In Revelation 3, Jesus speaks to the church at Sardis, a church with a reputation for being alive but a very different spiritual reality. Pastor Grant challenges us to look beyond appearances, wake up from spiritual complacency, and remain committed to both the Word of God and the Spirit of God. God is not finished working, and He has MORE He wants to do in His church and in our lives.

The letter to the church at Thyatira shows that Jesus sees both the good works and the hidden sins of His church. Although the believers at Thyatira were growing in love, faith, service, and perseverance, they tolerated false teaching and sexual immorality. Jesus, whose eyes see everything, exposes sin not to shame people but to lead them toward repentance, healing, and grace. He warns that continued refusal to repent brings judgment, while those who turn back to Him can receive mercy.The passage calls Christians to honor God with their bodies, reject sexual immorality, and allow Christ to purify His church.Jesus also promises authority and eternal fellowship with those who remain faithful, teaching that those who will reign with Christ must first allow Christ to rule them.Ultimately, the message is a call to hear Jesus, repent of sin, trust His greater grace, and remain faithful until He comes.The letter to the church at Thyatira shows that Jesus sees both the good works and the hidden sins of His church.Although the believers at Thyatira were growing in love, faith, service, and perseverance, they tolerated false teaching and sexual immorality.Jesus, whose eyes see everything, exposes sin not to shame people but to lead them toward repentance, healing, and grace.He warns that continued refusal to repent brings judgment, while those who turn back to Him can receive mercy.

The church is called to remain faithful to Jesus, proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and reach the lost before it is too late.Jesus' message to the church at Pergamum challenges believers to uphold biblical truth even while living in a culture hostile to Christianity. Although the church remained faithful under persecution, Jesus warned that compromise from within could be just as destructive as persecution from without. The teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans illustrate the dangers of tolerating false teaching, idolatry, immorality, and a distorted understanding of grace. Jesus calls His church to repent, reject compromise, and live distinctly as salt and light rather than becoming indistinguishable from the surrounding culture. Those who overcome are promised Christ's provision, represented by the hidden manna, the white stone of acceptance, and a new name that reflects their identity in Him.The message ultimately calls every believer and the church as a whole to stop postponing obedience—“someday” is no day; today is the day to follow Jesus, serve Him, and embrace what God wants to do next.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe,and share it with someone who needs hope today. Ready to take your next step of faith?

The letter to the church in Smyrna shows how Jesus calls believers to remain faithful even when following Him becomes costly. Jesus reminds the suffering church that He is “the First and the Last,” who died and rose again, assuring them that He understands suffering and has power over death. Although Smyrna was poor, persecuted, and under intense pressure, Jesus declared that they were truly rich because He valued eternal faithfulness over earthly wealth and success. Jesus did not promise that their suffering would disappear; instead, He told them not to fear, explaining that their trials were limited and ultimately under His authority. He called them to be faithful unto death, promising them the “crown of life,” a victor's wreath representing eternal reward. The examples of Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Esther, Stephen, and later Polycarp demonstrate that genuine faithfulness means choosing Christ regardless of the outcome. Ultimately, the church of Smyrna teaches that the greatest crown is not earthly wealth, comfort, influence, or recognition, but remaining faithful to Jesus until the end.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe,and share it with someone who needs hope today. Ready to take your next step of faith?

Jesus commended the church in Ephesus for their hard work, endurance, intolerance of evil, discernment of false teaching, and willingness to persevere through persecution.However, despite doing many things right, they had abandoned their first love and were no longer pursuing Jesus with the same passion they once had.Their example shows that it is possible to serve God, defend truth, and endure hardship while losing the love and relationship that should motivate everything we do.Jesus calls them to remember how far they had fallen, repent by turning away from what caused them to grow cold, and return to the works and passionate pursuit they had at first.This reminds us that our service and ministry mean little if they are not rooted in a genuine love for Jesus, because the Christian life is ultimately about loving Him in response to His love for us.Jesus gives us the same invitation today: to examine our hearts, return to our first love, and fully commit our lives to Him.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe,and share it with someone who needs hope today. Ready to take your next step of faith?

