Freedom Fellowship Church with Ren Schuffman

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if the thing that looks like a blessing is actually hiding a trap? The enemy doesn't always tempt us with something obviously evil. Sometimes the bait looks good, feels right, and promises exactly what we want.**The Devil Hides the Hook | The Hook Plus**In this challenging and eye-opening message from Freedom Fellowship Church, discover how the enemy disguises consequences behind attractive opportunities—and why God's boundaries are an expression of His love, not a restriction on your freedom.Using the powerful illustration of a fisherman hiding a hook with bait, this sermon explores the deception that can pull believers away from their relationship with God.**In this message, discover:**- Why the enemy hides the consequences of temptation- How to recognize spiritual traps disguised as opportunities- Why God's correction is designed to protect you- What the enemy is really targeting in spiritual warfare- How to love people without compromising truth- Why repentance requires more than simply saying you're sorryFrom the Garden of Eden to Samson, Judas, and the temptation of Jesus, Scripture reveals a consistent pattern: what looks good isn't always what God has for you.The ultimate goal of the enemy isn't simply to damage your circumstances. It's to pull you away from fellowship with God.But you don't have to keep falling for the same traps.It's time to recognize the hook, receive God's protection, and walk in the freedom He has for you.**Scripture focus:** Matthew 24:36–38, with additional teaching from Genesis, Judges, the Gospels, and Revelation.▶️ Subscribe for Spirit-filled worship, biblical teaching, discipleship, and messages that challenge and equip believers to live out their faith.💬 What is one area where you've learned that God's boundaries were actually protecting you?Share this message with someone who needs encouragement to recognize the difference between what looks good and what comes from God.#ChristianLiving #SpiritualWarfare #Discernment #Faith #FreedomFellowshipChurch━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What happens when God opens the door for change, but His people refuse to step through it?**God doesn't need more spectators. He needs builders.**In this challenging message, **A Nehemiah Call**, Apostle Ren Schuffman confronts passive Christianity and calls believers to become active participants in advancing the Kingdom of God.Using the story of Nehemiah and the biblical command to seek the welfare of our cities, Apostle Ren explains why faith cannot stop at prayer, church attendance, or good intentions.Nehemiah petitioned the king, secured resources, and opened the door for restoration. But it was the people who actually rebuilt the walls.**The question is: Are we willing to become the builders?**In this message, discover:• Why Christians are called to care about their communities and the people leading them.• What Nehemiah teaches us about spiritual influence, leadership, and taking action.• Why being nice isn't always the same as being kind.• How prayer and practical obedience work together.• Why God may be positioning Freedom Fellowship Church for a new season of growth and greater impact.• What it means to move from simply receiving ministry to actively participating in God's work.Apostle Ren also shares personal experiences ministering internationally, his vision for the future of FFC, and a powerful call to become a generation that doesn't merely watch God move—but joins Him in the work.**Key Scriptures:**Jeremiah 29:7 | Nehemiah 2 | Nehemiah 6:15🔥 **It's time to stop sitting on the sidelines.

