What has been running through your family?

In Part 2 of The Family Group Chat, Pastor Robe Pierre walks through the story of Abraham and the generations that followed him to reveal a powerful truth: families can pass down both blessings and broken patterns.

Abraham received an incredible promise from God—God would bless him, make his name great, and use his life to bless generations. But in the very same chapter, Abraham also introduced a pattern of fear, lying, and deception that would eventually show up in his son Isaac and later in his grandson Jacob.

Different generation. Different situation. Same pattern.

What begins as something small can eventually become normal. And when dysfunction goes unchallenged long enough, it can stop looking like one person's issue and start becoming the culture of an entire family.

But your family's story doesn't have to end with what went wrong.
In this message, you'll discover:

• Why you have to beware of what you normalize
• How small compromises can become generational patterns
• Why understanding where dysfunction came from doesn't mean you have to continue it
• How patterns can become cycles that affect generations
• Why you must identify what needs to stop with you
• How faith, forgiveness, freedom, and integrity can become generational patterns too
• Why God doesn't just want you to break curses—He wants you to build blessings

If dysfunction can travel, faith can travel.
If bitterness can travel, forgiveness can travel.
If addiction can travel, freedom can travel.
If brokenness can become a pattern, blessing can become a pattern too.

Everything that runs in your family doesn't need to be broken. Some things need to be built on.

God told Abraham, “I will bless you... and you will be a blessing.” What God places on your life isn't supposed to stop with you. A generational blessing is something God begins in one generation that produces fruit in the generations that follow.

Maybe God saved you because somebody in your family had to be first.

The first to pray.
The first to forgive.
The first to get healthy.
The first to break the pattern.
The first to bring Jesus into the family.

We've spent enough time talking about what runs in the family.
Maybe it's time for JESUS to run in the family.

THE FAMILY GROUP CHAT | Pastor Robe Pierre | Freedom City Church

What do you do when it feels like God didn’t show up when your family needed Him most?

In The Family Group Chat, Pastor Robe Pierre walks through the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in John 11—a family who loved Jesus, followed Jesus, and believed in His power, yet still experienced sickness, disappointment, grief, and loss. Lazarus dies, but what looks like Jesus arriving too late becomes the setting for something far greater than the family expected.

Mary and Martha wanted a healing. Jesus was thinking about a resurrection.

This message reminds us that God’s silence is never God’s absence. Just because you cannot see Him moving does not mean He isn't working. Sometimes God is doing something much bigger than what you can perceive in the moment.

But the miracle wasn't only about Lazarus.

Jesus was also thinking about everyone standing around the tomb who still didn't believe. The resurrection of Lazarus became an opportunity for people outside the family of faith to witness the glory of God.

In this message, you'll discover:

• Why God’s silence does not mean God’s absence
• How God can be working even when you cannot perceive it
• Why Jesus is always thinking about who is missing from the family
• How God can use your pain, process, and testimony to reach someone else
• Why your story has Kingdom purpose
• What Lazarus’ resurrection teaches us about reaching people who don't yet believe
• How your testimony can help expand the family

Your story isn't just about what God brought you through. Your story may become the evidence someone else needs to believe.

There comes a point in our walk with God where the question shifts from “What can God do for me?” to “How can God use me?”

This is our season to tell the story.

This is our season to share what God has done.

It’s time to expand the family group chat.

What happens when you stop depending on yourself and go all in with God?

In Part 3 of ALL IN, Pastor Robe Pierre teaches from Ezra 8:21–23, where Ezra refuses to move forward on the journey to Jerusalem without first seeking God through prayer and fasting. Ezra understood that what was ahead of him was too important to face without God.

Prayer is more than a spiritual routine. Prayer says, “God, I need You.” It brings us to the end of our own ability and teaches us to depend completely on God. There are decisions we cannot figure out, doors we cannot open, habits we cannot break, and burdens we were never meant to carry alone. Prayer is where ability ends and dependence begins.

But Ezra didn't only pray—he fasted.

Prayer says, “God, I need You.” Fasting says, “God, I want You.” Fasting teaches our appetites that they are allowed to speak, but they are not allowed to lead. When we fast, we intentionally deny one appetite to feed another and declare that God's presence matters more than our comfort, pleasure, routines, or personal satisfaction.

In this message, you'll discover:
• Why prayer is an admission of our dependence on God
• What it means for prayer to truly become our lifeline
• The difference between needing God and wanting God
• How fasting strengthens self-control and puts our appetites back in their proper place
• Why private dependence should match our public declaration
• How prayer and fasting deepen our connection with God
• What could be waiting on the other side of intentionally seeking God

Ezra and the people had a need. They prayed. They desired God. They fasted. And God answered.

