Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What happens when God opens the door for change, but His people refuse to step through it?**God doesn't need more spectators. He needs builders.**In this challenging message, **A Nehemiah Call**, Apostle Ren Schuffman confronts passive Christianity and calls believers to become active participants in advancing the Kingdom of God.Using the story of Nehemiah and the biblical command to seek the welfare of our cities, Apostle Ren explains why faith cannot stop at prayer, church attendance, or good intentions.Nehemiah petitioned the king, secured resources, and opened the door for restoration. But it was the people who actually rebuilt the walls.**The question is: Are we willing to become the builders?**In this message, discover:• Why Christians are called to care about their communities and the people leading them.• What Nehemiah teaches us about spiritual influence, leadership, and taking action.• Why being nice isn't always the same as being kind.• How prayer and practical obedience work together.• Why God may be positioning Freedom Fellowship Church for a new season of growth and greater impact.• What it means to move from simply receiving ministry to actively participating in God's work.Apostle Ren also shares personal experiences ministering internationally, his vision for the future of FFC, and a powerful call to become a generation that doesn't merely watch God move—but joins Him in the work.**Key Scriptures:**Jeremiah 29:7 | Nehemiah 2 | Nehemiah 6:15🔥 **It's time to stop sitting on the sidelines.

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if the very thing you think disqualifies you is the reason God chose you?Too many people are living beneath their calling because they've allowed failure, insecurity, shame, and the opinions of others to determine their identity. But what happens when we stop asking, "Who am I?" and start asking, "Who does the I AM say I am?"In this powerful message from Freedom Fellowship Church, discover why God doesn't need you to be perfectly qualified before He calls you. He wants you to recognize the power of His presence.When Moses questioned his ability to lead, God didn't give him a list of qualifications. He promised to be with him.**Your weakness doesn't cancel your calling. God's presence changes everything.**Through the encounters of Moses, Isaiah, Peter, and John, this message explores:• Why your mistakes don't define your identity • The difference between positive thinking and genuine transformation • Why God's presence matters more than your qualifications • How prayer renews your mind and changes your perspective • Why you don't have to be perfect to be used by God • How to overcome shame, insecurity, and fear of failure • What it means to believe and speak what God says about you**Key Scriptures:** Exodus 3:11–14, Isaiah 6, John 18:4–6, James 3:9–10, Acts 4:13, Romans 12:2, and Psalm 139:14.Stop allowing your worst moments to become the final word about who you are.Get closer to the I AM, and discover who He created you to be.We're passionate about equipping believers to encounter God, grow in their faith, and advance His Kingdom.Subscribe for biblical teaching, discipleship, supernatural ministry, and messages that challenge you to live your faith boldly.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded that their past does not disqualify their future.#IdentityInChrist #ChristianFaith #Purpose #RenewYourMind #FreedomFellowshipChurch━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if the greatest threat to your harvest isn't the enemy stealing it—but fear convincing you to destroy it yourself?God called Gideon while he was hiding in a winepress. He was trying to preserve what little he had, but God was preparing him to deliver an entire nation.In The Gideon Generation: A Prophetic Uprising, Apostle Ren Schuffman delivers a challenging message about spiritual harvest, prophetic restoration, authentic worship, and the generation God is raising up for revival.Through biblical teaching and personal testimonies, Pastor Ren explores why the church must move beyond religious routine and rediscover the heart, presence, and power of God.In this message, discover:• Why Gideon's hiding place reveals something about our own fears and limitations.• How worship cultivates God's presence and why His glory is our rear guard.• Why counterfeit prophetic activity should not cause us to reject genuine spiritual gifts.• How to recognize prophetic ministry that points people back to the heart of Jesus.• Why focusing on a few problems can cause us to destroy the good things growing in our lives.• Why the next generation must be equipped to carry revival beyond the church walls.Key Scriptures: Judges 6, Isaiah 6, Isaiah 58:8, Matthew 13:24–30, Ephesians 6, and Acts 2:17–18.The church was never meant to simply gather, enjoy a service, and return to life unchanged. We are called to encounter God, be transformed, and bring His Kingdom into the world.The question is no longer simply whether revival is coming.Are we willing to step out of hiding and steward the harvest?Watch the full message, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and subscribe for more biblical teaching and Spirit-filled ministry from Freedom Fellowship Church.