What do you do when the battle seems stronger the closer you get to God's purpose for your life?In Overcoming the Warfare Attached to Your Harvest, guest speaker Richie Seltzer teaches that spiritual warfare often intensifies where God has spoken His promises and prepared a harvest. Looking at Jesus' baptism, His temptation in the wilderness, and the storm on the Sea of Galilee, Richie shows how the enemy attacks identity, peace, and purpose in an effort to keep believers from walking in their God-given calling.Through biblical teaching and powerful personal testimonies, Richie reminds us that the greatest resistance often surrounds the greatest assignments. Whether the battle comes through fear, discouragement, distraction, delay, or doubt, believers can overcome by standing on God's Word, resting in His presence, and trusting His timing. Vision gives purpose to pain, and God's promises remain true even when the journey is difficult.If you've drifted from the Lord or found yourself returning to old patterns, remember that this is not who you are. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, your past does not define your future. Come home to the Father, stand on what He has spoken over your life, rest in His strength instead of striving in your own, and refuse to let spiritual warfare keep you from the harvest He has prepared for you.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
we are invited to depend on the Holy Spirit and follow Christ with wholehearted obedience.Whether you are seeking direction, struggling with temptation, or longing to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus, this message will encourage you to trust the Holy Spirit, surrender your will to the Father, and faithfully walk in step with Him.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In Let Go of the Fear, guest speaker Lee Grady teaches how to confront the fear that keeps us from fully following and obeying Jesus. Through Paul and Timothy’s discipleship relationship, Lee shows how fear, insecurity, and timidity could have prevented Timothy from accepting God’s assignment. Yet God had not given Timothy a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.Lee shares five practical ways to confront fear: stop overthinking, don’t isolate, limit social media, share your heart, and find peace in prayer. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can receive healing, boldness, and peace as they open every area of their lives to God. Let go of the fear, receive the peace of Jesus, and freely say yes to His calling.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
Daughters series, Chad Everett teaches from Galatians 3 on what it means to live by faith instead of feelings. As sons and daughters of God, our identity is not based on emotional highs, personal performance, religious works, or how close to God we may feel in a moment. Our identity is secured through faith in Jesus Christ.Chad reminds us that God is building a family, not simply an organization people attend. Through faith in Christ, we become sons and daughters of God and receive the promises of God. Like Abraham, who believed God and was counted righteous, believers are called to trust what God has said above what they feel.This message challenges the religious mindset that tries to earn sonship through obedience or spiritual performance. Obedience matters, but it flows from our position as sons and daughters; it does not earn that position. Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the law, and through His blood, we are invited to stop striving, stop performing, and believe.This is a call to authentic faith. Emotional expression is not wrong, but feelings cannot become the foundation of our relationship with God. Whether we feel strong or weak, close or distant, worthy or unworthy, the truth remains the same: sons and daughters live by faith in Jesus Christ.“Both our position as sons and daughters and our possession of the promises come through faith. Our righteousness is not based on what we feel or what we earn. Our righteousness is based on what we believe.” — Chad EverettThe Roads Church - https://theroads.church

Daughters series, Chad Everett teaches how sons and daughters of God receive everything He has provided through faith.Teaching from Galatians 3, Chad explores the biblical concept of lambano—to receive, take hold of, or possess what has already been provided. Salvation, righteousness, miracles, and every promise of God begin with His grace, not our performance. God is the provider; we are the possessors. Faith does not convince God to provide. Faith enables us to receive what He has already made available through Jesus Christ.From this foundation, Chad shows that faith does more than connect us to God—it makes us sons and daughters in His family. Chad also references a message by Banning Liebscher that helped frame the contrast between seeing the church as an organization or restaurant versus seeing it as a family. Because we belong to the same Father, we are called to function as a Family of Faith.The church was never intended to operate like a restaurant where people simply attend, consume, and leave disconnected. It is a family where believers serve one another, encourage one another, disciple one another, and help one another grow in Christ.Using the illustration of a restaurant versus a family gathering, Chad challenges believers to move beyond a consumer mindset. A restaurant exists to serve customers, but a family thrives when everyone contributes. Instead of asking, “What can I get from church?” sons and daughters begin asking, “Who does God want me to serve, encourage, and minister to?”This message invites believers to receive by faith what God has provided by grace and to live as active members of the family of God. As sons and daughters through faith, we are called to become a Family of Faith that serves, connects, matures, and grows together in relationship with Jesus.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In Consider Your Ways: The Temple God Wants to Build, Chris Pollard brings a timely word from Haggai 1 that calls the church to wake up, examine our ways, and return to what matters most.The hour is late. This is not the time for comfort, compromise, distraction, deception, or delay. God is calling His people to build again, not just outwardly, but inwardly. He is looking for a living temple where His Spirit can dwell, take pleasure, and be glorified.Haggai 1 confronts the people of God with a sobering question: while our own lives are being carefully maintained, has the house of the Lord been neglected? Today, that question reaches beyond buildings and into the heart of every believer. Is my life a temple where God is pleased to dwell? Is my obedience delayed? Has my focus drifted? Have I allowed the patterns of this world to shape my mind more than the truth of God’s Word?God is not merely looking for performance, platforms, or external appearance. He is building people. He is calling His church to come out of spiritual apathy and become fully surrendered, Spirit-led, and renewed in truth.The enemy’s pattern is clear: culture influences, the mind becomes conformed, the heart begins to drift, and obedience gets delayed. But the kingdom pattern is stronger: truth enters in, the mind is renewed, the Spirit leads, and the life is transformed.This is a call to stop postponing obedience. It is a call to come out of comfort and compromise, reject passivity and spiritual drift, and consider your ways before the Lord. God is building something in His people, and now is the time to respond.While listening, allow the Holy Spirit to awaken fresh surrender, renewed obedience, and a deeper commitment to become the temple God is pleased to dwell in.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
We've heard the scripture, memorized the verses, and learned the lessons. Yet knowing the truth and living the truth are not the same thing.In this message, Justin Younger challenges us to move beyond familiarity and examine whether the light of Christ is truly shining through every area of our lives. Because Christ lives in us, we are called to be His light in a dark world. There is no mixture between light and darkness, and every believer has been called to be a witness, not just with words, but through the way we live.From our homes and families to our workplaces and daily relationships, our lives are constantly pointing people toward either the light of Christ or the darkness of this world. The answer to darkness is not complaining about it - it is allowing the light of Jesus to shine brighter through us.This message is a call to personal responsibility, spiritual examination, and renewed intimacy with Jesus. If you've heard these scriptures your whole life, the question remains: What are you doing with what you know?The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In this message from the Spiritual Authority Restored In Christ sermon series, Chad Everett teaches that every believer has been given both a God-given assignment and the fire of the Holy Spirit to fulfill it. As Jesus spoke in Mark 13 about His return, He also revealed how His followers are meant to live until that day comes: take heed, watch, pray, and remain faithful to the work He has entrusted to them.This Pentecost Sunday message explores the connection between the believer’s purpose, spiritual authority, and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Chad explains that the fire of God is not merely emotion or enthusiasm, but the person of the Holy Spirit working within believers to guide, strengthen, comfort, and purify them for the work of the Kingdom.Throughout the sermon, the call is clear: don’t become distracted by lesser storylines, cultural confusion, fear, or personal ambition. Instead, stay focused on Jesus, stay awake spiritually, and remain committed to the Father’s business. Every follower of Christ has a purpose, and Jesus has given both authority and fire to accomplish it.This message also challenges believers to remain in the refining process of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit not only empowers ministry, but also exposes and purifies areas of fear, pride, insecurity, and flesh so believers can be conformed into the image of Christ. The goal is not simply to begin well, but to finish faithfully.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In this message from the Spiritual Authority: Restored In Christ sermon series, Chad Everett walks through Mark 13, the biblical feasts, and the prophetic story line of Scripture to reveal a powerful truth: the goal of prophecy is not merely predicting a date — it is knowing Jesus.Jesus warned His followers about deception, distraction, wars, fear, and spiritual confusion in the last days. Yet throughout His teaching, the focus was never fear. The focus was readiness, endurance, and relationship with Him.This sermon explores how the biblical feasts in Leviticus 23 point directly to Jesus Christ — from His crucifixion and resurrection to the possibility of His future return. Chad also explains the imagery of the Jewish bridegroom and bride, revealing how believers are called to prepare themselves for the return of Christ.More than understanding prophecy, this message calls believers to:stay focused on Jesus,discern the season spiritually,preach the gospel boldly,and live ready for His return.“The gospel is not about predicting a date so we can just have some knowledge, but knowing a man.”The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
What does it really mean to live a beautiful life?In this message, Dawn Everett challenges believers to look beyond outward appearance, busyness, success, and the pressure of the world, and instead focus on becoming beautiful on the inside through truly knowing the Lord.Using Proverbs 3:5–6 and the life of Deborah in Judges 4–5, this sermon calls us to stop leaning on our own understanding and start living with confidence in the voice and direction of the Lord. In a distracted and pressured world, God is calling His people back to intimacy with Him, making room for His presence, and learning to hear His voice clearly.Deborah’s life shows us that it is possible to carry responsibility, lead others, and live a full life while remaining deeply connected to God. Her confidence came from knowing that the Lord had gone before her.This message is not just about knowing about God, it is about truly knowing Him.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
“You can be pitiful, but you’re made to be powerful.” Blake BradleyIn this message, Blake Bradley walks through 1 Peter 5 and the life of Peter to reveal a powerful truth: believers are not meant to live weighed down by anxiety, fear, or defeat, but to walk in faith, authority, and identity in Christ.Many people carry burdens God never intended them to carry. Worry, stress, fear, and distraction can quietly shape how we think and live. But Scripture gives us a clear instruction: cast your care on Jesus, stay sober-minded, and resist the enemy.Through the example of Peter, we see both failure and restoration. Peter stepped out in faith, lost focus, failed under pressure, and even denied Jesus. Yet God restored him, strengthened him, and used him powerfully.This message is not just about understanding truth, it is about living it.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In this message from the Spiritual Authority: Restored In Christ sermon series, Chad Everett brings clarity and urgency to the return of Jesus. In a world full of noise and deception, this teaching calls us back to what is true and unchanging, the Word of God.Walking through Daniel 9, Mark 13, Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Revelation, Chad shows that Jesus’ return will not be hidden. He will come in the clouds, with power, with angels, and with the sound of a trumpet, and He will gather His people.Jesus warned that deception would increase, but the more we know Scripture, the less likely we are to be led astray. This message is not about speculation, it is about preparation.The question is not just what is coming, but are you ready?The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In this message from the Spiritual Authority: Restored in Christ sermon series, Chad Everett unpacks the prophetic timeline found in Daniel 9 and brings clarity to what Scripture calls the 70th week—revealing how it connects directly to the times we are living in right now.This teaching goes beyond simply explaining end-times prophecy. It helps believers understand how to discern the times through Scripture, not through culture, media, or political perspectives. Chad walks step-by-step through the 70 weeks prophecy, showing how the first 69 weeks were fulfilled with incredible precision—from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of Jesus as the Messiah.If God was that accurate in fulfilling what has already happened, then what does that mean for what is still ahead?The focus of this message shifts to the final, unfulfilled 70th week—a future seven-year period that Scripture describes in detail. Chad explains what to watch for, including the role of a coming world leader, a peace agreement involving Israel, and the significant shift that takes place halfway through that timeline. By connecting Daniel’s prophecy with passages in Revelation, this message brings a clear and grounded understanding of what the Bible says about the days ahead.But the heart of this message is not just information—it’s perspective.“That we can watch the news right now and follow the Bible.” — Chad EverettIn a world filled with competing voices and constant headlines, this message calls believers to step back and anchor their understanding in God’s Word. It challenges us to move away from interpreting events through a political or cultural lens and instead see clearly through the lens of Scripture.Many people missed Jesus when He came the first time—even though the timeline was written in Scripture. This message is a reminder that understanding the Word of God is essential if we want to recognize what He is doing today.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In this message from the Spiritual Authority: Restored In Christ sermon series, Chad Everett walks through Daniel 9 to reveal the stunning prophetic accuracy of Scripture and what it means for our lives today.Over 2,500 years ago, God revealed to Daniel the exact timeline of the Messiah’s coming—down to the day. This sermon unpacks the 70 weeks prophecy and shows how Jesus fulfilled it with undeniable precision. If God was that accurate then, can He be trusted with your life now?This message goes beyond prophecy and into the heart of the gospel. Jesus was “cut off, but not for Himself” (Daniel 9:26). He didn’t die for His own sin—He died for ours. Salvation is not something we earn; it is a gift we receive by grace through faith.Chad challenges us to move from simply knowing about Jesus as “Rabbi” to fully surrendering to Him as Lord. In a world full of competing voices, this message calls believers back to Scripture, truth, and wholehearted devotion to Christ.If God fulfilled His Word with this level of accuracy, then we can live with confidence, readiness, and faith in what He has promised still to come.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
“If God was that right about this part… shouldn’t we trust Him with the rest?” — Chad EverettPalm Sunday was not random. It was not just tradition. It was the exact moment God fulfilled His prophetic plan.In this powerful and unconventional message, Chad Everett connects Mark 13 with Daniel 9 to reveal something many overlook - the precise timing of Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem was declared hundreds of years before it happened.This is more than a Palm Sunday message.This is a wake-up call.While many in Jesus’ day knew the Scriptures, they still missed Him. And today, we face the same challenge. Surrounded by distractions, opinions, and cultural noise, it is easy to lose sight of what God is actually doing.This message calls us back to what matters most:Guard against deceptionAnchor your life in the Word of GodRecognize Jesus for who He truly is - the Lamb sent by the FatherLive ready for the endIf God was exact about Jesus’ first coming, we can trust Him completely with what is still to come.The question is not just what God has done.The question is: Are you recognizing Him - and are you ready?The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In this message, Chad Everett teaches from Mark 13 and calls the Church to return to a clear, biblical focus in a distracted and divided world.The disciples asked Jesus about timelines and signs, but Jesus redirected their attention to something more important: how they should live. His instruction was not centered on speculation, but on spiritual posture—take heed, watch, and stay on mission.Chad emphasizes that one of the enemy’s primary tactics is distraction. In a time filled with voices, opinions, social media, and constant information, believers can easily be led off course. Jesus warns that deception is not always obvious—it often comes through distraction, misdirection, and drifting away from the truth.The message also highlights the importance of being spiritually alert. Believers are called to be watchful, grounded in Scripture, and prepared to respond appropriately—not shaped by culture, but by the Word of God.Finally, the mission is clear: the gospel must be preached. Instead of becoming consumed with signs, politics, or speculation, the Church must remain focused on the Great Commission. Every believer is sent to share the good news of Jesus.Because of this message:● We are called to take heed so we are not deceived● We are called to watch and remain spiritually alert● We are called to stay on mission and preach the gospelThe Roads Church - https://theroads.church
Paul Johnson teaches from Proverbs 15: 33 and lays out a clear Kingdom progression:the fear of the Lord → wisdom → humility → honor.He describes the fear of the Lord as the “locomotive” that pulls the rest of a believer’s life forward. When people rightly fear God, they become teachable. Teach-ability leads to wisdom. Wisdom produces humility. And humility prepares the way for honor.This message is both a call to personal alignment and a biblical explanation of why honor matters in the life of the Church.The fear of the Lord is not about terror without relationship. It is reverence, awe, surrender, and the recognition that God is holy, God is in authority, and we will give an account to Him. It calls us to stop playing games with God, return to His Word, hate evil without hating people, and live with holy seriousness.A teachable heart is essential for spiritual growth. Pride blinds us to our own flaws and magnifies the failures of others, but humility helps us see ourselves rightly before God.Honor is not something to chase. It is not self-exaltation, attention-seeking, or the desire to be noticed. True honor is the fruit of a life that fears God, walks in wisdom, and lives in humility. To honor someone is to value them for who God made them to be.Where is God inviting you to grow today—in reverence, in teach-ability, or in humility? Don’t just hear this message—let it shape the way you live.The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
In this message from Luke 10, Chad Everett teaches on the authority Jesus has given His followers and what it means to put your foot down on the lies and tactics of the enemy.Jesus told His disciples, “Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10: 19). That authority — the Greek word exousia — means the right, permission, and jurisdiction given by Christ Himself.But many believers know this truth without living in it.Through a simple but powerful family story about saying “no more dogs,” Chad illustrates how trampling the enemy often begins with a clear decision: stop negotiating with what God has already told us to resist.When the enemy offers fear, shame, temptation, offense, or condemnation, believers have the authority in Christ to say: “No. I’m putting my foot down.”This message will encourage you to:• Walk in the authority Jesus has given you• Recognize and resist the enemy’s tactics• Stop agreeing with lies and stand on God’s Word• Step into your assignment as a laborer in God’s harvestJesus has already defeated the enemy. Now the church must learn to walk in that victory.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
“Jesus was not filled with a thing. He was filled with a person.”In this message, Filled, Sent, and Accountable, Pastor Chad Everett teaches how Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, led by the Spirit, and sent with authority to bring good news to the brokenhearted, the captive, and the oppressed.The same Holy Spirit that filled Jesus now lives in every believer. Because of that, every follower of Christ is sent with a purpose — to preach the gospel, pray for people, and bring the hope of the Kingdom of God wherever they go.Too often the Church has shifted from “go and preach the gospel” to simply “come and attend.” But Jesus’ command has never changed. The Great Commission was never meant to become the great suggestion.Jesus has given His followers authority and power through the Holy Spirit. The question is not whether we are equipped — the question is whether we will say yes to being sent.This message will challenge you to stop living as a spectator and begin living as someone filled with the Spirit, sent on mission, and accountable to God.The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
How did Jesus function when He walked the earth — and what does that mean for us today?In this message, Chad Everett walks us through Luke 4, Luke 9, Philippians 2, and 2 Corinthians 4 to answer a crucial question:How did Jesus operate — and how are we meant to live now?Jesus was fully God. Yet He chose to empty Himself of divine privilege and function as a man anointed by the Holy Spirit. He moved in dunamis (power) and exusia (authority), not independently, but in submission to the Father through the Spirit. He did not operate from self. He operated from relationship. Then He gave that authority to His disciples.This message centers on one powerful truth from 2 Corinthians 4: 7: “We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.”The authority of Christ is not distant.It is not something we are waiting to fall from heaven.It is the reality of Christ dwelling within us.The question is not whether the treasure is present. The question is whether we are living from it.The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
“Are you going to return the same way you came, or are you going to return in the dunamis of God?”In this message from the Spiritual Authority – Restored In Christ sermon series, Chad Everett walks through Luke 4 and reveals how Jesus modeled spiritual authority through the power of the Holy Spirit. After confronting temptation in the wilderness, Jesus did not return the same — He returned in the power of the Spirit, operating with both dunamis (miraculous power) and exusia (authority and jurisdiction).This teaching shows how Jesus responded to temptation with the Word — “It is written” — choosing truth over the lies of the enemy that often come through thoughts and feelings. From there, we see Jesus teaching in the synagogue, rebuking unclean spirits, healing sickness, and demonstrating that spiritual authority is not theoretical, but active and practical.Chad also challenges the Church to guard against familiarity and religion that dulls spiritual hunger. The goal is not entertainment or information alone, but training — equipping believers with skill to walk in the authority Jesus restored through the Holy Spirit.This message is a call to return differently — not in human strength, but in the power and authority God has made available to every believer.Scripture: Luke 4: 13–41The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
“This is not a spectator sport.”Justin Younger preaches from Romans about sin, grace, and what it truly means to live as someone who has been made new in Christ—calling listeners to examine not just what they believe, but how they live. Romans reminds us that righteousness is received, not earned. If you are born again, your identity is no longer “sinner,” but son or daughter. From that foundation, this message challenges believers to grow up spiritually, walk in obedience, and stop treating church as the only place they hear God.This sermon is both a confrontation and an invitation. It invites listeners into real relationship with Jesus, where freedom from habitual sin is not found through striving or self-improvement, but through abiding fully in Him. Justin speaks plainly about conviction—not as shame or condemnation, but as the Holy Spirit’s loving invitation to go deeper, to surrender honestly, and to let Jesus fill every place where sin once ruled.As you listen, be prepared to be challenged. This message calls us out of hiding, out of pretending, and out of passive Christianity. Following Jesus means responding, obeying, and living like Him every day. God is not training spectators—He is forming disciples who are willing to get in the game and live a transformed life in Christ.https://theroads.church
What if the greatest obstacle to spiritual authority isn’t the enemy—but ourselves?In this message, Chad Everett continues the Spiritual Authority — Restored in Christ series by addressing one of the most subtle and dangerous temptations believers face: the pride of life. Drawing from Luke 4, this teaching examines how Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, led by the Spirit, and trained through temptation—and how His response reveals the path to true spiritual authority.This sermon challenges a common mindset in modern Christianity: living independently from God while still expecting His blessing. Through the temptation narrative, Chad shows that the pride of life is not merely arrogance or boasting, but self-rule—making decisions apart from God, trusting our own understanding, and asking God to bless choices we never submitted to Him.A key focus of this message is Psalm 91 and how Scripture can be misunderstood or misused when it is separated from relationship and obedience. Satan himself quoted Scripture to Jesus, but left out the condition of dwelling in God’s presence. This teaching calls believers to examine whether they are pursuing the promises of God or the person of God.The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
What is the purpose of the local church?Not entertainment—but training.Church attendance is the door—but once you’re in, there’s training that needs to take place.In this message, Chad Everett lays out a clear mission: to enter people into the fullness of Christ and train warrior disciples—not just church attenders. Coming to church is the door. Discipleship is what happens after you walk in.Using Luke 4 as a masterclass from Jesus, Chad shows how spiritual authority is trained, strengthened, and activated. Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, led by the Holy Spirit, and anchored in the Word of God—and He models how to stand firm when the enemy questions identity, offers counterfeit shortcuts, and attempts to trap us through offense.You’ll hear why biblical fasting isn’t religious hype or church tradition, but normal discipleship: a time of consecration where we replace physical food with spiritual food—prayer and the Word—so our spirit leads instead of our flesh. And you’ll be confronted with a defining truth: the enemy’s strategy is deception, not overpowering. When we know who we are in Christ—and who Christ is in us—the enemy loses ground.If this message stirred something in you, respond to it.Ask the Holy Spirit where you’ve been listening to your flesh instead of following His lead. Identify any lie or offense that’s been limiting your spiritual authority—and answer it with God’s Word. Choose one place this week to say no to the enemy and yes to God.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
What if 2026 isn’t just another year, but a turning point?In this message, Pastor Chad Everett teaches on spiritual authority through prayer and fasting, showing how God can turn what the enemy meant for evil into good. Drawing from Luke 4 and Genesis 50, this sermon explores being led by the Spirit, developing hunger for God, and learning to answer the enemy’s lies with God’s Word.If you’re ready to step into the new year with clarity, strengthened faith, and confidence in God’s direction, this message will encourage and equip you.Listen now and lean into what God wants to do in this season.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
— Pastor Chad EverettIn this message from Spiritual Authority – Restored In Christ, Pastor Chad Everett walks through Ephesians 4: 11–13 and Luke 4: 1 to show God’s design for the local church: not to entertain people, but to enter-train them—bringing believers into the fullness of Christ and equipping them to live as mature disciples Monday through Saturday.You’ll hear a clear, Scripture-based foundation for spiritual authority and why the key isn’t willpower—it’s being filled with the Holy Spirit. Pastor Chad traces a powerful progression through Acts, showing the Holy Spirit coming upon believers to empower them, and calls the church back to reverence, altar response, and real transformation—not just “a good service.”If you’ve been battling repeated patterns, unwanted thoughts, or feeling spiritually stuck, this message will help you see the issue differently: a “filled” problem becomes a “led” problem—and Jesus wants to fill you again.The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
In this Christmas message, Pastor Chad Everett continues the conversation on spiritual authority by pointing us to the manger. This sermon traces God’s plan of redemption from Genesis to the birth of Jesus and reminds us that salvation is not something we do, but someone we receive. Christmas is the moment God came near, and salvation has a name—Jesus.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
In this message, Pastor Chad Everett teaches on spiritual authority and how it was restored through Jesus Christ. By returning to Genesis, Chad explores how authority was given by God, lost through deception, and redeemed through Christ’s incarnation. This sermon invites listeners to move beyond a passive or victim mindset and understand how spiritual influence, agreement, and everyday choices shape real life.Through Scripture, this message helps believers recognize God’s original intent and how to live aligned with the authority restored in Christ. Whether you’re new to faith or continuing your walk with Jesus, this teaching encourages reflection, alignment, and renewed confidence in God’s design.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
“How I feel is not what’s real. What God says is what’s real.”In this message, Pastor Chad Everett teaches what it truly means to walk in spiritual dominion in a world that constantly pulls our focus toward the physical. Long before Adam and Eve had bodies, God spoke directly to their spirits and gave them purpose, identity, and authority. That order matters. God establishes truth in the spirit realm before it shows up in the natural—and He calls us to live the same way.Chad shows from Genesis 1–3 that spiritual authority doesn’t start with force, effort, or trying harder. It starts with agreement. The first battlefield of dominion was not a physical fight—it was a voice. Adam and Eve’s greatest challenge came through what they heard, what they believed, and who they chose to agree with. The same is true for us today.If you’ve ever struggled with overwhelming thoughts, spiritual confusion, or circumstances that feel louder than God’s promises, this message will help you anchor your life back into God’s original intention for you. Learn how to take charge of your thoughts, recognize deception, resist the enemy’s lie, and speak the Word of God with confidence.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
Before culture shaped our beliefs, God designed who we are, how we’re meant to live, and the spiritual authority we’re called to walk in.If you’ve felt disconnected from God’s purpose or unsure of what He intended for you, this teaching will help realign your heart and renew your confidence in His design. Lean in as we explore identity, dominion, and what it truly means to live the way God intended from the start.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
“The closer I get to Jesus the more the realms of darkness begin to know who you are. Not because of you, not because of me, but because our connection to Him.” This message invites you to see spiritual authority in Christ from God’s original design. Pastor Chad Everett teaches that God’s first commission in a sinless world was not about fighting darkness, but about defending and expanding what God created.Subduing and having dominion is ultimately about submission to God, not domination over people. We overcome darkness by saying yes to God, not by fixating on the enemy.Authority in Christ flows from staying connected to His voice. When believers say yes to God’s truth about their identity, marriage, family, and calling, they naturally resist and reject anything that opposes Him. Authority is not about volume, personality, or knowledge. It is about submission, intimacy, and spiritual alignment with Jesus.You do not exercise authority because of your name. You exercise authority because of His.This message is for anyone wanting to walk confidently in who God created them to be and to understand what real spiritual authority in Christ looks like.The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
In this powerful message, guest speaker Frankie Mazzapica reveals a truth every believer needs to hear: the battles that nearly broke you are the same battles God used to form you.Drawing from David’s encounters with the lion, the bear, and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, Frankie unpacks how each fight represents a different kind of spiritual pressure we face today.

