Hope is the confident expectation that God will keep His promises, even in dark and uncertain times.

Pastor Scott introduces a four-week Advent series showcasing God as a "holy intruder" who breaks into our reality to bring hope, peace, joy, and love. Today he focuses on hope, emphasizing that true hope requires perseverance through the gap between our present reality and God's promised reality.

Gratitude is not just good manners—it's a spiritual discipline for Christ followers.

Pastor Caleb challenges the cultural expectation of responding with outrage and frustration by highlighting how gratitude shifts our perspective to see what God has already done. Through biblical examples of David, Job, and Paul & Silas, he demonstrates that gratitude functions as a weapon during trials, not just a response after blessings.

Everyone gets a seat at God's table.

Pastor Caleb Thomas explores how God's first interaction with humanity was an invitation to belong at His table. This pattern of God providing, humans receiving, and relationships forming continues throughout Scripture and into Jesus's ministry where He regularly ate with outcasts and sinners.

The call for believers is not just to attend church on Sundays but to be the church by creating spaces of belonging wherever we have influence, helping others feel like they belong before they even believe.

"Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." - John 13:35

Pastor Caleb Thomas explores how heaven's culture transforms God's house into a home through diversity, sacrificial love, and unity. He illustrates how God designed His church with intentional diversity—different languages, backgrounds, and expressions—unified by Holy Spirit and one mission: to share the gospel.

Heaven's culture changes everything it touches when we partner with God to bring His kingdom to earth.

We have to keep from rebuilding the wall that Jesus gave his life to tear down.

Pastor Scott explores God's vision for His church and the struggle to create such unity among people. This diversity isn't just about demographics; it's welcoming the hurting, confused, marginalized, and broken. When the church embraces radical hospitality and looks for the overlooked, it becomes a living sermon that proves Jesus breaks down barriers and establishes a new family where everybody can belong.

You need diversity to have unity.

Pastor Scott unpacks how Free Life Chapel's demographic diversity mirrors God's design for His church, but diversity without unity creates chaos. While salvation is personal, it gives us responsibilities in the church.

It’s time to rethink our “me” mentality.

Even when God is silent, He hasn't left you.

Pastor Scott Thomas shares true stories and personal experiences to discuss the reality of life's challenges and the moments God seems to be nowhere. Even when silence is deafening and prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling, God is right beside us, guarding and strengthening us through wilderness seasons that build our faith and trust in Him.

Imagine What God Can Do...

Pastor Scott is joined by Pastor Freddy, Flavio, Dash, Pastor Caleb, Josiah, and Pastor George as he talks about the impact of Free Life Chapel. Inspiring stories of people discovering their faith through ministries like Next Gen and Community Outreach are shared to emphasize God's work in the house.

We're not meant to GET but to GIVE.

Pastor Scott challenges believers to move beyond transactional giving to relational generosity that flows from the heart. Generosity isn't an optional upgrade for advanced Christians; it's the baseline standard for every believer because our spiritual life started with God's radical generosity. The challenge is to let God have full range of motion in our lives, including our finances, so we can become pipelines of His blessing.

Generosity is a decision; reward is the result.

Pastor Scott challenges our approach to finding refreshment in life by revealing a biblical principle we overlook. Using stories of Abraham and the widow of Zarephath, he reveals the generosity to others, not seeking selfish ambitions, refreshes our souls. Whatever we give comes back to us.
