we lack the clarity to see that some of our biggest problems go all the way to our God-given, gendered design. There is a lot of deep confusion, and the topic of gender differentiation is often incredibly contentious. But what if it doesn’t have to be? What if a better understanding of our God-given design sheds light on many of our problems? God’s Word extends an invitation to find our joy in God’s good design for our gender. The Biblical foundation of two genders made with fundamental equality AND unique wiring, skills, and responsibilities is both more in line with reality and more helpful for human flourishing, healthy marriages, and an overall healthy society.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on January 4, 2026.Key scripture: John 13:31-38, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 1 John 4:19In a moment of confusion and betrayal, Jesus anchors His disciples in clarity and purpose: love one another as I have loved you. This kind of love, Jesus says, is how the world will know who belongs to Him.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on December 14, 2025.Key scripture: John 12:12-50What kind of king are you hoping for? Advent reminds us we often long for strength and victory—but Jesus arrives on a donkey. This week, we consider how He draws us through humility, not force.
