Frontier Church

This week at Frontier Church we launched our Fall series: Live the Story, Tell the Story. Pastor Christian opened with Psalms 1 and 150—the bookends of the Psalms that capture the whole story of Scripture. Psalm 1 shows us the root: true fulfillment isn’t about luck, hustle, or circumstances—it comes from being planted in God’s Word and presence. Psalm 150 shows us the fruit: a life rooted in God...

Trust the Story: Jesus on the Road of Disappointment (Luke 24) On one of our hottest Sundays yet, Sue preached from Luke 24:13–35 (the road to Emmaus), asking: Where do you go when life doesn’t turn out how you hoped? Two discouraged disciples walk away from promise and community—yet the risen Jesus draws near, listens, opens the Scriptures, reveals Himself at the table, and sends them back with b...

The Altar Is Open: Part Two – When Worship Walks With You In this week’s message, we explore what happens when worship doesn’t stay at the altar but walks with you into the battles and decisions of life. From the story of Joshua and the walls of Jericho, we see that breakthrough doesn’t come through human effort or clever strategy, but through worship-filled obedience. Israel didn’t bring the wall...

The Altar Is Open — What Kind of Worshiper Will You Be? Before launching our new teaching series, we’re taking two weeks to focus on one of Frontier’s core foundations: worship. Whether you’ve been lifting your hands for years or you’ve never sung out loud in church, there’s more. In Exodus 33, God’s people had to decide: would they be content to watch from a distance, or would they step out, step...

In a culture obsessed with “becoming the best version of yourself,” the Apostle Paul offers a radically different vision of change. It’s not about trying harder or chasing self-fulfillment—it’s about being formed by prayer and sent on mission so others can encounter Jesus through your life. In this message, Pastor Christian Martinsen unpacks Colossians 4:2–6, exposing why we often stay spiritually...

Standing Powerful in a Powerless World Message by Community Pastor Tiffany Souers What do you do when you feel powerless—when circumstances spiral beyond your control, when people you love make painful choices, or when your prayers seem unanswered? In this deeply personal and hope-filled message, Tiffany shares the emotional journey of walking with her father through illness, grief, and ultimately...

SERIES: Live the Story, Tell the Story You’ve tried to change. You’ve read the books. You’ve made the promises. You’ve told yourself, “This time will be different.” But what if the reason you’re still stuck isn’t lack of effort—but isolation? In this message from Colossians 3, we explore why true transformation doesn’t happen in private—but in the context of gospel-formed community. You’ll discove...

We are being discipled every day—by screens, opinions, cultural narratives, and the quiet pressure to add something more to Jesus. But what if the real battle isn’t out there, but inside us? In this message from Colossians 2, Pastor Christian calls us back to the simplicity and power of the gospel: Christ is enough. No add-ons. No mascots. Just Jesus, reshaping our lives from the inside out. If yo...

In this week’s message, Pastor Christian shares reflections from his recent time in France — a yearly pilgrimage of silence, prayer, and mission that reminds us how deeply our souls need rest and restoration in God’s presence. Drawing from Luke 5, this message challenges us to follow the example of Jesus: to withdraw to quiet places so we can see people the way He does — the overlooked, the outcas...

What if rest wasn’t laziness—but holy resistance? This Sunday, we explored the ancient practice of Sabbath not as a break from life, but as the very way God intended us to live it. In a world running on anxiety and performance, Sabbath invites us to live differently—rooted, restored, and renewed.

Ceremonies of Becoming: How Sacred Rhythms Rewrite the Stories We Live By We often think our lives are shaped by our careers, personalities, or natural talents. But Scripture tells a deeper story: we are formed most profoundly by the narratives we believe—about ourselves, about God, and about the world. In this powerful message from Exodus 12:33–50, Phil Chan explores how God uses spiritual ceremo...

This past Sunday as we closed worship, we paused to reflect on the unrest unfolding in our city and nation—not with shallow answers, but pursuing deep spiritual clarity. Pastor Christian reminded us: “The issue will always be: Who is King?” We are not primarily divided by immigration policy or politics—but by competing kings and rival hopes. Amid chaos and conflict, the people cry out for leadersh...