#PropheticUprising #ChristianRevival #GideonGeneration #HolySpirit #FreedomFellowshipChurch━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Special Guest - Danny Silk What would your life look like if you were ten times more courageous than you are right now?In this powerful and deeply encouraging message, Danny Silk challenges us to rediscover something many believers have slowly surrendered: the freedom to dream.You were created in the image of God, and there is a unique design, calling, and purpose within you. But disappointment, fear, failure, rejection, and deferred hope can cause us to shrink our lives until our dreams feel impossible.Danny reminds us that free people dream.When God brings us out of captivity, He doesn't simply free us to survive—He frees us to become who He created us to be.In this message, you'll discover:• Why your dreams can reveal part of your God-given design• How deferred hope can affect the condition of your heart• Why fear often becomes loudest when you're approaching your destiny• How dreams help bring direction and alignment to your life• What happens when you begin dreaming with God• Why courage is essential to walking through the door of opportunity• The power of writing down the dreams and vision God has placed in your heart• How God can accomplish things you once believed were impossible• Why disappointment doesn't have to become the end of your story• How to give yourself permission to dream againDanny shares the unforgettable picture of the “dogs of doom” guarding the door of destiny—voices of fear telling you that you'll fail, be humiliated, or lose everything if you move forward.But sometimes the things that looked like giant threats from a distance turn out to have far less power than we gave them.The question becomes:What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?What dream would you pursue?What would change tomorrow if you suddenly became ten times more courageous?And what might happen if you stopped dreaming only about what you could accomplish—and started dreaming with God?Danny also challenges us to do something practical:Write down 100 dreams.Write the vision. Make it clear. Revisit it. And allow God to show you that He may be paying far more attention to the desires He's placed within you than you realized.Some of you stopped dreaming because life didn't turn out the way you expected.Some lowered your expectations because hoping again felt too dangerous.This message is an invitation to open your heart again.Permission to dream: GRANTED.It's time to hope again.It's time to dream again.It's time to step through the door.#DannySilk #DareToDreamAgain #DreamWithGod #FaithOverFear #ChristianMotivation #KingdomMindset #Purpose #Destiny #HolySpirit #FreedomFellowshipChurch━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if the fight you're facing isn't evidence that you've lost God's favor—but part of the journey into it?In **Favor After the Fight**, Apostle Ren Schuffman looks at the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and challenges the way we often think about God's favor.Gideon wasn't standing confidently on a battlefield when God called him a mighty man of valor. He was hiding. Israel was oppressed. Resources were scarce. Gideon's circumstances looked nothing like the identity God spoke over him.But something began to change when Gideon chose to trust what God said and put his faith into action.Sometimes we're waiting for God to give us another sign while God is waiting for us to respond to what He's already spoken.This message explores:• Why resistance doesn't necessarily mean you've missed God• What Gideon's sacrifice teaches us about active faith• Why God can speak identity over you before you see it yourself• What happens when circumstances shrink instead of grow• How obedience prepares you to walk into what God has spoken• Why the fight doesn't get the final wordYou may be looking at the battle and wondering where God's favor went.Don't quit there.The fight does end—and favor does come.Watch **Favor After the Fight**, share it with someone who's fighting through a difficult season, and subscribe for more messages from Freedom Fellowship Church in Oklahoma City.Freedom Fellowship ChurchTRAIN | EQUIP | DEPLOY━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if Christians were never supposed to retreat from culture—but were actually called to shape it?In this powerful message from Freedom Fellowship Church, Apostle Ren Schuffman unpacks Jesus’ command in Luke 19:13:**“Occupy till I come.”**This isn't a call to hide inside the church and wait for Jesus to return. It's a call to advance.Ren explores the biblical picture of the **Ekklesia** as a governing people of God—believers carrying Kingdom authority into their families, businesses, workplaces, education, entertainment, science, medicine, government, ministry, and every other sphere God has called them to influence.For too long, the Church has surrendered territory because we were afraid of looking controversial, becoming associated with counterfeit versions of spiritual gifts, or engaging a culture moving away from God.But darkness didn't gain ground simply because darkness became powerful.