What does it really mean to live with a seed that has purpose? In this message, Pastor Chad Everett reveals how Jesus became the ultimate seed—dying so His life could multiply in us.

“Jesus shed his blood so that you can be saved, healed, and delivered.”In this episode, Pastor Matt Scott from The Gathering Place Church shares a powerful message called The Law of Inheritance. He reminds us that the blood of Jesus didn’t just cover our sins—it purchased complete freedom for our minds, bodies, and families. Yet many believers never apply that truth to the areas where they still struggle.This message confronts the tendency to treat spiritual problems as emotional or physical ones. You can’t counsel a demon and you can’t medicate one. The battle is spiritual, and the victory has already been won through the blood of Jesus. Pastor Matt exposes how the enemy tries to hijack what God designed to bless generations, and he calls every believer to take responsibility for their inheritance.You’ll be challenged to go beyond listening and take action—to recognize what’s been passed down, repent and renounce it, remove the enemy’s hold, and renew your life through obedience and truth. Freedom doesn’t come from managing behavior; it comes from applying the blood of Jesus to the root of the problem.Don’t just hear this message—respond to it. Let the Holy Spirit reveal what needs to be broken, and take your stand for the generations that come after you. Jesus already paid the price; it’s time to walk in the freedom He bought for you.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

Why does the Word of God produce such different results in people’s lives? Jesus said the difference isn’t the seed—it’s the soil of the heart.In this message from Mark 4: 3–20, Chad Everett teaches on the thorny soil—the heart conditions that hear the Word but allow the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desire for other things to choke it out. These thorns don’t just distract us—they suffocate the breath of God’s Word in us.But God gives us a way to respond: cast your cares on Him, practice generosity that breaks the power of riches, and seek the one thing—Jesus—above all else.This isn’t just about a parable; it’s about your heart right now. Will you allow thorns to choke the Word, or will you receive it, accept it, and bear fruit that multiplies thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold?Lean in and let the Holy Spirit show you what needs to be cleared, so the Word can breathe fresh life in you.The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

“It is to your advantage that I go away, for the Helper will come to you.” — John 16 : 7In this message at The Roads Church, William Wood shares how Jesus’ words to His disciples still apply to us today: the Holy Spirit is our Helper, not our controller.William teaches from John 16 : 5–11, showing how the Spirit convicts the world of sin (unbelief), righteousness (the standard revealed through the Church), and judgment (the verdict already declared over Satan). With biblical clarity and real-life testimonies, he calls believers to live surrendered, Spirit-filled lives that shift the spiritual atmosphere around them.Whether you are just beginning your walk with Christ or have followed Him for years, this message will encourage you to recognize the Helper within you and to walk boldly in the authority Jesus has given.The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

What kind of soil is in your heart? 🌱If “Everything you need is in the seed" -- What if the soil is bad?In this powerful message on humility, Paul Johnson challenges the way we’ve been conditioned to think life revolves around us. He reminds us that pride is often the real enemy—hardening our hearts, dividing the church, and shrinking God in our eyes.

“The man in the middle makes the difference!”Proximity Is Not the Same as RelationshipThis 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.” 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?The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

In this teaching on Luke 11, Chad Everett dives deep into Jesus' lesson on prayer—how it can be taught, learned, and applied with persistence. When the disciples asked, “Lord, teach us to pray,” Jesus not only gave them the model prayer (The Lord’s Prayer) but also shared a powerful parable about a friend knocking at midnight.Luke 18 continues the conversation, focusing on the character and nature of God. If we’re going to pray correctly, we must understand that God is not like the reluctant friend in bed or the unjust judge. Too many people see God as distant or unwilling, like someone who has bigger things to worry about than our everyday problems. That is not God! Jesus emphasizes that God is a good Father who wants us to come boldly and persistently to Him, trusting that He will answer our prayers.🔥 Expect revelation on: ✅ Why persistence in prayer matters ✅ How to pray with boldness and faith ✅ Understanding God’s willingness to respondJesus tells us that we should always pray and never lose heart. Even when our prayers seem unanswered, when things get worse, or when we face opposition, keep praying! Don't be discouraged, and don't give up. God will avenge His own elect, and He will do it speedily. Keep pressing through, and trust that God is faithful!Don’t give up—keep pressing through! 🙌 Comment with your thoughts on prayer. Let’s grow together! YouVersion Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49394781The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
Jeremiah Johnson from The Altar Global shares what heaven is saying for The Roads Church.God wants to raise up Gideon's army in Norris City, and over the cities connected to the ministry of The Roads Church. There are men and women who have counted themselves out do to their past, and God is saying to you today - 'Yes You, I choose You. You are mine. You are my beloved. I've not only forgiven your sins - I've forgot them.'God does not call the equipped. He equips those that He calls.God took Moses from "Who Am I" to "I AM" sent me.God is taking many from "Who Am I" to the "I AM" has sent me.Many are questioning who we are, familiar with the voices of accusation from the devil, instead of knowing who we are by the voice of affirmation from the voice of Father God.Father God loves You, and He has a plan for you.You're being called back to your heavenly identity that is connected to the Father.Exodus 3 : 1 - 22, Judges 6 : 1 - 40, Jeremiah 29 : 11The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
The early church was committed to steadfastly continue in prayer.If we as a church today believe that we should pray, what keeps us from praying? - WE DON'T KNOW HOW. Prayer can be taught & learned. Jesus taught His disciples to pray. - WE CAN BE LAZY.Not wanting to put in the time & effort. - WE WANT TO BE INDEPENDENT. Pride won't pray, it doesn't need God. Humility prays, it's dependent on God. - WE THINK IT DOESN'T MATTER OR MAKE A DIFFERENCE.Active, working & functioning prayer - it gets the job done!Keep praying! It matters! It makes a difference! Our prayers are filling the golden bowls in heaven. The goal in prayer is to align our hearts with God and to know what to pray. "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit."