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if the very thing you think disqualifies you is the reason God chose you?Too many people are living beneath their calling because they've allowed failure, insecurity, shame, and the opinions of others to determine their identity. But what happens when we stop asking, "Who am I?" and start asking, "Who does the I AM say I am?"In this powerful message from Freedom Fellowship Church, discover why God doesn't need you to be perfectly qualified before He calls you. He wants you to recognize the power of His presence.When Moses questioned his ability to lead, God didn't give him a list of qualifications. He promised to be with him.**Your weakness doesn't cancel your calling. God's presence changes everything.**Through the encounters of Moses, Isaiah, Peter, and John, this message explores:• Why your mistakes don't define your identity • The difference between positive thinking and genuine transformation • Why God's presence matters more than your qualifications • How prayer renews your mind and changes your perspective • Why you don't have to be perfect to be used by God • How to overcome shame, insecurity, and fear of failure • What it means to believe and speak what God says about you**Key Scriptures:** Exodus 3:11–14, Isaiah 6, John 18:4–6, James 3:9–10, Acts 4:13, Romans 12:2, and Psalm 139:14.Stop allowing your worst moments to become the final word about who you are.Get closer to the I AM, and discover who He created you to be.We're passionate about equipping believers to encounter God, grow in their faith, and advance His Kingdom.Subscribe for biblical teaching, discipleship, supernatural ministry, and messages that challenge you to live your faith boldly.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded that their past does not disqualify their future.#IdentityInChrist #ChristianFaith #Purpose #RenewYourMind #FreedomFellowshipChurch━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if the greatest threat to your harvest isn't the enemy stealing it—but fear convincing you to destroy it yourself?God called Gideon while he was hiding in a winepress. He was trying to preserve what little he had, but God was preparing him to deliver an entire nation.In The Gideon Generation: A Prophetic Uprising, Apostle Ren Schuffman delivers a challenging message about spiritual harvest, prophetic restoration, authentic worship, and the generation God is raising up for revival.Through biblical teaching and personal testimonies, Pastor Ren explores why the church must move beyond religious routine and rediscover the heart, presence, and power of God.In this message, discover:• Why Gideon's hiding place reveals something about our own fears and limitations.• How worship cultivates God's presence and why His glory is our rear guard.• Why counterfeit prophetic activity should not cause us to reject genuine spiritual gifts.• How to recognize prophetic ministry that points people back to the heart of Jesus.• Why focusing on a few problems can cause us to destroy the good things growing in our lives.• Why the next generation must be equipped to carry revival beyond the church walls.Key Scriptures: Judges 6, Isaiah 6, Isaiah 58:8, Matthew 13:24–30, Ephesians 6, and Acts 2:17–18.The church was never meant to simply gather, enjoy a service, and return to life unchanged. We are called to encounter God, be transformed, and bring His Kingdom into the world.The question is no longer simply whether revival is coming.Are we willing to step out of hiding and steward the harvest?Watch the full message, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and subscribe for more biblical teaching and Spirit-filled ministry from Freedom Fellowship Church.#PropheticUprising #ChristianRevival #GideonGeneration #HolySpirit #FreedomFellowshipChurch━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Special Guest - Danny Silk What would your life look like if you were ten times more courageous than you are right now?In this powerful and deeply encouraging message, Danny Silk challenges us to rediscover something many believers have slowly surrendered: the freedom to dream.You were created in the image of God, and there is a unique design, calling, and purpose within you. But disappointment, fear, failure, rejection, and deferred hope can cause us to shrink our lives until our dreams feel impossible.Danny reminds us that free people dream.When God brings us out of captivity, He doesn't simply free us to survive—He frees us to become who He created us to be.In this message, you'll discover:• Why your dreams can reveal part of your God-given design• How deferred hope can affect the condition of your heart• Why fear often becomes loudest when you're approaching your destiny• How dreams help bring direction and alignment to your life• What happens when you begin dreaming with God• Why courage is essential to walking through the door of opportunity• The power of writing down the dreams and vision God has placed in your heart• How God can accomplish things you once believed were impossible• Why disappointment doesn't have to become the end of your story• How to give yourself permission to dream againDanny shares the unforgettable picture of the “dogs of doom” guarding the door of destiny—voices of fear telling you that you'll fail, be humiliated, or lose everything if you move forward.But sometimes the things that looked like giant threats from a distance turn out to have far less power than we gave them.The question becomes:What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?What dream would you pursue?What would change tomorrow if you suddenly became ten times more courageous?And what might happen if you stopped dreaming only about what you could accomplish—and started dreaming with God?Danny also challenges us to do something practical:Write down 100 dreams.Write the vision. Make it clear. Revisit it. And allow God to show you that He may be paying far more attention to the desires He's placed within you than you realized.Some of you stopped dreaming because life didn't turn out the way you expected.Some lowered your expectations because hoping again felt too dangerous.This message is an invitation to open your heart again.Permission to dream: GRANTED.It's time to hope again.It's time to dream again.It's time to step through the door.