To Be Loved
Ever wonder why it's so easy to slip into a cycle of earning your worth, constantly trying to fix your mistakes, and hiding behind self-righteousness? We've all been there—trying to measure up, feeling the weight of our failures, and wondering if we are truly lovable. But what if the secret to a...
-
Love, Defined.
What if our understanding of love has been missing the mark all along? In the opener of this four-part series on love, we break down the fundamental differences between human affection and divine love. While ordinary love relies on fleeting emotions, temporary attractions, and mutual benefit, the...
-
Brick By Brick
Guest speaker Pastor Jordan Hodges joins us for Kingdom Builders weekend to unpack what Scripture teaches about generosity. Diving into the biblical foundations of the Tithe, the Offering, and Alms, Pastor Jordan breaks down how aligning our finances with God's heart transforms our spiritual walk.

Unfiltered Purpose
Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions, letting life pass you by while you watch from the sidelines? In a world that constantly pushes us to conform to its noise, distractions, and artificial quick-fixes, it’s easy to lose sight of who we were actually created to be. When we step…

The Mechanism of Conformity
How can we stay grounded in faith in a digital, fast-paced world? How do we identify subtle distractions, anxiety triggers, and cultural pressures? By understanding the power of your daily choices and free will we can move from passive conformity to true spiritual transformation. As you listen,...
-
The Proposal, The Problem, & The Profound Solution
In a world dominated by constant notifications and digital noise, what does it actually look like to slow down and live out a deep, authentic faith? Drawing from Romans 12:1, this conversation cuts through the legalism and explores what it really means to be "holy" and "pleasing to God". Instead…

The Recipe For Spiritual Growth
Want a spiritual life that actually changes you? It isn't a secret—it’s a formula. Looking at the explosion of the early Church in Acts, real growth always comes down to three non-negotiables: the right people, the right place, and the right season of time. If you're tired of going through the...
-
Educator Sundeeee
As back to school season roles around, we wanted to have a special Sunday service to honor our local educators! If you are an educator, we want to take the time to say thank you for what you do. Freedom Center Church is here for you!
-
The Solution to our Search for Significance
When we read scripture, it can be tempting to compare ourselves to David or Moses or any of the 'famous people'. It can be easy to compare ourselves to all the main characters in our favorite TV shows or movies. It can be easy to "name drop" significant people that we may know... and each of…

The Cure For Christian Consumerism
Have we turned the Church into a product to consume? In a culture where we can shop for churches the same way we shop on Amazon, it's easy to show up for the music, the preaching, or the atmosphere—and completely miss Jesus in the process. This message will challenge us to step away from chasing...
-
A Live Bible Study?!
Have you ever wondered how to study the Bible? Today Pastor Jim teaches us in real time, completely on the spot. You'll have to listen in order to find out what the study was on.
-
Busy, But Thankful
Anxiety lives in tomorrow. Gratitude lives in today. We live in a world that keeps our minds divided, distracted, and running on high alert. But the answer to burnout isn’t just doing less—it’s being intentional about who we are focusing on. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the anatomy of...
-
Help!
Most of us spend our lives trying to prove we’re strong enough—for God, for our family, and for ourselves. Peter did the same. But after failure, shame, and returning to his old life, Jesus met him with grace instead of condemnation. If you’ve been carrying the weight of trying to keep it all...
-
The Yes Before The Question
Baptism is saying “yes” to Jesus before you know the question He’s asking. When Jesus called Simon, Andrew, James, and John by the Sea of Galilee, He didn't offer a roadmap—He offered a relationship. Following Him meant leaving their security, their family businesses, and everything they knew...
-
The Math That Doesn't Math
When we give away what we have, logic tells us we should have less—but God's economy operates on entirely different principles. Solomon discovered this truth not through theoretical theology but through careful observation of life itself, watching ants store provisions and noticing how generous...
-
Teach You, Show You
There's an app for everything... and in this day and age there's almost a bible for everything. We say we don't have time to read the Bible, but really that's a lie. Audio bibles, comic bibles, bibles narrated by your favorite celebrities, multiple translations... you name it. So the question now...
-
Sit in His Presence, Then Be Present.
When was the last time that you took a moment to just be still in the presence of Jesus? For many of us, it has been far too long. We are in such a hurry all the time that we have no margin for peace. Jesus promises us an abundant life... so many of us squander that simply because we don't...
-
Gather. Grow. GO!
We have the opportunity to make this the best summer Freedom Center Church has ever experienced... and Pastor Josh has the vision for how we do it. We are going to GATHER together, in the name of Jesus. We are going to GROW, deeper in our faith and relationship with Christ, and we are going to…