Prayer came first. Then 3,000 souls were added. Prayer makes a way! It is the plow in the ground that comes before everything that God wants to do in the earth. Jesus instructs us - ASK and KEEP ASKING, SEEK and KEEP SEEKING, KNOCK and KEEP KNOCKING. God is GOOD, and gives good things to those who ask Him. We must not quit. We must keep praying. "These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers." Acts 1 : 14 NKJV“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!"

Even in the midst of life, the demand of people - we can still have more to pour out, like Jesus, not in our own strength, but our source has got to be Jesus. We must reach out in faith, believing, even when it feels like it's been a long time of waiting. In the wait, we must trust that God is working.Know Your Source. Keep the Faith. & Don't Lose Heart.So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. Luke 8:40 The Roads Church https://theroads.church
What did the first church in Acts 2 think was important? SOULSGod doesn't just want people who attend and sit in a church, looking for an outward touch, with no inward change. HE WANTS SOULS! Those that receive and believe. Those are the ones added to the Church. The ones being saved. And the purpose of the Church is to link people together with Jesus, and continue to grow in Him based on the 4 Pillars of the Church:1) Apostle's Doctrine - didachē - Instruction, teaching2) Fellowship - kŏinōnia - Close mutual relationships and involvement3) Breaking of Bread4) Prayers - prŏsĕuchē - To speak to God"Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them."

We need to step up, and step into the Promise-land of what God is calling us to do.We were made for hard things. Things bigger than ourselves. Like the children of Israel who thought it'd be better to go back to Egypt than going after what God had promised them, we can sometimes get overwhelmed and take a step back, but be encouraged - you have a God that created the heavens and the earth that is on your side. He will not leave nor forsake you. When we don't go after everything the Lord has for us - we're actually rebelling against Him.

There is a reason God told us to fast. When we consecrate or set apart our normal activity, schedules and eating for God to fast, conquering our flesh from ruling us, to consume more of Him in our life, it opens up freedom in the spirit.We can pray without fasting, but we shouldn't fast without praying. “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49370173The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

God desires to take people higher. There are many accounts in scripture where God invites people to "come up" to Him, to ascend the "mountain." It's at this higher place where He meets with people, where there are encounters, where people receive wisdom and revelation.What we know is that going higher, always requires effort and testing. It's the journey that changes you. Are you ready to prepare for the climb?1. You must acknowledge your current position.2. You must prepare for the journey.3. You must climb.4. Prepare for hard conversations.5. Get ready to encounter God.There should be fruit as you journey. God is inviting you higher! He loves you and wants more for you.

Fellowship - kŏinōnia - Close mutual relationships and involvement; partnership, participation; sharing in activities or privileges of an intimate associationWe are to "continue steadfastly" in Fellowship - both horizontally - with our brothers and sisters in Christ, and vertically with the Father and Jesus. And this is that "your joy may be full."Vertical Fellowship - We are not called merely into a relationship ABOUT JESUS; we're called into a kŏinōnia WITH JESUS. We are called to partner with, participate with, involved with Jesus in an intimate relationship. You cannot have faith outside of the revelation that Jesus living in you is greater than he who is in the world, and then you can release faith through Jesus living in you.Horizontal Fellowship - Who you fellowship with MATTERS! We have been called to horizontal kŏinōnia that goes out into the world that is so connected to Jesus that He in us will draw people to Him. When we partner with people who are connected to Jesus who prays for us, who encourages us, and when we get out of kŏinōnia with Jesus and the Bible, they call us to the truth. And when we partner with others in ministry - fruit abounds to your account in heaven."That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full." 1 John 1:1-4SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49355284The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
All of our theology & doctrine will be based on scripture. We will continue steadfastly in all three biblical teachings of the Apostle's Doctrine: 1) The doctrine of Baptism of Holy Spirit & Fire (Acts 1:4) - Believers need power.2) The doctrine of Signs & Wonders (Acts 2:43) - They were done through the apostles. God wants to work signs and wonders through YOU, through the power of the Spirit of God to flow through.3) The doctrine of Authority of the Believer (Mark 1:21-28) - Jesus has given us the authority over ALL the power of the enemy."All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49352302The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
Church growth is about each of us growing in our relationship with Jesus, with the joints of the body in place both collectively and in our lives individually. And then as followers of Jesus, we must be willing to testify about our relationship with Jesus and what He is doing in our life. Our testimony should exhort/urge other people to take action and do something with it. TESTIFY & EXHORT! Let me tell you about Jesus!"A person with an argument is not match for a person with an experience."And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Acts 2:40SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49347598The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
All five gifts found in Ephesians 4 - apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher - were given to the church for equipping the body for the work of ministry. We are not equipped for ourselves. We are equipped to minister for the benefit of others, for the building up and fitting of the body of Christ. You can be attached to a body, and not be attached to a head. It's called a CORPSE. Sometimes people are attached to a body, attending a church, but if we're not attached to the head, we will not be fully alive and functioning. We are all part of the body, with different assignment. We all need one another. We will not be equipped or fit, without all the gifts of the body of Christ operating.And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

In order to move out of religion into revelation, we must "Think Kingdom!" from performance to presence.from entertainment to encounter.from attendance to activation.from consumerism to co-laboring.from production to reproduction.from playing to praying.from America to Antioch.Jesus did not die for us to attend a church and make it a compartment of our life.Church and religion will program you. WE HAVE TO DETOX! We have got to become like the church in Antioch. We need a Kingdom paradigm. We've got to delete what we know and what we've seen and witnessed, and say, "Lord we need a Bible revival."

Something bigger than us, not “OF” us, was given to us so that God can do things that are bigger than us through us.God wants us to understand the significance of what He's given us.Church is never just ME & JESUS. The Church is a body, and we need each other. Gifts were not given to promote our independence, but rather to operate together as one body.When every part does it's share, it causes growth and edifies the body of Christ, and builds it up."But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift." Ephesians 4:7 "As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."

"You are the body of Christ, and members individually."Everyone has a calling or invitation to walk into God's direction for their life. We have been bought with a price, and we no longer belong to ourselves, but they are legally God's, and He determines what we do with our lives. Too many times we ask the Lord to bless our life decisions. It's so important as Christians to know the purpose God has for our lives living it in alignment with your calling - everywhere you go. We can jump out of our calling because we lack lowliness, gentleness, longsuffering and bearing with one another. How long do we endure suffering? As long as it takes to become like JESUS!

We think our ministry is about us, but our ministry according to God's standard is what you are supposed to do to serve and help and bless others. You and I all have an assignment to serve other people, and God is saying, "Fulfill your ministry!" He's given all of us gifts and talents for one reason - to bless other people!

We will give an account to Jesus for our life lived unto Him.We've all been given an assignment from God to PREACH, to DECLARE the WORD! We must be more concerned about someone's eternity than we are about our feelings. We must teach the truth publicly, whether it's convenient and favorable, or it's inconvenient and unfavorable, whether culture says it's good or not.

GO FIND SOMEONE & TELL THEM TO COME & SEE JESUS! Roads Church - we must not neglect our assignment that God has given to plant churches. Time is running short, and people need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the power of Holy Spirit. The world needs the truth! God is reminding us - Don't forget what you were called to do! FIND someone who hasn't seen what you've seen, and SHOW them what you've seen! That they may never un-see! We have to find people, and give them the hope of Jesus Christ. This is why God has called us to go out and plant churches and to reach people in other communities. It's not about us! We're building His Kingdom - not ours.

Church we have taken scripture that was meant for a specific people, with a specific issue, during a specific time, and used it in 2024 as God's law, rather than recognizing it is the law and tradition of man. There are no laws according to God that says that women cannot speak in church. Paul did not contradict himself in 1 Corinthians chapter 14 and chapter 11. Women - you have the same access & right to the promises of Abraham as heirs of Christ, as the men do. We must stop comparing ourselves with one another, pushing one another down. We must be secure in who we are in Christ. Be secure Woman! Be Secure Man! You must be who God called you to be. SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49317241https://theroads.church
Perseverance in PRAYER! The WORD becoming who we are! DISCIPLINE to put God first! Jesus well equipped us to be victorious and overcome! But like the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus, our spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak. They could not pray even one hour, but instead fell asleep. We can be on our devices or watch a ball game for hours, but it's uncomfortable to pray for an hour. Our discipline to build up our spirit to be strong is in PRAYER & the WORD. The Lord wants to prepare us for what is coming, so we are ready for it, and not just reacting to it when it comes that we would be victorious, and a refuge of people that holds the TRUTH. Are you willing to makes prayer & intercession and the will of God number 1 in your life? https://theroads.church
Newsflash - Moses didn’t build the Tabernacle. Bazalel and Aholiab did! God put wisdom, skill/talent inside of them to build it.And God has put talent inside of each of us for His purpose to reveal or make known through the gospel the life that does not end.Talent is your God-given ability. We all have the same God-given purpose - it’s His purpose, but we all have different appointments based on our talents.When we have an understanding of our TALENT - what we can and cannot be the best at, and develop it to give God our best in pursuit of our purpose - OUR GREEN, then everywhere people go, they will see the light shining on the God kind of life that never ends - at the lumber yard, in the grocery store, sitting in the dentist chair . . .2 Timothy 1:6-10, John 11:25, John 14:6, Romans 6:4-5, Exodus 31:1-11, 2 Chronicles 2:12, 1 Kings 7:13Where's Your Green?

God wants to purify our mouths - what we say, how we say it, in our relationships, in our workplaces, in our homes. What comes out of our mouth should bring edification. We live in the most critical culture and time - today. The devil is the accuser, and being critical and accusatory is operating in darkness. The enemy will use accusation to tear up the Church. Judgement will come to the Church first. Search our hearts Lord for any place that we operate in criticism and accusation that needs to be purified, so that what comes out of my mouth would bring edification.

God has saved us AND CALLED us.God is calling everyone, but not everyone will fulfill the calling.Too many people are ignoring God’s call.God’s invitation to us is according to His purposes. It’s greater than what we do for our job to make a living. It’s vital that we know where our purpose comes from; it comes from God, and it’s about what He wants to do in the Earth to bring all of creation into His Kingdom.He is blowing up your phone inviting you to live a life that is dedicated to Him, devoted to Him, and set apart to Him - HOLY UNTO HIM.When we submit to His purpose, everything that He created you to do on the inside, will be fulfilled.

Paul wrote to the church at Corinth for the purpose of speaking about the expectation of being in harmonious relationships and unity in the house of God, and then instructed them with how that is accomplished in light of using the gifts to bring Edification, Unity & Peace. The Church should be: Speaking in tongues ✓ Interpreting in certain situations ✓ Prophesying ✓ Desiring spiritual gifts ✓ Not forbidding speaking in tongues ✓ All things done decently and in order ✓ We must trust God to let Him say what is "decent" and "in order" and not our tradition. If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.

Holy Spirit is IN YOU for NEW LIFE, and He comes UPON YOU for POWER & GIFTS for ministering to people. Tongues is a gift we receive when we are baptized in Holy Spirit, allowing us the ability to speak to God, and in the spirit speak mysteries. The Church must not forbid it. It's going to be essential for all believers, the Church, to operate in the Power of Holy Spirit in the days to come. The wisdom needed in the end days comes from the Bible, and it's available.

Charla Lewis - The Roads Kidz Pastor - shares a dream she had with an interpretation and unpacks the deceit that the enemy uses against us to create a hold and imprisonment of our minds that is stealing our time, relationships and our continual development in our relationship with God. Entertainment and all its devices have been a deceitful cover up, a smoke and mirrors that we partner with to keep us from realizing the unseen and heavenly realm and partnering our faith with what God is doing. The "American Dream" has become the "American nightmare." Galatians 5 : 13 Beloved ones, God has called us to live a life of freedom. But don’t view this wonderful freedom as an excuse to set up a base of operations in the natural realm. Constantly love each other and be committed to serve one another.The Roads Church - https://theroads.church
Tongues is not about memorizing syllables - it's about making connection with Holy Spirit as our source to speak what the Father & Son are speaking. It empowers us, and gives us access to speak and pray when we do not know what to pray. It is speaking the "mysteries of heaven."Let Holy Spirit speak. Then speak what He's telling you to say.
We are invited into this prophetic season - that all the sons and daughters begin to prophecy. Everyone of us has been divinely created by God to hear the voice of God, the voice of Holy Spirit - who is the greatest evangelist and searches the heart and thoughts of God, and His thoughts will change people's lives. It's time to engage our Creator. He's calling us to full surrender. Our lack of response to the voice of God has consequences, because He has people He wants to reach through your life who comes in the power of God and operates in the ministry of reconciliation.

When Holy Spirit is on our life - we have POWER, which means by definition that we have abilities, power, strength and might that we didn't have before and without Him. With Him in your life, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, without Christ you can do nothing.Part of that “Power Package,” is speaking in tongues. When Holy Spirit comes upon you, you now have the ability to communicate with a language with God, praying the will of God that you did not have in your own natural ability. Speaking with God isn’t EXTRA! Or unnecessary. Or just for certain people. IT’S BIBLICAL. We’ve wanted the power without a relationship with Him, it’s been the temptation from the beginning. But God’s desire has always been about a relationship and in His PRESENCE there is POWER.SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49283814The Roads Church: https://the roads.church

Jesus wants to settle some accounts! He says 70 X 7! The practice of forgiveness comes from a place of compassion that allows us to release and forgive. Church, we get to be the carriers, the agents of forgiveness for the world to see, so we can point people to Jesus! Forgiveness in the "C"hurch has been made attractive and not very practical or useful. Forgiveness is necessary, and we've made it unnecessary. Jesus is addressing issues and showing us areas where we haven't released and forgiven people of debts, and He wants to tackle the complacency that has given us up to a place of avoiding the practice of forgiveness. How do we practice forgiveness?We must know what it looks like! Eph 4 : 31-32We must look to Jesus - our greatest example of forgiveness! Col. 3 : 12 We must deliver forgiveness. Matt 6 : 14 - 1521 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

Unity, Stability and Maturity in The Body of Christ - God is accomplishing it through the building of the Five-Fold Ministry. Jesus gave us Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds and Teachers, representing His own ministry. We are shifting from a One-Man Ministry to a Five-Fold Ministry - the divine wisdom of God, and He is restoring it in the Earth today. It is for the equipping of the saints for the work of service for the building up of the body of Christ. We're familiar with Pastors and Shepherds. The body of Christ has been over-pastored and under fathered, which is why we have a culture of being a nursery and not an army. We have tried to build the church in our own wisdom and have built an atmosphere of immaturity in the body.God is waking us up, and changing how we have perceived church, and He's calling us back into His Word.

When we receive Holy Spirit, we should expect to speak in tongues.Holy Spirit doesn't take over your tongue, but does tell you what to say, giving you the words to speak out of your mouth. We have to speak what He says. First - We are filled with the PERSON of HOLY SPIRIT.THEN - Holy Spirit tells us what to say.It's Holy Spirit's job to give us the "utterance," but it's our job to do the speaking."While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days." Acts 10:44-48SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49264907The Roads Church: https://the roads.church

Our Helper! Holy Spirit! Not just with us, BUT IN US! "If I can get them scared of Holy Spirit, I will get the power out of their life."The enemy understands the dunamis power we have through Holy Spirit. He wants to keep us operating in our natural power, and not Holy Spirit's supernatural power. He wants to tame and domesticate Christians to believe that salvation is about behavior modification instead of it being about transformational power that changes them on the inside and around them.Without understanding the Feast of Pentecost, you can't move beyond Passover.

"He sees crowds of people doing their own thing, making their own way, putting their trust in their own abilities and doing what is best for themselves. And He is saying, 'Excuse me, you're in My way.'"God wants to move in our lives, but we won't slow down, stop and listen and give up what WE want to to do, while wanting Him to bless our desires. If we would let Him through and let Him lead, paths would begin to open up for our lives that we have no idea. Will you allow Him to take the lead? To lead you and guide you? Will you listen to His voice? It requires surrender. In your surrender, He will take you where you've never been before. I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to you,instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life.I will advise you along the wayand lead you forth with my eyes as your guide.So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubbornwhen I take you where you’ve not been before.Don’t make me tug you and pull you along.Just come with me!”Psalm 32:8-9 TPThttps://theroads.church
God made it possible through Jesus for believers to have a "tuner" on the inside of us to hear from Him.

