Pastor Jeff began our study of the book of Matthew this past Sunday. His focus scripture passage was Matthew 3:15. He emphasized that as followers of Christ we have a mandate from God to walk in obedience. John the Baptist and Joseph, two of the main characters in the first three chapters of this gospel, exemplified how important it is to "do what God tells you to do." In order to walk in that tru...

Pastor Jeff concluded our study of the book of Colossians this past Sunday. His focus scripture passage was Colossians 4:5b. He reminded us that, as followers of Christ we have a mandate from God to make the most of our time. In order to walk in that truth, you must strive to be prayerful, thankful, watchful and fruitful. While each of these processes has enormous merit, it is particularly importa...

FreeWay was blessed to receive the word from a young seminary student, Mr. Landon Moss on this past Sunday. His focus scripture passage was Ephesians 1:11-14. He reminded us that once we accept Christ, we receive an "inheritance." This inheritance is not like what we normally think of as a future compensation that has a limited value. Our inheritance in Christ is immediate and is guaranteed or "se...

Elder Carl Sharperson ministered the Word at FreeWay on this past Sunday utilizing the topic, Wait on the Lord. The focus scripture passage Isaiah 40: 27-31 emphasizes the many benefits associated with being patient with God. Just in case we were unsure of "what to do" as we are waiting, Elder Sharperson outlined specific practices that help us during this difficult time. Most of these admonitions...

Pastor Jeff continued the study of the book of Colossians this Sunday. He emphasized Colossians 3:22-25 and encouraged us to be mindful of the motive behind how we conduct ourselves on a daily basis. Since, our God gave his best for us, we should make it our aim to do our best for him in our work, relationships, giving, etc. Our daily activities should not be focused simply on meeting our needs or...

Pastor Jeff continued the study of the book of Colossians this Sunday. He emphasized Colossians 3:16 and admonished us to make it our aim for God's word to become a vital part of who we are. He noted that once the word becomes second nature to us, we can't help but worship God. The word "dwell" mans to remain to "stay right there." God's word should be with us at all times. Does the Bible dwell in...

Brother Justin Carter continued the study of the book of Colossians this Sunday. He emphasized Colossians 3:8 that reminds us to rid ourselves of those things that are not pleasing to God. In order to fulfill this mandate, we must guard our hearts and not allow the world to be the matrix for our conduct. Paul clearly juxtaposed those things that are pleasing to God versus those that are not. Our g...

Pastor Jeff continued the study of the book of Colossians this Sunday. He emphasized Colossians 3:3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. In the very beginning of the message, Pastor Jeff reminded us that Christians must eat "spiritual vegetables" often to grow stronger. The entire book of Colossians is foundational Christian values that are difficult to put in practice on...

Pastor Jeff continued the study of the book of Colossians this Sunday. He emphasized Colossians 2:6-7 where Paul is admonishing Christians to walk in Christ despite evil men trying to persuade them to denounce the supremacy of Christ. God lives in us through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers us to stay stand firm and represent Him each and every day. Are you rooted and grounded in Christ t...

Pastor Jeff continued the study of the book of Colossians this Sunday. He emphasized Colossians 1:127 where Paul is reminding Christians that God lives in us through the Holy Spirit. Once we embrace that fact, we will begin to exemplify those characteristics that mark a true believer. We will be fierce, fruitful and understand that God will finish the work he started in us. What a powerful encoura...

Pastor Jeff began a new study of the book of Colossians this Sunday. He emphasized Colossians 1:10 where Paul is admonishing the church at Colosse to denounce the false teachers that deny the truth of the lordship of Jesus Christ. Then, focus upon walking upright and allowing your fruitful work to please Him. Additionally, recognize the fact that according to verse 21, we were alienated from God a...

Sister Casey Sharperson was led to share the importance of understanding the opportunity, the options and outcomes that God provides his children. We all have unique gifts and talents and we should be empowered to boldly accept them. We are reminded to take an active role in our faith walk instead of waiting for perfect circumstances. What was the last thing God asked you to do? Have you done it?...