**Light withdrew.**It's time to occupy again.🔥 IN THIS MESSAGE:• What Jesus meant by “Occupy till I come”• Understanding the Ekklesia and Kingdom authority• Possessing the gates of the enemy• Why Christians are called to influence culture• The role of apostles and prophets today• Restoring the full fivefold ministry• Why the pulpit isn't your only place of Kingdom influence• Business, multiplication, favor, and Kingdom resources• Moving beyond a survival mentality• Taking back territory the Church surrendered• Bringing Kingdom culture into the workplace• Christians in entertainment, education, science, medicine, and government• Why prayer and practical action belong together• The danger of religious power without love• How love protects Kingdom authority from becoming control• Becoming a culture setter wherever God places you• Walking in favor for the sake of your assignmentThe goal isn't simply to become rich, powerful, or influential.Kingdom prosperity is having what you need to accomplish the assignment God has given you.Kingdom influence isn't about putting people beneath your feet.It's about washing feet.When authority is governed by love, we don't occupy territory to keep people out—we occupy so we can invite people into something better.📖 KEY SCRIPTURES & THEMES:Luke 19:13Matthew 16:18The EkklesiaThe Fivefold MinistryPossessing the GatesBeing Fruitful & MultiplyingKingdom AuthorityKingdom InfluenceFaith, Hope & LoveHealing & DeliveranceYour assignment isn't simply to survive this world long enough to escape it.You carry the Kingdom of God.Your workplace can be Kingdom territory.Your business can be Kingdom territory.Your family can be Kingdom territory.Your creativity can be Kingdom territory.Your calling can shift culture.The question is:**What has God called YOU to occupy?**Ren closes the message by praying for a renewed spirit of faith, hope, love, favor, healing, and Kingdom advancement—and declaring that this is not a season to shrink back.**It's a season to advance.**You are deployed to occupy.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to carry the Kingdom of Heaven everywhere God sends us.👍 LIKE this message if it challenged you.💬 COMMENT: What area has God called you to occupy?🔔 SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications for more Kingdom teaching, worship, prophetic ministry, and messages from Freedom Fellowship Church.#OccupyUntilHeComes #KingdomOfGod #RenSchuffman #KingdomCulture #Ekklesia #FivefoldMinistry #Apostolic #Prophetic #ChristianLeadership #FreedomFellowshiphttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) https://anchor.fm/freedom-fellowship/message (Subscribe to our Audio podcast) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman Are you waiting for the waters to part before you take a step? What if God is not calling you to walk through the storm but to walk on top of it?In this message, we explore two powerful kingdom moments side by side. The first is Moses and the parting of the Red Sea, where God made a clear path through an impossible situation. The second is the disciples on the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus walked on the water and invited Peter to do the same. Both are expressions of God's power. But they are not the same path, and recognizing which one He is calling you to changes everything.We dig into why Jesus was walking on the water in the first place. Job 9:8 tells us that only God treads on the waves of the sea. Jesus was not taking a shortcut. He was making a declaration, fulfilling Scripture, and revealing Himself as Yahweh in the flesh. When He said I am to the frightened disciples, He was not just calming their nerves. He was telling them exactly who He is.We also take a closer look at Peter, the one disciple who stepped out of the boat. Yes, he began to sink. But Peter walked on water twice, once going toward Jesus and once coming back with Jesus holding his hand. The eleven who stayed dry never experienced what Peter did. Sitting safely in the boat and criticizing those who step out is not faith. It is fear dressed up as wisdom.We also explore why things sometimes break when God starts to bless us. When Jesus filled Peter's nets the first time, they broke, not because of an enemy attack, but because the nets were not prepared for that kind of harvest. The same is true for new wineskins. When God pours something new into an old, rigid container, it cracks. The blessing is not the problem. The unprepared vessel is.This message also covers the difference between serving God and being a servant of God, why character matters more than talent or strategy, and what it looks like to run toward a storm instead of away from it.Topics covered include faith over fear, walking by faith, stepping out in faith, trusting God in hard times, spiritual growth, overcoming doubt, Peter walking on water, Moses and the Red Sea, new wineskins, God's blessing, servant leadership, Christian living, and how to hear God's voice in a storm.If you have been waiting for clear skies before you move, this message is for you. The goal is not to avoid the hard thing. It is to walk through it, or over it, with your hand in His.