“Come back to FIRST LOVE. Remember the love we shared.”The Lord asked us and is NOW asking us to return to FIRST LOVE. It’s loving GOD FIRST. Loving Him before and ahead of anything else and anyone else, including our SELF. It’s letting Him have first place, first priority in our heart, soul, mind, strength, body and life. Every area. All that we are. GOD IS LOVE!!! Every day we need to receive His love. He tells us to abide in His love and to remain abiding in His Love!LOVE IS OUR WAY OF LIFE. We actually NEED His love, not only to love Him, but to love each other. We can’t do it without Him. We can’t do anything without Him. We can’t give what we don’t have.There is nothing in me - by myself - that is love. Only God is love.1 John 4:7-10, John 15:9-10, Luke 10:27, John 14:21-24, 1 John 4:11-13, 19-21, John 13:34-35https://theroads.church
What does Christianity look like? 1) Deny yourself! 2) Take up your cross! 3) Follow Jesus!Being born-again is bigger than saying a prayer and attending church on Sundays. When we say, "I do," we are married to Jesus! It's waking up everyday and saying, "I do!" It's having a relationship with Him, and not cheating on Him. It's being faithful ALL the time. He is above all! SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49241997THE ROADS CHURCH: https://theroads.church
I can prevail, because JESUS prevailed!The enemy tries to destroy us with pressure. Jesus tries to grow us with pressure. The pressure and crushing that comes into our lives has two agendas.

If we know something is the will of God, and we are releasing our faith to receive it and bring it into our lives, we have to BE PREPARED - STEP # 3 IS COMING! It's called "Resistance." There is an enemy that does not want us to have what the will of God is for our lives.We have to be determined to "OVERCOME OPPOSITION." Be strong! And of Good Courage! Do not fear, nor be afraid. The Lord your God goes with you! We must BE COMMITTED TO FINISH THE JOB! KEY # 4!When God brings something to your attention to drive out in your life, we must deal with it and drive it all out. When we don't drive out what God tells us to drive out in our lives, and they remain, they will harass us. Jesus wants to come in and heal and restore and help us drive out resentment, offense, unforgiveness, disappointment, hurts, and occupy in their place. We must not grow tired with just a little victory.Who is more determined to finish the job driving out everything that God brings to your attention? You or the enemy?

"when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved - shaken; vibrated, agitated, created a commotion.Jesus wants to come and shake up things in our lives, and flip upside down "normal." When we come into contact with JESUS . . . One encounter with Jesus can change everything! It has the power to change our "normal" way of doing things. We are a new creation in Christ! Shake us. Move and agitate on the inside of us Lord, to drive out everything you don't want in our lives.Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

KEY # 2 - Believe the will of God, and have faith enough to be moved to action! Do we believe enough that it moves us to action? If we are going to receive (lambano) what God has for us, His promises for our lives, it's going to require us to 1) Know what the will of God is and 2) believe it so much that my actions change - the way I talk, the way I believe, the way I act. "And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak," II Corinthians 4:13 NKJV"For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us."

Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Do you see this woman?"Church, do we see the value of people? The value of the lost sheep the way that God sees them from Heaven? In a way that moves us to action to take the gospel to them?We can believe the truth that Jesus died for all of us, but does that truth move us to a point that we show and share the truth with everyone? How many people do you pass in the course of your day that need to hear the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ for their life?

God wants to remind you of your authority, and that the enemy doesn't have a right in your life, without your permission.The only way the enemy gets a seat in your life, is if you pull out a chair for him, by agreeing with him instead of agreeing with God. Where have you given up your seat, and let the enemy have a place in your life? 3 The Lord your God Himself crosses over before you; He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua himself crosses over before you, just as the Lord has said. Deuteronomy 31:3 NKJVDispossess - yârêsh - Take possession of; occupy by driving out previous tenants, and possessing in their place; to inherit; also to expel, cast out, put out of occupancy18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:18-20 NKJVYouVersion Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49207906The Roads Church Website:https://theroads.church

"God knew there was an enemy in the garden, and gave Adam and Eve to dispossess the enemy. Why didn't God just kick the enemy out of the garden?There is a responsibility on God's side that the people COULD NOT DO without Him, and there's a responsibility on the people's side that God WOULD NOT DO without them.

Cross OVER! Drive Out! Take Possession!& Occupy!God instructed Israel how they would move into the Promised Land dependant on Him. God would destroy the enemy that was bigger and stronger than them, AND then the Israelites were to "dispossess" them in cooperation with God.God wants us to possess our Promised Land. Our Promised Land is becoming like JESUS! Our enemy is anything in our life that tries to disconnect us with Jesus.

Do you need to "dispossess" some things in 2024?As believers, we have an inheritance, and Jesus has already destroyed and disarmed the enemy, so we can take possession of our inheritance.Sometimes though, we don't know what we've inherited, or we don't possess our inheritance, and sometimes, we let the devil with his lies move into our hearts and live with us.

2024 is going to start with a choice! A choice to serve what you believe, and not what you feel. No one can choose for you. You must choose for YOURSELF. It's time to make a decision! Are you going to fear the Lord? Are you going to serve Him in sincerity and truth? Are you going to put away some things that are distracting you from serving Him? Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.Today is a "this day!" AND Tomorrow is another "this day!" Will you serve God's agenda, or your own agenda?“Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt.

According to Jesus, Holy Spirit came to # 1 Guide us into all truth and # 2 Take of what is Jesus' and declare it to us.When we pray in the spirit/in tongues, we are downloading and speaking the hidden wisdom and mysteries of God, as Holy Spirit hears them from the Father and the Son and declares them to us. So, when we pray in tongues, Holy Spirit is communicating things we cannot know in the natural. It's our spirit talking to God to know what the Father and Jesus are saying.SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49184011THE ROADS CHURCH: https://theroads.church/
It's the season of gift-giving, and there is a gift, according to the Bible that Jesus wants to give ALL of us. HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS GIFT?WILL WE RECEIVE IT?There is a baptism in Holy Spirit that Jesus wants to give you. It's free! It is an invitation to receive more of what Jesus wants to give you.13 And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, 14 who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?” 18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.” Acts 11:13-18 NKJVSERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49181528The Roads Church https://theroads.church
Our mouths were created to praise the Lord, to preach the gospel, to speak His Word and to give life. Jesus is purifying the mouth of His bride.

“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” - Paul“We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” - Disciples in EphesusAnd when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.It is possible to be a believer and a disciple and not have heard about Holy Spirit.Have you heard? If you are a disciple of Jesus (mathētēs - A pupil, committed student; a follower and learner of someone), according to the Bible, it is a basic, elementary part for a new believer's life. The world cannot receive Holy Spirit, but once you are reborn, and have a born-again spirit, then He can baptize you in Holy Spirit, because your spirit can contain what Jesus wants to immerse you into, giving you power for your life as a disciple of Jesus.John 20:19-22, Acts 19:1-7, Acts 1:6-8 NKJVSERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49169759THE ROADS CHURCH: https://theroads.church

"When we look at JESUS, we should always see room to grow. It's what christianity is about - constantly look at JESUS to become like JESUS.28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Rationally minded = DEATHSpiritually minded = LIFE & PEACEWe must intentionally set our minds on the things of God. What we focus on, what we set our minds on will be how we live. If we set our minds on the things of the flesh, it will be lead by the flesh. If we set our minds on the things of the spirit, it will be in obedience to live by the spirit. Rational knowledge alone is not going to cut it for the time that we are coming into. We need revelation knowledge from heaven more than rational knowledge.6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.Romans 8:6-7 NKJVSERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49155733The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
Who is Jesus to you? In your heart? What has God spoken to YOU? Knowing & hearing God for yourself is "Personal Revelation Knowledge." Not based on what your parents say, what your spouse says, what your church says - that's called rational knowledge. The Church needs to be careful to not be lead by rational, intellectual knowledge - what others say. It is more important than ever for us to be built up in Jesus, and hearing from God.V 13 & 14 - Rational/Natural KnowledgeWhen Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”V 15 & 16 - Personal Revelation KnowledgeHe said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:13-16http://theroads.church

How are we building with Jesus as He builds His Church? Jesus is our foundation, and we don't ever stop building on Him. Every single one of us is either planting and water every day FOR God or NOT for God.Eternity is coming, and when we stand before Jesus, when the fire comes, will what we built endure?

Sons & Daughters (GENDER) Old Men & Young Men (AGE) Servants & Handmaidens (CLASS) I will pour out my Spirit on them ALL.
God systematically disrupted, dealt with and tore away every form of idol and barrier that man would lift up to qualify a person to be a part of His Kingdom, His Priesthood.
The truth of the Priesthood of the Believer has been the most assaulted truth in the Body of Christ. Unworthiness is one of the greatest stumbling blocks keeping us from everything that God has for us. BUT God goes down and seeks the lowly.
Joel 2:28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
Brian Starley’s (Global Awakening) deepest conviction is to make room for the presence of God, and to honor what He’s doing above all else. He desires to train others to abide in the place of deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and to equip the church for the operation of signs and wonders, in order that we may declare the fullness of the gospel with word and power. He began ministering at 15 years of age, following a supernatural encounter with Jesus which marked his life.

The Conscience is a foundational way that God speaks to us and guides us. "Conscience" is an internal self knowledge of right and wrong, good and evil. Every decision is processed through the conscience that bears witness to the existence of God. It is in the conscience that you feel either conviction or condemnation. It is the conscience in which discernment is developed, which must be sanctified and submitted to the truth of God's Word by the renewing of your mind by the guidance of Holy Spirit.
When you deny the internal witness of God, it creates turmoil and conflict in the soul that you then have to find a way to fill and treat the pain.
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.
Romans 9:1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.
A Global Awakening Associate Evangelist, William Wood is also a graduate of the Global School of Supernatural Ministry and founder of the Relentless conference. In 2005, William Wood had a dramatic encounter with God where he was supernaturally delivered from alcohol and drug abuse. Since this encounter, he has had a passion for revival and for seeing people step into the fullness of what Christ paid for on the cross.

Are we satisfied with a "passing by" relationship with God? Or are we constraining Him to Abide?
God's not satisfied with a passing by relationship with you. He wants to remain with you.
God doesn't mind when we stop Him, grab hold of Him, reach out and say, "Do not pass me by."
22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. Exodus 33:22 NKJV
2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Genesis 18:2-3 NKJV
28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. 29 But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them. Luke 24:28-29 NKJV

Moses asked God to show him His Glory, His overabundance of who He is, and God responded.
I WILL . . .
. . . make all my goodness pass before you. GOD IS THE BEST! He will make His best pass before you.
. . . proclaim the name of the Lord before you. RUN INTO the name of the LORD!
. . . be gracious to whom I will be gracious. God has a place reserved for you at His right hand - STAND on the ROCK!
Make your prayer today - God show me your glory, where I've limited you in my life.
19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” Exodus 33:19 NKJV

There are only TWO WAYS! God's Way and NOT God's Way.
God's Way leads to strength. God's Presence gives us rest. Not God's Way leads to destruction.
There is NO 3rd Way. Don't be fooled, thinking there is a third way.
Moses asked God to show him His Way so that he would know God. Because being in His Presence was his greatest desire and primary goal.
How do we know, if we know God? If we know God's Way, and keep His commandments.
We are telling ourselves a lie, if we believe we can know God outside of keeping His Way.
Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” Exodus 33:13 NKJV
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. I John 2:3-4 NKJV

We have a holy responsibility to steward and maintain the flame of God that He's given us.
God wants the fire of Holy Spirit to be a continual, perpetual flame, and He is saying - If you will just step over the line into that place of unpredictable, surprising Pentecost - I'll amaze you, and I'll cause your flame to blaze.
"And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out." Lev 6:12-13
"Do not quench the Spirit." 1 Thessalonians 5:19

We are all looking, searching for something. It's in our heart to search. In the process, we can turn to the counterfeit and unholy things to fill us up, when really, the only thing that can and needs to fill our emptiness is the presence of the living God through Jesus Christ.
Matthew 13 : 44 - 46 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
The life of Jesus was filled with healing, caring for the poor, and feeding the hungry. Jesus even sat with sinners, and time after time, the sinner's lives were changed forever.
The gifts of the spirit are just as alive today, as they were in the time of Jesus, available for us to continue the ministry of Jesus.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’
What if being known by God was all that mattered?
In the end, it's all that will matter.
God loves everyone the same. God does not have the same relationship with everyone.
Not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord!" has made God Lord, and are living and walking in His Way. Jesus is the Way. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus.
When I'm not walking His Way, I'm walking in darkness, and will experience unnecessary pain.
Does God know you? Are you on the way of the wicked or the way of the righteous?
God's Ways are the Way of Life.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" They are the very first words of Jesus recorded in the gospel of John.
And the disciples John and Andrew answered with the question - "Where are you staying?"
They knew that spending time with Jesus was the most important thing. It changed their priorities, it moved them to follow the Teacher, to share their testimony and bring people to Jesus.
EVERYTHING CHANGES WHEN WE MEET and ABIDE WITH JESUS!
HIS PRESENCE IS EVERYTHING!!!
John 1:35-42 NIV The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!” When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?” They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?” “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter).

Pastor Matt Scott of The Gathering Place Church in Moody, AL shares his testimony of pastoring a church that was big but wasn't deep, and a two year process of getting to know God as a person.
God gave Matt a phrase - "There is more." It was an invitation to get to know and receive more of God, if Matt was interested.
It's also an invitation for you.
Matt discovered four things that allowed him to experience more of God. 1) Develop Hunger 2) Create Space 3) Remove Barriers 4) Capitalize on Opportunities.
It's not about a formula, but it is about experiencing more of God as a person, who is interested in developing a relationship with you. Will you accept the invitation?

Has God ever told you something, and yet there were still things He didn't let you know?Many times, our faith in God can be measured by how much detail we require BEFORE we do what He tells us.Is what God said to you enough?

WHY are we coming to the tabernacle? Are we coming to seek the Lord, or are we coming to check a box? There is a difference.When we are coming to church to check a box, the focus is on 3 things:PEOPLE. PERFORMANCE.PREFERENCES.When we come seeking the Lord, the focus is on 1 thing:PRESENCE OF GOD.EVERYONE who SOUGHT the Lord went out to the tabernacle of meeting!SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49080797Exodus 33:7-11 NKJV7 Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the tabernacle of meeting. And it came to pass that everyone who sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of meeting which was outside the camp. 8 So it was, whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people rose, and each man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle. 9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses. 10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and worshiped, each man in his tent door. 11 So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.https://theroads.church/

We are ordained to bear much fruit worthy of the Kingdom. We must not stop abiding. Jesus was passionate about being connected to His Father, and we must be passionate about being connected with Jesus, who is the true vine, and as the branches, allow the Father to be the vinedresser - pruning and perfecting in us what He desires to perfect. God is preparing and perfecting His Holy Vineyard.“ I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit]. You are already clean because of the word which I have given you [the teachings which I have discussed with you]. Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples." John 15 : 1 - 8
God determines the purpose of our gathering. What if He asks us to . . . shout and dance and sound the trumpets? What if God shows up and it's unfamiliar - but is still God? Will we choose the unfamiliar, even if it costs us some familiar?

We've created tabernacles of meetings called churches - the original purpose of the Tabernacle of Meeting was to be a dwelling place, a habitation at a particular time for a purpose designated by an authority. A place for people to encounter God, but became a place for people to meet people and merely talk about God.Who's the authority that designates the purpose for why we gather? NOT US!We gather to meet with God, and HE designates the purpose of why we gather.SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49067280

JESUS did everything for us that He can do! And now, the question is - What will we do for Him?Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. It's uncontestable. BUT knowing that will not get me to Heaven. I must BELIEVE that He is the Resurrection and the Life. That's what gets me into His presence. Is what Jesus did enough to give your life to Jesus?5 "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

“His Presence is a MIGHTY RIVER. Will you drink of it?”This is a must watch message for the Church today. Promise Bradley brings a challenging word about the River of His Presence, revival, and our responsibilities as believers to steward all these things well.His Presence can not be organized, it can only be stewarded.We can not create The River, all we can do is JUMP IN. “When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the Lord, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them. I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus. I will give them fountains of water in the valleys. I will fill the desert with pools of water. Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground. I will plant trees in the barren desert— cedar, acacia, myrtle, olive, cypress, fir, and pine. I am doing this so all who see this miracle will understand what it means— that it is the Lord who has done this, the Holy One of Israel who created it.” Isaiah 41 : 17 - 20 NLTWebsite: https://theroads.church

Faith in what I want or how hard I pray is NOT how it works.What God says has got to be our reality.Abraham BECAME according to what God "spoke." Faith has to connect with something God said for us to become. We need to know what God said, and then we "become" according to that, and not according to how we feel. God is not obligated to perform anything other than what He promised.Romans 5 : 1-5 NKJV1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.Romans 4 : 16 - 18Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be [a]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49049705https://www.theroads.church
We are not “of those” who through fear or timidity shrink back and stop pursuing what Jesus died to give us, but we are convinced and persuaded to take the actions necessary to possess, experience, and preserve everything that Jesus acquired for us in this life and in eternity!"Faith is a requirement for the believer to please God.""But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11 : 6"Faith is believing without the validation of feelings or the sense realm.""For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Cor 5 : 7"Faith will require a decision.""But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.""Faith will require corresponding actions.""For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."