Why Should You Be Baptized? | Liberty Live ChurchWhy does Jesus call His followers to be baptized? In this message, Pastor Grant explains what baptism means and why every believer should take this step of obedience.Baptism is a public declaration of our faith in Jesus, identifying us with His death, burial, and resurrection. It does not save us, but it shows the world that we belong to Christ.If you have trusted in Jesus but have never been baptized, this message will encourage you to take your next step.Text LIFE to 40371 to take your next step.It's Not Just Church.

What does it look like to run the Christian life with endurance?In this message from our series Look to Jesus, Pastor Daniel walks through Hebrews 12:1-3 and challenges us to keep running the race God has set before us. The Christian life is not a sprint. It is an endurance race that requires consistency, perseverance, and a steady focus on Jesus.Pastor Daniel shares four truths from this passage:1. The Race Is Set Before You God has a purpose, calling, and mission for your life. Are you running the race He has set before you?2. Run with Endurance The Christian life requires consistency and stamina. We are called to keep pressing forward, even when the journey is difficult.3. Look to Jesus Jesus is our ultimate example of endurance. When we keep our eyes on Him, the challenges around us lose their ability to define our perspective.4. Don't Give Up You may feel tired, behind, or discouraged, but the race isn't over. Keep going. The goal is to finish well.“The key to the Christian life is enduring to the end.”The race is set before you. Run with endurance. Look to Jesus. Don't give up.

The message “Throw Off the Sin” explains that sin is not merely an action but a rebellion against God that began with Satan and entered humanity through Adam and Eve. Because all people are born with a sinful nature, sin separates us from God and produces death, brokenness, and destruction. Sin also acts as a snare, using things such as fear of people, wrong relationships, sexual immorality, greed, pride, and selfish desires to entangle and destroy us. Hebrews 12 calls believers to throw off every sin and continually put away the old nature while putting on the new, making holiness a daily process of following Christ. We cannot overcome sin through our own strength or wisdom, because salvation and freedom from sin come only through Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross. Therefore, instead of trusting ourselves or the standards of culture, we must keep our eyes on Jesus, who took our sin upon Himself so that through Him we could receive the righteousness of God.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe,and share it with someone who needs hope today. Ready to take your next step of faith?

This sermon introduces the first week of a 21-day series, "Looking Unto Jesus," based on Hebrews 12:1–3, emphasizing that believers can only run their spiritual raceby keeping their focus on Jesus. Drawing from the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11, it reminds Christians that imperfect men and women of faith finished their race and now encourage others to persevere. The message teaches that God has a unique purpose for every believer and challenges them toidentify and remove the "weights"—such as distractions, comparison, unhealthy habits, discouragement, and unbelief—that slow their spiritual growth, even if those things are not sinful. It stresses that the Christian life is centered on a relationship with Jesus rather than simply following rules,and encourages believers to develop and share their personal testimony of God's work in their lives. The sermon also highlights the value of prayer and fasting during the 21 days as a way to refocus on God and eliminate distractions thathinder faith. Finally, it calls believers to trust God's promises, pray with faith and endurance, and remain confident that God will strengthen them to fulfill the purpose He has prepared for them. If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe,and share it with someone who needs hope today. Ready to take your next step of faith?

The Fulfillment of Faith | Hebrews 11:39-40 | Pastor Grant EthridgeAfter 15 weeks walking through Hebrews 11, we arrive at the incredible conclusion of the “Hall of Faith.” These men and women weren't remembered because they lived perfect lives. They were remembered because they trusted a perfect God.In this message, Pastor Grant reminds us that faith is more than believing God for a moment—it's living a lifetime of trusting Him. Whether you're celebrating a victory, waiting on a promise, or walking through suffering, God is still writing your story.In this message you'll discover:What it really means to live by faithWhy God's promises are always fulfilled in JesusHow the heroes of faith encourage us to keep running our raceWhy faith isn't about avoiding hardship, but trusting God through itThe hope we have because the best is still to comeNo matter what you're facing today, don't quit.

