    Raw Questions, Real Peace: Navigating a World Gone Crazy

    Are you tired of looking for answers in all the wrong places? In this powerful message, Pastor Scott Thomas challenges us to stop seeking "real intelligence in artificial places" and to stop asking for life advice from those making the same mistakes we are. In this video, you will learn: - Strength in Imperfection: How a perfect God relates to imperfect people and makes His victory your own. - The Lamp vs. The Light: Understanding how God provides the "lamp" for the immediate step in front of you while holding the "light" for your future destination. - Aligning Your Actions: Why your immediate choices must align with the future you want to have. - Trusting the Process: A moving story about Malachi learning to swim without a life vest, illustrating how we must often push past our "I can't" to see what God can do. God is all that you need Him to be and more—providing more peace and strength than you could ever own. It’s time to bring your raw, real questions to the Word and find out how to respond to a world gone crazy. ------------------------------------ Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!

    STOP TRYING TO MAKE GOD HAPPY

    Have you been living like your relationship with God is a contract instead of a covenant? In this powerful conclusion to the "Whacked Out Christianity" series, Pastor Scott challenges the exhausting mindset that says God's love depends on your performance. Through the story of Abraham and God's everlasting covenant with Israel, he reveals a life-changing truth: your salvation is not built on your faithfulness to God, but on God's faithfulness to you. From Genesis to the teachings of Jesus, this message shows that God is not a distant creditor keeping score of your failures. He is a loving Father relentlessly pursuing His children, even when they stumble, doubt, and fall short. The same God who has remained faithful to Israel throughout history remains faithful to every believer today. In this message, you will discover: The difference between a contract and a covenant, and why it changes everything. Why God put Abraham to sleep when establishing the covenant. How God's faithfulness, not your performance, secures your relationship with Him. What Israel's survival reveals about the character and reliability of God. Why grace is greater than your failures and mercy is available every morning. How to break free from guilt, shame, and the pressure of trying to earn God's love. If you've ever wondered whether you've done enough, prayed enough, served enough, or lived well enough to keep God's approval, this message will remind you that God's covenant love is stronger than your worst mistakes. His promises stand because of who He is, not because of what you've done. Stop living under the weight of performance and start resting in the faithfulness of God. The Father isn't looking for reasons to abandon you. He's looking for ways to bring you closer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!

    Is This God’s Discipline or Has He Abandoned You?

    Are you currently facing a "siege" in your life? In this powerful message, Tomeka Thompson dives into the "absurd" story of the prophet Jeremiah, who was commanded by God to buy a field while his nation was literally being surrounded by the Babylonian army. At a time when the political climate was collapsing and the future looked dark, Jeremiah’s investment was a prophetic act of covenant hope. Thompson reminds us that "the siege might be real, but so is the promise". Even when we face seasons of discipline or hardship, it is not a sign of abandonment; rather, it is proof that God is faithful to His relationship with us and always has restoration on His mind. In this message, you will discover: * Why your understanding is not a condition of your obedience. * How God uses the "Babylons" in our lives to clean us up for a deeper relationship with Him. * The transition from Jeremiah’s physical deed to the eternal inheritance secured by Jesus on the cross. * Why you can find peace knowing that restoration is God's final word for your life. If you feel overwhelmed by your current circumstances, it’s time to "hop on His back" and let God carry you through what you cannot handle on your own. Despite what you see, walk by faith and know that the God of the empty tomb has already planned your future. ----------------------------------- Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!

