    The Burden Is the Beginning | David Doerner

    What color shirt are you wearing in the mission of the church? Just like an aircraft carrier assigns roles by shirt color so everyone knows their part in the mission, you'll discover what burden God has placed on your heart and how to step into serving with purpose rather than obligation. You can expect to identify the specific brokenness that moves you to tears, learn how to respond to that burden with prayer and action, and be challenged to leave comfort behind to make a real difference for the kingdom—not someday, but today.Passages in this message: Nehemiah 1:1-11Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Do Not Covet | David Doerner

    What if the thing you're chasing isn't actually what you need? You'll discover how coveting—desiring what others have—can silently steer your entire life off course, leading you to become extraordinarily successful at things that ultimately don't matter. You can expect to understand why the last commandment about coveting is one of the most dangerous, and you'll be challenged to identify what you need to let go of to truly grasp the life Jesus offers. Through the story of the rich young ruler, you'll see that the antidote to coveting isn't wanting things less—it's wanting Jesus most.Passages in this message:Exodus 20:17Luke 18:18-27Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Don't Commit Adultery | David Doerner

    What kind of bait is the enemy using to hook you and destroy what matters most in your life? You'll discover how sexual temptation works like a lure with a hidden hook—something that looks appetizing but leads to devastation in your marriage, family, and relationship with God. You can expect to understand why Jesus takes such a radical approach to lust and adultery, and you'll learn practical steps to flee temptation, break free from strongholds, and experience the grace and forgiveness that Jesus offers. This is a call to move toward the light and take back ground from the enemy.Passages in this message:Exodus 20:14Matthew 5:27-291 Corinthians 6:18-19Galatians 5:24Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Do Not Steal | Blake Hicks

    What if "thou shalt not steal" is about more than just taking things that don't belong to you? You'll discover how stealing often begins with a failure to trust God's provision and how comparison creates a dangerous sense of entitlement in our hearts. Through the eighth commandment, you can expect to learn how Jesus calls us beyond simply not taking—He invites us to live with open hands, marked by radical generosity rather than anxious accumulation. You'll be challenged to shift from asking "what can I get?" to "what can I give?" as you discover the freedom that comes from using your God-given gifts to serve others.Passages in this message:Exodus 20:1-17Ephesians 4:28Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Don't Bear False Witness | Brian Blum

    Why do we lie, and what lies have we believed about ourselves? You'll discover that every sin—including the lies we tell—begins with believing lies about God and who we are. Through exploring the ninth commandment, you can expect to learn how to replace the world's lies with God's truth by knowing Jesus, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance, and testifying to the truth in your own life. This is an invitation to stop singing the song the world taught you and embrace the freedom that comes from knowing who God says you are.Passages in this message:Exodus 20:16Genesis 3:1-61 John 3:19-20John 8:32John 14:6John 14:16John 15:26John 16:13John 18:37John 1:14Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Keep Sabbath Holy | Noah Archer

    Do Not Murder | David Doerner

    What if the anger you're holding onto is slowly killing something precious inside of you?

Through the story of Cain and Abel and the remarkable testimony of Olympic hero Louis Zamperini, you'll learn how unresolved anger doesn't just hurt others—it destroys you from within.

    Honor Your Parents | Brian Blum

    What if honoring your parents isn't really about them at all, but about who you're becoming? You'll discover that the fifth commandment challenges our natural resistance to authority and reveals how the gospel transforms our ability to honor imperfect parents. Whether your parents were amazing or deeply flawed, you can expect to learn how your heavenly Father's perfect love frees you to forgive, move forward, and write a new legacy. This exploration will show you that your future matters more than your past, and your identity as God's adopted child changes everything.Passages in this message:Exodus 20:12Ephesians 6:4Galatians 4:4-5Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Lord's Name In Vain | David Doerner

    What does it mean to carry God's name, and are you representing Him well in your everyday life? You'll discover why God takes His name so seriously—it's not just about avoiding profanity, but about how your entire life reflects His character to the world around you. You can expect to be challenged about the gap between who God is and how you're living, while also receiving the beautiful reminder that God welcomes you back with forgiveness and gives you His own name as your identity. This will help you walk out with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that every interaction and decision is an opportunity to represent the God who calls you His own.Passages in this message:Exodus 20:7Exodus 19:5-6Ephesians 4:29-32Revelation 3:12Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Don't Make Idols | David Doerner

    Are you worshiping a version of God you've created, or the God who actually is? In a world where everything can be customized to our preferences, it's easy to reduce God to fit our desires—wanting His mercy for us but justice for others, His acceptance without His call to change. You'll discover why the second commandment warns against making idols, not just physical statues but the subtle ways we reshape God's character to match our own values and comfort. Through the story of the golden calf and the person of Jesus, you can expect to see God as He truly is and understand why only He—not the reduced version we create—can save us.Passages in this message:Exodus 20:4-6Exodus 32:1-6Romans 1:21-25Colossians 1:15Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    No Other Gods | David Doerner

    What are you really worshiping—and is it giving you the life you were made for?

