Are we tolerating sins today that God’s Word explicitly warns us against?
In Part 1 of our "Ascend" series, Pastor Josh addresses 20 modern-day sins and cultural compromises that keep us from standing in God's holy presence. From doomscrolling, consumerism, and astrology to unforgiveness, gossip, and political idolatry.
Drawing from Psalm 24:3–4, 1 Corinthians 6, Galatians 5, and Acts 2, this message is an urgent wake-up call to stop asking "Am I a good person?" and start asking "Am I a holy person?" God is calling His Church to aggressive, daily repentance, turning away from cultural idols and turning back to Him with clean hands and a pure heart.

When we wander, Jesus doesn’t count us as a loss. He comes after us.
In this message from our Power in the Parables series, we dive deep into Luke 15:1–7 and the story of the Lost Sheep. We unpack the true Biblical meaning of the word Apollumi (lost, ruined, separated from purpose) and discover why Jesus relentlessly pursues you no matter how far you’ve strayed.
Whether you feel too far gone, disconnected, or invisible in the crowd, remember this truth: Heaven doesn't see percentages; it sees people.

What type of soil is your heart? In this message from Matthew 13:3–9 & 13–17, we examine Jesus’ Parable of the Sower and the four distinct conditions of the human heart:
- The Path (The Hard Heart) – Exposed and easily stolen from.
- The Rocky Soil (The Shallow Heart) – Quick to sprout, but lacking deep roots and total surrender.
- The Thorny Soil (The Compromised Heart) – Good soil, but choked out by unaddressed sin and weeds.
- The Good Soil (The Fruitful Heart) – Soft, deep, saturated, and actively producing fruit for others.
God's destiny for every true follower of Christ is not just to survive, but to produce real fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, grace, and mercy. Watch to see how you can rip out the weeds, deepen your roots, and allow the Word of God to take hold in your life.

Are you multiplying what God has entrusted to you, or are you letting fear hold you back? In this powerful message, we dive deep into Jesus' Parable of the Talents to discover what true Biblical stewardship looks like.
In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus shares a profound truth about how God views our time, gifts, and resources. Whether you feel like you've been given "five bags of gold," two, or just one, God’s call on your life remains the same: be a faithful steward and multiply what you have been given.
Many of us fall into the trap of comparison or fear, choosing to bury our talents instead of stepping out in faith. Today, we break down how to shift from a mindset of scarcity and fear to one of faith, intentionality, and multiplication. It's time to stop waiting on the sidelines and start growing what God has placed in your hands!

One of the most misunderstood parables in the Bible is the story of the Shrewd Manager (also known as the Unjust Steward). In Luke 16, Jesus highlights a clever manager who strategically uses worldly wealth to secure his future.
While Jesus isn't commending his dishonesty, He is challenging the "children of light" to be just as intentional with eternal riches as the world is with temporary resources. In this powerful message from Freedom Church Raleigh, we break down:
-
What it means to serve God instead of money.
-
How being faithful in the "little things" prepares us for true spiritual riches.
-
How to leverage your time, talent, and treasures for the Kingdom of God.
If you’ve ever wondered how to align your daily finances and resources with God's ultimate purpose, this message will give you practical, biblical insight into true Christian stewardship.

What does it actually take to become a man of God?
In this episode, Pastors Josh and Rose break down what they call “The Barbarian Way”—a call to reject passivity, comfort, and compromise, and instead step into the foundations every man must build to walk fully with God.
This isn’t about surface-level change. It’s about the death of boyhood… and the beginning of true, biblical manhood.
Too many men stay stuck—avoiding responsibility, lacking discipline, and never stepping into the calling God has placed on their lives. This conversation challenges that.

In Part 2 of "Joseph Series", Pastor Josh Snowzell teaches from Genesis 39 about Joseph’s life in Potiphar’s house. Though Joseph is taken into slavery, he is “taken but not shaken.” What looks like a curse becomes an opportunity for God’s favor. Joseph faithfully serves where God places him, and because of his diligence, he is entrusted with great responsibility.
When temptation comes through Potiphar’s wife, Joseph recognizes his value and refuses to sin against God and his master. Choosing integrity over security, he flees from temptation, reminding believers to stay spiritually aware, resist evil, and hold firmly to their integrity. The enemy may attack identity, but integrity can only be given away, never taken.

The Holy Spirit awakens this potential, and the prophetic gives purpose to it. Using 2 Kings 9:1–6 and 9:19–20, he emphasizes that when we recognize what’s inside us, we activate a power that has always been there. To fulfill this potential, we must believe in it, act with urgency, stay connected to godly community, pursue accountability, and walk in freedom. Even when we feel overwhelmed, God’s power in us is greater than anything that tries to keep us bound.

