SECRET LOVERS PT 1

What if the greatest threat to your relationship with God isn't something obvious? In Secret Lover, Pastor Robe Pierre walks through 1 Timothy 6:9–10 and exposes one of the most subtle idols of our time: the love of money. Most people would never say they love money more than God. But Scripture teaches that what has our heart is revealed not just by what we say, but by how we live. Through Paul's warning to Timothy, this message challenges us to examine whether money has quietly taken first place in our lives. How do you know if money has become a secret lover? • Contentment disappears and more is never enough. • Integrity becomes negotiable. • Money becomes your source of security. • Generosity feels like loss. This message reminds us that money is not evil, but the love of money has the power to pull us away from our faith, distort our priorities, and compete for the place that belongs to God alone. Money promises peace, security, identity, and joy—but only Jesus can truly provide those things. If you've ever struggled with comparison, greed, financial anxiety, trust, generosity, or finding your worth in what you have, this message will challenge you to put a mirror in front of your heart and ask a simple question: Who truly has first place? Because money is a tool. It is not a god. It is not a savior. It is not a master. Jesus is.

SECRET LOVER PT 2

What does your money say about your heart? In Secret Lovers Part 2: Wisdom Bestows Well-Being, Pastor Robe Pierre unpacks Proverbs 3:1–10 and reveals that tithing is about far more than money—it is about trust. Throughout Proverbs 3, Solomon repeatedly points his son back to the heart. Before he ever talks about wealth, he talks about obedience, faithfulness, surrender, and trust. Because God is not after your money—God is after your heart. This message explores two powerful truths: • Tithing begins with your heart. • Tithing reveals who you trust. Many people trust God with their eternity but struggle to trust Him with their finances. Yet Scripture teaches that every act of obedience strengthens our faith and trains our hearts to depend on God. Through biblical wisdom, practical illustrations, and powerful personal stories, this message challenges us to stop leaning on our own understanding and start trusting God fully—even when the math doesn't seem to make sense. Because tithing is not about controlling God. It's about trusting Him. Every act of generosity weakens fear and strengthens faith. Every act of obedience adds to your trust account. And every time you put God first, you are teaching your heart that He is your source, your provider, and your security. If you've ever wrestled with trusting God in the area of finances, this message will encourage you to take a deeper step of faith and discover what happens when you truly put Him first. Because what God is asking from you can never compare to what He has in store for you.

WHAT KIND OF CHURCH IS THIS? PT 3

What kind of church is this? In this message, we dive into Acts 2:1–4 and discover what it truly means to be a Spirit-filled church.   When the Holy Spirit filled the upper room at Pentecost, everything changed. The Spirit of God didn’t just create a moment—it created transformation, power, unity, boldness, and revival. This message reminds us that the Holy Spirit works both inwardly and outwardly. Inwardly, He transforms our character through the fruit of the Spirit. Outwardly, He empowers believers to impact people, reach cities, and build the Kingdom of God. A Spirit-filled church is not built on hype or emotion alone. It is marked by:  Love.  Power.  Prayer.  Boldness.  Transformation.  Community. When the Holy Spirit moves, people are changed, families are restored, miracles happen, and lives are drawn closer to Jesus. This is not just a gathering.  This is not just tradition. This is a Spirit-filled church. ABOUT US  At Freedom City, we exist to empower you to live in God’s freedom—discovering purpose and making a difference in His name.

What happens when the church prays? In **What Kind of Church Is This? Part 2, we dive into Acts 12:5–7 and uncover the power of a praying church.  Peter was chained in prison while a principality worked against the church. But while Peter was sleeping, the church was praying. And as they prayed, heaven responded. This message reminds us that prayer is not passive—it is warfare. Some battles are emotional, some are mental, but some battles are spiritual. And there are things that only break when the church begins to pray. Through Acts 12, we see three powerful realities: When the church prays, heaven shows up. When the church prays, chains break. When the church prays, gates open. Chains represent bondage. Gates represent restriction. And this message reminds us that God not only wants to free His people—He wants to give them access to new territory, healing, opportunity, and breakthrough. This is not just a gathering. This is not religious entertainment. The church is the most powerful institution on earth… when it prays. **Freedom City, this is a praying church.** --- ABOUT US At Freedom City, we exist to empower you to live in God’s freedom—discovering purpose and making a difference in His name.

A WEAK MOTHER'S STRENGTH

What do you do when you feel weak? In this Mother’s Day message, “A Weak Mother’s Strength,” we explore the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4:25–30 and the powerful truth that weakness does not disqualify us from experiencing God’s strength.  So many women carry the weight of life silently—showing up exhausted, smiling while grieving, and trying to hold everything together while feeling empty inside. But this message reminds us that God does not require perfection or endless strength from us. In fact, some of the deepest encounters with God happen in our weakest moments. Through the life of the Shunammite woman, we learn three powerful truths: Weak mothers are strengthened through community. Weak mothers are strengthened through authenticity. And God always shows up for weak mothers. This message is an encouragement to anyone who feels overwhelmed, burdened, exhausted, or spiritually weak. You do not have to carry it alone. God’s strength is made perfect in weakness, and He is able to meet you right where you are. Because weakness is not the end of your story. It may be the very place where God’s strength begins to shine the brightest.