    The Real Reason You’re Bored With Church

    Let’s keep it 100% real: a lot of what gets labeled as "Christianity" in today's culture is looking a little whacked out. We look at a world that’s frantic, chaotic, and unpredictable, and we wonder why our faith isn't holding up under the pressure. We hit a rough patch, and suddenly our spiritual life goes sideways. Here is the trap we fall into—we treat Sundays like an option, our spirituality as a self-directed Google search, and church attendance as a substitute for actual engagement. We try to coast on a shallow, consumer-driven faith that blends secular culture with a little bit of Jesus, and then we're shocked when life's weight causes us to collapse. We are trying to balance the full weight of our struggles on an incomplete foundation. True biblical Christianity isn’t an intellectual belief or a part-time hobby—it is a stable, fully-supported lifestyle built on three non-negotiable pillars: Confession, Commitment, and Connection. You cannot live on a two-thirds faith. God is calling us out of partial obedience and inviting us into a fresh, daily alignment with His word. He’s telling us to burn the ships of our past and go all-in. When you shift from being a spectator to a practicing, fully-engaged disciple, everything changes. Commitment actually makes serving Jesus easier. The anxiety of shifting back and forth between your old life and your new life vanishes. You walk in absolute freedom from guilt, clear spiritual vision, and the unbreakable security of a Kingdom family that has your back. Stop playing with a partial faith—it’s time to find your footing and move forward! ___ Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!

    The Plan Without The Panic

    We all walk them every single day—those invisible boundaries where a strength can quickly slide into a failure. On this Mother’s Day, we are tackling the most common tightrope we walk: The Thin Line between Preparation and Worry. In 2026, we are officially the most connected yet most anxious generation in history. We treat worry like a "side hustle," thinking if we process our fear long enough, we can change the outcome. But here’s the reality: worry is a thief that steals the joy of today without changing a single thing about tomorrow. Jesus didn’t just give us a suggestion in Matthew 6; He gave us a survival guide. The solution is to move from ownership to stewardship. When you realize you aren't the CEO of the universe, the pressure moves from your shoulders to His. By learning to rest, trust, and link up in community, you stop running on the treadmill of anxiety. You start living on "Daily Bread"—fresh mercy and provision for the next 24 hours—allowing you to stand victorious even in a stressful world. ___ Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!

    Why You Can’t Believe Everything

    Have you ever looked at a late-night burger commercial, placed your DoorDash order, and when you opened the bag... it looked absolutely nothing like the advertisement? Too many of us are experiencing that exact same thing in our faith. We’ve been fed a version of "hyper-faith" or a secular "hybrid gospel" that promises immediate wealth, a Bentley in a gated community, and a total escape from life’s problems. The Pain Point: But what happens when reality sets in? What happens when you face a diagnosis you didn't expect, a betrayal you never saw coming, a financial struggle even though you’re a faithful tither, or the deep grief of loss? Suddenly, there’s a massive gap between your expectation and your actual situation—and that gap is exactly where the enemy wants your faith to take a throat punch. In this message, we unpack the life of John the Baptist—a theological powerhouse, Jesus’ cousin, and a man who found himself locked in a dark prison cell for over a year. When John began to question if Jesus was really the Messiah, Jesus didn't scold him for his doubt. Instead, Jesus gave the ultimate Kingdom answer: "Blessed is the one who is not offended by Me." The solution isn't performing harder or pretending everything is fine; it's learning to trust Jesus' true character while walking through the dark. When you anchor your life to the real Jesus rather than a false version of the Gospel, the gap closes. You move from being offended by God to being anchored in Him. You step out of the trap of performance and into a resilient, authentic faith that doesn't collapse under the weight of hard seasons. ___ Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!

    Why You Stay Stuck | What the Bible Says About Breaking Free

    Are you tired of "trying" to be a better person, a better spouse, or a better Christian? In this high-octane message, Dr. Scott Williams joins Free Life Chapel to break down why your "best efforts" are actually getting in the way of God’s best for you. We often treat our faith like a soccer game where we’re looking for scouts to notice us, but God isn’t looking for your performance—He’s looking for your surrender. We live in a culture of "hustle and performance." We’re exhausted from carrying the weight of our own mistakes, trying to fix our "gaps" with our "gifts," and performing for a God who already loves us. We feel stuck in a cycle of routine religion that has lost its "bite and traction." The solution isn't doing more; it's becoming less. Dr. Scott reveals that the Kingdom of God doesn't operate on your "good behavior" but on your "spiritual operating system" being fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit. True life isn't found in saving your life, but in losing it for His sake. When you stop performing and start surrendering, the pressure is off. You move from a "righteous frustration" to a "supernatural peace." You stop attending "church as usual" and start living an "abundant life" where your best days aren't behind you—they are unfolding right now. __ Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!
