Guest speaker Pastor Jordan Hodges joins us for Kingdom Builders weekend to unpack what Scripture teaches about generosity. Diving into the biblical foundations of the Tithe, the Offering, and Alms, Pastor Jordan breaks down how aligning our finances with God's heart transforms our spiritual walk.

Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions, letting life pass you by while you watch from the sidelines? In a world that constantly pushes us to conform to its noise, distractions, and artificial quick-fixes, it’s easy to lose sight of who we were actually created to be. When we step off the treadmill of worldly expectations and make room for what truly matters, everything changes. We stop living on autopilot and start discovering a purpose that actually satisfies. Ready to stop playing it safe, break out of the mold, and unlock the good, pleasing, and perfect life you were meant to live?

How can we stay grounded in faith in a digital, fast-paced world? How do we identify subtle distractions, anxiety triggers, and cultural pressures? By understanding the power of your daily choices and free will we can move from passive conformity to true spiritual transformation. As you listen, pray and ask the Lord what daily habits or digital boundaries help you keep your mind clear and aligned with God's peace?

In a world dominated by constant notifications and digital noise, what does it actually look like to slow down and live out a deep, authentic faith? Drawing from Romans 12:1, this conversation cuts through the legalism and explores what it really means to be "holy" and "pleasing to God". Instead of striving to follow a checklist of rules, discover how surrendering your personal rights and opening up to daily transformation can reshape your relationship with God.

Want a spiritual life that actually changes you? It isn't a secret—it’s a formula. Looking at the explosion of the early Church in Acts, real growth always comes down to three non-negotiables: the right people, the right place, and the right season of time. If you're tired of going through the motions alone, discover how these three simple ingredients can completely rewrite your story—and how to stop letting the enemy steal them from you.

As back to school season roles around, we wanted to have a special Sunday service to honor our local educators! If you are an educator, we want to take the time to say thank you for what you do. Freedom Center Church is here for you!

When we read scripture, it can be tempting to compare ourselves to David or Moses or any of the 'famous people'. It can be easy to compare ourselves to all the main characters in our favorite TV shows or movies. It can be easy to "name drop" significant people that we may know... and each of those things reveals something rooted deep within all of us -- we are all deeply longing for a sense of significance. Today, Pastor Carl offers us a very simple solution.

Have we turned the Church into a product to consume? In a culture where we can shop for churches the same way we shop on Amazon, it's easy to show up for the music, the preaching, or the atmosphere—and completely miss Jesus in the process. This message will challenge us to step away from chasing temporary spiritual highs and return to what truly satisfies a hungry soul.

Have you ever wondered how to study the Bible? Today Pastor Jim teaches us in real time, completely on the spot. You'll have to listen in order to find out what the study was on.

Anxiety lives in tomorrow. Gratitude lives in today. We live in a world that keeps our minds divided, distracted, and running on high alert. But the answer to burnout isn’t just doing less—it’s being intentional about who we are focusing on. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the anatomy of anxiety and shares how to recapture the lost art of stillness. Stop letting comparison and endless scrolling rob you of your peace. It’s time to drop the distractions, return to your first love, and let gratitude change your perspective.

Most of us spend our lives trying to prove we’re strong enough—for God, for our family, and for ourselves. Peter did the same. But after failure, shame, and returning to his old life, Jesus met him with grace instead of condemnation. If you’ve been carrying the weight of trying to keep it all together, this message is an invitation to stop performing, remember the gospel, and let Christ restore you.

Baptism is saying “yes” to Jesus before you know the question He’s asking. When Jesus called Simon, Andrew, James, and John by the Sea of Galilee, He didn't offer a roadmap—He offered a relationship. Following Him meant leaving their security, their family businesses, and everything they knew behind. Discipleship is radical, but Jesus promises us that it is the key to an abundant life. Are you ready to drop your own "nets" and trust God with the unknown? It's the best decision you will ever make.

When we give away what we have, logic tells us we should have less—but God's economy operates on entirely different principles. Solomon discovered this truth not through theoretical theology but through careful observation of life itself, watching ants store provisions and noticing how generous people somehow never run out of what others need. Are our hearts pointing outward toward the needs of others, or inward toward protecting what's ours? When we live with open hands—looking for the student who needs help, the single mom struggling, the neighbor in distress—God's arrows begin pointing back toward us in ways that defy human math. This isn't about manipulation or treating God like a cosmic vending machine, but about recognizing that generosity is the genesis of blessing.

There's an app for everything... and in this day and age there's almost a bible for everything. We say we don't have time to read the Bible, but really that's a lie. Audio bibles, comic bibles, bibles narrated by your favorite celebrities, multiple translations... you name it. So the question now becomes; do you ENJOY the bible?

When was the last time that you took a moment to just be still in the presence of Jesus? For many of us, it has been far too long. We are in such a hurry all the time that we have no margin for peace. Jesus promises us an abundant life... so many of us squander that simply because we don't prioritize time to sit with Him. Pastor JD Wiegand brings an encouraging reminder to us... we must sit in Jesus' presence, and be present. We can't make time stop, but we can be intentional with the time that we have.
