As humans, we can be pretty simple creatures. If we see something that makes sense to our brains, or someone at least sounds like they know what they're talking about, we follow it and call it wisdom. God, however, does things differently. He chooses the foolish things of the world to show how wise He really is.Unfortunately, our "wisdom" often leads to elevating our preferences. "I like this person/worship/style, etc." What results is a fractured Church when the call of Christ is to be One a...
How exactly am I supposed to live this Christian life? What if there are people I disagree with? How do I know what rules to follow?Life can be full of questions like these, and thankfully, the apostle Paul addresses some of these specific questions. He does so, however, in a principled way that keeps us from getting buried in the weeds of minute "dos" and "don'ts." That's just part of what the incredible book of 1 Corinthians offers for us today.
Welcome to Freedom Fellowship Church!Baptism stands as a line of demarcation stating that our old life is dead and buried, and we are now living a new kind of life with and in Christ. It's a wonderful moment of celebration for anyone who has made the decision to follow Jesus, and we are thrilled that you're celebrating with us today!
Welcome to Easter!Today we celebrate the day when Jesus, our Savior, rose from the dead. This miraculous event was the moment victory over the curse of sin and death was won for us. Jesus, our Champion King, not only died for the payment of our sins, but He also ensured that we would one day live with Him forever, and that eternal, victorious life can begin today.
Welcome to Friendship Sunday 2024!Every year we make a big deal celebrating the kind of community that can only be had in the family of God. Jesus said that the world will know we are His disciples by the way we love one another. There is no better way to show the power of God is real, alive, and active today than by our fellowship with each other. It is one of the best gifts that we have because of Jesus' death on the cross and victory over the grave. That's why we kick off Easter each year ...
The Good Samaritan. Many are familiar with this story, or at least its essence. Kind stranger helps needy stranger. Roll credits. But not so fast!Maybe that's what's happening on the surface, but if all you take from this story is that we should be kind to others, you're missing out on a trove of implications and revelations that can only be uncovered when you commit to the text. So let's try this again, shall we?In the story of the Good Samaritan, we are presented with a host of characters t...
Priests represent God to the people and the people unto God. There was both a privilege the priests enjoyed as well as a responsibility. It's the same for us today. While we have the amazing treasure of God's Presence in this fragile, earthly body, we also have a responsibility to maintain our "temple" and to bring others to God. It's an amazing dynamic that can only be experienced when we willfully submit every part of our daily lives to Jesus, allowing Him to transform us into the priest He...
Making disciples was the last charge Jesus gave us before He went back to Heaven, and it should be the primary concern of all Christians. Every person on Earth deserves to know and experience the love of Jesus. Over the years, disciple making for many churches has morphed into programs, books, and a set of "dos and don'ts." Those aren't necessarily bad. They were just never meant to be the starting point.Jesus offered us a different way, and it seems simultaneously simple yet counterintuitive...
When you stop and think about it, contentment can be hard to define and even harder to identify. After all, the wise among us would tell you that contentment can be a moving target as we grow older and the seasons of our life change. Life is a journey of ups and downs and everywhere in between. Being content no matter our circumstances can feel much easier said than done at times.The apostle, Paul, says he learned "the secret" to being content whether he had much or little (Philippians 4:11)....
Money can be massively divisive topic. It is one of the top contributors to divorce, as a matter of fact. It's no less potent when discussed within the church. The Bible has a tremendous amount to say about the topic of money, however. While it may not be the most important aspect of our faith, it does certainly hold a significant amount of weight to our lives and our relationship with God.
Few topics in the church today come with as much baggage and disagreement as worship.Man, that church had great worship! I didn't care for that song. Their singer can't carry a tune in a bucket. Churches should only sing hymns. Everything is worship! The list of comments goes on.Worship, like prayer and knowing God, is a core component of our relationship with Christ. It's what we were created to do. Over our history, it has evolved into what we most commonly see which is praise and singing. ...
Prayer can mean many different things to many people. Sure there are some common similarities, but the purpose, form, and object of prayer can vary significantly. Prayer to the Christian, however, is one of the most essential building blocks of our faith and relationship with Jesus Christ. Without it, we have lost sight of everything.Prayer is a multi-layer aspect of our faith. It connects us to God, it's a way to care for others, and it has the power to change the world around us. Yet so man...
Why is Christianity different from all the religions in the world? On its surface, there are a remarkable number of similarities, but there is one key difference. We serve and worship a God who can be known. The God of the Bible is One who created us to not be merely His subjects but also His friends. This fact has tremendous impact throughout our entire lives.When life gets chaotic, we have to have that consistent anchor, that true north to guide us. Otherwise we'll be tossed around by every...
Have you ever said something and wished you could take it back? It's as impossible as putting toothpaste back into the tube from which it came. Unfortunately, an uncontrolled tongue is a great deal messier. It usually causes much more damage too.That's one of the many reasons the apostle, James, writes about controlling the tongue immediately after commanding and encouraging us to be "doers of the Word and not just hearers only (James 1:22)." Because it's such a small thing, our words often g...
