Week 1 of our Build series is a wake-up call from the prophet Haggai: “The time has not come… the LORD's house should be built.” And God's response is blunt—“Consider your ways.” Because when we keep postponing God to build our own comforts, we discover that more money, more stuff, and more success still can't satisfy the hunger underneath it all.This message confronts procrastination and misplaced priorities—and then casts a clear Vision Sunday picture of what we're building at Freedom Church DC: not property for property's sake, but a house with purpose—a place where heaven meets earth and people encounter God. From Jacob's “house of God” moment, to the tabernacle, to Solomon's temple, to Jesus cleansing the temple, we're reminded: the house isn't defined by construction—it's defined by purpose.And the vision is simple and strong: the church doesn't have a mission; the mission has a church. We are here to seek and save the lost, make disciples, and multiply gospel presence across the DC metro—through small groups, preaching points, and church-planting momentum. This is a call to stop living for “my house” alone and to put on a hard hat with God's people: it's time to build God's house.Scriptures referenced (as used in the sermon)Haggai 1:1–9 Romans 13:11Matthew 19:21 Exodus 25:8 Habakkuk 2:22 Chronicles 6 Psalm 127 (“unless the LORD builds…”) Key takeaways:Time moves—so what are we building with it? Self-first living always comes up empty. God's house is about purpose, not property. We're building people—and God builds His church.

Pastor Jerry Dirmann reveals the key to promotion in God's kingdom: faithfulness at your CURRENT level.In this powerful message from the "Make Your Life Count" series, Pastor Jerry unpacks the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) and shows how God rewards those who are faithful with what they've been given—no matter how big or small.

Dios es Poderoso para Proveer | Pastor Jerry Collins by Paul Chappell
¿Crees que Dios es Poderoso? | Pastor Jerry Collins by Paul Chappell
Want supernatural power in your life? Pastor Jerry Dirmann reveals the secret from John 15: to bear much fruit, you must "step on the clutch"—intentionally stop, pray, and abide in Christ. Just like shifting a manual transmission requires disengaging the engine, accessing God's power requires stopping to pray.In this powerful message, Pastor Jerry teaches from John 15:5-8 that everyone—not just full-time ministers—can live with supernatural results when we abide in Christ through prayer. Using the memorable metaphor of a manual transmission clutch, he shows how Jesus modeled this lifestyle: stopping to pray before ministry, fasting in the wilderness, and returning in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Tune in as Pastor Jerry looks ahead at things we expect to come along in 2026!
Are you tired of feeling stuck, unstable, and unsure about your future? God has a perfect plan already scripted for your life—and it's time to take control by surrendering to His priorities.In this life-changing message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann reveals the biblical keys to moving from instability to stability, from floundering to flying. Drawing from Ephesians 2:10, you'll discover that you are God's masterpiece, created for good works He prepared in advance for you to walk in. But here's the challenge: "Something's got to go." You cannot serve God and chase money (Matthew 6:24). You cannot reach your destiny while clinging to distractions, unhealthy relationships, time-wasters, and wrong priorities.Pastor Jerry teaches the power of pruning using John 15:1-2—God cuts away what's unnecessary so you can bear more fruit. Whether it's excessive social media, overworking, hobbies that drain your time, or relationships that pull you away from God's purpose, pruning is essential for fruitfulness. Using Stephen Covey's Four Quadrants of Time Management, you'll learn to focus on Quadrant 2: the important but not urgent things that build a solid life—prayer, discipleship, family, health, and preparation for your calling.But what holds people back from God's best? Two powerful hindrances: REGRET and RESENTMENT. Pastor Jerry shares how the Apostle Paul (who murdered Christians), Peter (who denied Jesus), and David (who committed adultery and murder) all experienced restoration and fruitfulness after major failures. There is no sin too great for God's forgiveness. If you've been carrying the weight of past mistakes—even abortion—this message includes a prophetic word of complete forgiveness and healing."Your past will not hinder your future in Jesus' name." God is declaring over you: "I am He who restores the years the locust has eaten" (Joel 2:25). It's time to forget what is behind and press toward the prize (Philippians 3:13-14).KEY SCRIPTURES:• Ephesians 2:10 - We are His workmanship• Matthew 6:24 - You cannot serve two masters• John 15:1-2 - The Father prunes for fruitfulness• Matthew 6:33 - Seek first the kingdom of God• Psalm 90:12 - Number your days wisely• 1 Thessalonians 4:4 - Possess your vessel in sanctification• Romans 8:1-2 - No condemnation in Christ Jesus• Philippians 3:13-14 - Press toward the prizeTAKEAWAYS:✅ God's perfect plan for your life is already prepared—surrender to it✅ Time management is really self-management—prioritize what matters eternally✅ Pruning is necessary for fruitfulness—let God cut away distractions✅ Regret and resentment will sabotage your destiny—receive God's forgiveness✅ "You have to give up to go up" (John Maxwell)✅ "There's a place on top if you're interested"—commit to God's prioritiesThis message is for anyone ready to stop drifting and start building a solid life on the solid rock of Jesus Christ (Luke 6:47-48). Whether you're struggling with time management, past failures, financial stress, or unclear direction—this sermon will equip you with practical, biblical wisdom to take control of your life God's way.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, Pastor Jerry shared the final message of 2025, “The God Who Meets You in the Middle,” from Haggai 2:1–9. On this Sunday between Christmas and New Year, he talked about how God meets us right in the middle of where we've been and where we're headed. Looking at the rebuilding of the temple, Pastor Jerry reminded us not to get stuck comparing the past to the present, but to use what God has already given us. He encouraged us to keep showing up, doing the work, and trusting God in the process. As we wrapped up the year, we were reminded that God's presence is what makes all the difference.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.