#FaithOverFear #WalkByFaith #StepOutInFaith #WalkingOnWater #TrustGod #FaithInTheStorm #SpiritualGrowth #NewWineskins #ChristianLiving #OvercomeFear #TakeTheLeap #Courage #Resilience #FindingPurpose #Breakthroughhttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Pastor Chastity ParksAre you exhausted from fighting battles that were never meant to be fought alone? This message is a biblical wake-up call for anyone who has been quietly suffering, pretending everything is fine, or carrying burdens in silence while the body of Christ stands nearby, ready to help.Drawing from Psalm 144:1, Ephesians 6, Psalm 37, and Habakkuk 2, this teaching explores what it truly means to be equipped for spiritual warfare and why so many believers put on the armor of God and then sit down. God trains our hands for war, but the battle requires us to stay alert, stay connected, and stay in the fight together.Topics covered include:Why we pretend everything is fine and how to break that cycleHow God views our problems and why no prayer request is too smallWhat it means to stand firm after putting on the full armor of GodThe difference between fretting and trusting, based on Psalm 37How intercession works as a relay, not a solo assignmentWhat it looks like to function as a connected member of the body of ChristHow the enemy gets closer than we realize and what to do about itWhat married couples need to know about spiritual warfare and covering each otherIf you have been running plays by yourself and wondering why you are so tired, this message is for you. You were never designed to do this alone. Your hands were trained for war. It is time to wake up, link arms, and advance together.Keywords: spiritual warfare, armor of God, Ephesians 6, prayer and intercession, body of Christ, Christian community, Psalm 37, Psalm 144, how to pray for others, intercessory prayer, Christian marriage, fighting spiritual battles, overcoming anxiety and worry, trusting God in hard times, Christian encouragement, biblical teaching, church sermon, faith and perseverance, standing firm in faith, praying together #SpiritualWarfare #PrayerWarrior #IntercessoryPrayer #ArmorOfGod #Ephesians6 #SpiritualAuthority #ChristianLiving #PowerOfPrayer #StandFirm #DontGiveUp #KeepFighting #YouAreNotAlone #Resilience #StrongerTogether #WakeUphttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Apostle Ren SchuffmanAre you stuck in the shallow end of your faith and wondering why nothing seems to change? This message dives into one of the most powerful images in Scripture, drawn from Ezekiel 47, where God leads a man step by step into deeper and deeper water. What starts at the ankles eventually becomes a river too deep to cross, and that progression has everything to say about spiritual growth, surrender, and why so many believers stay comfortable instead of going further with God.Topics covered include why shallow faith feels safe but keeps you small, what it means when you feel resistance as you go deeper with God, the difference between the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee and what it reveals about receiving versus releasing, how Peter's breakthrough in Luke 5 happened only when he was willing to go further out, and what full surrender to God actually looks like in everyday life.The Greek word translated as saved, sozo, does not simply mean getting a ticket to heaven. It means complete transformation, deliverance, freedom, and maturity. Salvation is not the finish line. It is the beginning of going deeper. And the people who tend to carry the most ongoing turmoil are often the ones living at the shallowest depth, not because life is harder for them, but because they have not grown large enough to carry what God is placing in front of them.If you have been asking God to bless something you are not willing to walk into, if your faith has been more about receiving than releasing, or if you have been fighting the current instead of surrendering to where He is taking you, this message is for you.Keywords and topics to help you find this content: spiritual growth, going deeper with God, Ezekiel 47, faith and surrender, Christian living, overcoming fear in faith, Dead Sea vs Sea of Galilee, Luke 5 deep water, sozo meaning salvation, shallow faith, deep faith, how to grow spiritually, Christian motivation, purpose driven life, Holy Spirit, biblical teaching, church sermon, faith journey, trusting God, letting go and trusting God, spiritual maturity, Christian encouragement, Bible study, living water John 7, deep calls to deep Psalm 42. #GoingDeeperWithGod #SpiritualGrowth #ShallowFaith #SurrenderToGod #ChristianLiving #SpiritualMaturity #Ezekiel47 #TrustGod #GrowYourFaith #FaithJourney #GetUnstuck #ComfortZone #OvercomingFear #Transformation #FindingPurposehttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What is the difference between building a platform and building an altar? Both involve elevation, but they elevate completely different things. One lifts your name. The other surrenders it. This is one of the most important