More Fruit | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
God doesn’t just want MORE from you. He wants MORE for you!In John 15, Jesus reminds us that He is the true vine and we are the branches. Just as a branch cannot produce fruit apart from the vine, we cannot live a fruitful life apart from Him.As we continue our MORE series, Pastor Grant shares how God uses pruning, perseverance, and our daily relationship with Jesus to produce MORE fruit in our lives. Sometimes growth requires cutting away things that hold us back, but God’s purpose is always to make us more like Christ.The key...
God has More | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
Pastor Grant teaches that God has MORE for every believer and for Liberty Church, emphasizing through Ephesians 3:14–21that God wants to strengthen us spiritually, deepen our understanding of Christ’s love, and fill us with His fullness. Believersare part of God’s family across generations, and we are called to grow together rather than live out our faith alone. Liberty’stwo-year MORE Discipleship and Generosity Initiative aims for 100% engagement, encouraging everyone to take their nextstep in faith through prayer, Bible reading, baptism, small groups, serving, and giving. This initiative supports a seven-year vision to expand God’s Kingdom by launching...
The Church in Laodicea | Pastor Daniel Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The sermon focuses on Jesus’ message to the church in Laodicea in Revelation 3:14–22, emphasizing the dangers of spiritual complacency and self-sufficiency. It explains that being lukewarm in faith means lacking the commitment and passion needed to live faithfully for God. The cause of this condition is pride and the belief that material wealth and personal success mean a person has everything they need, while ignoring their spiritual poverty. The document teaches that true spiritual riches come from Christ, illustrated by the imagery of gold refined by fire, white clothes, and ointment for the eyes. It emphasizes that God corrects and...
The Church at Philadelphia | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
This message focuses on Jesus’ letter to the church in Philadelphia and the importance of remaining faithful when God provides opportunities.
Jesus is described as holy, true, and the one who holds the “key of David,” meaning He has ultimate authority to open and close doors in our lives.
The sermon emphasizes that believers should trust God’s timing rather than forcing opportunities themselves, recognizing that God can use even our “little power” for great purposes.
It also highlights historical periods of spiritual revival and encourages believers to pray for another awakening and to participate in what God is...
The Church at Sardis | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In Revelation 3, Jesus speaks to the church at Sardis, a church with a reputation for being alive but a very different spiritual reality. Pastor Grant challenges us to look beyond appearances, wake up from spiritual complacency, and remain committed to both the Word of God and the Spirit of God. God is not finished working, and He has MORE He wants to do in His church and in our lives.
The Church at Thyatira | Pastor Zac Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The letter to the church at Thyatira shows that Jesus sees both the good works and the hidden sins of His church. Although the believers at Thyatira were growing in love, faith, service, and perseverance, they tolerated false teaching and sexual immorality. Jesus, whose eyes see everything, exposes sin not to shame people but to lead them toward repentance, healing, and grace. He warns that continued refusal to repent brings judgment, while those who turn back to Him can receive mercy.
The passage calls Christians to honor God with their bodies, reject sexual immorality, and allow Christ to...
The Church at Pergamum | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The church is called to remain faithful to Jesus, proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and reach the lost before it is too late.
Jesus’ message to the church at Pergamum challenges believers to uphold biblical truth even while living in a culture hostile to Christianity. Although the church remained faithful under persecution, Jesus warned that compromise from within could be just as destructive as persecution from without. The teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans illustrate the dangers of tolerating false teaching, idolatry, immorality, and a distorted understanding of grace. Jesus calls His church to repent, reject compromise, and live distinctly as salt and light...
Letter to Smyrna | Pastor Dalton Stoltz | Liberty Live Church
The letter to the church in Smyrna shows how Jesus calls believers to remain faithful even when following Him becomes costly. Jesus reminds the suffering church that He is “the First and the Last,” who died and rose again, assuring them that He understands suffering and has power over death. Although Smyrna was poor, persecuted, and under intense pressure, Jesus declared that they were truly rich because He valued eternal faithfulness over earthly wealth and success. Jesus did not promise that their suffering would disappear; instead, He told them not to fear, explaining that their trials were limited and ulti...
The Church in Ephesus | Pastor Daniel Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
Jesus commended the church in Ephesus for their hard work, endurance, intolerance of evil, discernment of false teaching, and willingness to persevere through persecution.
However, despite doing many things right, they had abandoned their first love and were no longer pursuing Jesus with the same passion they once had.
Their example shows that it is possible to serve God, defend truth, and endure hardship while losing the love and relationship that should motivate everything we do.
Jesus calls them to remember how far they had fallen, repent by turning away...
Why Should you be Baptized | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
Why Should You Be Baptized? | Liberty Live Church
Why does Jesus call His followers to be baptized? In this message, Pastor Grant explains what baptism means and why every believer should take this step of obedience.
Baptism is a public declaration of our faith in Jesus, identifying us with His death, burial, and resurrection. It does not save us, but it shows the world that we belong to Christ.
If you have trusted in Jesus but have never been baptized, this message will encourage you to take your next step.