#DannySilk #DareToDreamAgain #DreamWithGod #FaithOverFear #ChristianMotivation #KingdomMindset #Purpose #Destiny #HolySpirit #FreedomFellowshipChurch━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if the fight you're facing isn't evidence that you've lost God's favor—but part of the journey into it?In **Favor After the Fight**, Apostle Ren Schuffman looks at the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and challenges the way we often think about God's favor.Gideon wasn't standing confidently on a battlefield when God called him a mighty man of valor. He was hiding. Israel was oppressed. Resources were scarce. Gideon's circumstances looked nothing like the identity God spoke over him.But something began to change when Gideon chose to trust what God said and put his faith into action.Sometimes we're waiting for God to give us another sign while God is waiting for us to respond to what He's already spoken.This message explores:• Why resistance doesn't necessarily mean you've missed God• What Gideon's sacrifice teaches us about active faith• Why God can speak identity over you before you see it yourself• What happens when circumstances shrink instead of grow• How obedience prepares you to walk into what God has spoken• Why the fight doesn't get the final wordYou may be looking at the battle and wondering where God's favor went.Don't quit there.The fight does end—and favor does come.Watch **Favor After the Fight**, share it with someone who's fighting through a difficult season, and subscribe for more messages from Freedom Fellowship Church in Oklahoma City.Freedom Fellowship ChurchTRAIN | EQUIP | DEPLOY━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to establish the Kingdom of God everywhere He sends us.🙏 Need prayer?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman What if Christians were never supposed to retreat from culture—but were actually called to shape it?In this powerful message from Freedom Fellowship Church, Apostle Ren Schuffman unpacks Jesus’ command in Luke 19:13:**“Occupy till I come.”**This isn't a call to hide inside the church and wait for Jesus to return. It's a call to advance.Ren explores the biblical picture of the **Ekklesia** as a governing people of God—believers carrying Kingdom authority into their families, businesses, workplaces, education, entertainment, science, medicine, government, ministry, and every other sphere God has called them to influence.For too long, the Church has surrendered territory because we were afraid of looking controversial, becoming associated with counterfeit versions of spiritual gifts, or engaging a culture moving away from God.But darkness didn't gain ground simply because darkness became powerful.**Light withdrew.**It's time to occupy again.🔥 IN THIS MESSAGE:• What Jesus meant by “Occupy till I come”• Understanding the Ekklesia and Kingdom authority• Possessing the gates of the enemy• Why Christians are called to influence culture• The role of apostles and prophets today• Restoring the full fivefold ministry• Why the pulpit isn't your only place of Kingdom influence• Business, multiplication, favor, and Kingdom resources• Moving beyond a survival mentality• Taking back territory the Church surrendered• Bringing Kingdom culture into the workplace• Christians in entertainment, education, science, medicine, and government• Why prayer and practical action belong together• The danger of religious power without love• How love protects Kingdom authority from becoming control• Becoming a culture setter wherever God places you• Walking in favor for the sake of your assignmentThe goal isn't simply to become rich, powerful, or influential.Kingdom prosperity is having what you need to accomplish the assignment God has given you.Kingdom influence isn't about putting people beneath your feet.It's about washing feet.When authority is governed by love, we don't occupy territory to keep people out—we occupy so we can invite people into something better.📖 KEY SCRIPTURES & THEMES:Luke 19:13Matthew 16:18The EkklesiaThe Fivefold MinistryPossessing the GatesBeing Fruitful & MultiplyingKingdom AuthorityKingdom InfluenceFaith, Hope & LoveHealing & DeliveranceYour assignment isn't simply to survive this world long enough to escape it.You carry the Kingdom of God.Your workplace can be Kingdom territory.Your business can be Kingdom territory.Your family can be Kingdom territory.Your creativity can be Kingdom territory.Your calling can shift culture.The question is:**What has God called YOU to occupy?**Ren closes the message by praying for a renewed spirit of faith, hope, love, favor, healing, and Kingdom advancement—and declaring that this is not a season to shrink back.**It's a season to advance.**You are deployed to occupy.