Freedom Church Buckeye Podcast

Sunday, July 24th 2022 This week we talk about the beginning of the Church at Antioch and persecution of the Apostles with the death of James and the Arrest of Peter. We use these two events to talk about the labels that we put on ourselves and how we identify ourselves as well as the names that we look to live up to.

Sunday, July 17th 2022 F = Fruitful This week in our study of book of Acts we look at the Early Ministry of Peter that turned out to be very fruitful with many people getting saved...including the GENTILES for the very first time! We look at some of the things that Peter does in order to allow his ministry to be fruitful and figure out how we can best emulate that same equation.

Sunday, July 10th 2022 This week we look at the conversion of Saul on the Road to Damascus and examine the lengths that God will go to to get our attention.

Sunday, July 3rd 2022 As we continue our study of the Book of Acts we look at the story of the Ethiopian and Philip. There are such great lessons we can learn from Philip from how we should allow the Spirit to lead us to how to point everything back to Jesus. The church needs more and more Philips...Be a Philip.

Sunday, June 26th 2022 This week we look at Acts chapter 6 and 7 and discuss the idea of growth and development. As we find the early church at this stage in its life they are in the midst of major growth and development. What happens in these chapters and how the early church reacts is a great reminder of how we can approach our own grown and development in our own relationship with Jesus. Also... ALOT of Alliteration (hey...we did it again!).

Sunday, June 19th 2022 Today we look at the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 as well as the story of Achan in Joshua 6 and 7 to discuss the dangers of being fake with your spiritual life. We get reminders that although God is gracious and merciful he is serious about sin. And we look at all of the things in our lives that being fake can ruin.

Sunday, June 12th 2022 This week we study Acts 3 and 4 and how Peter and John were doing the work of Jesus Christ and then forced to be Bold and stand behind it. We look to their actions to help us be bold in similar circumstances.

Sunday, June 5th 2022 We celebrate Pentecost by covering the original day of Pentecost in Acts 2. We also break down the message that Peter gives on that day and talk about how tapped in to the Holy Spirit he was that day. We try to emulate that in our own lives!

Sunday, May, 29th 2022 We start a new series in the Book of Acts this week. We discuss how the early church was left with a mission to "Be Witnesses to the Ends of the Earth" and given essentially a blank slate for how to accomplish that. Most of how they do it is recorded in the Book of Acts so we study this book to see how they accomplished it and see how we can emulate that for our Church. As we look at Chapter 1 we study how the Apostles of Jesus got ready to jump into the action!

Sunday, May 22nd 2022 In the finale of our Freedom Values series we talk bout our final freedom value...disciple community. We talk about what discipleship means and how we want to go about doing it.

Sunday, May 15th 2022 After 3 weeks of talking about the Service aspect of the vision for Freedom Church we now shift to the Community aspect of the vision. This week we talk about Building a thriving Community within the Church. We use Hebrews 10:24-25 as our base for how we build community by Motivating, Meeting and Encouraging one another.

Sunday, May 8th 2022 This week we look at our 3rd and central Value at Freedom Church - Making Jesus Known to our community. We look at the story of Jesus approaching two men on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24 to discuss how Jesus make himself known to them fully. He met them where they were at, He taught from the scriptures and finally broke bread with them. We discuss wanting to do all of those things and more to help make Jesus Known in our community.

Sunday, May 1st 2022 This week we look at our second Freedom Value - Serve to Glorify. We talk about how we present ourselves to the outside world. Do we do it in a way that people see our good works and it makes them want to Glorify God or do we do it in a way that leaves a bad taste in their mouth.

Sunday, April 24th 2022 We kicked off a new series we are calling Freedom Values where we are taking 5 weeks to talk about he vision for Freedom Church as we are in the early stages of our launch. This week we talked about our first value Serving to Help and meet the needs of our community. We looked at the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 to remind us what real helping looks like.

Sunday, April 17th 2022 It's our very first Easter as a church! We finish our 3-part Mini-Series "What He Did" by looking at the most important event in the history of our world...the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We study John's Gospel and learn from Mary Magdalene about how to put ourselves in a position to be able to hear from our Savior.

Sunday, April 10th 2022 In part 2 of our "What He Did" mini-series we examine the Death of Jesus according to the Gospel of John. We study John 19 and learn that on the cross Jesus took care of business by fulfilling prophesy, explaining salvation and making arrangements for his mother. In doing so, he showed us that on the cross he can take care of our past, present and future as well. Also we learned that the cross motivates people like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea and us still today. Finally, we looked at how Jesus changed the entire trajectory of the world with one phrase, "It is Finished".

Sunday, April 3rd 2022 As we enter the Easter Season we start a 3-part Mini Series we are calling "What He Did" speaking to the seminal event of Jesus going to the cross and then ultimately defeating death 3 days later. In part one we look at the Arrest of Jesus in John Chapter 18. We look at how Jesus was in complete control the whole time but endured it all because we needed Him to!

Sunday, March 27th 2022 In the finale of our Who He Is Series we look at the final "I AM" statement that Jesus gives us when he said, "I am the True Vine". We look at the context in which he gave this great statement to talk about rooting our own legacies in Him and not in the things of this world.

Sunday, March 20th 2022 In the penultimate message of our WHO HE IS series we look at John chapter 14 when Jesus declares that he is The Way, The Truth and The Life...and tells his disciples to not be troubled. We study that God wants us to have an untroubled heart in the midst of a troubled world. This week we look at ways to keep our heart untroubled.

Sunday, March 13th 2022 This week we study the event that kicks off our the Easter Season...the raising of Lazarus from the dead. An event where Jesus acts out his statement that he is The Resurrection and the Life. We challenge ourselves to come expectant for our Lord to add life to something that is dead.

Sunday, March 6th 2022 This week we look at the two great "I AM" statements that Jesus makes in John Chapter 10..."I AM the Good Shepherd" and "I AM the Door". In studying this portion of scripture we come to the conclusion that In order to be the Good Shepherd you must first be the Door!

Sunday, February 27th 2022 Today we look at John chapter 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery. We look at that story and talk about 3 different aspects of Sin that we need to be aware of and finally Jesus' response to this story which was to declare, "I am the Light of the World"!

Sunday, February 20th 2022 As we continue to get to know Jesus today we look at the first of Jesus' famous "I AM" statements in John's Gospel. When he looks at a crowd of people who are simply trying to feed their stomachs and tells them he is The Bread of Life. Jesus knows that a full stomach is temporary but a full soul is eternal.

Sunday, February 13th 2022 In John Chapter 4 Jesus meets a samaritan woman at a well. In the process of the conversation the woman goes from not knowing Him at all to accepting him as her Savior. As we study this portion of scripture we use it to give us insight into how we can reach people for the Gospel of Christ.

Sunday, February 6th 2022 We were back in person for official part 2 of our Who He Is Series. This week we looked at John Chapter 2 where Jesus lived out what it says in 1 Thess 4:6 and became an Avenger of the people being taken advantage of in the temple.

Sunday, January 30th 2022 On just our second week of launching Freedom Church we were forced to have an online only service due to a Covid outbreak amongst our team. Covid has been a very frustrating thing for everyone to deal with in our world over the last two years. Pastor Andrew jumped online to give a short message and reminder to keep praying through all the uncertainty and allow for God to work in you to help change your perspective.

Sunday, January 23rd, 2022 In our relaunch service, Pastor Andrew introduces the "How He Is" series where we look at getting to know our Savior Jesus Christ. In this first week we look at John 1 and talk about the basics of who Jesus is.