This message "Unbreakable Faith" from Hebrews 11 teaches that true faith is unbreakable, whether God brings miraculous breakthroughs or allows believers to endure suffering. The chapter highlights examples of God's power through people like Sarah, Moses, Daniel, and Elijah, reminding us that nothing is impossible for God. It also emphasizes that many faithful believers, including the prophets and early Christians, experienced persecution, imprisonment, and even death without losing their faith. The sermon explains that faith is not measured by earthly outcomes but by trusting and obeying God in every circumstance, whether in victory or hardship. Jesus Himself demonstrated perfect faith by entering a broken world, suffering, and dying on the cross so that believers could have eternal hope. Ultimately, unbreakable faith rests in God's unchanging love, knowing that nothing—not even death—can separate His people from Him.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today.Take Your Next Step:New Here?

The message “Faith for the Nation” teaches that God works through ordinary people who faithfully serve Him, using David, Samuel, Jeremiah, and Daniel as examples of courage, conviction, and service. David's life shows that God values the heart over outward appearance, prepares people in private before using them publicly, and gives victory to those who trust Him rather than their own strength. Samuel demonstrates the importance of calling people back to God through prayer, repentance, and unwavering commitment to biblical truth, while drawing connections between faith and America's founding principles. Jeremiah reminds believers to seek the good of their communities by praying, serving, and investing where God has placed them, recognizing both freedom and responsibility as gifts from God. Daniel illustrates how Christians can faithfully serve society with integrity and excellence while remaining loyal to God even when facing pressure, persecution, or opposition. The central message is that preserving a nation and honoring God requires believers to stand courageously for truth, speak with biblical conviction, serve others humbly, and trust God to overcome every giant they face.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today.Take Your Next Step:New Here?

What do you do when your faith feels weak? Hebrews 11:32 reminds us that God doesn't just use perfect people—He uses willing people who trust Him.In this message, Pastor Grant explores the lives of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets, showing that each one had flaws, fears, and failures, yet God accomplished extraordinary things through their faith. Their stories remind us that faith isn't about having it all together—it's about trusting the One who does.No matter your past or your present struggles, God can still write a story of faith through your life.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today.Take Your Next Step:• New Here?

This Father's Day message celebrated a giveaway winner and highlighted upcoming church events, while focusing on the biblical story of Jericho from Joshua 6 and Hebrews 11. The sermon emphasized that God brings believers to defining moments where faith and obedience determine their future, just as Joshua and the Israelites faced the challenge of conquering Jericho. Although the city's walls seemed impossible to overcome, God promised victory and instructed the people to trust His plan rather than human logic. Their silent marches around the city demonstrated discipline, persistence, and faith even when no immediate results were visible. The message encouraged believers to keep praying, trusting, and obeying God through life's challenges, reminding them not to quit before their breakthrough comes. Special application was made for fathers, encouraging them to faithfully lead their families through consistent prayer, integrity, and obedience to God, even when results are not immediately seen. While the collapse of Jericho's walls was a great miracle, the sermon highlighted Rahab's salvation and transformed life as the greater miracle because her faith brought redemption for herself and her family. Rahab's story showed that no past failure can disqualify someone from God's grace and purpose. The message concluded by urging listeners to keep Jesus at the center of their lives, trust God for victory over spiritual strongholds, and believe that faith can bring transformation for future generations.

This sermon focuses on Hebrews 11:29 and the story of Israel crossing the Red Sea by faith, emphasizing that God not only brought His people out of Egypt but also brought them through impossible situations and into His promises. The message compares Israel's deliverance through the Passover to Christian salvation, teaching that Jesus Christ is the true Passover Lamb whose sacrifice frees believers from sin and bondage. Just as God rescued Israel from slavery, salvation is presented as God's work, not human effort, moving people from darkness into His kingdom. The Red Sea crossing demonstrates that God often leads His people into situations where there is no human solution so that His power and glory can be revealed. The sermon encourages believers to trust God during trials, stand firm in faith, reject fear and complaining, and continue moving forward even when circumstances seem impossible. It highlights that faith requires action, noting that the waters parted only after the Israelites stepped forward in obedience. The crossing is also presented as a picture of baptism and Christ's death and resurrection, where sin is buried forever and believers are raised to new life. Finally, the message reminds listeners that God wants their lives to be defined not by failures but by faith, trusting Him to bring them out of bondage, through difficulties, and into His promises.

