In this week’s message, Pastor Landon reminds us that the Christmas story doesn’t start with shepherds in a field or a baby in a manger — it starts in the beginning.

Journey with us through Genesis as we discover how creation, promise, judgment, and covenant all point to Christmas. We see:

Christmas is not the beginning of Jesus — it is the unveiling of Him.

Join us as we look at Christmas through the first pages of Scripture and rediscover the wonder of a Savior who was planned, promised, and present from the very beginning.

Advent isn’t just a countdown to presents—it’s an invitation to slow down, number our days, and fix our hearts on Jesus. In this message, Pastor Landon kicks off the Advent season by contrasting “carnal Christmas” (hurry, hype, comparison, consumption) with an eternal, Kingdom-minded Christmas rooted in gratitude and purpose.

Drawing from Psalm 90:12, Daniel 1 & 6, and Revelation 21, he shows how Daniel lived as a godly witness in a “Babylon” culture full of pressure, distraction, and compromise—much like ours today. Daniel had purpose in his heart, rhythms of prayer, and a lifestyle of gratitude, even under threat. Pastor Landon challenges us to do the same this December: to let gratitude “set the speed limit,” guard our hearts from carnal Christmas, and fuel natural evangelism as we share Jesus with neighbors, coworkers, and family.

You’ll hear practical ideas for:

Advent isn’t about surviving December—it’s about stewarding it well. Trade carnal Christmas for Kingdom Christmas: hearts grateful, habits grounded, and lives glowing with the good news of Jesus, who came… and is coming again.

Eternal Dividends – Luke 16:19–31 | Pastor Landon

In this message, Pastor Landon walks through Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 and calls us to think seriously about eternity, stewardship, and the true value of our lives.

We look at how:

• Earthly success can disguise spiritual poverty

The rich man had everything on the outside, but nothing that mattered before God.

• Comfort can blind compassion

Our routines, priorities, and “gates” can keep us from seeing the hurting, needy, and lost right in front of us.

• Death equalizes everyone

One heartbeat separates luxury from eternity. What we do with Jesus in this life is what matters forever.

• Hell is real and final

There is no second chance, no crossing the gulf, no purgatory. The rich man’s cry from torment becomes a sobering missionary call: “Send someone to my family.”

• Scripture is enough

We don’t need more signs—we need to hear and respond to the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing.

Pastor Landon also talks about:

• The difference between judgment for sin (paid in full at the cross for those in Christ)

• The Bema Seat of Christ, where believers give an account of what they did with their time, talents, and treasure

• Living with eternal dividends in mind—using our money, gifts, and opportunities as tools for the gospel instead of idols we serve

This message is a call to:

• Invest in souls, not just stuff

• See our church as a gospel outpost, not a religious club

• Trust in Jesus alone for salvation—no “Jesus plus,” no human additions, just His finished work on the cross

May this teaching help you think eternally, love people the way God does, and live in light of the reality that only what’s done for Christ will last.

In this sermon from Freedom Fellowship, Pastor Landon walks through Luke 16:1–18 and Jesus’ parable of the unjust steward. He shows how Jesus uses a confusing story about a crooked manager to teach a crystal-clear truth: money is a tool that reveals our heart’s true allegiance. We are stewards, not owners—everything we have (income, time, influence) is on loan from God, and how we use it shows who we really serve.

We look at:

Pastor Landon also exposes the heart issue behind money: greed vs. generosity, covetousness vs. contentment, fear vs. faith. He calls us to:

The message closes with a powerful picture: a little boy stepping into the offering plate because he has no money—but wants to give Jesus all of himself. That’s the kind of surrender God is after.

Luke 15 stands as one of the most beautiful portraits of God’s heart in all of Scripture. In this single chapter we find one continuous story told in three movements — a true symphony of salvation. The Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one who wandered. The Woman lights a lamp and searches until she finds the lost coin. And the Father runs to embrace and restore his son who had gone astray.

This message from Pastor Landon invites us to see that these are not three disconnected parables but one complete picture of the gospel. Together they reveal the seeking Son, the searching Spirit, and the welcoming Father. We move from the pasture to the parlor and finally into the household of God, where both sons are lost — one in rebellion and one in religion — and both are met with undeserved grace.

The younger son discovers that sin promises freedom but always leads to famine, while the older son learns that outward obedience without love still leaves the heart far from home. Through it all, the Father remains steady, watching, waiting, and running toward his children. Grace begins with God, not with us. Before a word of repentance is spoken, mercy is already moving.

Pastor Landon draws us to Psalm 34 :18 — “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” God does not withdraw from weakness; He draws near to it. The pig pen becomes holy ground, and the road home becomes redemption’s path. Every detail of this story points to the extravagant love of God — a Father who gives more than enough, forgives more than we can measure, and restores us completely.

Whether you see yourself in the prodigal who wandered far or in the older brother who stayed close but grew cold, the invitation is the same: come home. Lay down your pride, your striving, your shame, and step into the feast of mercy prepared for you.

📖 Scripture References: Luke 15 : 11 – 32 | Psalm 34 : 18 | Romans 5 : 8 | Isaiah 61 : 10

If your heart feels weary or distant, know that the Father still runs toward you. His grace is greater than your failure, His patience deeper than your doubt, and His welcome wider than you imagine.

In this message, Pastor Landon teaches from Luke 15:8–10, where Jesus describes the joy of heaven over one sinner who repents—and how the Holy Spirit lights the way.

The lost coin represents something precious that never loses its worth, even when hidden. It reflects the image of God in every person—each life still bearing His imprint and value, no matter how far from Him.

The Holy Spirit convicts (not condemns), reveals truth, and draws people to Jesus—while the church “sweeps the house” in faithful, practical evangelism. Our simple call to action: Light. Sweep. Celebrate. Depend on the Spirit, diligently seek the lost, and rejoice when grace wins.

📖 Key Scriptures:

Luke 15:8–10; John 16; 1 Corinthians 2:10–12; Ephesians 1:17–18; Psalm 119:130; Romans 10:17; John 3:20–21; Acts 1:8; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Romans 8:1; Titus 3:5; Philippians 1:6; Isaiah 61:1–3; Zechariah 4:6; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Ephesians 5:8–9.

🕯️ Takeaways:

• Light – Ask the Spirit to illuminate hearts and Scripture.

• Sweep – Join the search: invite, serve, share the gospel.

• Celebrate – Heaven rejoices; so do we.

Luke 15 opens with two audiences: “tax collectors and sinners” drawing near to hear Jesus, and Pharisees/Scribes complaining that He receives and eats with them. Jesus answers with the parable of the lost sheep to show God’s initiating grace: the Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine, seeks until He finds the one, places it on His shoulders, and calls for rejoicing. Heaven celebrates one sinner who repents. The main claim: salvation is the Shepherd’s work from start to finish—He seeks, finds, carries, and keeps.