Run with Endurance | Pastor Daniel Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
What does it look like to run the Christian life with endurance?In this message from our series Look to Jesus, Pastor Daniel walks through Hebrews 12:1-3 and challenges us to keep running the race God has set before us. The Christian life is not a sprint. It is an endurance race that requires consistency, perseverance, and a steady focus on Jesus.Pastor Daniel shares four truths from this passage:1. The Race Is Set Before You God has a purpose, calling, and mission for your life. Are you running the race He has set before you?2. Run with Endurance...
Throw Off the Sin | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The message “Throw Off the Sin” explains that sin is not merely an action but a rebellion against God that began with Satan and entered humanity through Adam and Eve. Because all people are born with a sinful nature, sin separates us from God and produces death, brokenness, and destruction. Sin also acts as a snare, using things such as fear of people, wrong relationships, sexual immorality, greed, pride, and selfish desires to entangle and destroy us. Hebrews 12 calls believers to throw off every sin and continually put away the old nature while putting on the new, making holiness a da...
Throw Off the Weight | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
This sermon introduces the first week of a 21-day series, "Looking Unto Jesus," based on Hebrews 12:1–3, emphasizing that believers can only run their spiritual raceby keeping their focus on Jesus. Drawing from the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11, it reminds Christians that imperfect men and women of faith finished their race and now encourage others to persevere. The message teaches that God has a unique purpose for every believer and challenges them toidentify and remove the "weights"—such as distractions, comparison, unhealthy habits, discouragement, and unbelief—that slow their spiritual growth, even if those things are not sinful. It stresses...

Kendall unpacks the biblical call to total forgiveness.

The Fulfillment of Faith | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The Fulfillment of Faith | Hebrews 11:39-40 | Pastor Grant EthridgeAfter 15 weeks walking through Hebrews 11, we arrive at the incredible conclusion of the “Hall of Faith.” These men and women weren’t remembered because they lived perfect lives. They were remembered because they trusted a perfect God.In this message, Pastor Grant reminds us that faith is more than believing God for a moment—it’s living a lifetime of trusting Him. Whether you’re celebrating a victory, waiting on a promise, or walking through suffering, God is still writing your story.In this message you’ll discover:
What it really means t...Unbreakable Faith | Pastor Zac Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
This message "Unbreakable Faith" from Hebrews 11 teaches that true faith is unbreakable, whether God brings miraculous breakthroughs or allows believers to endure suffering. The chapter highlights examples of God's power through people like Sarah, Moses, Daniel, and Elijah, reminding us that nothing is impossible for God. It also emphasizes that many faithful believers, including the prophets and early Christians, experienced persecution, imprisonment, and even death without losing their faith. The sermon explains that faith is not measured by earthly outcomes but by trusting and obeying God in every circumstance, whether in victory or hardship. Jesus Himself demonstrated perfect faith...
Faith of the Nation| Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The message “Faith for the Nation” teaches that God works through ordinary people who faithfully serve Him, using David, Samuel, Jeremiah, and Daniel as examples of courage, conviction, and service. David’s life shows that God values the heart over outward appearance, prepares people in private before using them publicly, and gives victory to those who trust Him rather than their own strength. Samuel demonstrates the importance of calling people back to God through prayer, repentance, and unwavering commitment to biblical truth, while drawing connections between faith and America’s founding principles. Jeremiah reminds believers to seek the good of their...
Unlikely Faith | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
What do you do when your faith feels weak? Hebrews 11:32 reminds us that God doesn’t just use perfect people—He uses willing people who trust Him.In this message, Pastor Grant explores the lives of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets, showing that each one had flaws, fears, and failures, yet God accomplished extraordinary things through their faith. Their stories remind us that faith isn’t about having it all together—it’s about trusting the One who does.No matter your past or your present struggles, God can still write a story of faith through yo...
Faith for Families | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
This Father’s Day message celebrated a giveaway winner and highlighted upcoming church events, while focusing on the biblical story of Jericho from Joshua 6 and Hebrews 11. The sermon emphasized that God brings believers to defining moments where faith and obedience determine their future, just as Joshua and the Israelites faced the challenge of conquering Jericho. Although the city’s walls seemed impossible to overcome, God promised victory and instructed the people to trust His plan rather than human logic. Their silent marches around the city demonstrated discipline, persistence, and faith even when no immediate results were visible. The message enco...
People of Faith | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
This sermon focuses on Hebrews 11:29 and the story of Israel crossing the Red Sea by faith, emphasizing that God not only brought His people out of Egypt but also brought them through impossible situations and into His promises. The message compares Israel’s deliverance through the Passover to Christian salvation, teaching that Jesus Christ is the true Passover Lamb whose sacrifice frees believers from sin and bondage. Just as God rescued Israel from slavery, salvation is presented as God's work, not human effort, moving people from darkness into His kingdom. The Red Sea crossing demonstrates that God often leads Hi...
Faith to Choose | Pastor Daniel Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The sermon focuses on the theme of “Faith to Choose” from Hebrews 11:24–29, highlighting the faith of Moses. As Moses grew up, he made a deliberate choice to identify with God’s people rather than enjoy the temporary privileges and wealth of Egypt. By faith, he valued obedience to God above earthly treasures and was willing to endure suffering for a greater eternal reward. Moses trusted God even when he could not see the outcome, persevering because he kept his eyes on the invisible God. His faith was demonstrated through actions such as observing the Passover and leading Israel through the Red...

