This sermon was recorded on Sunday, Nov. 23 at Faith Center Foursquare Church.

Pastor Jared Ballenger visited Faith Center on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025 for a "Rescue Sunday," where he educated our church family on how we can partner with the organization Destiny Rescue to rescue children from exploitation and trafficking. When the Church rises up, kids find freedom. Jared gives a sermon on how freedom affects our day to day lives AND how God using the freedom we find in Him to rescue others completely transforms the lives of kids who never had hope of being free around the globe.

In this sermon recoreded on Oct. 26, 2025, Pastor Joe Parks unpacks Felix's experience with the danger of delay in Acts 24, and how it applies to us today. How often do we say, “I’ll do it later”?

Joe talks us through the real causes behind procrastination and Scripture-based moves that we can make to take us from delay to action, and from excuses to purpose.

This sermon was recorded on Sunday, October 19, 2025. In this message, Pastor Cathleen Parks unpacks Jesus's use of the word tharsei, which means to "be encouraged, take heart, or be of good cheer."

That same encouragement still speaks to us today. When we feel ineffective, unseen, or like it’s over, Jesus reminds us that our story isn’t finished. He’s still beside us, still working, and still leading us toward what’s ahead.

This message was recorded on Sunday, October 12, 2025. Pastor Joe Parks draws wisdom from Acts 21:1-15 to explore what Paul's journey to Jerusalem can teach us about hearing God's voice. He still speaks to us today—we need to learn to hear and trust His Spirit leading us, even if it's through hardship. He always uses it and has a plan!

What does it really mean to finish well in your walk with Jesus?
In this message, Pastor Joe Parks talks about what we learn from Acts 20. He explores what it takes to keep going when it’s hard, to stay humble when it’s easy to drift, and to hold nothing back when following Jesus costs something.

No matter where you are in your faith journey—at the starting line or feeling like you’re out of breath—God calls us to keep running with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the One who ran the race before us.

This sermon was recorded on Sunday, September 28, 2025. Pastor Cathleen preaches about how true faith isn’t just about repentance, although that is VERY important—it’s about transformation. In Ephesus, Paul preached Jesus, and the Holy Spirit moved in power. People were healed, set free, and burned anything that tied them to darkness.

Key quote: "The spiritual realm is real, but Jesus reigns, y'all."

It’s time to cut ties with what holds you back.

Repent. Believe. Be transformed by God.