In Part 1 of "Light The Fuse", Pastor Josh teaches that being a Christian is about expressing our faith through both words and actions. True worship isn’t centered on what we want but on what God desires. Passionate believers go beyond the minimum they follow Jesus closely, serve joyfully, and show love in tangible ways. He explains that a lack of passion often stems from religion, complacency, or embarrassment. To grow in passion, we must take next steps in worship, read the Bible, pray, serve the church, express love openly, and spend time with passionate people. Our faith and love are not meant to be contained.

In part 4 of "Tear Down The Altars",Pastor Rose emphasizes that what we do with the land God gives us matters. She explains that while we often seek human solutions for divine problems, God sent Jesus with supernatural power to tear down false altars. The message challenges us to stop tolerating what we should remove and highlights that Jesus became the ultimate offering. The gospel is centered not on what we bring, but on what we believe and the only altar we truly need is the cross.

In Part 4 of "Tear down the Altars, Pastor Rose’s sermon highlights that God desires our whole heart and won’t share His place with anything else. She warns against blending God’s truth with cultural values and teaches that the hidden altars in our lives can be revealed through our habits, priorities, dreams, and fears. True transformation begins when we replace old patterns, realign our offerings, surrender our desires, and confront our fears. The message calls for undivided devotion, reminding us that wholeness brings spiritual health, while division leads to instability.

In Part 2 of "Tear Down The Altars", Pastor Josh teaches that everyone is building an altar with their life, either to God or to something else. He shows how our journey with God involves moments of encounter, peace, obedience, and surrender. God demands the highest place in our hearts, and we must tear down any competing altars, even generational ones. Like Gideon, we are called to destroy what doesn’t belong and build our lives as altars to God alone.

In Part 1 of Tear Down The Alters, Pastor Rose teaches that entering God's promises requires more than just believing—it requires action. She explains that salvation brings us into God’s family, but discipleship helps us remove what doesn’t belong. Using the stories from Numbers and Deuteronomy, she shows how giants are just distractions, while the real danger lies in corrupt altars. To truly take territory for God, we must stop focusing on what intimidates us and start tearing down what defiles us.

In Part 6 of "More Than a Sunday", Pst Josh teaches that everything we have belongs to God, and we are simply stewards, not owners. He emphasizes the importance of tithing—giving ten percent back to God—as an act of obedience and trust. Based on Malachi 3:7–12 and Exodus 16:20, he explains that withholding the tithe invites loss, but giving it releases blessing. Tithing supports the church’s mission to share Jesus, the Bread of Life. Pst Josh challenges us to trust God fully, reminding us that when we give faithfully, even our “less” becomes more.

In Part 5 of "More Than a Sunday", Dan teaches how the gathering is holy because Jesus is present when we come together (Matt. 18:20). Yet, we often treat it as ordinary due to familiarity, hurt, or divided hearts. When we lose reverence, we lose value.
Gratitude is a biblical command that shifts our perspective turning the ordinary into a blessing and killing pride. Honor flows from gratitude: when we encourage, show up on time, and serve with excellence.
A church marked by gratitude and honor is a powerful church.

In Part 4 of "More Than Sunday", Ashton preaches on the Church as a community with a shared purpose, passion, and treasure. He challenges us to live as servants, not just members—servants who see the Church as a place for others, not just ourselves. True servants invite, include, and wait for the Master’s cue. The Church is the only club that exists to serve non-members, and we’re called to be treasure sharers and pearl dealers

In Part 3 of "More Than Sunday", Manning teaches that church isn’t just a Sunday service—it’s a way of life. When we live out our faith daily, we unlock powerful benefits: identity (1 John 3:1), purpose (Ephesians 2:10), support (Matthew 25:35–40), and family. Church isn’t a place we go—it’s the family we belong to.

In Part 1 of " More than a Sunday", Pastor Josh shares how Jesus welcomes, teaches, and feeds the crowd but calls us to something deeper. While Jesus loves the crowd, He invites every believer to move from being part of the crowd to becoming a true disciple. A real, changed life comes not from staying in the crowd, but from following Christ fully.

Today, Pastor Josh shares how Jesus meets us where we are whether we’re walking away or feeling hopeless. Even when we can’t see it, He’s walking toward us.
The disciples’ eyes were opened on the road to Emmaus, and they realized the truth had been with them all along. The empty grave is proof: Jesus is alive. And when we truly see who He is, we can’t keep walking the same way we have to turn around.
This message is a powerful reminder that every one of us matters to Jesus, and real hope begins when we see Him for who He truly is.

Through scriptures like Ephesians 5:25 and John 13–17, we see how Jesus invites us to trust Him with our mess, love one another, believe in His power, stay close to Him, and be equipped by the Spirit.

While the world seeks to conform us to its ways, Jesus invites us to reflect His heart and live by the Spirit.