What are you expecting when you come to church on Sundays?EXPECTATION. HUMILITY. DESPERATION. PREPARATION. URGENCY.Jesus humbled himself and became obedient unto death. Our mind should be the same as Jesus. Humility and obedience are connected.One of the greatest hinderances in the Church is spiritual pride. God is calling us to a level of longing - a desperation that affects our preparation and preparation affects our expectation. Our expectation on a Sunday morning should be at such a level that we know that something is going to happen. "We can eagerly expect" that we give our hearts to Him. "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross."

Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." 1 Corinthians 6:15-20“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

"I have something you can't take from me.I have something that endures forever." -Pastor Chad EverettWe won't grow and be like Jesus in easy times. We become like Jesus through adversity. Persecution is coming, and God is saying that it is time for us to be prepared, to ENDURE. What we have, what we own, what is in our bank accounts - THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL OF THIS IS TEMPORARY.WE CAN NOT PUT OUR FAITH OR HOPE IN EARTHLY THINGS.We have to put our faith AND our hope in an ENDURING possession.SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49016749MAIN SCRIPTURE REFERENCE:But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:“For yet a little while,and He who is coming will come and will not tarry.Now the just shall live by faith;but if anyone draws back,my soul has no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:32-39 (NKJV)https://theroads.church/
If Christ fasted, should Christians fast?𝗬𝗘𝗦.God is wanting to prepare the Bride for the days ahead, and fasting is a key tool that will help us be prepared. Fasting is something EVERY Christian should do.Fasting is difficult! Pastor Chad Everett said “I do not feel led to fast! I feel like eating!” What we feel doesn’t determine our direction. What Jesus says determines our direction. (Matthew 6:16) Therefore, we must ENDURE difficult things (like fasting; see last week’s sermon) to PREPARE ourselves for what is ahead. We are grateful to Holy Spirit for using this teaching to encourage us, and prepare us for the temptation ahead of us. Temptation IS coming, temptation IS real, and temptation IS coming to us all.Main Scripture References:“Now, therefore,” says the Lord,“Turn to me with all your heart,With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”Joel 2:12 (NKJV)Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”Matthew 4:1-4SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49013634We invite you to explore our Podcast for more teachings, visit our website and come join us for one of our services.Subscribe to our Roads Church YouTube Channel for live stream notifications of our services every Sunday morning at 8 :30 & 10 :30 a.m. CT.If you would like to give to the ministry of The Roads Church visit: https://theroads.church/giving/Or text: Amount NC or Amount MTC or Amount CVILLE to 84321 (ex. 50 NC)Follow The Roads on social media:Roads App: https://subsplash.com/theroadschurch/appWebsite: https://theroads.churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theroadschurchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theroadschurchYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/theroadschurch
Our faith grows stronger through adversity. Are we willing for Jesus to lead us into difficult situations? When we allow the Spirit to lead us, He will lead us into places we don't like. Satan will lead us into temptation with the agenda to trap us, causing us to fail and walk away from God. The Spirit will also lead us into an encounter with the enemy, not to hurt us, but His agenda is to reveal strength in us against the accuser that we didn't know was in us. We must be prepared, and recognize the difference as we encounter difficult seasons.

LEAVE ALL. RISE UP. FOLLOW HIM.Jesus gives the invitation to "Follow Me." Just like Matthew, what we decide to do after the invitation determines the relationship. There should be a measurable difference in our lives when we choose to follow Jesus. What are you not willing to leave for God? Is it holding you back from truly following Him?SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49008487We invite you to explore our Podcasst for more teachings, visit our website and come join us for one of our services.Subscribe to our Roads Church YouTube Channel for live stream notifications of our services every Sunday morning at 8 :30 & 10 :30 a.m. CT.If you would like to give to the ministry of The Roads Church visit: https://theroads.church/giving/Or text: Amount NC or Amount MTC or Amount CVILLE to 84321 (ex. 50 NC)Follow The Roads on social media:Roads App: https://subsplash.com/theroadschurch/appWebsite: https://theroads.churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theroadschurchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theroadschurchYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/theroadschurch
Faith - is it a matter of it being too small? Does our Faith really need to grow? Or is it that we need to increase our kŏinōnia - our partnership, our fellowship, our communion with our faith given to us by God, and eliminate our kŏinōnia with everything else? What if rather than "increasing our faith," we realize that we're partnering with too many other things, other than our faith, and what God says? If we, as believers are communing with unbelief, with fears, with discouragement and disappointments, asking we're others, and not God to speak into our situations, and we kŏinōnia with them, guess what?! We get the benefits and privileges attached to those partnerships. Whatever is being produced in and out of that communion, will begin to produce out of you.Who are you hanging out with, what are you listening to and watching, what are you embracing? We have to sit down with Holy Spirit and ask where we kŏinōnia with the wrong things. Until we do, we will never walk in freedom.SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49001763We invite you to explore our Podcast for more teachings, visit our website and come join us for one of our services.Subscribe to our Roads Church YouTube Channel for live stream notifications of our services every Sunday morning at 8 :30 & 10 :30 a.m. CT.If you would like to give to the ministry of The Roads Church visit: https://theroads.church/giving/Or text: Amount NC or Amount MTC or Amount CVILLE to 84321 (ex. 50 NC)Follow The Roads on social media:Roads App: https://subsplash.com/theroadschurch/appWebsite: https://theroads.churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theroadschurchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theroadschurchYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/theroadschurch
The disciples were instructed by Jesus to "go" with nothing - not even food or extra clothing, and when He asked them if they lacked anything on their journey, they replied, "Nothing."Do you lack anything? Or is Jesus enough? Is there anything you are dependent on that if you are given a choice between it and Jesus, you'd choose it over Jesus? A job? A bank account? A house? Things we all "need?"

It's only after Jesus speaks to us and shines into our lives does it create opposing forces operating in our lives. Before Jesus, only darkness leads us. With Jesus, we now have His light shining on the things of darkness, exposing them. It isn't once I find Jesus, I have no struggles, but rather, once I find Jesus the struggle begins. "Am I going to follow the Lord, or No?" The body of Christ hasn't endured the struggle, because we've believed for too long that once we find Jesus, it's going to be a utopia. The struggle is real! We must endure!SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/48994115We invite you to explore our Podcast for more teachings, visit our website and come join us for one of our services.Subscribe to our Roads Church YouTube Channel for live stream notifications of our services every Sunday morning at 8 :30 & 10 :30 a.m. CT.If you would like to give to the ministry of The Roads Church visit: https://theroads.church/giving/Or text: Amount NC or Amount MTC or Amount CVILLE to 84321 (ex. 50 NC)Follow The Roads on social media:Roads App: https://subsplash.com/theroadschurch/appWebsite: https://theroads.churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theroadschurchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theroadschurchYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/theroadschurch
As disciples, followers of Jesus, we need to endure trials, testing and longsuffering. Matthew 24 says, "He who endures to the end, shall be saved." Being a disciple, requires us to OBSERVE what He has commanded. To see it, apply it, and obey it. How serious it is when we trample Jesus, the son of God, under our feet when we don't choose Him, but rather be the god of our own lives. The blood that was shed and sprinkled on the Mercy Seat to make peace between God and man - we cannot count it as ordinary, or mock the Spirit of Grace - we will be judged, and it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. He is coming to bring justice on the earth.

Stuck between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's Army? And there's "NO WAY OUT?" Stand still! Look at Jesus. Keep quiet, and move forward. The Lord will fight for you! Even when the obstacle is still there, it's our responsibility to trust God, and keep moving forward to what He's told us to do. What have you seen God do in your life before now? He can do it again!

"CHRISTIAN" means CHRIST-LIKE, it does not mean church-goer.
What are we choosing?
What are we becoming?
Examining “As it is in Heaven” (Matthew 6 : 9-13) means examining what we are choosing. Choosing His Kingdom AUTOMATICALLY means saying “no” to the kingdom of the Earth. It is a love relationship with the King of Kings, Jesus, that causes lesser loves to fall away.
When the Kingdom of Heaven comes, it will not fit into the ways of the world. (John 18 : 36)

CHURCH - our lane is the EARTH! It's God's dominion, Jesus is the King, and the world needs the truth to be set free. God put a system in place to have His will be done on earth - PRAYER & DOMINION. We must be in relational communion with God in order to exercise the delegated authority for influencing all areas of society. The ramification of Christians not taking dominion is ungodliness ruling.

What if everything we've ever known about Church, is not like it is in Heaven? What if what we're comfortable with is not God? What if what makes us comfortable doesn't make Him comfortable? Church it's not about us. It's about Jesus, and God wants to break a culture of religion that is picky and preferential. God is wanting us to transition from singing about someone to seeing Him, for our worship to become about Him, and not just words we sing. As it is in Heaven. The challenge is sacrificing our will and choosing and trusting that what God wants is better than what I am sure is good. It's laying our crowns down. It's looking at Him and saying Holy, Holy, because He is worthy of all the praise on the Earth as it is in Heaven.

William Wood, from Global Awakening, shares with us the importance of seeing ourselves through the lens of our Creator. "When we desire to be somebody else, or take on somebody else's identity, or find our identity through some other means, we create within ourselves a dual identity, which creates an internal conflict that can only bring trauma to the soul. It is so important to understand who we are in Christ, and discover who we were created to be. The best way to see who you are, is by seeing yourself through the lens of your Creator. When you see yourself through God's lens, and allow Him to define who you are, you won't see yourself as you are, you'll see yourself as you're created to be."
Jesus has all authority in the Earth. This is Jesus' earth, and He's looking for ambassadors who will possess it for Him as authorized representatives of Jesus, as God pleads through our lives for people to be reconciled to Him. Our lives should be a walking billboard, through our words and actions - "Be reconciled to God." It's our job to take back the earth, teaching people to obey and conform their lives to be like Jesus. Church, we have to stop apologizing about the message of Jesus on the Earth, while the Kingdom of Darkness is boldly shouting its agenda. It's Jesus' earth!

Church, we have an assignment! It is God's original plan. It is to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to the Earth. It is through Jesus that we are redeemed from a dead spirit to a born again, living spirit that can house Holy Spirit. It's the same power as Jesus himself was anointed with to fulfill God's plan. Jesus used the power He was given to "do good" everywhere He went teaching, praying, laying on of hands, healing, delivering and pouring the Kingdom of Heaven into people. In turn, as "you go," you are to release the Kingdom of Heaven into others teaching, praying, laying on of hands, healing, and delivering. This is how we bring Heaven to Earth!

Maranatha is a groan and a prayer that before the return of Jesus will be the overwhelming cry of all of us, both individually and corporately - "COME LORD JESUS!"
It is the plan of God that the Church, as His people, recover the Maranatha cry to determine that our lives are in alignment with His desire for us. In the early church there was a declaration - "Maranatha!" that has mostly been lost today, meaning - "The Lord HAS come. The Lord IS coming." This is the gospel, the good news of hope we are extending to the world. Jesus has come and provided forgiveness for sins, but He's also coming back to judge the living and the dead, and He's coming back to restore Eden and the Kingdom of David.

From the very beginning, God's desire was Heaven on Earth. Jesus said to pray for the will of God to be on earth AS it is in Heaven. So we are to pray that Earth is the same way it is in Heaven. God assigned us to make Earth like Heaven from the beginning, when He put us in the Garden of Eden that we were to tend/work and keep/protect, as we increased it to spread around the world. Even the building of the Tabernacle and everything in it was God's pattern as it is in Heaven. We are to build our lives according to the pattern God gives us on the mountain, and not the pattern of the world. We should look, talk and live different, and not learn to follow the world's abominations against their gods, rather we are to conform and transform to be like Jesus. We are predestined to be like Jesus.

Will we be satisfied with little nibbles of bread for ourselves, or will we beg for loaves because someone is needing a miracle? The door may be shut now, but we keep knocking. We keep asking. Do you have the resolute boldness that goes beyond normal restraint, with no sensitivity for what is proper like Jesus taught us to pray that never gives up, never quits? We have nothing to offer others without Jesus, without hungering after Jesus, the loaves, the overflow to offer the people around us. "Lord, teach us to pray without ceasing!"

If it is possible . . . nevertheless. On earth as it is in heaven involves submitting our on earth preferences to His in heaven will. Jesus dealt with sorrow in the midst of God's will. Just like Jesus, it is possible for us to be right where God wants us, and still experience struggle, anguish and grief. It doesn't mean God has abandoned us. But it is when we do what Jesus did. Jesus, dealing with the flesh, went a little farther, fell on His face and prayed to God. He gave God His own preference, and submitted and chose God's heavenly will. Do you have a "nevertheless" in your life that says, "Not what I want, but what you want God?" Are you praying for the will of God to be done in your life, or are you just praying trying to convince God to do what you want done?

If our prayer time is only trying to convince God to give us what we want, we're not praying the way Jesus told us to pray. He taught us to pray the will of heaven to be done on the earth, not the will of earth to be done in heaven. His will is transformative and can take something that is and make it something different. God can transform our situations from what it is in the natural to what it can be in the supernatural. Our prayer, our worship and our faith matter.

We have a Father in heaven, and He and His Kingdom is our reality that rules over the earth. He is God. He is Holy. Jesus said for us to pray to our Father that His Kingdom (way, system) come. Christianity is a Kingdom with a King, and He is King Jesus! We serve Him, and not principles. Jesus also said for us to pray that the Father's Will be done on earth. We don't just talk about His will, but we pray that it is DONE. Earth is the the transformative object in Matthew 6, and Heaven is the model for earth to become like, and Jesus came to be a representative of heaven's principles and values that we align with.

Like the children of Israel called to a place of promise, everyone of us, by His Word are called to something, and God places each one of us in a calling for a purpose. We cannot let our comfort keep us from what God has for us, but instead be separate from the world and walk in the plan of God for our lives. Every one of us goes through a time where we don't feel like we measure up, we're not good enough, but God's plan and purpose needs who you are, and where you've been placed.

God is making oil. The Pressing is not your story. Becoming the Oil is your story through the crushing and pressing, just like an olive that first has to be crushed and then pressed. There are two millstones that can crush us. We can choose the millstone that crushes us and turns us into oil that God can come and consume, or we can choose the millstone tied around our neck to be drowned in the sea.
Olives have so much oil to give that they are pressed three times. Many people will be pressed for the first pressing, where we give Him our "Sunday Best." Many people will be pressed to be useful and serve God. The third pressing is the everyday, who I really am oil. The oil in my home, how I treat my spouse and how I talk to my children oil. The Bridegroom is coming, you have to be pressed yourself. God is calling a people who will not just give them their best, or just serve Him with their works, but who will give ALL that the olive has to give.

We are moving into a time that people are being called out of Babylon (the world's culture and system that is inherently evil), and awakening to the fact that their lives have been tethered to a culture that has been manipulating and guiding them in a false narrative towards Hell, and God is saying, "My body, my bride is waking up to this fact, and I am leading them out, starting with families." There is a shift and God is moving and positioning people for the coming revival that is beginning and generating through families.

Pentecost is not a weird denomination, it's a Jewish feast that literally means 50, and it falls 50 days after Passover. Holy Spirit is the Promise Jesus told the disciples to wait for, and is the one that came on the day of Pentecost. Holy Spirit is the person of Pentecost. Jesus baptizes us into Holy Spirit, and it is through Holy Spirit that we have supernatural influence in the midst of opposing forces to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to hand. Our hope is not found in horizontal solutions. Kingdom culture has vertical solutions that override natural realities. God is a god that wants to encounter you. The gifts of Holy Spirit are for each and every person, and we need His power in our lives to live victoriously.

