Saul's failure make clear: partial obedience is wholly disobedient and rightly deserves the Lord's rejection. Even so, full obedience relies more upon what God has done for you than what you can do for God. The Rev. Creighton Friedrich, 10 October 2021

When we as God’s people put our self-interest first, we’re not securing what we desire – we’re really rejecting the LORD. But we ought not to miss God’s wild generosity to a completely undeserving people.

Creighton Friedrich, 15 August 2021

The Rev. Creighton Friedrich, 25 July 2021.

Creighton Friedrich, 11 July 2021.

What does the Ascension mean? Jesus our Saviour reigns far above everything else, Jesus reigns forever, and Jesus' reign fills the church. The Rev. Creighton Friedrich, 4 July 2021

At the centre of the Christian faith is the good news that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead; therefore, Gospel proclamation is resurrection proclamation. The Apostle Paul wants Christians to know that the Resurrection of Jesus is trustworthy, indispensable, and our final hope. The Rev. Creighton Friedrich, 27 June 2021