In part 3 of "The Heart Of Jesus", Pst Rose teaches that sin is not something God wants to keep us from enjoying but a burden He wants to free us from. True change requires action and risk, and transformation happens when our desire for truth is stronger than our fear of being seen.
Jesus’ heart seeks those who hunger for Him, and His generosity reaches even sinners, not just to accept them but to transform them. His presence corrects, reveals, and saves—not to shame, but to restore. What we focus on shapes who we become, and generosity overcomes greed.
Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus, but Jesus climbed the cross to save us. His mission is to pay our penalty, transform us, and help us live in alignment with God’s purpose.

In Part 2 of "The Heart of Jesus", Pastor Josh’s teaches about the freedom Jesus brings. He highlights how many people live with restrictions instead of embracing true freedom. Drawing from Isaiah 61:1-2 and Galatians 5:1, he emphasizes that Jesus came to set us free.
Through Mark 5:1-20, we see Jesus delivering a man from spiritual oppression, proving that no chain is too strong for Him. Jesus doesn’t shy away from our mess—He steps in to break every bondage.
The heart of Jesus is to seek the one, hear every cry, and put others first. To live like Him, we must sow seeds of faith without judgment, trusting that even one seed can make a difference.

In Part 1 of " The Heart of Jesus", Pastor Josh’s sermon highlights how loneliness affects many people, even when they are surrounded by others. God never intended for us to be alone, as seen in Scripture.
In John 5:1-14, Jesus meets a man who has suffered alone for 38 years and asks, “Do you want to get well?” This question reveals His deep compassion and desire to bring healing. Jesus sees us even when we feel invisible and offers hope and transformation.
Sin thrives in isolation, but Jesus brings restoration. Just as He sought out the lonely, we are called to do the same—by seeing others, caring for their needs, and sharing His love. No one is truly alone when Jesus is near. Will we accept His invitation to healing and change?

In part 1 of "Kings and Queens", Pastor Rose delivers a powerful sermon on relationships, emphasizing the importance of love as commanded by Jesus in John 13:34-35. She reminds us that knowing who someone is allows us to love them well and that God created the earth as His temple, with His people as priests. Through Genesis, we see that God's people are meant to represent Him, rule over creation, and walk in their royal identity.
Reflecting on these truths, Rose challenges us to consider how we can better represent and rule on behalf of our King, how we can do this in community with others, and who in our lives we need to honor as kings and queens. This message calls us to embody love and stewardship in our relationships, living out our God-given purpose.

Pastor Gary’s sermon today explores how God calls us to unlock our limitless potential. Drawing from 1 Kings 19:19-21 and John 21:9, he emphasizes the importance of responsibility when God blesses us with more. He challenges us to recognize that yesterday’s blessing can become today’s limitation if we fail to move forward. God often intervenes in unexpected ways to unlock our potential, and we will ultimately be accountable for how we have lived it out. Without willingness, opportunities can lead to regret, and fulfilling our purpose comes with the cost of process. Pastor Gary reminds us that failure is merely an event, not our identity, and that the greatest limitless potential within us is the gospel.

Drawing from Scripture, he explains that words can bring life or limit us, depending on how we use them.

In Part 2 of "Limitless", Pastor Josh explores the theme of Multiplication, emphasizing God’s command in Genesis 1:28 to be fruitful and grow what He has entrusted to us. Drawing from the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30, he highlights the importance of faithful stewardship, explaining that our worth is not determined by how much we are given but by how we use it.
Pastor Josh reminds us that God calls us to be intentional stewards, not passive buriers. Neglect, apathy, and excuses lead to wasted potential, while those who prioritize growth and invest in their gifts, abilities, and resources experience multiplication. Quoting Revelation 22:12, he urges us to take responsibility for what God has placed in our hands, because faithful stewardship is key to eternal rewards.

In "Let's set the Record Straight", Dan highlights that worship is central to our identity as God’s chosen people, as emphasized in 1 Peter 2:9. Worship is not just an act but a sacrifice that transforms lives, shifts atmospheres, and leaves a lasting legacy. True worship aligns with the greatest commandment, to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30-31), and involves offering our lives as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). Acts 16 illustrates the power of worship to break chains and bring freedom. Worship is a lifestyle of intimacy with God, challenging us to offer more than convenience and to leave a legacy of wholehearted devotion for future generations

Serving may come at a cost, but it reflects Christ’s love and leads to a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment when we trust God to lift us up in His timing.

Reflecting on Acts 3:1-10, Pastor Josh shows how faith-filled moments can lead to miraculous change.
God’s plan is for us to be healed and whole, not merely to survive. Through James 5:14-16, we’re reminded of the power of prayer, confession, and laying on of hands for healing and forgiveness. Let’s ask, believe, and testify boldly to what God has done, keeping our faith centered on Jesus, whose name is above all.

