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
What if the only way to truly start living is by facing your own death? You'll discover how acknowledging life's end can actually unlock the purpose, meaning, and joy you've been searching for.

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?

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

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