What could be on the other side of a church spending 21 days saying:

“God, we need You, and God, we want You”?

What does it really mean to be ALL IN with God?

In Part 2 of ALL IN, Pastor Robe Pierre walks through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3 and challenges us to develop a faith that refuses to bow—even when following God leads us directly into the fire.

Their confidence wasn’t simply that God would rescue them. Their faith was strong enough to declare that even if He didn’t, they still wouldn’t bow. Their worship wasn’t dependent on the hand of God and what He could do for them—it was rooted in the face of God and who He is.

In this message, you'll discover:
• Why being ALL IN requires standards before pressure comes
• How to stand in conviction without condemning others
• Why culture can play the music but doesn’t determine your posture
• How the fire reveals God’s protection over your life
• Why some fires destroy what has been binding you
• How your present circumstances don’t determine your future
• What it means to have an “even if He doesn’t” kind of faith

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went into the furnace bound, but they walked around in the fire unbound and unharmed. What was meant to destroy them destroyed what was binding them.

The fire revealed their standards.
The fire revealed their protection.
And the fire revealed their future.

You may be in the fire right now, but you can’t judge your future by the temperature of your present. Their story ended with promotion, but they could only reach verse 30 because they were willing to stand in verse 18.

If He heals me, I’m ALL IN.
If He doesn’t, I’m ALL IN.
If the door opens, I’m ALL IN.
If the door closes, I’m ALL IN.
If He keeps me from the fire, I’m ALL IN.
If He meets me in the middle of it, I’M ALL IN.

What does it look like to be ALL IN with God?

In 1 Kings 18, Elijah confronts the people of Israel with a question: “How long will you go limping between two different opinions?” Israel believed in God, but their loyalty was divided. They wanted God while still holding onto Baal. They had one foot in and one foot out.

In ALL IN, we confront the areas of our lives where we’ve allowed compromise, culture, fear, control, or the influence of others to compete with our commitment to God. Because God never created us to limp between two directions. He created us to be planted.

Sometimes we limp because it was modeled for us. Sometimes standing for God feels lonely. And sometimes we compromise because we want control over the outcome. But just because dysfunction was handed to you doesn’t mean you have to continue it, and being outnumbered doesn’t mean you’re alone. When God chooses you, He equips you.
Eventually, everything we put in God’s place will reveal that it cannot be God. The relationship can’t give you identity. Money can’t give you security. A person can’t give you peace. An addiction can’t heal your pain. Approval can’t establish your worth. And compromise can’t fulfill your calling.
The goal isn’t to limp. The goal is to be planted.

This message is a call to stop wavering, stop living with divided loyalties, trust God completely, and make a decision to follow Him with your whole life.

You don’t have to leave the way you came. You can come divided and leave decided. You can come limping and leave knowing exactly who your God is.

What if the biggest giant in your life isn’t the one in front of you—but the one inside of you?

In Part 2 of Enough Is Enough, we look at the life of David in 2 Samuel 11. David had defeated Goliath, conquered armies, united Israel, and become a powerful king. From the outside, he was winning. But internally, there were still giants that needed to be defeated.

Sometimes everything can look successful on the outside while your mind, character, purity, peace, or confidence is falling apart on the inside. God doesn’t only want to give us victory over the giants around us—He wants to give us the strength and strategy to confront the giants within us.

Through David’s story, this message challenges us to tend to our responsibilities, take accountability, and try again.David’s greatest failure did not have to become the end of his story. When confronted, he acknowledged his sin, took responsibility, and allowed God to continue working through his life.

You cannot defeat what you refuse to acknowledge. Accountability has the power to break cycles, expose the places that need healing, and help us become who God has called us to be.

Your failure doesn’t have to be where your story ends.

Tend to what God has entrusted to you. Take accountability for what needs to change. And when you fall—try again.

What happens when you've had enough?

In this powerful message, Stephan Fequiere walks through the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 to remind us that there comes a moment when faith has to rise up and declare, "Enough is enough."

The Israelites were already living in the Promised Land, yet they were still under attack. Their giant wasn't proof that God had abandoned them—it was confirmation that they were walking in God's purpose. The same is true for us today. Every time God begins to move in your life, opposition often follows. 

Whether you're battling fear, anxiety, sickness, brokenness, addiction, generational cycles, or spiritual opposition, this message will encourage you to stop seeing yourself through your circumstances and start seeing yourself through the lens of God's promises.

