Resurrection Gives You Wings
In this Easter Sunday message on sloth from Killing You Softly, we uncover one of the most overlooked and dangerous sins—not explosive or obvious, but slow, subtle, and corrosive. Looking at the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, we see how spiritual sluggishness can quietly pull us away from purpose, leaving us distracted, discouraged, and disengaged. Sloth isn’t just laziness—it’s a resistance to the things of the soul, a slow drift from what matters most. This message will help you: recognize how spiritual apathy shows up in everyday life identify areas where you’ve drifted or disengaged move from spiritual stagnation to renewed passion and actionNEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

This Could Be the Death of Me
In this sermon from Killing You Softly on the seven deadly sins, Pastor Levi Lusko confronts pride as the root beneath every other sin. Through the lens of the cross, we see that pride doesn’t just distort our lives, it slowly destroys them from the inside out. But the same cross that exposes our pride also provides the cure. As we look at Jesus’ final words, we’re invited to lay down self-absorption, self-reliance, and self-exaltation, and step into a life shaped by humility, surrender, and trust.This message will help you: recognize the different forms pride can take in your life identify how pride subtly shapes your thoughts and reactions replace self-focus with a Christ-centered lifeNEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

Starving for God, But Settling for DoorDash
In this message from Pastor Levi Lusko, we look at gluttony as more than overeating and uncover how easily our appetites can become disordered, asking food to comfort, control, or satisfy what only God can. From Eden to the table of Jesus, Scripture reveals that eating is never just neutral. You either eat yourself to death, or you eat to the glory of God.

The One Sin You Probably Don’t Struggle With
In this message from Pastor Levi Lusko, we confront the one sin most of us think we don’t struggle with, greed. Through Luke 12 and 1 Timothy 6, this teaching shows how our hearts can slowly shift from devotion to God to devotion to lesser things, and invites us to pursue contentment, generosity, and eternal treasure.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

Defense Against the Dark Arts
In this message from Pastor Levi Lusko, we’re challenged to examine what our anger is really revealing. Looking at Ephesians 4:26–32, we’re reminded that anger itself isn’t the problem, but unchecked wrath can open the door to bitterness and death. This sermon teaches us how to define, diagnose, deal with, and discharge anger through repentance and forgiveness in Christ.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

The Missing Peace
In this message, The Missing Peace, Tim Ross takes us to Mark 4, where Jesus and the disciples are caught in a violent storm, and raises the question we all whisper in chaotic seasons: “Jesus, don’t You care?” While the wind roars and Jesus rests, we learn that peace is not the absence of chaos; it's the courage to trust the One who is peace and the refusal to participate in the panic around you. Tim unpacks how the peace Jesus promised and left with us was designed to steady hearts, regulate minds, and anchor souls in every season. When the Holy Spirit governs your inner world, chaos loses its authority, fear loses its volume, and you become the calm in rooms that once overwhelmed you.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

On The Course But Not In The Race
In this message, from Pastor Levi Lusko, we’re challenged to examine whether we’re truly running the life of faith, or just drifting along the course. Looking at Hebrews 12, this message reminds us that following Jesus isn’t passive. God has set a race before each of us, and He intends to reward faithfulness. At the same time, Scripture warns that the enemy is actively trying to steal what God wants to place in our hands.This message explores:The reality of eternal rewards and the Heavenly crowns available to usHow distraction and forgetfulness quietly pull us off paceThe importance of remembering our callingRunning with focus, attention, and effortHebrews tells us to “run with endurance the race set before us, looking unto Jesus.” You’re not racing against anyone else, you’re running the course God uniquely designed for you.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

Get In The Game
In this message, Pastor Levi Lusko and Paul Rayne look at Mark 10:45 to challenge you to move from spectators to participants in the mission of Jesus.It’s easy to attend church, enjoy worship, and listen to teaching. But Jesus didn’t call us to sit in the stands; He called us to serve, to sacrifice, and to step into something bigger than ourselves. Discover that when you put skin in the game, when you join the team God is building, you'll find joy, healing, purpose, and belonging that you could never experience from the sidelines.You don’t get more saved by serving. But you do get more alive.
