First Free Church

Pastor Andrew Miller In this message, Pastor Andrew Miller continues in Revelation, exploring Jesus' message to the church in Pergamum and the call to remain loyal to Christ in a culture filled with competing influences and spiritual pressures. Through Revelation 2:12–17, we learn about the call to loyalty, the enemies of loyalty, and the provision Jesus gives His people to remain faithful as they fight against the currents that pull them away from Him.

Pastor Adam Bowers What do you do with shame that feels bigger than you? In this message from 2 Chronicles 29:5 to 11, Pastor Adam walks us through King Hezekiah stepping into a nation marked by spiritual ruin. The temple was closed, worship had stopped, and the people lived under a heavy legacy of failure and disgrace. Hezekiah did not ignore the shame. He confronted it and called the people back to God. This sermon explores the difference between holy shame that leads to repentance and unhealthy shame that destroys identity. We also see a clear path from shame to renewal through six key words: Listen. Purify. Remove. Remember. Commit. Lead. If shame has been stealing your vision or holding you back from bold faith, this message is for you. Your past does not disqualify you from God’s future. Renewal begins when we open the doors again.

Pastor Andrew Miller Humans can endure incredible suffering when they know it has purpose. Athletes push their bodies for Olympic dreams. Parents work exhausting jobs for their children. Patients keep fighting for the sake of those they love. But when purpose is removed, suffering becomes unbearable. In this message, we explore where true purpose is found and why so many of our attempts to find meaning... in family, success, pleasure, money, impact, or career, can still leave us empty. Drawing from Scripture, theology, and real-life stories, we look at God’s purposes for humanity and how aligning our lives with them gives lasting meaning. This teaching concludes our series, What We Believe About God, focusing on God as the Gracious Finisher, the One who brings His purposes to completion. We unpack three core purposes revealed in Scripture: God’s story of redemption God’s promise of restoration God’s ultimate purpose: His glory Through passages from Exodus, Psalms, Hebrews, Revelation, and the New Testament, we see how God is redeeming people, restoring all things, and inviting us to participate in His work, both now and forever. If you’ve ever wrestled with discouragement, confusion, or questions about your purpose, this message offers hope, clarity, and a deeper vision of what it means to live a life aligned with God’s eternal plan.

Adam Bowers In this message, Pastor Adam begins a new series exploring four aspects of who God is: the Holy Architect, the Loving Community, the Sovereign King, and the Gracious Finisher. This teaching introduces God as the Holy Architect, emphasizing that while many spiritual beings exist, there is only one true, supreme Creator: Yahweh, the God of gods. Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Adam explains how the Bible uses the word “elohim,” why God is utterly unique among all spiritual beings, and how creation itself reveals intentional design, order, and purpose. Pastor Adam also unpacks what it means to believe in one God who is Creator of all things, holy, and infinitely perfect. Through biblical theology, illustrations from science and history, and Moses’ final words to Israel, this message challenges us to recognize God as the ultimate standard of truth and morality, and to respond with wholehearted love, obedience, and faithfulness to the one true God.

What if the story of the Prodigal Son isn’t just about rebellion… but about self-righteousness too? In this message from Luke 15, we walk through one of Jesus’ most well-known parables—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the two lost sons—and ask a deeply personal question: Where do you show up in the story? This sermon challenges both the prodigal and the faithful churchgoer, revealing that both sons wanted the things of the Father without the heart of the Father. Through humor, cultural insight, and a powerful call to repentance, this message invites us to stop standing outside the celebration and join the party God is throwing for the lost. In this message, you’ll explore:Why Jesus tells three stories of being lost before the Prodigal SonThe danger of self-righteousness and “doing everything right”What true repentance and true belief actually produceWhy God celebrates repentance more than performanceHow love—not labels—is meant to be the defining mark of Christians This is a message about grace. About faith that moves beyond words. About love that shows up with hands and feet. And ultimately, it asks one unavoidable question: Will you join the party, or stay outside?
