“It is actually freedom to live fully submitted to whatever He says.”
If God’s Word says it, we obey it.
If God speaks, we respond—without delay.
If Jesus gave everything, we give Him first place in our hearts.
We walk in repentance, humility, and awe.
Even when no one is watching, our lives should reflect the holiness of the One we follow.
When we live to please ourselves, we become slaves to our own desires. But when we live to please the Lord, we walk in true liberty—the freedom to live fully alive, fully holy, and fully His.
Let this message shake you. Examine your heart. Are you living to please the Lord or seeking comfort, affirmation, or permission to remain the same? God is holy. And He’s calling us higher.

You were never called to simply improve your life — you were called to die to yourself and be raised with Christ. Through the power of the cross, Jesus paid the debt we could never pay and stripped the enemy of his weapons, making a way for us to live fully alive in Him.
“Until you’re ready to die, you’re not really ready to live.” — Pastor Chad Everett

“The man in the middle makes the difference!”
Proximity Is Not the Same as Relationship
This moment speaks directly to us today. Many people are near Jesus — even in church, around Christian things — but not actually with Jesus.
“You can be next to Jesus and still miss Him.” Pastor Chad Everett
The man on the left died near Jesus, but not with Jesus.
The man on the right died with Jesus, and woke up in paradise.
Which criminal are we? This is the ultimate question.
Are you the one who wants Jesus to save your life so you can keep it?
Or are you the one who says, “I deserve death. Remember me.”
Both criminals had the same opportunity.
Both were the same distance from Jesus.
Only one walked into eternity with Him.
Jesus invites you to move from beside Him to with Him.
He doesn’t force. He lets you choose.
Will you surrender?
Will you die to your old life?
Will you let the man in the middle make the difference in your life today?

Discover how God’s plan and provision for your life begins with simply being with Him.
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Chad Everett takes us into Exodus 3 and the calling of Moses to reveal three foundational truths:
God has a plan!
His provision is already built into that plan!
He invites us into partnership!
Are you asking God to be with your plans—or are you aligning yourself with His?
This message will challenge you to step out in faith, listen for His voice, and trust that wherever His plan leads, His presence will be there.