questions any believer can ask about their faith, their ambitions, and the foundation underneath everything they are building.The story of Job is one of the most powerful examples in all of Scripture of what it looks like to have a genuine altar beneath a life of influence and blessing. Job had wealth, honor, and a voice that commanded respect. He was the greatest man in the East. But when God spoke about him in heaven, He did not mention any of that. He simply said, Have you considered My servant Job? Earth knew Job by his platform. Heaven knew him by his altar.When Satan stripped everything away, the test was simple: would worship remain when the blessing was gone? Job sat in the ashes and kept his trust in God. His surrender ran deeper than his circumstances. And in the end, he received back twofold what was taken, not because he performed perfectly, but because what remained when everything was removed was an altar, not a platform.The cross of Jesus is the clearest picture of what an altar truly looks like. He rejected every platform man tried to give Him. He walked away when people wanted to make Him king. The only elevation He accepted was the cross, and above that cross, Pilate unknowingly wrote the divine name of God in Hebrew. The Pharisees saw it immediately and begged him to change it. He refused.God is not a distant, wrathful Father being held back by Jesus. He is a God who loved you so much that He Himself stepped in and bore what you could not. The cross reveals a God of love, not a God of punishment.If you are in a dry season right now, this is for you. Your desert is a journey, not a destination. God wants to build a platform around you, but He needs the altar to be in place first. If the blessing comes before the altar is built, it will not last.Topics covered include the difference between platform and altar, the story of Job and spiritual surrender, the meaning of the sign above the cross of Jesus, the character of God the Father, surviving dry seasons in faith, building influence for God's glory, and what it means to pick up your cross daily.Keywords: platform vs altar, Job in the Bible, spiritual surrender, picking up your cross, sign above the cross, Pilate inscription YHWH, God the Father and Jesus, dry seasons in faith, building faith on a foundation, servant of God, Christian living, biblical teaching, faith and influence, surrender to God, Job restoration, tetragrammaton cross, Christian sermon, purpose and calling, altar of surrender, what does the cross mean#BuildAnAltar #SurrenderToGod #ChristianLiving #StoryOfJob #PickUpYourCross #FaithInGod #PurposeAndCalling #SpiritualGrowth #Leadership #Influence #Purpose #Identity #Adversity #FindingPurpose #ChristianSermonhttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) https://anchor.fm/freedom-fellowship/message (Subscribe to our Audio podcast) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What does it really mean to be covered by the blood of Jesus? Most people treat it as a spiritual phrase without understanding the profound truth behind it. This teaching digs into Scripture, science, and the nature of time to reveal something that will completely change how you pray, how you speak, and how you see yourself.Scripture declares in Colossians 1 that all things were created through Jesus and in Him, and that in Him all things are held together. Revelation 13:8 tells us the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. That means the cross was not God reacting to humanity's failure. It was His original design, coded into creation before anything existed.Science is beginning to confirm what the Bible has always said. Quantum physics and the double-slit experiment reveal that particles of light appear to respond to future observations, suggesting that something in the physical world is not bound by linear time. Researchers studying aging have discovered that cells can be returned to their original code, reversing the aging process entirely. In animal studies, aging was reversed to the equivalent of 260 human years. Human trials are already showing results, including the reversal of blindness. And the laminin protein, the molecule that holds your cells together at the cellular level, is shaped like a cross.God's fingerprint is inside your body. The blood of Jesus is not something you apply from the outside. It is already in you, waiting to be activated.Revelation 12:11 says believers overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. When you speak what heaven has already written about your life, you align yourself with the original code placed in you at creation. You are not creating something new. You are expressing something that was always there.This teaching also explores identity and assignment. You are not called to become the person you are called to reach. If you are called to lift people out of brokenness, you are not called to live in it. You carry something others need, and walking in that truth is part of activating the blood.Topics covered include the meaning of John 1 and Colossians 1, the double-slit experiment and quantum physics, DNA and the origin of life, the laminin protein and the cross, aging reversal research and what it reveals about God's design, the difference between the Old and New Testament blood covenant, how to pray from your future instead of your past, and the connection between identity and spiritual authority.Keywords: blood of Jesus, covered by the blood, what does the blood of Jesus mean, quantum physics and the Bible, laminin protein cross, DNA and God, aging reversal science, Revelation 12:11, praying with authority, spiritual identity, John 1 meaning, Colossians 1, slain from the foundation of the world, how to activate faith, Christian teaching on prayer, prophetic prayer, declaring God's promises, faith and science, Christian identity, overcoming by the blood of the Lamb.