In this message, you'll discover:

Why opposition often confirms God's purpose over your life
How David refused to let his position determine his perspective
Why faith is willing to go first when everyone else stays frozen
How generational strongholds can end with you
Why defeating the giant isn't enough—you have to cut off its head
What it looks like to walk in the authority God has given you

Your title doesn't qualify you. Your past doesn't define you. Your limitations don't determine your future.

God is looking for someone with the faith to stand up and declare that the enemy has had authority for long enough.

Today is the day you stop tolerating what Jesus died to free you from.

Enough is enough.

What does it mean to become the woman God created you to be?

In this powerful Freedom Girls message, Meima Pierre unpacks Ephesians 2:10 through the story of Rahab and reminds every woman that God is not looking for perfection—He is inviting you into the journey of becoming.

Rahab’s story began with shame, labels, and a broken past. But God saw something different. While everyone else defined her by where she had been, God was already preparing who she would become.
This message is for every woman who has ever questioned her worth, doubted her calling, or wondered if God could still use her.

In this message, you’ll discover:
• What it truly means to be God’s handiwork
• Why your identity is found in your Creator—not your past
• How saying “yes” to God opens doors you never imagined
• Why obedience often comes before understanding
• How God prepares your purpose long before you ever see it
• Why becoming is a lifelong journey, not a destination

You don’t have to have it all together.

You don’t have to know every step.

You don’t have to feel ready.

God isn’t waiting for you to become perfect before He uses you. He’s simply asking for your yes.

Whether you’re overcoming insecurity, healing from your past, stepping into a new season, or simply wondering what God has next for your life, this message will encourage you to trust the Author of your story. 

Because you are not defined by your mistakes.

You are God’s masterpiece.

And you are becoming everything He created you to be.

What do you do when you're tired of doing good?

In Part 3 of the *Whatever It Takes* series, Pastor Robe Pierre unpacks Galatians 6:9 and delivers a timely message for anyone who feels exhausted, discouraged, or ready to give up.

Paul wasn't writing to people who had stopped believing in God—he was writing to faithful believers who had been serving, giving, restoring, loving, and carrying the burdens of others. They weren't doing the wrong thing. They were simply growing weary.

His encouragement was simple:

Don't quit.

In this message, you'll discover:

• Why good people often grow tired of doing good
• How God renews those who are spiritually exhausted
• Why seeds always disappear before they produce a harvest
• The difference between your responsibility and God's responsibility
• How to stay faithful when you don't see immediate results
• Why people should never become the reason you stop serving God
• How consistency is one of the greatest marks of spiritual maturity

The Kingdom doesn't operate on immediate gratification.

There is always a gap between sowing and seeing.

Every prayer is a seed.

Every invitation is a seed.

Every act of generosity is a seed.

Every time you choose forgiveness, kindness, and faithfulness, God is working—even when you can't see it.

This message is a reminder that your reward isn't determined by people's applause. It's determined by God's faithfulness.

Whether you're tired from serving, discouraged by people, or wondering if your faithfulness is making a difference, this message will encourage you to keep showing up, keep believing, and keep doing good.

Because the greatest threat to the Kingdom isn't bad people.

It's good people who get tired of doing good.

So don't quit.

Your harvest is coming.

What kind of friend are you?

In this powerful message, Pastor Robe Pierre unpacks one of Jesus' most well-known parables—the Good Samaritan—and challenges us to move beyond asking, "Who is my neighbor?" to becoming the neighbor God has called us to be.

In a world where everyone is looking for loyal friendships, Jesus shifts the focus from the kind of friend we want to the kind of friend we are willing to become. Through the Good Samaritan, we discover that genuine love is demonstrated through compassion, sacrifice, and action—not convenience.

In this message, you'll discover:

• Why real friends are willing to be interrupted for people in need
• The difference between having the right position and having the right posture
• Why compassion always moves toward brokenness instead of avoiding it
• How true friendship always requires sacrifice and personal investment
• The powerful Gospel parallel hidden within the parable of the Good Samaritan
• Why becoming more like Jesus means becoming the kind of neighbor who pays the price for others

The priest had theology.

The Levite had position.

But the Samaritan had compassion.

Jesus reminds us that love isn't measured by what we say—it is measured by what we are willing to sacrifice.

Whether you're learning to love people better, wrestling with compassion fatigue, or asking God to use your life to make a difference, this message will challenge you to stop walking past the hurting and become someone who reflects the heart of Christ.

Because everyone wants a good friend.

But the greater question is:

What kind of friend are you?