The Cup of Praise or The Wedding Cup is the fourth and final cup of Passover. Exodus 6:7 “I will take them as my own people, and I will be their God” sounds very much like the verse in Song of Solomon 6:3 “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” “I will take” in Hebrew means “to marry.” These verses are not just promises, they are a marriage proposal. God is asking the Hebrews: These are my promises and terms, will you marry me?
Betrothal, called the kiddushin, is the Jewish ritual that takes place when making a covenant marriage. In Biblical times, the kiddushin was taken very seriously. The written words of the covenant are called the: Ketubah (ke-tu-bah). Once conditions of the covenant are discussed and agreed upon, the agreement is put in writing. The Ketubah or Word became the property of the bride. She would hold on to this document to protect her rights, and to be sure the groom kept his word. Once the Ketubah is signed by two witnesses, the couple would be legally married.
The Old Testament is the first Kiddushin and the Ketubah is between God and Israel. The first Ketubah was based on the law and it turned into a one-way love affair. The Hebrews essentially said, “I will marry you and be faithful out of duty”.
The New Testament is the second Kiddushin and the Ketubah is between Jesus and any who will receive Him. This second Ketubah (new covenant) was not based on duty, but on love. Jesus is saying to us: “Will you marry me and be faithful out of love?”

By God's grace we have been saved, rescued, healed, made whole. Saved isn't about "getting" saved, but rather about "becoming" saved. It's an ongoing, continual process of: "I have been saved," because Jesus saved us by dying on the cross; "I am being saved," as we are becoming who He wants us to become; and "I will be saved," when Jesus returns and takes us to heaven. And just like we go "through" a door to get somewhere, we go "through" faith to step into being saved, which God has already provided for us. We must put our faith in the condition provided to us by Jesus, and not circumstantial evidence. When were we "saved?" The Cross. We step into that condition when we receive it by faith.

There are things about God's love, and a depth of His love that He wants to reveal to His Bride, the Church. The Gospel is a love story that He wants to restore. Love is who He is, and it is His motivation for everything He does. He wants to restore our first love to Him, the love that we have for each other as the body of Christ, and the love for others, outside the body of Christ. It is when our hearts and love are restored to the King that we are then able to freely love others.

We are saved, healed and delivered based on who we are connected to - Jesus, and not based on what we're separated from. We can still be a "good person," and not participated in doing certain things, and still not be in a relationship with Jesus. Jesus is the Way, and the only Way. It's God's rules, cuz it's God's Heaven, and His Way offers the most inclusive life there is. He came to save the whole world, and apart from Him we can do nothing. We have to stay connected to Him for everything, and not just look for being rescued, but look for our Rescuer, not allowing the world to back us up from believing and speaking with zeal - the truth of His Word.

Can you imagine what the disciples were going through from the Resurrection to the day of Pentecost - what they were thinking and feeling, and THE WAITING? So much of our lives are just spent waiting that is actually leading us from glory to glory, as we lean in and refine our focus, and wait for the promise of the Father. In the midst of the waiting, don't abandon the promise. We don't ever escape the waiting, but when the waiting is over, the Father's promise always comes.

There are two thrones, the Great White Throne and the Judgement Seat of Christ. We will ALL have to stand before Jesus and give an account for our life, including all the good and all the bad things we've done. It's God's heaven, and it's His rules. HIs rule is that there's one way - JESUS. God is just, and when we stand before the Great White Throne, if you rejected His son Jesus, and your name isn't found in the other book - The Book of Life, Jesus cannot represent you before HIs Father, you will only have your life's works to represent you before God. Jesus can only represent you, when you belong to Him. That's when your name is found in the Book of Life. That's when His blood covers all of your works. That's when Jesus will acknowledge you before His Father. Which throne will you stand before?

We don't like the word patience. Most of us don't like to wait for anything. In our culture, we can barely wait for 14 minutes let alone 14 hours for something. But God says to imitate those that inherited the promises through faith and patience. God is faithful - so hold fast, endure, stick with it, without wavering, even when we go through some suffering - patiently endure, and our possessions in heaven can't be taken away from us. We must increase our capacity to hold up under difficult circumstances and endure.

True biblical consecration is about being dedicated unto something better or more valuable, which results in being set apart from something less valuable. Once we rank value in our life, our time, energy and resources start to be distributed along the lines of what we value. Consecrating is evacuating things in our life that comes out of embracing a relationship with Jesus, because when we are in a relationship with Jesus, there are things that we no longer need.
Church, even if we are hated for it, we cannot be afraid of being consecrated unto Him, leaving the values of the world behind. When we choose Him, we will walk away from the world's values, we will put on the new man, as we work out the faith and non-faith in our own lives, and live according to scripture - not culture out of our relationship with Jesus.

Being filled with God's glory went from fire coming down from heaven and filling a room in the Old Testament, to fire coming down from heaven and filling individuals in the New Testament. The glory of God in us, is for today, giving us power and authority over all demons, to cure diseases, to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
God wants to fill some individual containers, and as He fills each one, we won't stay the same, because things that used to be able to get in, can no longer get in, and impurities that were already in, can't stay - there's no room. His presence starts pushing out what isn't allowed anymore. We just keep pouring out, and He'll keep filling us up.

What if there is something that could still be done to engage what God wants in our lives, but we just don't know about it yet? Just because we do all we know to do, doesn't mean it's all there is to do. Even when we see the right things in the Bible, believe the right things in the Bible, the process, the walk to engage what we see and believe is hard. We have to cut through the excuses, the obstacles, the opposition, opinions, doubts, fears, religion, intimidation to get to the hem of Jesus' garment. Engaging and encountering God is going to require us to press through, and fight the good fight, until Jesus returns. We don't stop. We keep comin'.

It's time to reengage! Whatever you're needing today, go through the word of God and engage it.
God has plans and purpose for our lives spoken in the Word and it is the will of God. It is the driving gear. It moves everything in our lives. All of what God has for our lives, does not impact your life, until you get close and engage and connect with Him by faith, and that's when our lives move in the same direction as His will and Word. We must not disengage with His Word. We must not reject God's method, because it doesn't meet our approval. The enemy will keep talking, trying to get us to disengage. Don't! Fulfill the Word of God for your Life!

There are 5 Phases of Preparing a Personal Dwelling Place with God. If we are going to experience the presence of God and walk in the things of God, the first thing we have to do is go through the "right" door. We have to #1 ENTER it. Jesus is the door! There's no getting around Him. He is the doorway into life. There is no life outside of Him, only existing, and without being born again, we can't even see His kingdom, how it is governed - how he "rolls." The goal of God, is to speak with us, and once we go through the door - JESUS, the WORD, with your BIBLE open, He will #2 ENGAGE us in conversation about all the mighty things He has to say. They are LIFE. Engage in what He says. The voices we focus on, are the voices that will influence us the most. HIs WORD is LIFE. He has mighty things He wants to bring us up higher to engage with Him about.
Choose JESUS. He is the "right" door, then go through Him, and Engage Him!

"This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations." It goes from something I shall do, to something bigger than me. It's a Roads Church core value - "We are Building His Kingdom - It's Bigger Than Us!" Passing down to our children a relationship with our our heavenly Father, His son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit is the goal. We never stop, but we are to be consistent, and pass it on, pointing towards giving it to the generations that come after us.
We reach the "nations" by going through the generations. The goals is not to reach the nations at the expense of the generations. Reaching the "nations" starts with reaching those in our own homes. Training our children in "The Way" they should go is about developing behavior by instruction and practice, pointing back to the Bible as the basis for our truth. Don't ever apologize for teaching a way that is narrow and difficult - it is the way of Jesus.

God is a "Covenant" God. The Hebrew culture understands and takes seriously living in covenant. God established covenant with His children to bind Himself with them. Through Jesus we have a new covenant, and it is unconditional, clothing us with His righteousness. God always watches over and keeps His Covenant with His people, never breaking or going back on His word. Knowing and understanding His covenant as His sons & daughters, is necessary for living a covenant life with God.

Jesus needs to be our STEADFAST connection, our source that we establish our position in. He is the one that is sitting on the throne that one day we will be face-to-face with and answer to. His word stands forever, and our position needs to come from the heart of Jesus. Everyone will be held accountable by the same thing - His Word. So then, we are to be ROOTED in Jesus, BUILT UP continually, as we keep building upon and growing, ESTABLISHED in the FAITH by the increasing of our inner strength in both character and attitude. James 5:8 says, "Establish your hearts for the coming of the Lord is at hand." It's time to establish your heart. It's time to connect with Jesus.

Through God's Word and His precious promises found in His Word, we will become partakers of His "divine nature," His character. God has given us everything for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him. Our relationship with God is not about getting something from Him, it's about being a partaker of His nature, and becoming something with Him. Don't be satisfied being an observer, and watching from the sidelines.

Three things are required to prepare ourselves as a dwelling place - Offering, Sacrifice and CONSISTENCY. Day by day, continually we offer our lives to Jesus. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday . . . not just on Sundays at church, we have to commit our hearts to only do what honors Him, constantly, regularly, perpetually, never stopping. We keep coming, and we don't back down! Being a long-term, successful follower of Jesus, requires consistency. No one can choose it for you, you must choose for yourself every day. It can be our biggest challenge, giving our life to Jesus and staying in love with Him. It's through a relationship and connection with Him that is the means by which we are victorious in every area of our life, valuing the connection and relationship itself, and not valuing what comes out of or from the relationship. The moment what is given takes priority over the giver, we open ourselves up to deception.
Are you ready to offer all of your heart in worship to Jesus? Are you willing to lay your life down as a sacrifice and live only for Him? Have I been using Jesus as a means to the end, instead of the end Himself?

In order to answer the question, "How do you know if you're a follower of Jesus?" We must ask the question, "Who is determining my direction and route of movement?" If you're making decisions without prayer and seeking the face of God, then it's you. BUT, if you want to go after Jesus, and let Him be your direction and determine your route of movement, to be your leader, He invites us to take up our cross, lay everything of our own down to do whatever it takes to follow Him. This isn't a question of salvation, it's a question of if you are following Jesus, knowing Him, the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. As Paul says through it all, "even if I die, I will attain the resurrection of the dead."

Preparing a Dwelling Place requires an OFFERING and a SACRIFICE. Biblical Christianity consists of OFFERING something to God in worship, giving willingly not begrudgingly something we have. It's our worship UNTO Him. The number one thing we can give Him is our heart, and then everything else will come with it. God's always ready to make us overflow. He's just waiting on us to give.
The altar is a place of death or SACRIFICE. Our offering of our lives to God will involve death of some kind. We are to live holy and acceptable to God. To live holy, we focus on what is acceptable to God. When we are willing to lose our lives for the sake of Jesus, we will find our life. It's His dreams in us and Him living through us that brings life to us. Christianity's symbol is the cross. We die, and He lives through us. We will not have resurrection power or glory in our lives if we aren't willing to die.

We want to be a dwelling place for God. BUT, first comes the altar and the sacrifice of dying to ourselves, climbing up onto the altar, and saying - "God I just want what you want." That offering is a sweet aroma of reconciliation to God. And He wants to come and dwell and consume what we offer Him. It's an every, single day thing to present our bodies as a living sacrifice - holy and acceptable to God. From your heart, begin to offer God something that is a sacrifice. Something that will require death to your comfort and preferences. Our offering to God, will require death of our flesh in our lives.

In Exodus 20, when the intense presence of God came, and the people saw it, they trembled and backed away, and stood a far off where they were more comfortable. They told Moses that they wanted him to talk to God, and then Moses could tell them what God said. Encountering God's presence can be uncomfortable. When He shows up things move and shake.
But, are we people who stand a far off, or draw near to Him? Are we hungry for Him, or hungry for lunch? The Bible says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." God's desire has always been from the beginning to dwell with us. His Presence is everything.

There is no "good person," "church-going" category of people in the end. There are only two categories - in Love with Jesus or Not!
When a person is pregnant in the natural, everything is changed to accommodate for the one they are pregnant with. They are careful, mindful and protective of what is more valuable on the inside of them than their own preferences and desires - the things they eat, drink and participate in.
Mary said, "Let it be to me according to your word." And it cost her. Carrying the presence of God, Him living in us should affect and change us. It should and will cost us - how we live our lives, our reputation, our friends and family. Are you willing to let God live on the inside of you? At any cost?
Preparing a "Dwelling Place" is about preparing our lives to be a dwelling place for God to be with you and in you. Pastor Chad Everett teaches from Genesis chapters 1 - 3 that God has always had ONE desire from the very beginning and it is to dwell with us, and that we were formed and created with a "dominion mindset," as demonstrated in these chapters. Addressing some truths about some religious beliefs, he instructs those who are listening - to not just listen, but to hear and apply what you hear.

God has always desired to have a relationship with you. He wants to co-create with you, out of a heart relationship with Him.
God's design for creation was to adopt His heart out of love and relationship, so that we begin to make decisions based on that heart relationship with Him, and we begin to do things like Him so that He is represented in the earth through that expression. He wants you to love Him so much that when you do things on the earth, it's out of the context of relationship with Him.

King David's heart was to build a temple for God to come and dwell, at the cost of his own interests and comfort. He had a passion for the presence of God. A heart for the New Testament, but living in the Old Testament. When we pursue Him, it's not for what He can do for us, it's simply pursuing who He is. We aren't asking for just a visitation, but for Him to come and find a place He can dwell. We are making that the most important thing - more important than our own interests and comfort. We welcome Him above any of our own agendas. His Presence Is Everything!

Come, Lord Jesus! The Kingdom has come already, it is still coming and it will come in totality. Chad Everett, Lead Pastor of The Roads Church gives us the picture of the end-times through scripture, and shows us the end-times Jesus.
Jesus is coming quickly, and He is bringing His reward to give to each one's faithful, obedience to what He's asked them to do - your assignment. Church, we are the bride of Christ, married to Jesus. And the Spirit and the Bride (the Church) say, "COME!" The Saints are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus that they might have the right to the tree of life. Of all the details about the end times, what He wants is for us to fall in love with the "WHO" - Jesus! Are you ready? Are you keeping His commandments?

Will we bow to the beast? There will not be an obvious cut and dry line where you choose and stand in line to worship God or worship Satan. The Bible says that even the elect will be deceived and depart from the faith. In Genesis 3, Adam & Eve never said, "I choose to worship Lucifer." or "I renounce God." No. There was a cunning serpent that deceived them into choosing to obey and submit to his authority over God, and in that moment they died. The Deceiver is conditioning the world right now to control what we do and what we think, and there will be a Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego moment where you will choose to stand for what you believe and what Jesus says. Get conditioned right now.

The Church of Revelation - we're getting our focus back to the Kingdom of God vs the Kingdom of Darkness. We need to study the Word. Jesus wrote the Bible just for us to know what's coming!
There's a weakness in the church due to biblical illiteracy and a lack of discipleship. As things move toward the end times, be ready for a discrediting of biblical world views. Those who have been born again, will NOT worship the anti-Christ. Everyone else will. Why? Because they don't know.
The only way we will know, is because we have the knowledge of God given to us that we will see things that other people don't see. We'll be awakened to things, and have revelation of things that they will not have. The anti-Christ will have the authority of Satan, but we have the authority of Jesus! Are there any sons and daughters willing to know and exercise their authority in the face of adversity? Is there anyone that's going to say, "I'm on Team Jesus" the victorious side?
Someday, Revelation 13 will happen - we better be paying attention!

What if our tradition - our pattern of thoughts and behavior - didn't mimic the tradition of man, BUT rather the Kingdom of Heaven? Do we believe like the hypocrites in Matthew 15:7 that everything that they had been given and passed down was right, and honored God with their lips, BUT not their heart? Church - Jesus wants to break some traditional mindsets! He's up to something different in the earth, and we've got to be intentional about identifying the source of the script that is being written for our life.

"When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them." Revelation 11:7
Their testimony cost them their life. BUT GOD brought them through.
The PRIZE of our testimony is one thing, but the PRICE of our testimony - we have to weigh the cost, and be prepared. Are you prepared with a testimony that might cost you something? Are you ready to give your life for Jesus? Team Jesus will win! Anyone who opposes the Kingdom of God will fail.