$tewardship
What is money? Are we allowed to spend it? Should we save it? Do we have to work? Are we allowed to invest it? SOMEBODY HELP! This message is guaranteed to be the most fun teaching you have heard all year, or your money back.
-
The Gift that Many Ignore
Some say it's great. Some say it's bad. Some call it heavenly! Some call it demonic. Some say it is for today. Some say it ended with the death of the last apostle. What are we talking about you ask??? THE GIFT OF TONGUES! Pastor Jim Wiegand walks us through what scripture has to say about it.
-
Healing, Miracles, and Prophecy... Oh My!
Supernatural gifts aren't mystical or scary or spooky—they're simply normal Christianity, as natural to believers as forgiveness itself. Pastor Jim breaks down the gifts of healings, miracles, and prophecy emphasizing that if we've received God's mercy, we're qualified for God's power. It's not...
-
Mmmm Cookies!
Like ingredients in a cookie that taste terrible alone but create something beautiful together, our individual experiences of God's faithfulness combine to reveal the immeasurable fullness of His love. We're reminded that sometimes we don't need God's hands to fix everything immediately; we…
more -
We Have a Caddy?
Intuition? Luck? Coincidence? OR Holy Spirit... Chances are the Holy Spirit has given you gifts you have yet to acknowledge. When we go through life we face many different scenarios and when we are unsure how to respond, it is important that we take a moment to ask Holy Spirit for help. Just like...
-
Baptized in Power
The Holy Spirit isn't a relic of church history; He's the active, present power available to transform us from thermometers that merely reflect the world's temperature into thermostats that change it. We're challenged to receive this gift with open hands, understanding that the initial evidence…
more -
Remember Your First Love
Falling out of love is not an instantaneous event, but rather a slow, gradual, process. Is Jesus still our first love? Is He still our first thought in the morning? Is He our last thought before we fall asleep? Pastor Jared Dietrich - a Michigan native turned Mongolian Missionary - joins us to...
-
The Next Logical Step...
What happens after we meet Jesus and accept Him as Savior? Drawing from the Book of Acts, we discover a consistent pattern throughout the early church: when people encountered Christ and believed, they were immediately baptized. This wasn't just religious ritual—it was the natural next step in a...
-
Resurrection Sunday!
There is a common misconception that God's commands are restrictive, arguing instead that they lead to abundant life. Despite what we think, love is not a feeling but rather a costly, consistent, committed choice to do what's best for someone else. God's love for humanity is demonstrated through...
-
Prophetic Prayer...
What should we pray about? To what degree to our prayers move the heart of God? God has entrusted His people with authority to see His kingdom come through prayer, despite feelings of inadequacy or past disappointments. We need to trust God even when prayers seem unanswered, recognizing that…
more -
"...but who are YOU?"
In Acts 19, demons say something chilling: “Jesus I know, and Paul I know… but who are you?” This message explores the difference between knowing Jesus and merely using His name. Through passages like Matthew 7, James 4, and John 14, we’ll uncover why prayer without relationship, power without...
-
Just Say Something...
What if prayer isn’t about eloquence—but honesty? Scripture shows us that some of the most powerful prayers were only a few words long. A prophet trapped in a fish. A disciple sinking in the sea. A criminal dying on a cross. None of them prayed perfectly. But they prayed—and God heard them.
-
The Foundation for Your Soul
"We as humans grossly overestimate what we can get done in a year, and we grossly underestimate what we can get done in a decade." What have you established as the foundation of your soul? God's promises are yes and amen -- but life still happens... Our foundation determines whether or not we…