Pastor Jeff Davis was led to preach from Phillipians 2:12 about our individual responsibility to prioritize our relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One of the primary ways you can do that is to be painfully honest with yourself. The Holy Spirit that lives "in you" will show you the right path, will you choose to follow Him or your own way? No one can choose for you, you have to do...

Our choices lead directly to the prosperity we experience in Christ. Coming from Deuteronomy 13, today's message focuses on cutting out those that seek to separate us from God. God has given all of us the freedom to choose whom we follow. By choosing Him though, we are being wise in our choices.

As Christians we should be enjoying healthy and functional relationships. The primary premise for this is to consider others before ourselves. This is very difficult to do without understanding how our God loved us. He considered us above all else when he sent Jesus to die for us, yet while we where in sin. Romans 5:8 Selah Romans15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak a...

In today’s society, people are not committed to being about God’s business. God’s business is not easy! It can be hard sometimes but it is ALWAYS fulfilling. If you will allow God to transform you, you will grow continually in your walk with Christ. Even Jesus grew so must we! Luke 2:52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Selah

On Sunday, we learned that we are called to teach the Gospel through Christ Jesus. We often are hampered by questions like, "am I good enough?" or "am I qualified?" Verse 2 tells us that we are all qualified through Christ Jesus. He can use all of our strengths and abilities and where we are week, He is strong. We are always teaching somebody else because someone is always watching. Whether we are...

Pastor Jeff was led to preach from 2 Timothy 1:7 emphasizing that timidity is not a spirit driven personality trait for Christians. He admonished us to encourage one another to be bold in declaring that we are believers of the Lord Jesus Christ. This boldness is derived from the fact that God's power is at work in us. (Ephesians 3:20) We understand that we can not do anything in and of ourselves b...

Pastor Jeff was led to preach from Joshua 1 emphasizing that our God always finishes what he starts! He has already given us the victory, we just need to walk in the courage he has put within us. This courage focuses on three primary areas. We must be courageous about God's promise, power and presence. And, this courage emerges from His word. This is how we validate God's plan for our life. Philip...

Pastor Jeff was led to preach from Matthew 6:1 encouraging us to determine our true motivation for all types of giving. He asked the simple question, "Why do you do what you do?" As Christians we understand that our "reward" for good works done in secret will be far above what we could ever expect in return. In fact, in today's world, acceptance and "likes" are vastly important. However, we should...

FreeWay celebrated Independence Day via a Zoom service. Pastor Jeff was led to talk about "True Freedom." He asked the question, "Are you free? How do you know?" As Christians we understand that true freedom does not mean that you can do whatever you desire. Our freedom is rooted in the premise of Galatians 5:13, "You my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to...

Pastor Jeff was led by the Spirit to preach from Romans 8:31. He utilized this famous passage to remind us that no matter what situation we are facing, God is with us and he will deliver us. He talked about Daniel in the lion''s den and how Daniel's loyalty and radical obedience shut the mouths of the lions. We must strive to practice those characteristics in our own lives, loyalty and obedience w...

Elder Carl Sharperson blessed us with a timely Father's Day message. He talked about the importance of acknowledging God in the big and small things. In fact, our aim should be to consult God regarding every aspect of our lives. This is a formula for definitive success. And, it will be pleasing to both your heavenly and earthly father. Proverbs 3:5-6 Selah

Pastor Jeff was led by the Spirit to preach from Ephesians 2. He reminded us that we are God’s workmanship or master piece and he created us to do good. In today’s difficult times, we acknowledge every day that God is in us and working through us. This enables us to acknowledge those in need and celebrate others good works. Proverbs 19:17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord. Selah

Pastor Jeff was led by the Spirit to preach from Psalms 144:15. He reminded us that the word happy means "o how blessed." The Christian is indeed happy all the time because our happiness is eternal. Once you are saved, you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This gift enables and gives you the power to make God Lord of your life. This is the root of happiness, knowing that you IF you are obedient...
