WHAT KIND OF CHURCH IS THIS PT? 2

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.

WHAT KIND OF CHURCH IS THIS? PT 1

What type of church is this? In this message, we look at John 2:1–11 and the moment Jesus performed His first miracle at a wedding in Cana.  While everyone else was focused on the celebration, the servants were positioned to witness something deeper. As they served, they didn’t just observe the miracle—they carried it. This message challenges us to rethink what it means to follow Jesus. Serving isn’t about convenience or comfort. It requires humility, surrender, and the willingness to put others before yourself. Jesus Himself modeled this by choosing to serve even when it went against His own desires. We are reminded of three powerful truths: Servanthood overrides selfishness. Servants serve servants. Servants are surrounded by the miraculous. Some miracles are only experienced by those who choose to serve. The guests enjoyed the moment, but the servants knew where the miracle came from. If you want to see God move in a deeper way, don’t just watch—get in position. This is who we are. We are a serving type of church.

ITS COMEBACK SEASON PT 4

You’re back… but now what? In It’s Comeback Season Pt. 4: I’m Back… Now What?, we dive into 2 Corinthians 5:17 and unpack what it really means to step into a new season with God.   All month we’ve talked about coming back—healing, rising, moving forward. But once you’re here, the real question is: how do you function in this new season? This message reminds us that you are not an upgraded version of your old self—you are a completely new creation. The old life, old habits, old mindsets, and old patterns cannot come with you into what God is doing now. We also confront a hard truth: many people step into new seasons but stay connected to old things. And when you carry dead weight, it will slow you down, drain your energy, and rob you of the joy this new season is supposed to bring. God is doing something new. But in order to fully step into it, you have to let go of what no longer belongs. Your ability to move forward is tied to your ability to release what’s behind you. And once you do…  you’ll finally be able to see it. Behold… all things have become new.

IT'S COMEBACK SEASON PART 3

In It’s Comeback Season Pt. 3, Stephan Fequiere delivers a powerful message from Mark 5:25–45 that challenges how we view low seasons and difficult realities. Through the story of Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood, we are reminded that status doesn’t eliminate need, and low places don’t disqualify you from encountering Jesus. This message unpacks the truth that everything we are subjected to must still submit to God. We are encouraged to shift our perspective—from focusing on our reality to trusting God’s truth. Because when Jesus steps into a situation, even the lowest place can become the place where everything changes. One moment with Jesus can shift everything. It’s comeback season.
