In this message from Hampton Campus Pastor Daniel Ethridge, we walk through Philippians 2:5–11 and discover a compact yet powerful theology of Christ. Jesus, fully God, chose humility—emptying Himself, serving others, and obeying the Father even to death on a cross. This cruciform life doesn’t just inform what we believe; it reshapes how we think, serve, and worship. As the risen and exalted Lord, Jesus redefines greatness as servanthood and calls us to daily surrender. Because it’s all about Jesus, our lives are invited into unity, humility, and joyful obedience that point the world to Him.

The world doesn’t just need to hear the gospel—they need to see it. In this latest sermon from Pastor Grant, titled “Gospel Witness,” we walk through Philippians 1 and see what it means to live as citizens of heaven with courage, unity, and humility. Even suffering is reframed as a kingdom gift that forms us and strengthens our testimony. 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 We’d love to connect with you!

What does your “best life” really look like—and what happens when life gets hard? In “To Live Is Christ,” Lead Pastor Grant Ethridge teaches from Philippians 1:19–26 and unpacks Paul’s powerful words: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Discover the difference between temporary happiness and lasting joy, and learn how to magnify Jesus through both your life and your circumstances. This message will challenge you to live unashamed, pray with faith, and help others take their next step toward Christ.

Advance Through Adversity God often advances His purposes through adversity. What feels like a setback may actually be a setup in God’s hands.In this message from Philippians 1, Lead Pastor Grant Ethridge shares how the Apostle Paul found joy in hardship and how God uses difficult circumstances to advance the gospel. If you’re walking through a challenging season, this message will encourage you to trust God, stay focused on Christ, and believe there is purpose in the pain.I

What if joy wasn’t dependent on circumstances—but on how we live and love? In the first message of our new series Living With Joy, we open the book of Philippians to discover God’s design for healthy relationships that bring unity, purpose, and lasting joy. This message is packed with practical, Christ-centered truth for anyone navigating conflict, connection, or community. If you’re longing for stronger relationships and a deeper joy that lasts, this message is for you—watch, be encouraged, and share it with someone who needs it.

As we approach a new year, Pastor Dalton invites us to reflect honestly on what we have been carrying that God never intended us to hold. Through Scripture and personal stories, this message reminds us that every major move of God begins with leaving something behind. From Abraham and Moses to Ruth and the disciples, God consistently calls His people to step away from what is familiar, comfortable, or defining and to place their trust fully in Him.In this message, we are challenged to leave behind hopelessness, anger and bitterness, and unforgiveness, and to embrace a life of surrender. This is not about trying harder or making resolutions. It is about giving our lives over to a faithful God who offers mercy for the past, grace for today, and hope for the future as we walk into the new year with Him.

Christmas is more than a celebration of a birth long ago—it is an invitation to experience new life today. In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Grant walks through the promise, anticipation, and arrival of Jesus, the long-awaited Savior. From prophetic announcements to a humble manger, we see how God fulfilled His plan to come near, identify with us, and redeem us.This message reminds us that Jesus is fully God and fully man—the Lamb of God without sin—who came not only to save us, but to walk with us in our brokenness, weakness, and fear. No matter your story, background, or current situation, this Christmas message declares a powerful truth: Jesus came for you. A Child is born, a Son is given, and His gift still changes lives today.If you're ready to take the next step in your faith or want to learn more about Liberty, click here: https://libertylive.church/connect/

Pastor Daniel looks at the life and birth of John the Baptist in Luke chapter 1, revealing how God works through impossible circumstances to accomplish His purposes. John’s arrival ended centuries of silence and signaled that God was once again speaking and moving among His people. John’s mission was clear: to call people to repentance and point them to Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Pastor Daniel challenges us to move beyond religious routine and truly behold Christ, responding with faith, repentance, and renewed trust in the Savior we celebrate this Christmas season.