On this Father’s Day, we welcomed SunAwh Park, Campus Director at YWAM Kona, to bring a timely and powerful message for our church and our city. With a heart for revival, discipleship, and the next generation, SunAwh carries a passion for seeing ordinary people live on mission—right where they are. In this message, he invites us to trust God more deeply, surrender more boldly, and live out the cal...

What if the deepest joy you’re looking for isn’t found in success, comfort, or control—but in being truly loved? In this message, Pastor [Your Name] unpacks Jesus’ final prayer in John 17—a moment where He records not information, but formation for His disciples. Just like a father making videos for his kids before he dies, Jesus speaks over His followers and reveals three core "rules for life": B...

What if the thing standing between you and your purpose… is your comfort? In this message, The Call That Disrupts Everything, Pastor Christian Martinsen walks through the moment Jesus first calls His disciples in Mark 1:14–20 — a passage where a few fishermen drop everything at the sound of one voice. Jesus doesn’t wait for them to be ready. He interrupts. He reorders. He remakes. This isn’t a sto...

Message Title: Sent But Secure | Luke 10:1–22 Series: Disruptive Discipleship What if the greatest joy in life isn’t what you do for God—but knowing you’re already His? In this message, we explore Luke 10, where Jesus sends out 72 ordinary disciples into a world that’s hungry, hostile, and ready. You’ll discover why the harvest is plentiful, why revival begins with obedience, and how true disciple...

Have you ever looked at something in your life and thought, “It’s too far gone”? A broken relationship. A dream that died. A heart that feels numb. This Sunday, we are excited to have Kathy Martinsen, Christian's wonderful mom, bring the message from Ezekiel 37—the powerful vision of dry bones coming to life. In a valley of death and disappointment, God asks a question that still echoes today: “Ca...

(Rom 12:1-8, Part 2) This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring more than just the role of a mother—we’re honoring the Spirit-formed lives that shaped us. Some of us learned to pray by watching our moms whisper blessings in the quiet. Others were taught Scripture at the dinner table, or watched a spiritual mentor serve faithfully behind the scenes. These daily practices—prayer, Scripture, and spiritual gif...

Every one of us is being shaped—by our habits, our screens, our culture, and our desires. This Sunday, we’re diving into a powerful and practical message from Romans 12:1–8 called: “Conformed or Transformed? The Worship War In You.” We’ll explore the hidden forces that are forming our minds and lives—often without us realizing it—and what it looks like to live as a living sacrifice in a world of d...

We live in a culture of convenience, distraction, and comfort. Everything is designed to minimize commitment—ghosting is normal, and long-term sacrifice feels optional. When it comes to following Jesus, we tend to want a version that fits around our schedules, not one that interrupts our lives. So the culture is louder than ever—shaping how we think, what we value, and even who we believe we are....

In this Easter message, Christian delves into the profound implications of the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing its central role in transforming lives and restoring purpose. The resurrection is presented not just as a historical event but as a transformative truth that evokes deep personal encounters with God, enabling believers to find hope amidst suffering and brokenness. The message draws par...

In this message, Christian explores the complexities of faith, discipleship, and the importance of genuine connection with God. He encourages us to engage deeply with the Scriptures and to be open to the challenging words of Jesus, as presented in the Gospel of John. We reflect on the nature of worship and the significance of sacrifice, highlighting that true discipleship is about more than mere b...

We often think we know and embrace who Jesus is, but then we are confronted with suffering we aren't ok with. The very minute the Peter understands who Jesus is, Jesus tells him what He is going to do to overcome the evils of our broken world and rescue humanity from itself, “I’m going to have to suffer, I’m going to have to be rejected, I’m going to have to die.” - Satan had already issued to Jes...

Disruptive Discipleship in a Secular Age Christian officially begins our "Disruptive Discipleship in a Secular Age" series that we have been introducing over the past weeks. We'll be focusing on what discipleship to Jesus looks like in our current secular moment of our culture, and rediscovering the practices of our faith that can flourish in a new world. WHAT IS DISCIPLESHIP IN OUR MOMENT? Discip...

Phil Chan is sharing a significant message on Fasting: Discipling our Desires… What we desire shapes who we become. If we don’t disciple our desires, our desires will disciple us. In this message, we explore the underutilized practice of fasting and how it is actually God’s chosen tool for helping to shape our desires in world where everything is gnawing to shape it. Pastor Phil breaks down the wh...