There is coming a day on the earth that Satan will give his complete power and authority to a man. He will be so deceitful and powerful, unlike anything we've ever seen. THE ONLY thing that will help us, is the knowledge of the Word of God. You have got to have a personal relationship with the Word of God. Biblical illiteracy is killing Christianity in the world today.
Satan and his angels have power, ability and strength, but it wasn't enough when war broke out in heaven. They could not prevail. They were cast out of heaven when Jesus came to earth, died, buried, raised from the dead and ascended to heaven and applied His blood on the Mercy seat.
Just because Satan has power and can fight us, doesn't mean he will prevail. Just as he wasn't enough in the war in heaven, he's still not enough, because the ONE who lives in us is greater than he that is in the world.
You need Jesus' supernatural provision, and your own personal testimony that applies the truths of the gospel of Jesus to overcome. Put the blood of Jesus on your heart, and have a testimony that is evidence that Jesus is the Lord of your life.

We do not wrestle with flesh and blood, but it doesn't mean we will not deal with flesh and blood that is cooperating with the agenda of the kingdom of darkness. The world has convinced the Church that Christian love is about never saying anything to anyone against anything and just be nice. Christian love is not about being silent and not calling out wickedness.
What God is calling us to do is to distinguish between the spiritual source - Satan and his kingdom of darkness and the physical manifestation - human beings that are cooperating with his agenda. They can be redeemed. We pray for them. We love them. We are kind to them. But we are still calling out wickedness and inviting them into a relationship with Jesus. And it's still be loving when pointing out wickedness.

There is coming a deceiver on the earth - the likes of which have never been seen before in all of history. There will be a level of deception that we can't take for granted our knowledge of God and His Word. We have to be students of the Word, or we can be deceived. The Bible says, "even the very elect will be deceived." We need to be prepared. There's no going back to "normal." Christians - we are made for this time, as the Bible plays out in front of our eyes.

Ultimately, at the root of everything we are dealing with in this age is a spiritual warfare. It is the conflict of two agendas - the Kingdom of Darkness (to kill, steal and destroy) and the Kingdom of God (to bring life, and life more abundantly). We are equipped, built and have mighty weapons for the warfare. Jesus brought the Kingdom of God here, and we have access to it, and our job is to enforce Satan's defeat by Jesus.
God wants us to be careful about our source that gives us perspective and solutions. Our Kingdom source for perspective and solutions for our lives - is JESUS, found in the Word. We must be persuaded by what we believe, so that shaky moments in life are overridden by persuaded moments. Fear is driving people to lose their minds and be irrational. Get full of the Word of God. Let no one deceive you by any means. Turn off the news, and the newsfeed, open up your Bible and do not be deceived, because your source is the truth of the Word of God. There will be a yielding to deception and departing from God - the falling away before Jesus returns. Just because we are of the enemies agenda, we don't forget about our mighty weapons. The Church isn't in the midst of darkness to survive, but so that we can be light - changing and influencing the world.

Sons & daughters of the Kingdom - we are put in positions of influence every single day of our lives, and maybe, we are put in the positions we're in FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!
Some theologies teach that the world is the consuming force, and that as Christians we should run and hide until Jesus returns. BUT the Kingdom Theology teaches that the Kingdom of Heaven is the consuming force and it shall overtake the world through influence. If we live our lives in Kingdom Theology, we live knowing that He who lives in us is greater than he that lives in the world.
The culture of heaven, the values, attitudes, practices and values of the system that comes from heaven, trumps the culture of this world, and we get the culture of heaven from the WORD of God.

What's going on in the world around us? There's a sowing age and there is wisdom and rulers of the age - it all comes to nothing. It will end. Pastor Chad Everett in the Kingdom Culture sermon series is pointing to the way, the truth and the life - JESUS, as we seek to get grounded in the Word of God - to keep from being deceived. At the end of the age, Jesus warned His disciples that "many" will be deceived. Jesus' side - at the end of this age - it will be the side that will stay standing. Church attendance isn't what makes a person a Christian. When harvest time comes, we will harvest what we sowed here and now in this age. What are you sowing in this age?

There's a day that's coming at the end of this age, and there's a Savior that died for you! There is a furnace of fire, and the wicked will be cast into it. It wasn't their destiny, but by rejecting the gospel of Jesus Christ, they are found wicked - a goat and a tare. Every single one of us will stand before the judgement throne - alone. The reality of that moment when you hear, "depart from me...," and your eyes are opened to the realization that there is no hope and that it's too late, it will be unbearable and there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Right now, you have the opportunity to say, "Jesus, save me." Do you understand?

What's the Kingdom of Heaven like? The system of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. As we pursue things in this world, the only field that matters, is the field that the treasure is in. We can have all kinds of fields that provide an income, but they don't have the treasure. When you get into the field that has the treasure, you will not only have provision and increase, but you'll also have the most important thing - the treasure. The treasure is Jesus. God has it all hidden for us to go after and dig it up, at the cost of leaving everything else. The man in the parable was willing to sell all other fields to purchase the one field that the treasure was in. What field are you digging in? One with the treasure? Count the cost.

Eternity is waiting for all of us. We need to know where we stand.
In the world there are two sources of seeds that are being sown - God & the enemy. The "wheat," the good seed, the son's of the Kingdom comes from Jesus. The "tares," the bad seed, the son's of the wicked one, comes from the enemy, and he's planting tares right among the wheat. Tares and wheat look alike, until the point that fruit is produced. Tares will become exposed when the son's of God's Kingdom begins to produce fruit of the kingdom. Our job as son's and daughter's of God is to produce kingdom fruit, and those in the house of God pretending and practicing lawlessness, will not produce fruit and will first be gathered, bound together and thrown into the fire.

God's saying, "Where is my leaven?" There are people in our lives that God wants us to love and speak truth into their lives, so that God can cause them to rise up into the life He has for them, but their has to be leaven - a catalyst to insert the truth into the world living without the truth. Church will you be leaven for God in this world? It comes with a cost. It comes with rejection and hatred. Will you count the cost and influence people in your life for His Kingdom?

What kind of seed are you sowing? The seed of the Kingdom of Heaven is The Word, and meditating on The Word day and night is how we sow the Kingdom of Heaven in our lives, allowing it to grow. What we SOW to GROW, is what we BECOME. It's the fruit of the spirit. It's the Culture of Heaven, in other words, it's the attitudes, values, goals and practices of the system of heaven operating in our lives. What do you want to become? Look at what you're sowing! The Word is the seed to plant, if you want to become like Jesus!

We have to hear what God says and hear it ONLY. Most of the time in our lives, hearing from God isn't the problem. The problem is that we hear too many other things that contradict what God says. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Faith cannot come in an area where other voices are dominating. When we begin to hear THROUGH the Word more than other voices then faith can arise in our hearts.

Do we become what we behold? Does it matter what we behold? The biblical principle is that we can either be full of light or full of darkness, and in some way it correlates with our eyes. Our eyes are a gate to the garden soil of our heart. What we let in can take root and produce a harvest. Whatever is put into our heart is magnified. If you want to behold and magnify Jesus, He's found in the Word - the Bible. He is the Word made flesh, and the more we behold Him, the more we become like Him. What are you beholding today?

How desperate are you? Are you willing to get rid of all that is hindering you, and run to JESUS? Bartimaeus' story tells how he Heard, Responded, Resisted, Persisted, Received and he Followed. He took action and didn't just sit on the side of the road expecting something would change for him. When Jesus asked Him what he wanted Him to do for him, at great cost and challenging religion, Bartemaeus' pursued Jesus. And Jesus called for Him, and his faith healed him. Jesus is looking for some Bartemauses. Will you pursue Jesus no matter the cost?

What does it mean to have MORE of God? What does MORE look like?
Getting more of God in your life will require greater pursuit after the nature, character and quality of the person of Jesus. You must be willing to pay the cost of becoming less so that God can become more in your life. Sometimes you have to think differently than your current surroundings, even if it looks foolish and if there is opposition. The MORE you get of God - the less everything else becomes, and the more He exposes your heart.

What does it mean to be a person after God's own heart? And am I one? Can I be one?
God's eyes are going to-and-fro looking for someone whose heart is after His, and He's going to show Himself strong on their behalf. Saul didn't make the cut, only because his heart wasn't after and pursuing God's heart. God FOUND David with a heart after Him amongst the sheep, playing the harp and worshiping God. Whose heart are you after?
A Person after God’s own heart will NOT be: 1) INSECURE - Approval of others does not determine our actions and behavior. 2) IMPATIENT - Amount of time passing will not determine the amount of their faithfulness. 3) INTIMIDATED - Level of opposition will not determine their level of courage.

The darkness in the world is the responsibility of the church to do something about it. The mission of your spirit-filled life isn't to be pointing out the sins of others, but rather it's that your life is to bring conviction to the world, bringing to it an understanding of its created purpose.

Cares of this world, deceitfulness of riches and desires for other things will choke the Word of God out of our lives. We can't get rid of the cares of this world, we all operate with money in our lives, and have desires for other things, but the problem is when these things "enter in." It's when the cares of the world stop being AROUND you, and they get IN you. The only thing that's supposed to be IN you - is the WORD. And when the Word is in you - the cares of the world stay with out you. What you allow in you, is what you will produce out of you.
Sermon Notes: https://theroads.church/sermon-notes/
When Elijah was taken up to heaven to be with the Lord he asked Elisha what he wanted from him, Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit that was upon Elijah. Elisha went on to perform double the miracles that Elijah did. In the New Testament Jesus told His disciples not to go out until they were indued with power. When we are clothed with the power of the Holy Spirit miracles happen! The Holy Spirit can touch lives in ways that we never could on our own!

Sometimes we can hoard things in our hearts, things like offense, unforgiveness, preferences, and many more, and we try to fit God in between all of the stuff that we are carrying around in our hearts. We have to learn how to get rid of all the bad things to make room for Jesus. He doesn't want to be fit in among everything else, He wants to be the one thing that takes up the most space in our lives. Let's make room for Him to take up space in our hearts!

There are a set of attitudes, values and goals that match the Kingdom Culture - Heaven, and the same is true that there are attitudes, values and goals that match the culture of the kingdoms of the world. Satan has a counter culture to the kingdom of heaven's culture, and his goal is to get us to believe that we can live without God, and once we believe we can live without God, we worship ourselves, and adopt Satan's culture. Which culture will you adopt?
Sermon Notes: https://theroads.church/sermon-notes/
We invite you into a journey to learn what it means to walk in the kingdom and not just church and religion. The church is forgetting that we've been given the culture and kingdom of God. It's the right culture. The culture of love, forgiveness, joy and peach. We can't back off of what we have, and let the world intimidate us church.

Jesus spoke to his disciples about the importance of children. They are not separate from the rest of the church but are an important part of it. When we forget to remember their importance in the body of Christ we are neglecting their spiritual growth. The Father has a heart for all children and the role that they play in shaping the church. Children are the church!

God’s original intent was to meet with us. When He came to meet with the Israelites in Exodus they were afraid of the presence of God and asked Moses to speak to God for them. They liked the idea of doing things for God but not the idea of meeting with Him. The Bible says we should serve the Lord with fear. We need to have the right kind of fear. Our fear causes us to pull away from God but God’s fear causes us to draw near to Him. He wants to meet with us wherever we are, even in fear!

When Jesus was crucified darkness settle on the Earth in the middle of the day and the veil that separated us from the presence of God was torn from top to bottom. Jesus was sealed in a tomb by a stone, He was in complete darkness just like the Earth. On the third day, He rose and the stone was rolled away and His light was shining in the Earth again. The light overcame the darkness! Darkness will bring uncertainty, fear, and depression but the light, Jesus, will always overcome. Even now when all hope is lost, even now in your greatest defeat, even now when there seems to be no way out stay connected to your source of light Jesus will show up!

"No Cross, No Kingdom" - Christian - everything God wants to do in your life, come through His cross and your cross. Paul said, "I crucify myself daily." Be Bold! Say, "Yes, I live for Jesus and I'm going to crucify my flesh and my desires and I'm going to follow Jesus."

One year ago, God spoke a warning about being lethargic and the darkness that we face in our lives, today He spoke an encouragement about the light we have within because of Jesus! The past year has been a tough one for many but God wants to extend our arms back to Him with the purpose of returning the dislocations and fractures in our lives to their original state. We will still face hardships but darkness cannot comprehend the light. We should shine when life is good but we should shine especially when life is tough. Light overcomes darkness!

The Bible uses a lot of symbolism, it will then be explained in straightforward literal terms. Daniel and Revelation are good examples of this when they refer to the harlot riding the beast. The beast is coalition under the leadership of the Antichrist and the harlot represents the city that will hold an influence over the Antichrist kingdom. What the city, harlot, used to control will eventually turn on her and burn her with fire. Nothing will be without judgment.

God is the one who brought us out of who we used to be, you didn’t do it on your own. In Psalm 81 He asks us to open our mouth, life, wide and He will fill it. When we open our life wide we should be making room for Him in our hearts and the possibility that comes with Him. The space you do not make available God will not fill until you begin to choose to push the away the junk that fills those spaces. He wants to fill us but making space comes first. God will fill the space that we make available!

How should we communicate in our relationships? Having a transparent, open approach to the way we communicate with a spouse, children, and even in our friendships creates a safe place for us to share what’s in our hearts. When God created Adam and Eve the Bible says, they were naked and unashamed. It was not just referring to physical nakedness but emotional and spiritual nakedness as well. We can be completely open and transparent with God, it’s a safe place with no judgment on the way we feel. With the right people in our lives, we can be open with in a similar way!
We have to leave our political alliances behind, regardless of which party, when they do not fall in line with what the word of God says. God made it very clear that His support is always with the nation of Israel and ours should be as well. The antichrist is going to raise up an army out of the middle east and wage a war against Israel. The seven Empires mentioned in Ezekiel 38 will be part of this army and will be led be an eighth Empire. We are given a lot of information pointing to the nation of Turkey and its leaders who will in turn bring the Ottoman Empire to power again.

The Bible gives us a lot of specifics about the end times. God spoke to Daniel in dreams and visions of what the end times would bring. He gave great details about where the antichrist would come from and when he will appear. Why did God give us all of these details? He gave them so that we would be encouraged about His return and not deceived by the antichrist.

Is the Bible accurate? God knows the truth about what is coming ahead in our futures. We are born for this time in history! In the Bible, God sends the angel Gabriel to speak to Daniel. He spoke of nations and kingdoms that would rise and fall in the years ahead. Everything that God spoke through Gabriel came to pass at the exact time that God said it would. God’s word is the truth and is accurate for the future of the world!

Where is your source of truth? God is spirit, He breathed His spirit into humanity when He created us. Our spiritual being directly affects our natural lives. We have to work on our spirit and fill it with truth from the correct source, God, in order to change our outward lives. There are other spirits that exist that are not of God. Do not believe every spirit or person that claims to be of God instead, test them. Our source of truth should come from God!

In the hour that our world is currently in there is more opposition and tribulation than there ever has been before, but there is hope in the midst of trials and there is peace in the midst of opposition!

This is THE YEAR OF PROGRESS, of advancing forward and taking the hill of opposition. This year will require you to trust in the Lord with all your heart, soul, and strength as you continue to advance towards the promises that He has given you in His Word. This year will be a year of losses and victories as you press towards the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Are you in search of the truth? These times are not for the faint of heart but for those who are determined to see God’s Kingdom come and His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. The valiant will fall in battle but the battle will not be for naught. The battle, what we are facing in today’s world, is more important than us. The victory is sure for those who refuse to quit and continue to advance towards God’s Kingdom. Stay the course and advance! This is the year of progress against seemingly unsurmountable odds so keep your eyes on Him and do not be overcome by the enemy. He has already won the victory for you!

Biblical fasting is abstaining from food for a spiritual purpose. We are going after Him when we fast. It’s not about what we are depriving ourselves of but rather what we are prioritizing. Prayer and fasting do not move and manipulate God to do something that He wasn’t planning on doing, it moves our hearts into alignment with Him. We fast to become better people because we get more of Him!

Who do you answer to? Prayer and fasting is one way of humbling ourselves before God. When we humble ourselves, we are bowing down to something that is greater than us. God doesn’t humble us we have to do it ourselves. Humbling and submitting ourselves to the Lord not only benefits us but it benefits our little ones or the people we have an impact on. We should be seeking the right way. He is the right way!

Does good news mean the absence of bad news? Receiving good news does not always come without opposition. When Jesus was born it was good news for the whole world but from a human standpoint was bad news for Joseph. After Joseph had already made a promise and commitment to Mary he found out that she was pregnant. She was pregnant by the Holy Spirit, and He had to reveal that to Joseph Himself. Joseph had to trust the Holy Spirit in the process when he wasn’t sure what and how things were happening. The Holy Spirit brings good news but sometimes it comes with opposition!