The sermon focuses on the theme of “Faith to Choose” from Hebrews 11:24–29, highlighting the faith of Moses. As Moses grew up, he made a deliberate choice to identify with God's people rather than enjoy the temporary privileges and wealth of Egypt. By faith, he valued obedience to God above earthly treasures and was willing to endure suffering for a greater eternal reward. Moses trusted God even when he could not see the outcome, persevering because he kept his eyes on the invisible God. His faith was demonstrated through actions such as observing the Passover and leading Israel through the Red Sea. These events show that genuine faith requires difficult choices, steadfast trust, and obedience to God's direction. The message challenges believers to choose God's purposes over temporary comforts and to live by faith in every season of life.

What does it look like to trust God when fear tries to take over?In this message, “Fearless Faith,” Pastor Grant walks through God's Word to show how faith grows when we choose to trust God's promises over our fears.

The message “A Mother's Faith” focuses on the story of The Bible figures Abraham and Sarah, showing how God fulfilled His promise despite impossible circumstances. God promised they would become the parents of a great nation, even though Sarah was unable to have children and both were very old. During years of waiting, Abraham and Sarah struggled with doubt, impatience, and poor decisions, including involving Hagar in an attempt to force God's plan to happen. Their mistakes caused conflict and division in the family, yet God still remained faithful to His promises. The sermon emphasizes that God often works through broken and imperfect people, proving that no one is beyond His grace or purpose. It also contrasts living by human effort and law with living by faith and God's grace, teaching that true fulfillment comes from trusting Him rather than relying on ourselves. Eventually, after twenty-five years of waiting, God miraculously gave them a son, Isaac, whose name means laughter, showing that God's timing and provision are perfect. The story ultimately points to faith, surrender, and God's provision through Jesus, encouraging believers to trust God with their future, families, and deepest struggles.

In this sermon, “The Paradox of Faith,” we walk through Hebrews 11 and the life of Abraham to discover what it means to have both the faith to GO and the faith to STAY. Abraham obeyed God even when he did not know where he was going, and he remained faithful even when he never fully saw the promise fulfilled in his lifetime. His story reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers. It is about trusting a faithful God one step at a time.

In this sermon, “Working Faith: Noah's Obedience,” we walk through Hebrews 11:7 and the story of Noah in Genesis 6–9. In a world filled with wickedness and rebellion, Noah stood out as a man who walked with God. By faith, Noah obeyed God even when he could not see the outcome, understand every detail, or escape the opinions of the people around him.We are reminded that faithful obedience believes God when it cannot see, fears God over man, and keeps moving forward even when the questions feel overwhelming. Noah did not build the ark because it made sense to everyone else. He built it because God spoke. His faith was not passive. It was active, working, and obedient.

In this sermon, “What Pleases God?”, we walk through Hebrews 11 and are reminded that faith is not just something we say we have. It is something we live. Looking at the lives of Abel and Enoch, we see that a life that pleases God is marked by priority, consistency, and trust.Abel teaches us to give God our first and our best, not what is left over. Faith is revealed in what we prioritize, and what is first in our lives shows what matters most to us. Enoch shows us that faith is not just a moment but a daily walk. It is choosing to walk with God in the ordinary, staying consistent even when no one is watching.

In this sermon, “What Is Faith?”, we begin our By Faith series in Hebrews 11 and are reminded that faith is not wishful thinking, it is confidence in who God is and trust in what He has said. It is not about the size of your faith, but the object of your faith.We are challenged to move beyond feelings and into action. Real faith obeys God even when it does not make sense and holds onto hope when life feels uncertain. When hope fades, faith struggles, so we must fix our eyes on God's promises and not the world around us.God does not use perfect people, He uses people who trust Him. So take the next step. Walk by faith, not by sight.