You can expect to identify the hidden idols competing for your heart and learn how to replace them with the One who actually loves you enough to give everything for you. This is an invitation to step into the covenantal relationship God has always desired with you.Passages in this message:Exodus 19:4-6Exodus 20:2-3Deuteronomy 6:5Matthew 22:37-40Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Can You Follow Jesus and Not Be Part of the Church? | Blake Hicks

    Can you truly follow Jesus while refusing to be part of the church He established? You'll discover why Jesus never separated belief from belonging, and how isolation from Christian community puts your spiritual life at serious risk. Through powerful real-life stories and biblical truth, you'll understand that God didn't just save you from something—He saved you into something: a family, a body, a mission called the church. You can expect to be challenged about whether you're merely consuming church or actually contributing to it, and you'll receive an invitation back into the community you were always meant for.Passages in this message:Matthew 16:18Ecclesiastes 4:9Ephesians 4:12Acts 2:42Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Why Does God Care About My Sexuality? | Brian Blum

    Why does God care so much about your sexuality? You'll discover that sex isn't just a physical act—it was designed by God to unite us at every level and draw us closer to Him. You can expect to understand God's original design for sexuality, learn why sexual sin requires a different approach than other sins, and find freedom from the shame and fear that keep you hiding. Most importantly, you'll encounter Jesus as the friend of sinners who offers real forgiveness and wholeness.Passages in this message:1 Corinthians 6:12-20Genesis 2:24Matthew 19Ephesians 5Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Is It Wrong to Doubt God? | David Doerner

    Have you ever felt like your doubt disqualifies you from following God? You'll discover that doubt isn't just the absence of faith—it's actually an opportunity for it.

You'll be challenged to bring your doubts directly to God and discover what faith step He's asking you to take right now.Passages in this message:John 20:24-25John 20:26-29Genesis 3Acts 1:13Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    What Happens When Jesus Comes Back? | Jeremy Grinnell

    Why does life have to be so hard—and what does Christ's return have to do with your weariness today? You'll discover why the promise of Jesus' return isn't about decoding apocalyptic charts, but about anchoring hope when life has stripped away your dreams, fractured your relationships, or left you staring into the void. You can expect to understand how this promise speaks directly to the tired, the broken, and the forgotten—offering not just distant comfort, but the assurance that your sorrows will not have the last word. This exploration will reframe Christ's return from a theological curiosity into the lifeline that sustains you through every hard day.Passages in this message:Matthew 24:37-42Matthew 25:31-34, 41Acts 2:17-20Revelation 21:1-52 Corinthians 4:8-9, 16-17Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? | David Doerner

    Why do bad things happen to good people—and where is God when you're in pain? Through the story of Jesus healing a man born blind, you'll discover that God's goodness isn't measured by the absence of pain, but by His presence in it. You'll learn to shift from asking "Why is this happening?" to "What are you doing, God, in the midst of this?" and find hope that God may be working in ways you can't yet see.Passages in this message:John 9:1-11James 1:2-4Romans 8:28Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Why Should I Trust the Bible? | David Doerner

    When was the last time you actually read the user's manual for your car—and could we be treating the Bible the same way? You'll discover why the Bible has survived thousands of years of persecution and copyist errors to remain the most credible ancient text in existence, with over 25,000 handwritten manuscripts proving its accuracy. You can expect to learn the transformative purpose of Scripture—not just to inform you, but to reveal truth, correct what's wrong in your life, and equip you for what God created you to do. Plus, you'll get practical guidance on where to start reading and how engaging with the Bible just four times a week can statistically reduce anxiety, loneliness, and risky behaviors while increasing your faith and purpose.Passages in this message:2 Timothy 3:15-17Hebrews 4:122 Peter 1:19-21Psalm 74:12-13Psalm 23Psalm 46Psalm 91Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    How Could a Loving God Send Someone to Hell? | Brian Blum

    How could a loving God send someone to hell? You'll discover what Jesus actually taught about hell through the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, learning that hell is ultimately about the choices we make in this life rather than God's rejection. You can expect to understand how our identity in Christ is the only thing that can't be stripped away, and why God's heart isn't indifference toward the lost but patient longing for even one more person to come home.Passages in this message:Luke 16:19-312 Peter 3:9Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Easter | David Doerner

    Lie of Control | David Doerner

    What if the secret to experiencing the life God created for you isn't found in gaining more control, but in deliberately releasing it back to Him? You'll discover why our natural impulse to control everything—from finances to relationships to our future—actually traces back to humanity's original sin in the Garden of Eden. Through the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and the examples of Daniel and Joseph, you can expect to learn how releasing control rather than grasping for it opens the door to true peace, purpose, and the abundant life God intends for you. This exploration will challenge you to identify the specific areas where you're striving for control and invite you to trust God's loving hands instead.Passages in this message:Ecclesiastes 9:1-10Philippians 2:6-8Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Where Am I Going? | Brian Blum