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Join us as we pursue the presence of God, grow in the gifts of the Spirit, and become equipped to carry the Kingdom of Heaven everywhere God sends us.👍 LIKE this message if it challenged you.💬 COMMENT: What area has God called you to occupy?🔔 SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications for more Kingdom teaching, worship, prophetic ministry, and messages from Freedom Fellowship Church.#OccupyUntilHeComes #KingdomOfGod #RenSchuffman #KingdomCulture #Ekklesia #FivefoldMinistry #Apostolic #Prophetic #ChristianLeadership #FreedomFellowshiphttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) https://anchor.fm/freedom-fellowship/message (Subscribe to our Audio podcast) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Apostle Ren Schuffman Are you waiting for the waters to part before you take a step? What if God is not calling you to walk through the storm but to walk on top of it?In this message, we explore two powerful kingdom moments side by side. The first is Moses and the parting of the Red Sea, where God made a clear path through an impossible situation. The second is the disciples on the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus walked on the water and invited Peter to do the same. Both are expressions of God's power. But they are not the same path, and recognizing which one He is calling you to changes everything.We dig into why Jesus was walking on the water in the first place. Job 9:8 tells us that only God treads on the waves of the sea. Jesus was not taking a shortcut. He was making a declaration, fulfilling Scripture, and revealing Himself as Yahweh in the flesh. When He said I am to the frightened disciples, He was not just calming their nerves. He was telling them exactly who He is.We also take a closer look at Peter, the one disciple who stepped out of the boat. Yes, he began to sink. But Peter walked on water twice, once going toward Jesus and once coming back with Jesus holding his hand. The eleven who stayed dry never experienced what Peter did. Sitting safely in the boat and criticizing those who step out is not faith. It is fear dressed up as wisdom.We also explore why things sometimes break when God starts to bless us. When Jesus filled Peter's nets the first time, they broke, not because of an enemy attack, but because the nets were not prepared for that kind of harvest. The same is true for new wineskins. When God pours something new into an old, rigid container, it cracks. The blessing is not the problem. The unprepared vessel is.This message also covers the difference between serving God and being a servant of God, why character matters more than talent or strategy, and what it looks like to run toward a storm instead of away from it.Topics covered include faith over fear, walking by faith, stepping out in faith, trusting God in hard times, spiritual growth, overcoming doubt, Peter walking on water, Moses and the Red Sea, new wineskins, God's blessing, servant leadership, Christian living, and how to hear God's voice in a storm.If you have been waiting for clear skies before you move, this message is for you. The goal is not to avoid the hard thing. It is to walk through it, or over it, with your hand in His.#FaithOverFear #WalkByFaith #StepOutInFaith #WalkingOnWater #TrustGod #FaithInTheStorm #SpiritualGrowth #NewWineskins #ChristianLiving #OvercomeFear #TakeTheLeap #Courage #Resilience #FindingPurpose #Breakthroughhttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?

Sermon by Pastor Chastity ParksAre you exhausted from fighting battles that were never meant to be fought alone? This message is a biblical wake-up call for anyone who has been quietly suffering, pretending everything is fine, or carrying burdens in silence while the body of Christ stands nearby, ready to help.Drawing from Psalm 144:1, Ephesians 6, Psalm 37, and Habakkuk 2, this teaching explores what it truly means to be equipped for spiritual warfare and why so many believers put on the armor of God and then sit down. God trains our hands for war, but the battle requires us to stay alert, stay connected, and stay in the fight together.Topics covered include:Why we pretend everything is fine and how to break that cycleHow God views our problems and why no prayer request is too smallWhat it means to stand firm after putting on the full armor of GodThe difference between fretting and trusting, based on Psalm 37How intercession works as a relay, not a solo assignmentWhat it looks like to function as a connected member of the body of ChristHow the enemy gets closer than we realize and what to do about itWhat married couples need to know about spiritual warfare and covering each otherIf you have been running plays by yourself and wondering why you are so tired, this message is for you. You were never designed to do this alone. Your hands were trained for war. It is time to wake up, link arms, and advance together.Keywords: spiritual warfare, armor of God, Ephesians 6, prayer and intercession, body of Christ, Christian community, Psalm 37, Psalm 144, how to pray for others, intercessory prayer, Christian marriage, fighting spiritual battles, overcoming anxiety and worry, trusting God in hard times, Christian encouragement, biblical teaching, church sermon, faith and perseverance, standing firm in faith, praying together #SpiritualWarfare #PrayerWarrior #IntercessoryPrayer #ArmorOfGod #Ephesians6 #SpiritualAuthority #ChristianLiving #PowerOfPrayer #StandFirm #DontGiveUp #KeepFighting #YouAreNotAlone #Resilience #StrongerTogether #WakeUphttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?
