Welcome to the Hickory Grove Holiness Church Podcast, where we share weekly sermons and messages from our church family. Each episode is rooted in Scripture and filled with encouragement, practical wisdom, and truth to help you grow closer to Christ in your everyday life. If you missed a Sunday, want to revisit a message, or are simply seeking hope, we would like to invite you to listen in. Our heart is to make God’s Word accessible beyond the walls of the church and to remind you that you are not walking this journey alone. Pull up a chair, lean in, and be part of what God is doing through our community.
On Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, Bro. Evans Freeman brings a direct and convicting message titled “A Portrait of Grace” from Luke 23:32–43. Looking at the scene of Calvary, this sermon walks through the suffering of Christ, the weight of the cross, and the powerful moment between Jesus and the thief beside Him.
What may look like a dark and hopeless picture becomes something entirely different when seen through the lens of grace. In the middle of pain, rejection, and judgment, Jesus still speaks forgiveness and offers salvation.
This message is a reminder that no one is too far gone, no life is beyond reach, and grace is still being extended today. Even now, He is calling, “Father, forgive them,” and making a way for anyone willing to turn to Him.

But the Blood
Guest speaker Elliot Freeman delivers a direct and personal message from Ephesians 2:13–14, “But the Blood.” Centered on the power of Jesus’ sacrifice, this sermon reminds us that what once separated us from God has been overcome through the blood of Christ.
With a simple but weighty focus, the message points back to a foundational truth: forgiveness, peace, and access to God are not earned, they are given through the blood. Whether you feel distant, worn down, or just in need of renewal, this sermon emphasizes that the same blood that saves is the same blood that sustains.
If you’ve ever asked how you can keep going, how you can be restored, or how you can stand in difficult seasons, the answer is steady and clear: not by your strength, but by the blood.

Are You Strong Enough?
In this message from Job 1:6–7, “Are You Strong Enough?” confronts a real question every believer faces. The Scripture reveals Satan actively searching, walking to and fro, looking for someone to test and tear down. It is a reminder that spiritual battles are not distant, they are present and personal.
This sermon speaks directly to the pressure, temptation, and attacks believers face today. It challenges the idea that we can stand on our own strength and points instead to the necessity of being strong in the Lord. Like Job, we may be tested, but we are not without help or purpose in the trial.
If you’ve felt overwhelmed, targeted, or close to giving up, this message calls you to stand firm, stay alert, and trust that God is still in control even when the enemy is at work.

“The Charge to the Church”
In this sermon, “The Charge to the Church,” based on 1 Timothy 6:11–12, the church is urged to remain watchful, steadfast, and fully committed to God in the last days. This message warns of the danger of deception, spiritual complacency, and falling away, while calling believers to flee worldly distractions and follow after righteousness, faith, love, patience, and meekness. With a clear challenge to fight the good fight of faith, this sermon reminds listeners that a form of religion is not enough. The church must hold firmly to truth, endure in faith, and keep its focus on eternal life in Christ.

“A Day You’ll Never Forget”
In this message from Exodus 17:8–16, “A Day You’ll Never Forget” highlights a powerful moment when God gave Israel victory in the middle of battle. As Moses lifted the rod of God and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the people were reminded that true victory does not come by human power alone, but by the help and presence of the Lord. Centered on Exodus 17:14, this sermon calls believers to remember the moments when God stepped in, fought for them, and proved Himself faithful. With the name Jehovah Nissi, “The Lord is my Banner,” this message points to God as our defender, our covering, and the one who leads us to victory in every spiritual battle.

This special baby dedication service, based on Exodus 2:1–4, reflects on the faith and courage of Moses’ parents as they entrusted their child to God in a time of uncertainty. With a focus on the sacred responsibility of parents and the support of the church, this message highlights the importance of prayer, surrender, and raising children in the truth and calling of God.

He’s Taking it One Piece at a Time
Luke 11:21–22 paints the picture of a strong man guarding his house, confident in his armor… until someone stronger shows up. That’s the tension we live in. The enemy doesn’t always kick the door in with a sledgehammer. Sometimes he’s patient. Sometimes he takes the armor one piece at a time. A compromise here, a distraction there. A loosened grip on prayer. A neglected Word. Before long, the breastplate is gone, the shield is down, and you’re standing exposed thinking you’re still armed.
But the truth is, Jesus is the only one strong enough to stop the stripping. He doesn’t just defend; He disarms the one who thought he had you secure.

“Are You Ready To Go?”
Scripture: Revelation 22:17–21 (KJV)
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely… He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
In the closing verses of Revelation, the invitation is given and the promise is sealed: Christ is coming quickly. In this episode, we reflect on the urgency of being prepared, the hope of His return, and the blessing of living with eternity in view. What does it mean to be ready when He comes? How do we live as those who eagerly await the Bridegroom?
Join us as we take to heart the final words of Scripture and echo the cry of the Church through the ages: “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

"Hangin' Long Enough"
In this debut episode of our sermon podcast, Pastor Evans Freeman draws from Psalm 137 to deliver a compelling message titled "Hangin' Long Enough." He focuses on the moment in the psalm when David, in his exile, hung his harp in the willow tree, symbolizing the abandonment of his God-given gifts during a season of despair. Pastor Freeman challenges us to reflect on the times when we've "hung up" our talents, dreams, and calling in the face of life's hardships. With passion and encouragement, he reminds us that it’s time to take those gifts back off the tree. It’s time to start using them again. Through this message, you'll be encouraged to rediscover the purpose and potential that God has placed within you, no matter how long you've been feeling stuck or discouraged. It's a call to reclaim what you’ve left behind and start making a difference with the gifts you’ve been given.