Part 4 of "Holy Spirit", Pastor Josh’s focuses on "The Boldness of the Holy Spirit." He uses key scriptures, including John 11:16, Matthew 26:33-35, and John 20:19, to illustrate how the disciples initially spoke boldly but were hindered by fear. The message emphasizes that the Holy Spirit empowers believers with unhindered boldness, as seen in Acts 4, where Peter boldly proclaims the name of Jesus despite facing persecution.
Key takeaways from the sermon include the idea that knowing the Spirit of Truth equips us for boldness, that true boldness requires overcoming fear and challenging the status quo, and that we can continually be filled with the Holy Spirit to enhance our courage. The call to action encourages a bold, Spirit-filled church to make a meaningful impact in Raleigh

Part 2 of "Holy Spirit ", Pastor Roses explores the difference between the Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit. The Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) are the evidence of God's nature within us—love, joy, peace, patience, and more—helping us fulfill the work of God in our hearts, while the Gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) enable us to walk in God's power and accomplish His work in the world. Roses also asks: Are you free? (2 Corinthians 3:17). The Holy Spirit brings freedom from shame, striving, condemnation, and failure, and gives us freedom to repent, praise, live in grace, and obey (Galatians 5:13-18). The Holy Spirit doesn't speak to those who deserve it but to those who desire it (Galatians 3:2-6,14). Finally, we are reminded that while the Pharisees saw a God who makes demands, true followers see a God who makes loving invitations

Part 3 of the "Name Above All Names" series where we look at the name Adonai. This name means Lord or Master. Pastor Josh teaches on how important it is to not simply believe in God, but to make him our Lord/Master. The story of the Rich Young Ruler is challenging because he was willing to do a whole lot, but he was unwilling to make Jesus his master by giving up what he valued the most.
Part 2 of "Name Above All Names" where we look at the name of the Lord: Jehovah Sabaoth which means "The Lord of Hosts". In 2024, it's easy to find talking about Jesus as our friend and our savior but sometimes we forget he is also the leader of all of the armies of heaven. He is a mighty and fear invoking to any enemy in his way.
Part 1 of "Name Above All Names" where Pastor Josh walks through the name Jehovah-Nissi which means "The Lord is my Banner". There is power when we lift the name of the Lord up as our banner of victory.
Happy Easter!
This Easter we close out our "All Things New" series with a message that looks to who Jesus really was. The question who is Jesus to you is the question that we all need to contemplate and will ultimately determine our faith in Him.
This is the 3rd part of "All Things New" with a message from Josh Snowzell. The teaching is around how Jesus is the king of kings but he came to the earth, lived, and died portraying humility to the fullest. He flipped the script for what our human perception of a king was and he led us in how we can serve each other as followers of Him.
This is part 2 of the "All Things New" series where we are taught by Rose Snowzell about the importance of the House of the Lord being a house of prayer. The Pharisees forgot this and made the synagogue a house of thieves, resulting in Jesus overturning the tables. Listen along and be encouraged on how prayer is a must have in the Lord's house.
This is part 1 of our new series "All Things New". This preach by Josh Snowzell is all about how in Jesus every death can have a resurrection. Looking at the story of Lazarus it goes from tragedy to triumph because of Jesus. He raises a man from the dead in a way that is inconceivable and is the greatest miracle of his ministry.

This is potentially the most important part in studying what it means to be a good king in how David commits evil but through humility returns back to God.

This is the 3rd part of our "The Making of a King" series where we are following and learning from the life of David.

David was truly tested on his endurance and strength to trust in God even when he was being hunted by the king of Israel.

We are starting a new series called "The Making of a King". In this series we will follow the life of David and study him who had the honor of being called "a man after God's own heart". In this episode we have the amazing Rose Snowzell kicking us off and she walks through his life before he ever entered the king's palace as a service. He was the least of his brothers and was a lowly shepherd, but God chose him above everyone else in all of Israel. This preach is for those who are in the before season of seeing breakthrough in their lives and who need encouragement that God always sees even the unknown shepherds.
This is the 4th and final part of our Live Better series with a message from Pastor Josh Snowzell. This preach is all about the power of Thankfulness and why it is so important for us to be thankful/grateful in every circumstance. Because of what God has done for us we can be grateful no matter what happens to us.
This is the 3rd part of our series "Live Better" to start 2024 off knowing how we can live better. Pastors Josh and Rose are out of town this week so we have our worship leader, Dan, stepping in. This preach is all about how to run the race marked out for us with endurance.
This is the 2nd part to our "Live Better" series all about dealing with your pain through the power of forgiveness. If you missed last week this series is about living the way Jesus wants us to and following his way. In 2024, we want to live better than we ever have in the past. One way we can live better and be like Jesus is by forgiving endlessly the way God has forgiven us.