A Mother’s Faith | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The message “A Mother’s Faith” focuses on the story of The Bible figures Abraham and Sarah, showing how God fulfilled His promise despite impossible circumstances. God promised they would become the parents of a great nation, even though Sarah was unable to have children and both were very old. During years of waiting, Abraham and Sarah struggled with doubt, impatience, and poor decisions, including involving Hagar in an attempt to force God’s plan to happen. Their mistakes caused conflict and division in the family, yet God still remained faithful to His promises. The sermon emphasizes that God often wo...
The Paradox of Faith | Pastor Daniel Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In this sermon, “The Paradox of Faith,” we walk through Hebrews 11 and the life of Abraham to discover what it means to have both the faith to GO and the faith to STAY. Abraham obeyed God even when he did not know where he was going, and he remained faithful even when he never fully saw the promise fulfilled in his lifetime. His story reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers. It is about trusting a faithful God one step at a time.𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘We’d love to connect with you!

Faithful Obedience | Pastor Corbett Casteen | Liberty Live Church
In this sermon, “Working Faith: Noah’s Obedience,” we walk through Hebrews 11:7 and the story of Noah in Genesis 6–9. In a world filled with wickedness and rebellion, Noah stood out as a man who walked with God. By faith, Noah obeyed God even when he could not see the outcome, understand every detail, or escape the opinions of the people around him.We are reminded that faithful obedience believes God when it cannot see, fears God over man, and keeps moving forward even when the questions feel overwhelming. Noah did not build the ark because it made sense to everyone...
What Pleases God? | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In this sermon, “What Pleases God?”, we walk through Hebrews 11 and are reminded that faith is not just something we say we have. It is something we live. Looking at the lives of Abel and Enoch, we see that a life that pleases God is marked by priority, consistency, and trust.Abel teaches us to give God our first and our best, not what is left over. Faith is revealed in what we prioritize, and what is first in our lives shows what matters most to us. Enoch shows us that faith is not just a moment but a dail...
What is Faith? | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In this sermon, “What Is Faith?”, we begin our By Faith series in Hebrews 11 and are reminded that faith is not wishful thinking, it is confidence in who God is and trust in what He has said. It is not about the size of your faith, but the object of your faith.We are challenged to move beyond feelings and into action. Real faith obeys God even when it does not make sense and holds onto hope when life feels uncertain. When hope fades, faith struggles, so we must fix our eyes on God’s promises and not the world...
Good Friday | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
Good Friday isn’t just about remembering the cross, it’s about what the cross accomplished. In this message, we reflect on the power of the blood of Jesus and what it means for our lives today.The blood speaks a better word over your past, your pain, and your sin. It shields, it saves, and it reminds us that Jesus didn’t just die for us, He died in our place.Through Scripture and communion, this message invites you to slow down, examine your heart, and remember the price that was paid. Because of the cross, your sin is for...
The Secret to Lasting Joy | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
This is the final week of our Living with Joy series—and you don’t want to miss it.

