Under The Surface
June 16, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Ephesians 4:26–32
What do you see when you look at others, even those who attend church with you? Do you see people who have it all together or hurting people needing comfort? When everybody looks happy, we assume everything is okay. But we need to look beyond the facade & realize that the world is full of hurting people.
Trust for our Tomorrows
June 9, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Jeremiah 29:11, Matthew 6:25–34, John 15:9–11, Deuteronomy 33:27
This week we travel to one of the most inspiring and spectacular places in the ancient world. Its combination of Art, Religion & Money made it in modern terms, the equivalent of the wealth of the Swiss banks, the religious power of the Vatican, the advertising potential of the Super Bowl, and the importance of all the world museums combined. People flocked from all over to visit this destination, seeking answers.
Dare You To Move
June 2, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Acts 18:8–11, Acts 18:1–3
Throughout this series, we will follow in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. Paul got uncomfortable to preach the gospel. One of the places Paul spent time, was known for its immorality, yet the impact of His time there, was felt far beyond the city's borders.
Bigger House of Influence
May 12, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Matthew 5:13–16, John 8:12, John 9:5, John 12:35–36
Perhaps due to the social media phenomenon, most people would not consider themselves an influencer when asked. However, everyone influences the life of another, and it turns out Jesus had a lot to say on the subject!
Bigger House of Trust
April 28, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Genesis 1:27–31, Leviticus 27:30, Malachi 3:10, Matthew 23:23–34, 2 Corinthians 9:6–8
The Bible has much to say about money, wealth, greed, contentment, and other topics pertaining to our financial and spiritual lives. There are over 2,000 verses in the Bible on this topic, almost half the parables, and one out of every ten verses in the Gospels deal with this subject. In a world where all income brackets live paycheck to paycheck, and debt totals continue to rise, we need to rethink our ugly money issues.
Most Dangerous Road
March 31, 2024 • Brent Freeman • John 20:1–9
There is a road that is known as the most dangerous road in America. It’s called the "Million Dollar Highway". There is a 12-mile stretch of winding mountain road, and if you're driving south you'll be on the cliffside, with no guardrails! The origin of the name is unclear. But the locals say "You'd have to pay me a million dollars" to drive that stretch in the snow. Any mistake can lead to severe consequences.
Why Pray?
March 24, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Matthew 26:36–42, Jeremiah 25:15–16, Matthew 26:42–46, Luke 22:44
Prayer is a powerful tool. Through prayer, I have seen people recover from medical battles, relationships restored, families healed, circumstances changed, and people saved. However, I also know there will be times when prayer will not change what is about to happen. So the question must be addressed, "Why pray?"
Go The Distance
March 17, 2024 • Brent Freeman • John 1:42, Luke 22:31–62, Mark 16:7, 1 Peter 1:3–9
Nicknames are a funny thing, they can be a reflection of our strengths or our greatest weaknesses. A source of pride or humiliation. Jesus gave a nickname to one of His disciples, that didn't appear to reflect who He was at all in the moment. Perhaps it's because Jesus sees our potential and who we can become.
Wasting Time
March 10, 2024 • Brent Freeman • John 11:1–27, Luke 10:38–42
Most of us are familiar with the moment when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. However, in this event, we also learn about a woman named Martha. But Martha's story isn't limited to this one event. This week we take some time to examine a life, that was preoccupied and overly busy, and how that life drastically changed.
Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego
February 25, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Daniel 3
What do you do when your life is on the line, and the only out requires you to compromise your beliefs? When you're facing the literal fires in life, that is when you need to trust God. But Trusting God is only possible when you know Him.
Strength & Weakness
February 18, 2024 • Brent Freeman • Judges 14:5–9, Judges 16:1–30, Hebrews 11:13
This week we look at a man born to live a special life, set apart from the nation around Him. Despite His parent's efforts to dedicate their child to God's service, He repeatedly made one bad decision after another. But once again, we see that His story didn't end there.
