In this final part of the "Come and See" series, Pastor Meg Cooke shares her personal journey of how one invitation to a youth group by a 12-year-old friend changed the entire course of her life.

Pastor Meg uses biblical examples of Eli, Gehazi, and Judas to show how selfishness can get in the way of fulfilling God's purpose.

You are the Light (Come & See – Week 5)

Drawing from the story of Mary and Judas, Josh challenges us to consider our own response when we see God at work. Are we quick to question and…

In this preach, Pastor Josh encourages us to be bold in sharing the message of hope we have in Jesus with others. He reminds us that, as Christians, we have been appointed and sent by God to step into the lives of the people around us. We're not just meant to sit back and wait for someone to ask about our faith.

The good news is that we…

You’re the preacher (Come and See – Week 3)

Drawing on the story of a mock trial, Pastor Josh reminds us that sharing our faith can sometimes feel a bit like testifying in court when you're not fully prepared. But here’s the thing: you are the preacher, and you already have a powerful message. It’s not about knowing all the right things to say but about sharing what you've personally seen God do in your life. Pastor Josh challenges us to practice telling these stories, starting in our homes and with our friends, before we share them with the world. When we do this, our message of hope for…

Come And See What The Lord Has Done In Us (Week 2)

Pastor Josh shares about a time of transition for the church and the exciting new season God is leading us into. Drawing from the story of Elijah, he talks about how sometimes God dries up what's comfortable to move us on to bigger things and to be a part of bringing life to many more people. We are a people on the move, and this is an incredible opportunity to lean in and be a part of the amazing things God has planned for the church's future.

Come And See – What The Lord Has Done In Me (Week 1) A male pastor, holding a microphone, speaks to a congregation. The title of the sermon series, "COME & SEE what the Lord has done in me," is overlaid on a teal-coloured image of the congregation.

Come And See – What The Lord Has Done In Me (Week 1)

Pastor Josh kicks off a new series called "Come and See" by unpacking the power of our personal testimony. He shares that a testimony isn't just a dramatic story of a past life but a spoken record of God's work in our lives, both big and small. Our stories have real power because they are part of Jesus's story, and when we share them, we are actually adding to His testimony. He explains that a testimony is the "spirit of prophecy". When we share what God has done for us, we're showing what God did before, and that He can…

The Audacity to Dream

Pastor Josh Cooke preaches on the importance of having "The Audacity to Dream." It challenges us to not settle but to dream bigger for our lives and our church. Pastor Josh reminds us that as Christians, we are part of a long line of dreamers, from Joseph and Abraham in the Bible to the early church pioneers who built hospitals and schools. We're also part of a legacy of dreaming inside Freedom Church. He encourages us to be willing to say "yes" to God and to believe that God can do anything, even when our dreams seem crazy or impossible.…

I’m not for SALE (Overflow – Week 4)

In this week's message from the "Overflow" series, Pastor Xhanti shares a powerful message about how our money is really a heart issue, not a wallet one. He explains how the love of money can slowly corrupt our character, causing us to lose our focus on Jesus and his purpose for our lives. He explores the difference between earthly currency and the heavenly currency of faith. The message encourages us to stay in step with God's plans and to always remember that we are not for sale because we have already been bought at a very high price. Scripture References…

A Macedonian Mentality (Overflow – Week 3)

Pastor Josh delves into the concept of a "Macedonian Mentality," drawing inspiration from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians about the Macedonian churches. He explains that despite severe trials and extreme poverty, the Macedonians displayed overflowing joy that led to rich generosity. Pastor Josh challenges us to consider our own generosity, asking if our level of giving, if replicated across the church, would allow the church to continue its ministry. He highlights key aspects of the Macedonian mentality: giving as much as they were able by faith rather than caution, giving beyond their ability, trusting God for provision, and…

Watch what happens when it’s in His hands (Overflow – Week 2)

Watch what happens when it’s in His hands (Overflow – Week 2)

In this week's message, Pastor Josh explores the concept of "overflow" by looking at the miraculous story of Jesus feeding the five thousand. He highlights that when we place what we have, no matter how little, into God's hands, He can multiply it beyond our imagination. Josh explains that this multiplication isn't just for our benefit, but so we can be a blessing to others. He encourages us to prepare for God's blessings even before we see them, cultivate a heart of gratitude for what we already have, and understand that God often works through us to meet the needs…

Should Christians Tithe? (Overflow – Week 1)

Pastor Josh Cooke tackles the often-uncomfortable topic of money in church, sharing why he believes tithing is a vital principle for Christians today. He starts by highlighting that tithing isn't just an Old Testament concept, but a principle seen throughout the entire Bible, from Abraham to Jesus. Pastor Josh explains that God values "first fruits"—giving the best and first of our income back to Him—as an act of trust and a pathway to blessing. He unpacks why God only accepts the first, linking it to the heart with which we give. Challenging the idea that tithing is only for the…
