  1. What Could God Build Through You? - Build This House | Derek Dale - FRAIS Church

    What could God build through you if you were willing to say yes? In this message, Pastor Derek Dale reminds us that God has always used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. From Paul's teaching on building God's church to Nehemiahs's mission to rebuild Jerusalem's walls, we see…

  2. Stretching is the Start - By Faith | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    Sometimes faith requires us to move before we feel ready. It asks us to trust God in the tension, take Him at His word, and surrender the need to know exactly how everything will work out. In this message, we learn what it means to stretch our faith and trust in Jesus even when our circumstances...

  3. In It With Me - By Faith | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    Faith is developed in the dark, stretched in the silence, and strengthened in the waiting. Trusting God even when you can't see what He's doing.

  4. IDK About This - By Faith | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    Sometimes faith looks like stepping forward before you know exactly how everything will work out. Noah didn't have the full picture, but he trusted God and moved forward in obedience. This message challenges us to live by faith—not by what we can currently see, understand, or control.

  5. Call Me Peter | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    Have you ever felt insignificant, irrelevant, or incapable of being used by God? Peter was not the obvious choice. Yet Jesus called him, built him, and gave him purpose.

  6. Broken To Chosen - Lost & Found | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    What if the place where you feel broken is actually where God is preparing you to be chosen? In this message we read about Saul’s encounter with Jesus and how it completely changes the direction of his life. Just because you’re going through it doesn’t mean God isn’t already working on it.

  7. Only A Piece Of The Story - Lost & Found | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    Sometimes what we’re experiencing feels like the whole story—but it’s only a piece of it. In Acts 27. Paul and those with him face a storm that seems to leave them without hope. But God was still working, even when they couldn’t see the full picture. This message reminds us that our perspective…

  13. Together Again - Summer at FRAIS | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    We were never meant to do life alone. In this message, we look at the power of community and the importance of staying connected.

  16. When You Open Your Mouth - The Call Of The Wild | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    Words are never neutral. They have the power to build up or tear down.

God is calling us to be intentional with what we say. Our...

  17. Living Faith - The Call Of The Wild | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    Your faith is not meant to stay hidden. In this message, we learn what it means to have faith that isn’t just spoken—but seen.

    Life will test your faith—but God never called you to run from the pressure. He has called you to stand our ground.

  21. It Happens Here - The River Wild | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    As God moves, He invites us to go deeper. Fatih grows when we're willing to step further into what He's doing—even when it feels uncertain. In Ezekiel's vision, the water begins as just a trickle—but as it flows, it deepens, rises, and becomes bigger. What if the thing God is doing in your life...

  22. This is New to Me - The River Wild | Sammy Gomes - FRAIS Church

    Following Jesus will take you to places that may feel unfamiliar. Why? Because He’s not calling you to stay where you are— He’s leading you into something new. In this message, we look at Naaman’s story and discover that breakthrough doesn’t come through control, comfort, or perfection—it comes...

  23. Renewed at the River - The River Wild | Joey Evans - FRAIS Church