Good Friday isn't just about remembering the cross, it's about what the cross accomplished. In this message, we reflect on the power of the blood of Jesus and what it means for our lives today.The blood speaks a better word over your past, your pain, and your sin. It shields, it saves, and it reminds us that Jesus didn't just die for us, He died in our place.Through Scripture and communion, this message invites you to slow down, examine your heart, and remember the price that was paid. Because of the cross, your sin is forgiven, your life is redeemed, and your story is not finished.

This is the final week of our Living with Joy series—and you don't want to miss it. Discover the secret to lasting joy, even when life doesn't go your way, through Paul's powerful words in Philippians 4. This message reveals how true contentment isn't found in circumstances, success, or possessions, but in a person—Jesus. Learn how God's strength, the support of His people, and His faithful provision can transform your perspective in every season. If you've been chasing happiness but still feel empty, this message will challenge and encourage you in a real way. Don't miss how shifting your focus can unlock a joy that actually lasts.

In this sermon, “Pathway to Peace,” we walk through Philippians 4:1–9 and see that the peace of God is not random, it is the result of walking in obedience to God. Paul gives a clear pathway to peace through consistency, unity, serving together, choosing joy, showing gentleness, praying with thanksgiving, and fixing our minds on what is true. This passage reminds us that peace is not the absence of problems, but the presence of God guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.You do not stumble into peace. There is a pathway that leads to it.

In this sermon, “Living as Enemies,” we walk through Philippians 3:17–21 and are challenged to examine what our lives actually reveal. Paul warns that it is possible to claim Christ while living in a way that opposes the cross. Through this passage, we see four clear characteristics of those who live as enemies of the cross: they focus on earthly things, glory in what should bring shame, are controlled by their appetites, and ultimately walk toward destruction.Jesus died so that enemies of God could be reconciled and become friends of God.

It's One Day Revival at Liberty Live Church with Evangelist, Scott Hurley. Pastor Scott shared a powerful gospel message centered on three of life's biggest questions: Why is there evil in the world? What is the meaning of life? And what happens after we die?

In this sermon, “Press On,” we walk through Philippians 3 and are reminded that the Christian life is not about perfection but progress. Paul, who had accomplished more than most of us ever will, still said he had not arrived. Instead, he chose to press on toward the purpose for which Christ took hold of him. We are challenged to live with holy discontentment, to stay humble and hungry, and to refuse to let our past define us. We can learn from yesterday, but we cannot live there. Our sins are forgiven. Our successes are behind us. What God has for us is not in the rearview mirror.Do not quit. Do not drift. Press on and finish well.

Joy is not something we chase. It is something we choose because of who Jesus is.In this sermon, “The Joy of Knowing Jesus,” we walk through Philippians 3 and are challenged to rethink what really matters. In a world that celebrates status, achievement, and self made righteousness, Paul reminds us that none of it compares to knowing Christ. True joy is not rooted in circumstances but in a relationship with Him. We are called to reject confidence in ourselves, receive the righteousness that comes through faith, and find our identity completely in Jesus.When everything else is counted as loss, we discover that Christ is our greatest gain.

We're In This Together — In Philippians 2:19–30, Paul shows us that gospel ministry is never a solo act. Through Timothy and Epaphroditus, we see what real partnership looks like: surrendered servants, suffering soldiers, and selfless leaders who pour their lives into others.The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Maturity isn't measured by what we know, but by who we're investing in. As we live for Christ and not ourselves, the gospel outlives us.

In this latest sermon from Pastor Grant, titled “Are You on the Team?”, Paul's teaching in Philippians 2 is unpacked to reveal four signs of salvation: maturity, unity, purity, and victory. Using powerful illustrations from sports, teamwork, and everyday life, the sermon challenges believers to work out what God is working in, live without grumbling, shine as lights in a dark world, and rejoice together in sacrificial service. It's a call to move beyond surface-level faith, fully surrender to the lordship of Jesus, and make sure you don't finish life one yard short.