Pathway to Peace | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In this sermon, “Pathway to Peace,” we walk through Philippians 4:1–9 and see that the peace of God is not random, it is the result of walking in obedience to God. Paul gives a clear pathway to peace through consistency, unity, serving together, choosing joy, showing gentleness, praying with thanksgiving, and fixing our minds on what is true. This passage reminds us that peace is not the absence of problems, but the presence of God guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.You do not stumble into peace. There is a pathway that leads to it.
Living As Enemies | Pastor Daniel Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In this sermon, “Living as Enemies,” we walk through Philippians 3:17–21 and are challenged to examine what our lives actually reveal. Paul warns that it is possible to claim Christ while living in a way that opposes the cross. Through this passage, we see four clear characteristics of those who live as enemies of the cross: they focus on earthly things, glory in what should bring shame, are controlled by their appetites, and ultimately walk toward destruction.
Jesus died so that enemies of God could be reconciled and become friends of God.

One Day Revival | Pastor Scott Dawson | Liberty Live Church
It's One Day Revival at Liberty Live Church with Evangelist, Scott Hurley. Pastor Scott shared a powerful gospel message centered on three of life’s biggest questions: Why is there evil in the world? What is the meaning of life? And what happens after we die?
Press On | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In this sermon, “Press On,” we walk through Philippians 3 and are reminded that the Christian life is not about perfection but progress. Paul, who had accomplished more than most of us ever will, still said he had not arrived. Instead, he chose to press on toward the purpose for which Christ took hold of him. We are challenged to live with holy discontentment, to stay humble and hungry, and to refuse to let our past define us. We can learn from yesterday, but we cannot live there. Our sins are forgiven. Our successes are behind us. What God has for...
The Joy of Knowing Jesus | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
Joy is not something we chase. It is something we choose because of who Jesus is.In this sermon, “The Joy of Knowing Jesus,” we walk through Philippians 3 and are challenged to rethink what really matters. In a world that celebrates status, achievement, and self made righteousness, Paul reminds us that none of it compares to knowing Christ. True joy is not rooted in circumstances but in a relationship with Him. We are called to reject confidence in ourselves, receive the righteousness that comes through faith, and find our identity completely in Jesus.When everything else is counted as loss...
We're In This Together | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
We’re In This Together — In Philippians 2:19–30, Paul shows us that gospel ministry is never a solo act. Through Timothy and Epaphroditus, we see what real partnership looks like: surrendered servants, suffering soldiers, and selfless leaders who pour their lives into others.
The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Maturity isn’t measured by what we know, but by who we’re investing in. As we live for Christ and not ourselves, the gospel outlives us.
Are You on the Team? | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In this latest sermon from Pastor Grant, titled “Are You on the Team?”, Paul’s teaching in Philippians 2 is unpacked to reveal four signs of salvation: maturity, unity, purity, and victory. Using powerful illustrations from sports, teamwork, and everyday life, the sermon challenges believers to work out what God is working in, live without grumbling, shine as lights in a dark world, and rejoice together in sacrificial service. It’s a call to move beyond surface-level faith, fully surrender to the lordship of Jesus, and make sure you don’t finish life one yard short.

It's All About Jesus | Pastor Daniel Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
In this message from Hampton Campus Pastor Daniel Ethridge, we walk through Philippians 2:5–11 and discover a compact yet powerful theology of Christ. Jesus, fully God, chose humility—emptying Himself, serving others, and obeying the Father even to death on a cross. This cruciform life doesn’t just inform what we believe; it reshapes how we think, serve, and worship. As the risen and exalted Lord, Jesus redefines greatness as servanthood and calls us to daily surrender. Because it’s all about Jesus, our lives are invited into unity, humility, and joyful obedience that point the world to Him.
Gospel Witness | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The world doesn’t just need to hear the gospel—they need to see it. In this latest sermon from Pastor Grant, titled “Gospel Witness,” we walk through Philippians 1 and see what it means to live as citizens of heaven with courage, unity, and humility. Even suffering is reframed as a kingdom gift that forms us and strengthens our testimony.