"if I forgive them, they win..."
"if I forgive them, they win..." Have you ever had this thought? Does forgiveness mean victory to those who have trespassed against us? Mrs. Dena Wiegand shares her powerful testimony of forgiveness and the victory of Jesus. This is a heavy message with sensitive topics, listener discretion is...
-
What Was God Thinking? Understanding God's Design for Marriage
What was God thinking when He created marriage? Marriage is God's genius method for transforming us into Christ-likeness. Men have a deep-seated need to be believed in and respected by their wives—a need they cannot meet themselves. Conversely, women need to be cherished above all else, to know...
-
Hands Open, Full of Expectation
What feels like devastating loss may actually be God positioning us for the breakthrough we've been praying for. When we close our fists around what we have, we prevent God from giving us what He wants us to have. But when we live with open hands, we declare our trust that God sees the beginning...
-
THE DEAD BECOME ALIVE AS THE ALIVE, LIVE
Talk is cheap. If we truly believe that people need the Gospel of Jesus Christ, why are we not sharing it? If that question feels blunt... good. We are the light of the world... let's make sure we are walking worthy of that calling. Pastor Carl Jones returns in part one of our new series; "Open...
-
DON'T MISS IT.
It is evident that the world is currently experiencing a mighty move of God. Holy Spirit is breaking out everywhere. On Vision Sunday, we have one simple question... are you going to miss the moment? It is time to Press in to the things of the Lord and Press on in where He is leading us.
-
Order Before Overflow
Faith is radical, calling us to walk on water and give beyond our ability. Wisdom, on the other hand, reminds us to get a job, avoid debt, and save little by little. The tension between these two voices creates the space where God speaks most clearly. In week 3 of Vision Month, we are challenged…

Our Minutes, Matter.
Let's face it... time is fast and furious and we all wish there were more than 24 hours in a day! The hard truth is that we can't change the amount of minutes in a day -- but we can change how we manage those minutes. How can we grow in relationship with Jesus if we don't spend time with Him? How...
-
Press In & Press On
When praying into 2026, one phrase kept coming up; "Press In. Press On." What does it look like to press in to the Lord? What does it look like to press on in our faith? We don't want to miss the wave that God is sending us, but we also don't want to be too far ahead of it. Pastor Jim kicks off...
-
Buried. Raised. Declared.
Baptism isn’t a ritual for the perfect — it’s obedience for the redeemed. In this message, we unpack why baptism isn’t about proving your faith, but proclaiming it. Why Jesus Himself stepped into the water. Why the early church treated baptism as essential — not optional. And why going under the...

For God So Loved The World | Part II
What is the greatest gift you have ever received? Wouldn't it be crazy if you hadn't opened it? Can you imagine the joy you would have missed out on? This is exactly what we do if we choose to not accept salvation. Jesus is the greatest gift of all! Join of for part two of our new series; "For…

Miracle Sunday
Salvation can become stale when we stop using it and sharing it with others. Every believer is appointed by God as His messenger with full authority and power. In our final Kingdom Builder's Sunday of 2025, Pastor Brennen takes us on an in depth study into Luke 10. The message culminates in a...
-
For God So Loved The World | Part I
There is a transformative power that comes through living generously, and as believers we are called to live open-handed. Our perspective—whether we see the world through eyes of scarcity or abundance—determines our spiritual prosperity and effectiveness. When we live generously like Jesus,...

Gratitude | Part IV
Gratitude | Part IV by Freedom Center Church
-
Gratitude | Part III
Repentance. What is it? That word seems to mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Biblically, to repent just means to change your mind. In short, repentance is saying "I was wrong, God was right and He loves me enough to pay for every wrong I have ever done for all time through the gift of His...
-
Gratitude | Part II
Fighting spiritual battles with worldly weapons guarantees defeat. Worship declares God's rightful place in every situation and invites His intervention. Worship of who God is attracts what God does like nothing else we can do and victory is assured when we fight spiritual battles with spiritual...
-
Gratitude | Part I
In the midst of life's most brutal circumstances, we discover a transformative secret: gratitude isn't just a nice religious sentiment—it's the reset button for our souls. Thessalonians 5:16-18: rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances. These aren't suggestions for when...
-
PEOPLE?!? | PART IV
Is it ever okay for is to stop loving people? Do we have to forgive everybody? How do we protect our hearts? Pastor Josh Wiegand closes out our series, "PEOPLE?!?"
-
PEOPLE?!? | PART III
Love is not just a suggestion but a cornerstone of Christian faith. Loving each other within the body of Christ is the most powerful witness to the world of Jesus' reality. As believers we are challenged to forgive, bear with one another, and clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility,...
-
PEOPLE?!? | PART II
How should Christians should respond to injustice and hardship in the world? While our human instincts may lead us to seek revenge or harbor bitterness, God calls us to a higher standard. As believers, it is important to redirect our anger towards spiritual warfare against evil, to seek justice…
