Song of Songs is one of the most poetic and powerful books in the Bible, giving us a picture of love the way God designed it…not rushed, distorted, or shaped by culture. In this 6-week Renewed Mind Bible Study, we will look at relationships, desire, identity, communication, and lasting commitment through the lens of Scripture, discovering what it looks like to build love that is healthy, honoring, and enduring.

Unity sounds great…until real people get involved. Different backgrounds, opinions, and preferences can pull us apart, even when we share the same faith. In this opening message of Uncommon Unity: When the World Divides, We Build, we look at the foundation that makes real unity possible...and it's not agreement, it's identity. Jesus didn't just hope we would be one…He prayed for it. That kind of unity begins when we understand who we are and whose we are. So before we can live as one, we have to see ourselves as belonging to Him.

This is one of the most famous parts in Ecclesiastes…“for everything there is a season.” But what sounds poetic on the surface carries a deeper struggle underneath: Control.The Teacher begins to address something we all feel at times: life does not move according to our timing. Some seasons feel right, others feel confusing, and many feel completely out of our control. In this session, we will look at what it means to trust God with the seasons we would choose differently, and how learning to release control may actually be the doorway to real peace.

In this opening session of our Ecclesiastes study, we confront one of life's heaviest questions: What actually gives life meaning? The Teacher begins with brutal honesty, describing life as “vapor”...real but fleeting, and difficult to grasp or control. As we look at the cycles of life, the restless search for satisfaction, and the limits of human wisdom, we begin to see why so many pursuits leave us empty. B,ut this honesty is not meant to discourage us; it is meant to lead us toward true wisdom. Ecclesiastes challenges us to examine what we are chasing and pushes us to rediscover the true meaning that is not “under the sun,” but under the rule of God.

In this message from the "Stop in the Name of Love" series, we explore how reactive habits tend to damage our closest relationships and why love requires intentionality rather than impulsiveness. Through the story of Jesus and Peter in the garden, we learn the importance of preparing our hearts ahead of time and guarding our responses when emotions run high. This sermon challenges us to slow down, tend to our inner life, and choose thoughtful, Christlike responses in our marriages, friendships, and families so that love has space to lead instead of reaction taking control.

Tonight we're continuing our midweek services with a deeper look at worship…where it came from, how Jesus transformed it, and what it looks like now that access to God is no longer tied to a place but carried by His people! We'll explore why worship is more than music, how freedom in worship grows us, and how we can engage fully together as a church family.

Grace challenges us to be honest about what has been broken without pretending it never happened. In this message, we look at how God calls us to pursue peace with wisdom, humility, and discernment. Through real, relational stories from Scripture, we learn how different spiritual gifts approach conflict and also repair problems differently. We will see why those differences are meant to work together rather than compete, and celebrate baptism! God is making all things new!

Baptism is more than a tradition…it's a response to grace and a testimony of renewal! From the roots of Jewish purification to the life-changing moments we see in Scripture, this message explores why baptism matters, why it's personal, and why it's meant to be public. Whether it's your first step of obedience or a moment of renewed surrender, baptism becomes a declaration that God is still restoring hearts and making lives new…and sometimes making them new again.

In this message, we explore how God's grace doesn't wait for perfection before placing gifts in our hands. Scripture reminds us that every believer has been intentionally equipped to build the Church, not as spectators, but as active participants. We must move beyond self-doubt and fear, learn to steward what God has given us with "consecration", humility, and dependence on Him. Rather than burying our gifts, we are called to use them in community, trusting that the same grace that gave them will also sustain us as we grow!

How does the church carry one another's burdens without being dragged down by the weight of everyone's problems? There is a way, and there is a purpose...

This sermon is for anyone coming into this year feeling tired, uncertain, or carrying the weight of the past. Grace is not something God saves for a stronger version of us…Grace meets us in weakness, right where we are. Through Paul's story, we can wrestle honestly with the questions we all ask when life doesn't go as planned…is starting over even allowed, and what will other people think?

This Christmas Eve at Liberty Church, we gather to celebrate more than a moment in history...we remember a decision God made out of love. Christmas is not only about a baby in a manger, but about God stepping into our broken world to pay a debt we could never repay, where His justice was satisfied by His mercy.

As Christmas approaches, life feels full…not always with bad things, just too many things. In this message, we look at the familiar story of the birth of Jesus and see that He wasn't rejected by hostility, but by a lack of room. But the call to “prepare the way” can be found all throughout scripture...from Isaiah to John the Baptist. Holiness isn't gained by "earning God's favor", but simply by making space for His presence to reign in our lives. This is an honest opportunity to examine what has crowded our hearts and to clear room for the King who still comes to those who are ready to receive Him.

This sermon is a call to move from attendance to belonging, and from belonging to real relationships. Starting in Acts 2, we see the early church become a family marked by shared life, shared burdens, shared meals, and shared mission, showing us that God doesn't just save individuals…He places the lonely in families. This message challenges the myth that you have to become something before you belong in a church. Belonging comes first, and God uses community to form who we are. Let's take an intentional step toward connection, whether through membership, groups, serving, or simply choosing to be present, as we build a church where Jesus is the cornerstone and love is the evidence that we are His disciples.

In this message, we explore prayer as a real conversation that forms a real relationship. Through what we know as "The Lord's Prayer" in Matthew 6, this sermon challenges us to learn both how to talk with God honestly and how to hear Him clearly. Prayer is where connection replaces confusion, where heaven meets everyday life, and where God speaks to ordinary people who are willing to listen.

Unwrapping the Story is a call for our church to return to the foundation that leads us home…the Word of God. In this message, Pastor Blake teaches how Scripture is more than ancient text. It is the living voice of God, speaking into our everyday lives with power and direction. Through practical steps, personal stories, and clear biblical teaching, this message encourages you to open Scripture with both hunger and humility, knowing that you can't fall behind…you can only choose faithfulness today.

What if the God you picture…isn't the God Jesus came to reveal? In this message, we revisit the story of the prodigal son. But this time it's not to focus on the son's failure, but rather to rediscover the Father's heart. Through the scriptures (and maybe even a game of hot potato), we expose how distorted views of God shape our identity and how Jesus came to rewrite that narrative. No matter what kind of father you had on earth, this message reveals the running, restorative love of the Father you've always needed.