#BloodOfJesus #CoveredByTheBlood #FaithAndScience #QuantumPhysics #DoubleSlitExperiment #DNA #Laminin #ChristianIdentity #SpiritualAuthority #PowerOfPrayer #BloodOfTheLamb #ScienceAndFaith #NatureOfTime #BibleTeaching #JesusChristhttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if one of the most important words in the entire Gospel of Mark has been mistranslated in most of your Bible? In Mark 1:10, the Greek word used to describe what happened to the heavens at Jesus' baptism does not mean opened. It means torn. Ripped apart. Split open. That single word changes everything about how we understand the presence of God, the power available to believers, and what Jesus actually accomplished through His life and death.This message walks through the bookends of Mark's gospel, from the tearing of the heavens at the Jordan River to the tearing of the temple veil at Calvary, and shows how these two moments are deeply connected. Mark intentionally uses the same Greek word in both places to make a powerful theological statement: Jesus ripped heaven open at the start of His ministry to be empowered, and He ripped it open again at the end of His ministry so that we could be empowered.The prophet Isaiah had cried out centuries before, begging God to rend the heavens and come down. Mark opens his gospel by quoting Isaiah, and the connection is unmistakable. What Isaiah longed for has now happened. Heaven has broken into earth through Jesus Christ, and the access that was once limited to one priest entering one room one day a year is now available to every person.This message also addresses one of the most common struggles in the modern church: the gap between what we say we believe and how we actually live. Like King Saul, many people give God whatever is left over after everything else is done. Like King David, we are called to prioritize the presence of God above our own thrones and ambitions. Comfortable Christianity is not the cheaper option. It is actually the most costly one, because what you choose not to carry will cost you far more in the long run.If you have ever felt separated from God because of your failures, or wondered why God seems distant in your hardest seasons, this message speaks directly to that. Your sin is not strong enough to put back the veil that has already been torn. The presence of God is not waiting on more effort from you. It is waiting on more surrender.Topics covered include the Gospel of Mark, the baptism of Jesus, the temple veil, Isaiah 64, the presence of God, spiritual breakthrough, kingdom of God, Christian living, faith and surrender, overcoming spiritual dryness, and the power of the Holy Spirit.Whether you are new to faith or have been walking with God for years, this is a message about stepping into what has already been made available to you. Heaven has broken through. The only question is where you choose to posture yourself.https://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) https://anchor.fm/freedom-fellowship/message (Subscribe to our Audio podcast) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Pastor Chastity ParksWhat does it actually mean to make disciples, and is the Great Commission still relevant for believers today? This message digs into the biblical meaning of discipleship, why so many Christians are waiting when they should already be moving, and how the condition of our homes and hearts directly affects our ability to lead others toward Christ.The Greek word for making disciples means to teach, train, and invest in people so they can grow in their faith and reproduce that growth in others. The Great Commission in Matthew 28 was not a one-time command for the twelve apostles. Because Jesus promised to be with His followers until the end of the age, every believer is called to make disciples right now, wherever they are.Topics covered include: - The biblical definition of a disciple and what it means to make one - Why the Great Commission applies to every Christian, not just church leaders - How to stop waiting for someone else to go first - The role of church leadership in equipping believers for ministry - Why discipleship starts at home before it starts anywhere else - The danger of trying to control others instead of trusting God - What healthy discipleship looks like, including how to release someone to their next season - Why you do not have to be perfect or have everything figured out to begin discipling othersWhether you are a pastor, a small group