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.

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. When answers feel unclear, we are invited to trust God’s word and walk by faith one step at a time.

This story ultimately points us beyond one miracle birth to a greater hope for the world. Through promise, perseverance, and fulfillment, we see God’s plan unfolding exactly as He intended. From disbelief to joy, this message reminds us that nothing is too hard for the Lord and that God is always faithful to do what He has promised.

Jesus’ heart has always been to “gather the people” so they can hear His Word, experience His presence, and be changed forever. In this message from Deuteronomy 31:12, Pastor Grant reminds us that while methods may change, the mission of reaching and teaching people for Jesus never does. As we celebrate the grand opening of our Smithfield campus and look ahead to Christmas Eve services, we’re challenged to pray with anticipation, invite others, and make room for those who need the hope of Christ.

Through the powerful story of Woody—a man whose life was completely transformed by grace—Pastor Grant shows that no one is beyond God’s reach. This message encourages us to move past complacency and embrace joy, love, and bold faith as we partner with God to change lives, communities, and the world for Jesus Christ.

Jesus said the gospel would be proclaimed to every nation before the end comes, and Matthew 24:14 gives us a powerful picture of God’s heart for the world. This verse reveals the depth of His love for every people group and reminds us that the mission of the church is bigger than our comfort, our routines, or our borders. Changing the world begins by understanding who God is calling us to reach, what message we carry, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to be His witnesses wherever we are.

This message calls us to step into that mission with urgency and obedience. From our neighborhoods filled with the nations to the unreached people groups in the 10/40 Window, God invites His church to pray, give, go, and use their everyday lives to make Jesus known. We are placed in this generation with unprecedented opportunity, and the time to respond is now.
