Pastor Jeff preached a timely New Year's Eve message on this past Sunday. He emphasized that we will need God's supernatural help or strength in order to be successfull in the coming year. The story of Sampson teaches us invaluable principles related to that power and strength. In Judges 16:28 after Sampson had been demoralized at the hands of the Phillistines, he prayed and asked God for strength...

Paster Jeff preached from a thought-provoking topic on this past Sunday. Have you ever thought about the fact that there must be a level of humility to have fiath in God? He recounted the story from Matthew Chapter 8 of the centurion's request for Jesus to heal his servant. While the man held a powerful office, he acknowledged that Jesus was more powerful and asked for help. Specifically, he told...

Pastor Jeff continued our church-wide study of the book of James on this past Sunday. He was led to remind us that no matter the circumstances in which you find yourself, God deserves your praise. Even in discouragement. Psalm 42:5 admonishes us to "..put our hope in God and yet praise him..." Additionally, if you are struggling to find legitimate reasons to praise Him, simply recall what he has a...

Brother Justin Carter delivered a powerful, essential word to us on this past Sunday. His scripture reference was James 5: 10-14 emphasizing the necessity of prayer. Prayer is not reserved just for times of trouble. As Christians we must pray all the time in order to know what God's will is for us. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this...

Pastor Jeff continued our church-wide study of the book of James on this past Sunday. He highlighted Chapter 4 and the importance of seaking God's will for your life and walking in that trajectory as much as you can. Sometimes, we can know the right thing to do and make a conscious choice not to do it. James tells us in Chapter 4:17 " If anyone, then knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do...

Paster Jeff continued our church-wide study of the book of James on this past Sunday. He highlighted Chapter 3 and the importance of what comes out of your mouth. In fact, verses 5-7 declare that our tongue can disrupt our entire life. James 3:7 It corrupts the whole body; sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. Therefore, one of our primary spiritual goals...

The overall theme for this study is derived from James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will recieve the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. This week Paster Jeff emphasized James 2:14-26 reminding us that true faith is demo...

This past Sunday Brother Justin Carter blessed us with a stirring word originating from James Chapter 2. He referenced how Abraham enjoyed a deep relationship and true happiness because of his faith in God James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham beleived God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. (NIV) This principle is true for us too...

The overall theme for this study is derived from James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

The overall theme for this study is derived from James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. We should all be striving to receive the crown of life which indicates spiritual m...

On Sunday, September 3rd, Sister Casey Sharperson delivered a message entitled "Turn Back" that explored the life of King Hezekiah. First, we were reminded to reflect on your history of faith - what is your testimony? How has God shown his glory in your life? Second, when you fall short, repent, and turn away from what is separating you from God (ie. sin). Third, request of God what ONLY He can do...

Pastor Jeff preached a relevant message for all on this past Sunday. It is so important for us to carefully consider the folks we allow in our inner circle. Such was the case with Moses. Yes, he needed help to lead God's people but not just any kind of help. His father-in-law Jethro instructed him to choose carefully. He said in Exodus 18:21 But select capable men from all the people -- men who fe...

Brother Justin Carter preached a powerful message on this past Sunday. The focus scripture was Lamentations 3:26 reminding us that " it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord ." Our lives are loud, distracting, and overwhelming. With all that is going on, we lose sight of God as we move from one task to the next. If we seek moments of quiet solitude, we can hear the voice of God. In...

Pastor Jeff preached from the book of Colossians on this past Sunday about how to actualize the peace of God in your everyday life. Once we understand that God's peace is a fruit of the Holy Spirit that is not dependent upon circumstances, it will rule in our hearts. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15 The firs...

Pastor Jeff preached about Moses and his intimate relationship with God on this past Sunday. He emphasized that this closenes gave Moses the credibility to ask God to relent. God was about to destroy the children of Israel after they made a false god of a golden calf. But then Moses prayed a "powerful prayer," reminding God of his promises to his people. Exodus 32:1(NIV) But Moses sought the favor...

Pastor Jeff preached about transformation on this past Sunday. This is a fundamental truth for Christians that have named Jesus as their Savior. Our aim should be to "look" more like Him every day. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV However, Pastor J...

FreeWay was blessed to experience a tangible manifestation of God's presence as Pastor Jeff was preaching last Sunday. Therefore, he did not finish his message. God led Pastor Jeff to deliver the rest of the message this past Sunday. The story of Adam and Eve in the garden remained the primary reference to inappropriate behavior when we fall into sin. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve did not take time...

Pastor Jeff blessed us with another profound word on this past Sunday. He used the story of Adam and Eve in the garden as a reference to inappropriate behavior when we fall into sin. Most of us, just like Adam and Eve, attempt to hide from God. Proverbs 28:13 reminds us, "Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy." We are admonished to r...

Pastor Jeff preached a life altering word on this past Sunday regarding our relationship with God. In fact, he asked this simple question, “Are you closer to God than any one or anything else in your life?" The focus scripture was James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Most of us desire to grow in our walk with God but don’t make the necessary changes to do so. One of the primar...

Sister Casey Sharperson shared a message this past Sunday that centered around the book of Joshua and provided a moment for us to observe the process the Israelites went on in order to finally rest in the promised land. We were reminded of three points: Prepare for the promise, persevere through the process, and Praise in the promise. "'... Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do no...

Pastor Jeff preached a powerful message on this past Sunday focusing on the familiar story of Abraham and Isaac. He discussed the progress of Abraham from faith, to obedience and finally righteousness. As Abraham validated his belief in God by preparing to sacrifice Isaac, his unwavering faith led to him being declared righteous. Galatians 3:6 So also Abraham believed God, and it was credited to h...

Pastor Jeff preached a necessary word on Sunday about the utmost importance of embracing the power of the Holy Spirit. He used Galatians Chapter 5 as the emphasis passage to remind as that we are to strive daily to walk by the Spirit. If you are not filled with the Spirit you will become sad, powerless, and out of control. On the contrary, Galatians 5:22 declares, "But the fruit of the Spirit is l...

Pastor Jeff preached a powerful word on this past Sunday, identifying an issue we fail to address … especially in our walk with Christ. We “talk a good game” but our actions do not validate our speech. In fact, we can know that what we are doing is wrong, but we will call it “right” to ease our guilty consciousness. Pastor Jeff focused on James 1:19-25. Verse 22 reminds us, “ Do not merely listen...

Pastor Jeff chose Daniel as his sermon subject on this past Sunday. He talked about that despite strong opposition from King Darius, Daniel chose to continue to pray and give God the highest praise. Then, due to his unwavering commitment, King Darius began to pray for Daniel as well. Do we have the resolve to continue to serve God no matter the obstacles? Are we having that type of impact on other...

Brother Justin Carter ministered at FreeWay on this past Sunday and the word was powerful and relevant. The focus scripture was Deuteronomy 10:12 And now Israel, what does the Lord your God, ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. God chose us for his own divine purpose. And, His desi...