leader, a parent, or someone who has never thought of yourself as a discipler, this message is for you. God has placed things in your hands that are meant to be used. The world is waiting for what He has put in you.Keywords: discipleship, Great Commission, Matthew 28, how to make disciples, Christian growth, spiritual maturity, church leadership, Ephesians 4, equipping the saints, mentorship, biblical discipleship, following Jesus, Christian living, faith, Holy Spirit, spiritual formation, small group ministry, Christian mentoring, growing in faith, obedience to Godhttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman Do you know the difference between authority and power? Most believers do not, and it is costing them ground in their spiritual lives. In Luke 10:19, Jesus uses two completely different Greek words that most English translations blur together. The first is exousia, a legal right and delegated authority. The second is dunamis, raw supernatural power and capability. Jesus declared that believers have been given legal authority over every operative supernatural capability of the enemy. The enemy has dunamis. What he does not have is exousia over your life. That belongs to you.This message unpacks what it means to walk in God-given authority as a believer, why submission to God is the key to exercising that authority effectively, and how prayer functions not as a last resort but as the first act of spiritual authority. Drawing from Luke 10, Luke 4, James 4, and the story of the 12 spies in Numbers, this teaching connects biblical truth to practical, everyday application.Topics covered include the meaning of exousia and dunamis in the original Greek, how Adam and Eve handed authority to the enemy and how Jesus came to restore it, why the order in James 4:7 matters, what the 70 disciples sent out by Jesus reveal about God's plan for the nations, how the report you speak over your circumstances affects the enemy's access to your life, what biblical provision actually means and how it connects to your God-given assignment, and how to flip the order in your daily life by praying first and stepping into situations from a position of authorized power.If you have been feeling like you are fighting uphill battles, constantly overwhelmed, or unsure whether God has really given you any real authority in your life, this message is for you. You are not fighting for victory. You are fighting from it. The authority has already been given. The question is whether you are positioned to exercise it.Keywords: spiritual authority, Christian authority, Luke 10:19, exousia vs dunamis, authority over the enemy, spiritual warfare, how to pray with authority, submitting to God, James 4:7, God-given authority, believer's authority, overcoming the enemy, spiritual breakthrough, Christian living, kingdom of God, prayer and authority, walking in victory, biblical authority, Holy Spirit power, defeating the devil, spiritual growth, faith and authority, Christian teaching, Bible study, church sermonhttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Pastor Ren Schuffman Are you spending more energy trying to escape your problems than stepping into your purpose? There is a powerful difference between deliverance and dominion, and understanding that difference could change everything about how you live your faith.This message explores why so many believers get delivered out of hard situations but never actually walk into the life God prepared for them. Drawing from the stories of Moses and Joshua, Joseph in Egypt, Daniel in Babylon, and Israel in the wilderness, this teaching unpacks why the enemy does not need to fight your freedom. He only needs to redirect your favor and keep you from your promise.Topics covered include:The difference between deliverance and dominionWhy salvation is the starting line, not the finish lineHow avoidance motivation keeps believers stuck in cyclesThe goal gradient effect and why people stop short of breakthroughWhat it means to have favor directed toward your God-given inheritanceWhy Israel romanticized Egypt and how that same pattern shows up todayWhat the Year of the Lord's Favor in Luke 4 means for your life right nowHow to shift from running away from pain to running toward promiseIf you have ever felt like you keep getting free but never seem to move forward, this message is for you. God is not just trying to rescue you. He is trying to seat you in your inheritance.Key scriptures referenced: 2 Corinthians 1:20, Numbers 11:5, Luke 4:18-19, Deuteronomy 6:10-11Relevant topics and keywords: Christian faith, spiritual growth, purpose, breakthrough, promised land, deliverance, dominion, sanctification, salvation, biblical inheritance, overcoming fear, faith and vision, moving forward in faith, Christian motivation, identity in Christ, spiritual warfare, favor of God, Luke 4, Israel in the wilderness, Joshua and Caleb, kingdom mindset, Christian living, church sermon, Bible teaching, faith over fear, God's promises, year of favorhttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) https://anchor.fm/freedom-fellowship/message (Subscribe to our Audio podcast) Were you blessed by this message?