In this message from Hampton Campus Pastor Daniel Ethridge, we walk through Philippians 2:5–11 and discover a compact yet powerful theology of Christ. Jesus, fully God, chose humility—emptying Himself, serving others, and obeying the Father even to death on a cross. This cruciform life doesn't just inform what we believe; it reshapes how we think, serve, and worship. As the risen and exalted Lord, Jesus redefines greatness as servanthood and calls us to daily surrender. Because it's all about Jesus, our lives are invited into unity, humility, and joyful obedience that point the world to Him.

The world doesn't just need to hear the gospel—they need to see it. In this latest sermon from Pastor Grant, titled “Gospel Witness,” we walk through Philippians 1 and see what it means to live as citizens of heaven with courage, unity, and humility. Even suffering is reframed as a kingdom gift that forms us and strengthens our testimony.

What does your “best life” really look like—and what happens when life gets hard? In “To Live Is Christ,” Lead Pastor Grant Ethridge teaches from Philippians 1:19–26 and unpacks Paul's powerful words: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Discover the difference between temporary happiness and lasting joy, and learn how to magnify Jesus through both your life and your circumstances. This message will challenge you to live unashamed, pray with faith, and help others take their next step toward Christ.

Advance Through Adversity God often advances His purposes through adversity. What feels like a setback may actually be a setup in God's hands.In this message from Philippians 1, Lead Pastor Grant Ethridge shares how the Apostle Paul found joy in hardship and how God uses difficult circumstances to advance the gospel. If you're walking through a challenging season, this message will encourage you to trust God, stay focused on Christ, and believe there is purpose in the pain.I

What if joy wasn't dependent on circumstances—but on how we live and love? In the first message of our new series Living With Joy, we open the book of Philippians to discover God's design for healthy relationships that bring unity, purpose, and lasting joy. This message is packed with practical, Christ-centered truth for anyone navigating conflict, connection, or community. If you're longing for stronger relationships and a deeper joy that lasts, this message is for you—watch, be encouraged, and share it with someone who needs it.

As we approach a new year, Pastor Dalton invites us to reflect honestly on what we have been carrying that God never intended us to hold. Through Scripture and personal stories, this message reminds us that every major move of God begins with leaving something behind. From Abraham and Moses to Ruth and the disciples, God consistently calls His people to step away from what is familiar, comfortable, or defining and to place their trust fully in Him.In this message, we are challenged to leave behind hopelessness, anger and bitterness, and unforgiveness, and to embrace a life of surrender. This is not about trying harder or making resolutions. It is about giving our lives over to a faithful God who offers mercy for the past, grace for today, and hope for the future as we walk into the new year with Him.

Christmas is more than a celebration of a birth long ago—it is an invitation to experience new life today. In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Grant walks through the promise, anticipation, and arrival of Jesus, the long-awaited Savior. From prophetic announcements to a humble manger, we see how God fulfilled His plan to come near, identify with us, and redeem us.This message reminds us that Jesus is fully God and fully man—the Lamb of God without sin—who came not only to save us, but to walk with us in our brokenness, weakness, and fear. No matter your story, background, or current situation, this Christmas message declares a powerful truth: Jesus came for you. A Child is born, a Son is given, and His gift still changes lives today.If you're ready to take the next step in your faith or want to learn more about Liberty, click here: https://libertylive.church/connect/

Pastor Daniel looks at the life and birth of John the Baptist in Luke chapter 1, revealing how God works through impossible circumstances to accomplish His purposes. John's arrival ended centuries of silence and signaled that God was once again speaking and moving among His people.John's mission was clear: to call people to repentance and point them to Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Pastor Daniel challenges us to move beyond religious routine and truly behold Christ, responding with faith, repentance, and renewed trust in the Savior we celebrate this Christmas season.If you're ready to take the next step in your faith or want to learn more about Liberty, click here: https://libertylive.church/connect/

What do you do when God's promises feel delayed and His plan doesn't make sense? In this message from Genesis 12–22, Pastor Zac explores the story of Abraham and Sarah and the long-awaited birth of Isaac, reminding us that God often works through impossible circumstances and seasons of waiting to grow our faith.
