We’re kicking off a brand new year with a brand new series at Free Church 🎉 Fresh Start | Part One: Shift Your Perspective is all about personal transformation, not resolutions, but real change.
In this message, we explore 2 Corinthians 5:14-21 and discover how the way you see life shapes the way you live it. Your past doesn’t define you. You’re not behind. You’re not too far gone. You’re just not done yet.
We talk about why resolutions fail, the power of perspective, and two simple shifts that can lead to lasting change.
This is a great message to start the year strong, and a great one to invite your friends to.
📖 2 Corinthians 5:14–21 🙏 “God, help me shift my perspective.”
614 is a Free Church podcast about faith, formation, and everyday life. Inspired by Isaiah 61:4, it’s a space for honest conversation and practical biblical wisdom — helping us rebuild what’s broken, renew our minds, and restore our lives to purpose, one step at a time.
Following Jesus isn't just about hearing His words—it’s about doing them. In Part 2 of our Pathways of Wisdom series, we’re moving from reflection to action.

Unexpected Grace: Getting Honest
We all have skeletons in the closet, shame, secrets, and brokenness we try to hide. But the Christmas story shows us something unexpected: God works through imperfect people. Even Jesus’ family line includes outsiders, sinners, and scandal… yet God uses them to bring salvation.
In this message, we look at Judah and Tamar, the power of confession, and how honesty becomes the doorway to healing. Grace meets us when we stop hiding.
Takeaways:
• Get honest with God
• Get honest with the trusted community
• Let grace reshape how you see yourself
Brokenness kept inside destroys us, but unexpected grace sets us free.

ReJOYce | Finding Strength in the Joy of the Lord
Joy isn’t just an emotion — it’s a spiritual strength. In this message, we explore how the joy of the Lord becomes our anchor, our fuel, and our reminder that God delights in His people.
From Nehemiah 8:8–11, we see a moment where God’s Word moves hearts, not to sorrow, but to joy. A holy joy. A strengthening joy.
C.S. Lewis reminds us that joy is more than happiness or pleasure; it is a deep delight our souls long to return to again and again.
Scripture shows us God’s heart:
Isaiah 42:1 — God delights in His chosen one.
Zephaniah 3:17 — God rejoices over us with singing.
1 Peter 1:8 — We are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy because of Jesus.
This message will help you:
1️⃣ Recognize the joy God gives
2️⃣ Reside in the joy that sustains you
3️⃣ Extend the joy to the world around you
At the end of it all, remember this truth:
God reJOYces over you.
If you want, I can also give you:
✅ a shorter version
✅ a YouTube description with hashtags
✅ a title + thumbnail text ideas
JOY is found over 70 times in the book of Psalms. Biblical joy is more than an emotion. It is a mindset or a way of living that is a fruit of the spirit, and it comes from one's connection ( relationship) to GOD, not from circumstances.
John 15:11
Joy is found and seen in one who abides in Christ.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 Joy isn’t meant to be contained; it’s meant to overflow. In this message, Pastor Chester Mupaya unpacks what it means to live in the overflow of God’s presence, where joy, peace, and hope become more than emotions; they become the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) that refreshes not only us but everyone around us. From Genesis 1:26 to John 4:14, we’re reminded that God designed us to reflect His nature, and that true joy is found only in Him. When we drink from His living water, it becomes a spring that flows out of us, bringing comfort and life to others (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). This week’s challenge: Find someone to comfort with the same comfort God has given you. That’s the practical overflow of joy in action!Scripture Highlights:Romans 15:13Galatians 5:22John 4:13–14Ecclesiastes 3:112 Corinthians 1:3–4Subscribe for more messages that bring life, hope, and joy:@FreeChurchSA#ReJOYce #OverflowOfJoy #FreeChurch #ChesterMupaya #Faith #HolySpirit #JoyInChrist #LivingWater #BibleTeaching #ChristianMotivation
