Each week on the Frontline podcast, you’ll hear teaching from lead pastor David Doerner, or one of our other pastors on staff and get engaging biblical and practical teaching that helps you know and become more like Jesus. Visit us at frontlinegr.com or in person on Sundays in Grand Rapids, MI.
Where in your life do you find yourself torn between the person God says you are and the version of yourself shaped by fear, pressure, or the need to prove your worth? In this sermon, Pastor David explores the tension between two competing identities inside every believer: the “fleshly/parking lot” self driven by human concerns, and the Spirit-formed self rooted in God’s truth about us. Through the story of Peter in Matthew 16, you’ll discover how Jesus both names Peter a “rock” and lovingly confronts the parts of him that resist God’s plan, revealing how our standing with God is a gift received through grace—not something we earn or perform. Expect an honest look at why our old self must die, how to embrace your God-given identity, and the crucial role of prayer and community in helping you live out who God has called you to be.

Find Freedom | David Doerner
Have you ever felt defined by your worst moments, wondering if your failures and regrets put you beyond God’s grace? In this sermon, you’ll journey with Peter from his denial of Jesus to his powerful restoration, discovering how shame, fear, and regret can imprison us, but also how Jesus meets us in our brokenness with forgiveness and new purpose. Through real-life stories, honest reflection, and the example of Peter, you’ll see that God does not define us by our failures but by what Christ accomplished on the cross. The message challenges you to move beyond mere attendance and take courageous steps into true discipleship by bringing your struggles and regrets into trusted community, receiving Christ’s freedom, and living out your faith boldly. Expect encouragement, practical application, and a reminder that every sinner—no matter their past—has a future in Jesus.

Know God | David Doerner
How well do you really know God—by reputation, by fact, or by intimate relationship? You'll explore the layered meanings behind the Greek word for "know," tracing Peter's journey from a fisherman called out of obedience to a man who walked in deep, personal knowledge of Jesus. Along the way, you can expect to see how obedience, not just information, is the pathway to a fuller, more intimate relationship with God. This exploration also connects the call to follow Jesus with the step of baptism as an act of obedience and new life.