What do you do when God’s promises feel delayed and His plan doesn’t make sense? In this message from Genesis 12–22, Pastor Zac explores the story of Abraham and Sarah and the long-awaited birth of Isaac, reminding us that God often works through impossible circumstances and seasons of waiting to grow our faith. When answers feel unclear, we are invited to trust God’s word and walk by faith one step at a time. This story ultimately points us beyond one miracle birth to a greater hope for the world. Through promise, perseverance, and fulfillment, we see God’s plan unfolding exactly as He intended. From disbelief to joy, this message reminds us that nothing is too hard for the Lord and that God is always faithful to do what He has promised.

Jesus’ heart has always been to “gather the people” so they can hear His Word, experience His presence, and be changed forever. In this message from Deuteronomy 31:12, Pastor Grant reminds us that while methods may change, the mission of reaching and teaching people for Jesus never does. As we celebrate the grand opening of our Smithfield campus and look ahead to Christmas Eve services, we’re challenged to pray with anticipation, invite others, and make room for those who need the hope of Christ. Through the powerful story of Woody—a man whose life was completely transformed by grace—Pastor Grant shows that no one is beyond God’s reach. This message encourages us to move past complacency and embrace joy, love, and bold faith as we partner with God to change lives, communities, and the world for Jesus Christ.

Jesus said the gospel would be proclaimed to every nation before the end comes, and Matthew 24:14 gives us a powerful picture of God’s heart for the world. This verse reveals the depth of His love for every people group and reminds us that the mission of the church is bigger than our comfort, our routines, or our borders. Changing the world begins by understanding who God is calling us to reach, what message we carry, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to be His witnesses wherever we are. This message calls us to step into that mission with urgency and obedience. From our neighborhoods filled with the nations to the unreached people groups in the 10/40 Window, God invites His church to pray, give, go, and use their everyday lives to make Jesus known. We are placed in this generation with unprecedented opportunity, and the time to respond is now.

What does it take to truly change a community for Jesus Christ? In Acts 1 and Acts 9, we see a church shaped by a holy fear of God, strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit, and committed to reaching the people around them. Their lives reflected a deep awareness of God’s holiness, a dependence on His presence, and a willingness to be bold witnesses wherever He placed them. God used ordinary believers to bring extraordinary change, and He still works the same way today. This message invites us to live with reverence, courage, and Spirit-filled obedience. When we walk in the fear of the Lord, rely on the Holy Spirit, and take responsibility for reaching our communities, God multiplies the impact. As we pray for and invite the one God places on our hearts, He uses our witness to transform lives, strengthen churches, and move His gospel forward in ways only He can.

Acts chapter 9 gives us one of the most powerful pictures of a changed life in all of Scripture. In this message, Pastor Grant walks through Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus and shows how God completely transformed a man who once persecuted Christians into someone who boldly proclaimed Christ. Through the themes of envision, revision, division, and provision, we see how God redirects our plans, opens our eyes, and repurposes our past for His glory. This message reminds us that God still changes lives today. No one is too far gone, no story is too broken, and no heart is too hard for the grace of Jesus. Saul’s transformation encourages us to trust God’s vision for our lives and to believe that He can do the same life–changing work in us.

Elisha’s story is a reminder that God’s power is never limited and His presence is never absent. In 2 Kings 6–8 and 13, we see faith that stands firm when surrounded, speaks truth when hope seems gone, and keeps going when it would be easier to give up. Through each moment, God proves that His strength is greater than our struggles and His promises still stand. This message encourages us to live with courage, boldness, and perseverance. When we choose faith over fear, share the good news with others, and keep pressing forward in obedience, God fills us with a double portion of His Spirit and works in ways that only He can.

Life is full of moments that leave us wondering what to do next, but God often uses our questions to lead us to His miracles. In 2 Kings 4–6, the prophet Elisha shows that when we bring our needs, our lives, and even our losses to God, He can transform them in ways we never expect. Poison becomes nourishment, scarcity becomes abundance, pride gives way to healing, and what was lost is found again. This message reminds us that miracles often begin with obedience and faith. When we put God first, trust His Word, and follow His direction—even when it doesn’t make sense—He shows Himself faithful. No matter what you’re facing today, God still provides, restores, and performs miracles for those who look to Him.
