Trinity Fremont

At Trinity, we learn who we are in Jesus so that His love flows through us. This week we focus on Love, because God loved us first, we are called to love others, forgive freely, and serve with joy. In 1 John 4, we hear that God’s love was made visible in Jesus. Now that love shines through us to our families, our church, our school, and our community.

 

• Leviticus 19:9-18
• 1 John 4:7-12
• John 13:1-15, 34-35

Series: Learn. Love. Lead.

Title: Learn.

 

Trinity’s mission is clear: Learn. Love. Lead. Equipped to Reflect the Light of Jesus. It starts with the foundation - Learn. Before we can love or lead, we need to know who we are. In 2 Timothy 3, God’s Word is described as breathed out by Him, making us wise for salvation and equipping us for every good work. At Trinity, we learn by worshiping and praying in community, by studying God’s Word together, and by living out His will for our lives.

This is our identity: we are children of God, loved and known by Jesus.

• Deuteronomy 6:4-9
• 2 Timothy 3:14-17
• Luke 10:38-42

The powerful truth that Jesus is our Living Hope—a hope made alive through His resurrection. Because He lives, we are not only forgiven by mercy but welcomed into a lasting inheritance that can never fade.

• Lamentations 3:19-24
• I Peter 1:3-9
• John 14:1-7

He who was rich became poor for our sake. By Christ’s poverty we have become rich – rich in God’s grace.  God gives.  He gave his Son’s life.  We receive – receive this gift of grace, undeserved forgiveness. We respond.  What does that response look like for you – response to this inexpressible gift of grace?  Are you a cheerful giver or a reluctant giver – giver of gifts that are not even ours?

• Exodus 16:9-15
• 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
• John 6:30-35

 

Preaching

 

In worship, God gives His living Word, read and preached. He speaks to form us, not just inform us. From 2 Timothy 3:16–4:2 we see Scripture as God-breathed and preaching commanded. Isaiah 55 promises His Word won’t return empty. Luke 24 centers it all on Christ crucified and risen. This message invites us to listen actively, take one simple step of obedience, and share what Jesus has done in us.

 

• Isaiah 55:6-11
• 2 Timothy 3:16-4:2
• Luke 24:44-49

Prayer isn’t just something we do for God. It’s a gift God gives to us. In this message, we explore how prayer fits into the rhythm of worship, not as a private ritual, but as a shared response to God’s generosity. The early church was devoted to prayer. Jesus prays for us. The Spirit intercedes on our behalf. And now, we’re invited to join in, together.  

 

• Acts 2:42-47
• Philippians 4:4–7
• Matthew 6:5–15

What language does God speak to you  through music?  Hymns?  The Lutheran Service Book’s liturgies?  Contemporary songs?  

In them all, God is inviting us to “enjoy him.”  

C.S. Lewis said, “In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.” Yes, enjoy Him through by making a joyful noise to the Rock of our Salvation.  That’s Jesus.  Worthy to be praised.  

“For the LORD is a great King above all gods.  In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also:  The sea is His, for He made it, and his hands formed the the dry land.  Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!  (Psalm 95)

• Psalm 95:1-7a
• Colossians 3:15-17
• Luke 19:28-40

Worship.  What does that mean exactly?  What IS worship?  Is worship about me or about God or both?  Most people would treat worship as praising God with affection and giving him the glory.  BUT worship is so much more.  Although those things can be part of worship, the CHIEF PART of worship is the LORD Jesus giving -  giving gifts.  Gifts like mercy, kindness, love, blood, forgiveness, promises, smiles and kingdom and His Spirit.

• Psalm 36:7-9
• 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
• Matthew 15:1-9

In this second chapter of our “If God Is For Us” series, we tackle Paul’s big question: “Who can separate us from the love of Christ?” We’ll explore how even good gifts—health, family, finances—can become barriers when we trust them more than the Giver. From Genesis to Malachi to Jesus Himself, we’ll see how God warns us against serving money and idols.

But this isn’t just about what trips us up—it’s about the ultimate solution. We’ll unpack the promise that Christ’s death and resurrection cover every misplaced trust. And we’ll finish with a practical challenge: when fear or scarcity tempts you to cling, pause and declare, “Nothing can separate me from Your love,” then step out in a small act of generosity. Tune in and be reminded: God’s love is unbreakable—and it calls us to live freely, boldly, and generously.

 

• Genesis 18:1–10a
• Romans 8:31-39
• Luke 10:38–42

We’ve all heard the words: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” But what happens when it doesn’t feel that way? When life is heavy, shame lingers, and doubt creeps in?

In this first part of our two-week series, we trace the sweeping story of Romans 1–8, through guilt, grace, struggle, and hope, so that we can hear Paul’s bold question the way he meant it. This isn’t a cliché. It’s a promise. And the cross and empty tomb is the proof.

God is for you. And that changes everything.