    What if the things you're working hardest to build—your career, your family's success, your influence—can't actually give you the lasting legacy you're searching for? You'll discover why work, family, and even political power ultimately fail as foundations for a meaningful legacy, and learn about the one anchor that can never be taken away from you. Through the lens of Ecclesiastes 4, you can expect to examine where your identity is truly rooted and be challenged to pass on what actually matters to the next generation. This exploration will help you find peace in surrendering your need to make a name for yourself and instead build your life on the only name that lasts forever.Passages in this message:Ecclesiastes 4:4-16Ecclesiastes 3:11Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Limitations of Life | David Doerner

    What if your biggest obstacle in life isn't the limit you're facing, but the wisdom needed to understand how you're supposed to respond to it? You'll discover why some limits are meant to be received and submitted to rather than overcome, and how accepting God-given limitations might actually unlock the freedom you've been searching for. Through honest reflection on the frustrations of time, energy, career, finances, and physical capacity, you can expect to find hope in knowing that an unlimited God became limited in humanity to overcome the greatest limit we all face—sin and death.Passages in this message:Ecclesiastes 7:4-24Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Doing Time | David Doerner

    What if you could appreciate the season you're in right now before it's too late? You'll discover why chasing after individual pieces of life—whether relationships, careers, or achievements—leaves us feeling empty, and how God invites us into a bigger story that brings true meaning and purpose. Through the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, you can expect to learn how releasing control and trusting God with each season transforms our pursuit from temporary satisfaction to eternal significance. You'll be challenged to consider what you're living for and whether it will last beyond this life.Passages in this message:Ecclesiastes 3:1-11Philippians 3:20Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Bursting the Bubble | Kyle Kotrch

    What if the secret to living a meaningful life isn't found in chasing success, pleasure, or achievement, but in how you view death? You'll discover how Solomon's pursuit of wisdom, wealth, and pleasure left him empty, and why changing your perspective on death can radically transform how you live today. Through the book of Ecclesiastes, you can expect to see how the world's promises of fulfillment fall short, and how Christ's victory over death offers the only true hope and purpose. You'll be challenged to stop chasing after worldly idols and instead pursue the One who conquered the grave.Passages in this message:Ecclesiastes 2:1-15Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Walk Humbly | David Doerner

    What happens when the life you're building feels out of reach, or when you realize you're not at the center of your own story anymore? You'll discover that biblical humility isn't about thinking less of yourself—it's about recognizing God's supremacy and stepping out of the driver's seat of your life. You can expect to be challenged by what it means to walk humbly in a culture that celebrates independence and self-made success, and you'll see how Jesus modeled the ultimate act of humility by laying down His life for others.Passages in this message:Micah 6:8Proverbs 11:2Deuteronomy 6:10-13Matthew 25:34-40Philippians 2:5-11Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Love Mercy | David Doerner

    Do you relate to God like a contract—where you do your part and expect Him to do His? You'll discover how God offers something far better than a transactional relationship: a covenant rooted in “Hesed”, His unfailing love and mercy. Through the story of Moses and the golden calf, you can expect to understand how God fulfills both sides of the covenant, offering justice and mercy simultaneously through Jesus. You'll be challenged to not just tolerate mercy, but to love it—both receiving it from God and extending it to others who've wronged you.Passages in this message:Micah 6:8Exodus 32:19, 31Exodus 34:1, 5-7, 101 Corinthians 11Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Do Justice | David Doerner

    What does true justice look like, and how can you live it out in a world full of injustice? You'll discover God's definition of justice through the story of Naboth and King Ahab, and learn why acting justly means more than just having the right opinions. You can expect to be challenged to close the distance between yourself and the vulnerable, and to embody the grace and mercy that Jesus showed on the cross. This will help you understand how to personally act justly in your everyday life, especially toward widows, orphans, immigrants, and the poor.Passages in this message:Micah 6:81 Kings 21:2-29James 1:27Isaiah 1:16Jeremiah 22:3James 2:14, 171 John 3:17Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Intro to Micah 6 | Brian Blum

    What's the difference between living a life focused on your rights versus your responsibilities before God? You'll discover how God defines the truly good life through three transformative responsibilities: doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with Him. Rather than approaching faith as a transaction where you earn God's favor, you can expect to understand how Jesus fulfilled both the law and the sacrificial system on your behalf, freeing you to live out these responsibilities not as obligations but as joyful expressions of being God's child.Passages in this message:Micah 6:6-8John 1:12Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

    Redeemed and Delivered | David Doerner

    What happens when the villain gets what they deserve, but nothing actually changes? Through the dramatic conclusion of Esther's story, you'll discover why justice alone can never bring salvation—and why the same evil that destroyed Haman lives in each of us.

Expect to understand how Jesus didn't just punish sin, but took your place, offering grace that rewrites your entire story.Passages in this message:Esther 7:3-6Romans 7:20Romans 6:23Esther 8:5Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids

You'll be encouraged to take the next faithful step of obedience while trusting that God is cultivating an eternal impact through your life.Passages in this message:Esther 5:9-14Esther 3:1Esther 6:1-51 Corinthians 13:12Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from Frontline!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:frontlinegr.com/nextVISIT US IN PERSON:Frontline Community Church4411 Plainfield Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MIYou can support the ministry happening at Frontline at frontlinegr.com/giving#frontlinegr #grandrapids
