LIVE THE STORY, TELL THE STORY: Revival that looks like Justice, Isaiah 58:1-12

Real revival doesn’t start with louder worship—it starts with honest repentance.In Revival That Looks Like Justice, Pastor Christian Martinsen continues our Live the Story, Tell the Story missional series with Isaiah 58—God’s piercing confrontation of hypocrisy and hollow religion. His people were fasting, praying, and performing devotion, yet ignoring the very people He cared about.Isaiah’s trumpet still sounds today: faith that never costs us anything for the sake of others isn’t faith at all.This message invites us into a different kind of fast—a Fast of Presence—where grace turns outward into justice, and revival looks like setting others free.Before chasing emotional revival, God calls us to heart-level renewal:to stop performing faith and start practicing mercy,to stop hiding from our own flesh and start moving toward need in love.Let Isaiah 58 hold up the mirror.Let grace expose the gap between what we say and what we live—and let the Spirit fill it.

“Faith, Evidence, and the End of Tribalism” — Michael Murray, Ph.D.

Oxford theologian and Frontier’s teaching partner Michael Murray brings a brilliant and timely message from Judges 3 that blends faith, history, and archaeology.Drawing on his years of biblical scholarship and research at Oxford University, Michael traces the evidence for the Exodus—from ancient Egyptian inscriptions to the Amarna Letters—and shows how it all points to the trustworthiness of Scripture and the faithfulness of God.But this isn’t just an academic lecture. It’s a powerful reflection on how tribalism—in ancient Israel and in our modern world—tears us apart, and how Jesus, the true King, still unites what division destroys.If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, history, or the credibility of faith, this message will deepen your trust in the Bible and stir fresh awe for the God who holds both truth and love together.Watch now and rediscover the beauty, evidence, and hope of the gospel.

THE STORY THAT SPEAKS: Fearless & Kind Witness in a Skeptical World (1 Peter 3:13–18)

Faith can feel costly right now—but curiosity is rising. From 1 Peter 3, we explore how followers of Jesus turn pressure into a platform:do good anyway, be ready to share your hope, and draw strength from Jesus’ story.This message is part of our fall series “Tell the Story, Live the Story,” built around six practices: Rooted • Your Story • Scripture • Hospitality • Justice • Sent.This week’s practices:1) Goodness as Witness — Respond with visible kindness where it costs you.2) Your 60-Second Hope Story — Practice sharing what Jesus has done in you.3) Strength from His Story — Pray daily: “Jesus, I live in Your story. Suffering, then glory.”Scripture: 1 Peter 3:13–18Watch more + resources: frontierchurch.us (Current Series)Podcast: Frontier Church Pasadena (Apple & Spotify)If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and tell us your “hope story” in the comments.
