One of the hardest things to do in this life is to not get offended and jaded towards God. When God "could have" or "should have" and he didn't. Stack up too many of those in a row, and it's easy to allow cynicism to run free in our lives. WHAT IS AT STAKE IS OUR FAITH, and it's time to blow the top off your "God box."

After battling addictions with no success and being sentenced to prison, Austin had hit rock bottom and was absolutely hopeless in life. Then he met Jesus....here is his story.

Keep Open House....By opening up to others, you'll prompt others to open up with God.

Building relationships is not optional as a follower of Jesus. However relationships are time consuming, hard, and messy, so we often shy away. You are wired for COMMUNITY and this is how to take that next step of faith in building friendships.

So often we SAY that God "can" and "wants" to use me. However when it comes down to it in the moment, we struggle with believing it. Today let's proclaim loudly: "GOD WANTS TO USE ME!" No questions marks, "God wants to use me???", but rather all exclamation points: "God wants to use me!!!"

Jesus told his followers to GO and to BE A LIGHT to our world. As Freedom celebrates it's 5th Birthday we celebrate all that God has done and look ahead towards what God is calling His church to in 2023. We invite you to take a look and answer: "What Do You See?"

We all face temptations when we are WOUNDED. But with Jesus we can overcome them and move forward with our next steps of faith.

When God speaks, it's typically a gentle non-audible voice. Sort of like a "whisper" to our soul. But the impact of these "whispers" from God are anything but small. They are the DEFINING MOMENTS that change our very lives and bring hope to the people around us.

'Tis the Season...but for what???...Tis the season is a common phrase, but with so many things going on this time of year it's easy to lose sight of the REASON for the season.