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝘿 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣? The Bible is and will play out on the news - although it will be late and inaccurate - the Bible is good for current events and what will happen in the "End Times." This sermon takes us to the books of Daniel and Revelation to see the END through the TRUTH! The source of the ultimate truth is the word of God.

Is the Bible accurate? In the book of Daniel God speaks through a dream and predicts the rise and fall of world leaders for the next 2,000 years after the dream was given. All of it came to pass just as He spoke it. He also spoke clearly about the days the antichrist would be active on the Earth. Just like the Empires and leaders that fell before him, he will also fall. Jesus is returning and His team is the winning team!

Are you ready for that day? The bible says that on the day of the Lord, Jesus will gather His people to Himself. For people who are not ready His return will be like a thief in the night. It should be different for Christians. He gave us the information we need to not be deceived, it's right in our bibles. We should be watching and ready for His return.

Are you enduring until the end? Many will be deceived because they won’t look for the truth. Be ready to be the few because the timid - the many - won’t want to pay the cost of enduring. The end hasn’t come yet, but we will be hated for His name's sake. We will have to endure the hatred not ignore it. It’s not about those who start but those who endure. If we endure until the end we will be saved!

Judas, one of the twelve disciples, betrayed Jesus and the eleven others were deceived. Judas had spent every day traveling and living with them yet they did not see his true intentions and deception. When we get away from the truth of God we open ourselves up to the lies of the devil. Neglecting the Word of God makes it hard to see the lies and deception that we come in contact with. We have a choice to be on the losing team, the devil, or the winning team, Jesus. What team are you on? SERMON NOTES: www.theroads.church/sermon-notes

Are you ready for THAT Day? We have to live our lives in preparation for the day that Jesus comes back. If we get our cares too much on this life and we forget about eternity, that is when the return of Jesus comes on us unexpectedly. We have to be prepared for battle, to stand for our faith, and be ready to stand against persecution. SERMON NOTES: www.theroads.church/sermon-notes

Where are you getting your truth? The word of God is the truth we should have in our hearts and the truth we live by. In today’s world, we are afraid of offending others and not being liked. When we speak the truth of God we will have opposition and some people won’t like it. The truth of God’s word should be more important than the world's opinions of us!

"I'm not preparing you for a debate about Coronavirus, I'm preparing you for the Antichrist." It's easier to be deceived right now more than ever in history. There's so much deception going on, and understanding what is right and what is wrong has never been more difficult for people. We get into trouble and become deceived when we believe what is false - to be true, or to believe what is true - to be false.
There are two voices vying for our loyalty - The Kingdom of God and The Kingdom of Darkness. Both of them want the same thing. They want our "believer." If they get your "believer," they will get your "behavior." Once you choose to believe something, it affects how you act, think & talk.
The ONLY way we can prevent being deceived is by knowing THE TRUTH. The Bible is the truth. When we make decisions - we open up the Bible. EVERYTHING has to be run through the filter of God's Word.

In today’s world, it is easier to be deceived more than ever before. When there is so much information available to us it’s easy to be shaken in mind or troubled. When this happens, we can weigh what we hear, read, and listen to against what God is telling us. He will help us to be settled in our minds and beliefs.

What if your life was more about moving into the “who” with Jesus than it is about moving into the “what”? When we move into Jesus we are being called into a new balance, a new way of looking at things, and a new way of doing things. God uses our movement into Him to reset or rebalance our lives and point us back to our first love, Jesus. He is the who we should be pursuing the most. When we don’t pursue Jesus as our first love consistently the rest of our lives are off-balance. A balanced heart in God creates a balanced life!

What does it mean to unconditionally surrender to the Lord? When we are completely surrendered to the Lord we are yielding and relinquishing ourselves wholly to Him. We surrender our way of living and thinking so we can live in His. Unconditional surrender- sanctification- is a process of perpetual and continual surrender. He calls us into surrender to give us hope!

We are never going to feel our way into a new life. You have to make a decision, get new information from God, and start applying it and don't compromise. And when the enemy comes - say "I'm coming." You make the hit - don't take the hits. The enemy wants to shut us down so we don't release what God's put on the inside of us to impact the world around us. Transformation is about what you are moving towards not just what you are moving away from! Are you available for your mission? Wherever, Whenever and However? 1) Recruit - Pursue something new 2) Train - Receive new information 3) Equip - Apply new information 4) Send - Infiltrate with new information 5) Conquer - Enforce by influence 6) Occupy - Guard 7) Transformation

How do we disciple nations? It's about connecting to Jesus! Too often we think about changing culture by focusing on what we need to prevent from happening, instead of what we need to start happening. We have a laundry list of morality things we think if we stop all these bad things then we will become something. That's called "Religion." We will not become something by what we stop; we have to be born again! It's not about what we prevent, but rather what we initiate - be immersed INTO WHO HE IS! We can't make it without Jesus! God's making soldiers NOT attenders! Hear the truth!
What are you immersing yourself into? Are you all in? Are you continually immersing yourself in the "name" of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Are you more focused on what you are overwhelmed BY than you are Who you are immersed IN?
Immerse Yourself in HIM!
Names of the Father:
Lack - Jehovah-Jireh - The LORD who provides Sickness - Jehovah-Rapha - The LORD who heals Fear and anxiety - Jehovah-Shalom - The LORD is PEACE
Names of the Son: Sin - Jesus my Savior and my Redeemer Lonely - Jesus Immanuel - God with us Betrayal and deception - Jesus Faithful and True
Names of the Holy Spirit: Confusion - Guide Sadness or despair - Comforter Difficulty - Helper

BUT WHAT IF the greater influence is not what we stop, but instead it's what we start? How we view the world will greatly impact the way we influence the world. Are you ready to be challenged and take a look at Christian worldviews that are prevalent in church culture? Is God really in control of everything? Isn't He sovereign?

"The influence of the kingdom of heaven on the earth is greater than the influence of the opposition!" Do you believe it? Do you believe that what God is doing in the earth is greater than what the opposition is doing? The devil has no delegated authority in our lives. He only has permissible authority. Unless we allow and agree and deliver our authority to the devil - he has no right. He has tactics and strategies, but when we stand up in our Kingdom authority it stops him. We've got to exercise our authority. The presence of authority alone doesn't stop anything. It's authority that's exercised that stops things. Jesus didn't come to earth to gain authority for himself over death, hell and the grave. He came to get authority for us.
"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19 NASB

Our general mission in life is to influence culture with the kingdom of God. The way we do that as individuals is unique but the mission still remains the same. When we are influencing the world around us we are making disciples. We are ambassadors for Christ and we have a responsibility from God to bring His Kingdom and the reconciliation of Jesus to our people groups – nations – our walk with the Lord should reflect the responsibility that He has given us. We are called to be in the world – and our mountain of influence – not of the world. As the body of Christ, we should lead the world not avoid it!

Some of Jesus’ parting words to the disciples in Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” it is a call to a mission of obedience and authority. It is not arrogance to operate in the authority given to you by Jesus it is negligence not to! There will people along the way that will doubt you and the things that God has done, but the focus should be on individual obedience, not universal acceptance. When you live as a disciple you begin to influence and transform the culture around you. Live your life in such a way that it disciples those in your circle of influence!

We have to be connected to our true authority – God- to know the authority that has been delegated to us. Sometimes as believers we don’t walk in authority because we are waiting on God to do something that He has already delegated us to have the authority to do. God is the only one who can delegate His authority. His authority and His truth is never up for debate! SERMON NOTES: www.theroads.church/sermon-notes

Jesus came to the world with a mission. He was anointed to save the lost, preach the gospel, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, restore sight to the blind, and bring liberty to the oppressed. Just like Jesus we need to know our mission when we are engaged in a spiritual battle. When we know our mission and what we are anointed for we have something to offer those in need. You are anointed for the problems and issues that you encounter!

REMEMBER - the symbol of our faith IS the CROSS, and NOT a couch! Jesus said if you want to follow me - crucify yourself every day - BE A CHRISTIAN. Le'ts not focus on WHAT we go through but HOW we go through - as a good soldier. Embrace the resistance and opposition. A solder is TRAINED for the BATTLE - NOT for the BARRACKS. What God's grace has brought you through - gives you strength and authority in what's ahead. Stop trying to fit in Church. We are the body of Christ - who is the King of Kings!

SERMON NOTES: www.theroads.church/sermon-notes
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is redemption! We often make decisions and choices that fall short of God’s best for our lives, but He gave us the simple Gospel truths to redeem our hearts and the plans that He has for us. When we live these truths through our lives we get to show those around us the redemption that comes through the crucial Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Wherever we are in life or wherever the decisions we make take us, God will always repurpose us for Him. God’s gifts and calls for us are never cancelled! Jesus takes the gifts and callings that He has given us and repurposes and reprocesses them. He does not repurpose us just for Him but also for us to reach the people around us. We are not perfect people but God is constantly reprocessing our hearts for Him!

Jesus has made liberty available to us but there are times when we have to defend that liberty. We are not fighting to make available but fighting to defend what Jesus has made available! We should not be intimidated by the freedom of others – even though we may disagree - we should be empowered by it! All people have the choice to apply the liberty and freedom that has been given to us. We have a progression of application not progression of availability. Liberty is always available!

Jesus is the perfection of liberty. We are the progression of liberty. To progress in the liberty that has been given to us – through Jesus - we first have to define liberty, declare liberty, and defend liberty. It was made available when He died on the cross for us, but we have to take hold of it for ourselves. Jesus is the only one that can provide us with true freedom and liberty. The extent we’re connected to Jesus is the extent we will have liberty. Our freedom is not attached to our own independence but attached to our dependence on Jesus.

The culture of heaven is family. When we are born again we are invited into that family! We have Christ within us and when we view ourselves as sons and daughters of God He creates a healthy family – body of Christ – through us and with us. God longs to do thing through each of us! We need to view people as our brothers and sister through Christ not as sinners or we will never have system that values their reconciliation and redemption. Jesus did not come to just save sinners He came to reconcile lost children back to their heavenly Father! SERMON NOTES: www.theroads.church/sermon-notes

In Christ you are FREE, because He made you free. LIBERTY is available to every person no matter your race or gender - EVERYONE! It's available for you to take and apply. God gives us the ability to choose to apply His Liberty. You can't experience it, if you don't apply it. God loves you whether you embrace Him or reject Him. Our Liberty that God gave us - comes in connection and requires us to love and serve one another. Don't use your freedom in Christ to get out of "loving your neighbor as yourself." It's not how that works. LOVE needs to be in front of everything - our platform, our position our belief. LOVE COMES FIRST!

The truth brings us freedom. Lies and deception entangle us in bondage. When we stand fast, hold our ground, in the truth of God’s word, we have liberty. Jesus gives us liberty even when our circumstances look as if we don’t have personal freedom. Our hearts can live in liberty though we may not feel it. “Let me be clear, the Anointed One has set us free – not partially, but completely and wonderfully free! We must always cherish this truth and refuse to go back into the bondage of our past.” Galatians 5:1

Race, status, and gender are on the same playing field in Christ. They are all equal in opportunity and equal in need. We all need a Savior! Though we are all equal in Christ, oppression, and injustice still happen in our world today. We have to acknowledge the injustice that happens in our society even if we have not contributed to it. Racism and injustice cannot be in Christ.
“And we no longer see each other in our former state – Jew or non-Jew, rich or poor, male or female – because we’re all one through our union with Jesus Christ with no distinction between us.” Galatians 3:28.

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and WHERE the Spirit of the Lord is, THERE is LIBERTY.
When we are filled with Holy Spirit, we have liberty in our life. The Holy Spirit is not just with us, but in us - God dwelling on the inside of us. His presence in us - LIBERTY located in us - brings us freedom from addiction, breaks off chains and attitudes. When we are filled with Holy Spirit, and Living in Liberty, what we were once afraid of - we'll start preaching to!

As we live in unprecedented times of social distancing we are far more removed from people than we have been in the past. Though we are not able to gather together as a community God is still drawing near to us and moving in our world in a unique way. He has hit the pause button in our lives and invited us to lean in and draw close to Him again. We have more time to be engaged in His presence and hear from Him than ever before, all we have to do is accept the invitation that He has placed before us. God is not a socially distant God! He loves to draw near to our hearts and lives!

What is your focus on? Distraction from the promises of God and the places we are going can keep us from overcoming. If we focus on the promises of God above all else we can partake from His promises! What we focus on is what we partake from. When we know what God’s promises in our lives are we have to pursue them. When we reach our inheritance, promise, we have to possess it. The promises of God are given to us by His grace but possessed by our faith.

When we have the word of the Lord in our hearts we can speak with confidence that we will overcome! The opposition that we see may be great but He who is within us is greater. The word of the Lord helps us to have the spiritual stamina to endure the process of overcoming. We have to drive out the opposition with confrontation. We will never drive out what we will not confront! If the Lord is with us it is no longer a ‘maybe’, WE SHALL OVERCOME!

When we are faced with real-life hardships and circumstances we can choose to, passively accept a life that is less than what God has intended, or we can fight to overcome the opposition to live the best life God has for us! The process of overcoming evil – negative actions, thought patterns or negative things that have been said or done to us, etc. – with the goodness of God creates opposition. “Good” is not just an option for behavior but a weapon in your arsenal!

Why will we overcome? Caleb was certain that the one – God – who was WITH them could overcome. He was certain of the ability, the power, the might to endure and prevail that came from partnering with the Lord. The uncertainty of what was ahead of him was overcome by the certainty of Who was with him. When we are with God we are overcomers!

Overcoming Power- Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection was the opening of a door into the possibilities of walking into something the Father has prepared for us! God has prepared – through Jesus – a different life and inheritance for us. Just like the spies in Numbers 13, we have to see the inheritance and the different life or we will never know that there is a different way to live. When we see that God has a different life for us we still have to take possession of it and the promises He has for us. God requires a response to His direction to complete the overall process. The process of possession is in cooperation with God not independent of Him. To take possession we will have to overcome opposition. We are able to overcome opposition with God’s power that will endure and prevail! Will you choose to respond to God’s direction and overcome your opposition?

Some people see opposition, while some people see opportunity. Some people see problems while some people see possibilities. Caleb in Numbers 13 saw what everyone else saw, BUT he SAID something different than what everyone else said. Caleb’s words were not a REACTION to a circumstance around him but rather a REFLECTION of the belief that was within him! An Overcoming Spirit speaks from REVELATION not from OBSERVATION.
An Overcoming Spirit in the face of adversity allows us to: see THROUGH the spirit, believe IN the spirit, speak FROM the spirit, and FOLLOWS GOD FULLY. If you truly want to possess everything God has for you - you must follow Him fully.
Who is your leader? Who you are following determines where you're going to go. If you follow Jesus, He's going to bring you life and life more abundantly. Jesus said - "If anyone desires to come after me - let him DENY HIMSELF, and TAKE UP YOUR CROSS, and FOLLOW ME." Will you lay your life down for Jesus?

When the Israelites went to spy out the land – Numbers 13 – they were told to find out if the people there were strong or weak, if they dwelt in camps or strongholds, and check if the land was rich or poor. God never lied to them about who was inhabiting the land instead He said, “Be of good courage!” It was true that they could overcome the land and possess it – as God had already commanded – but the strength of the people, the citied they dwelt in, and the fruitful land was also true. They saw the fruitfulness of the land but were afraid of the people that dwelt there. What they believed about possessing the land was overcome by what they saw in the land. The presence of opposition does not negate the truth of what God has said! Are you hungrier for the life God has for you or are you more afraid of the opposition?

When we face adversity, we can respond in one of two ways, we can choose to be overwhelmed, or we can choose to overcome. To overcome we need courage! Courage means, to venture, withstand or persevere through danger, fear or difficulty. Courage is there but we’ve got to call upon and take hold of it. In the absence of danger, fear, and difficulty courage cannot exist. There is no need for courage without difficult circumstances to persevere through. When we are facing difficulties and circumstances that we have never seen before we are being set up for deliverance that we have never seen or experienced before! No matter what we are facing in life the deliverance from God will always outshine the difficulty! Will you choose to be overwhelmed or will you overcome?

The Peace of God - "Shalom" - in Hebrew means "destroy the authority attached to chaos." Paul Martini shares his life message from a place of believing the world's definition of peace (the absence of conflict) to knowing the power of God's peace. The peace of God is so powerful - it actually guards you. The Peace of God is not the absence of conflict, but rather it transcends and overcomes conflict. Peace should be a centrality of our life. It is the gospel message.

You have a gift of God. Paul reminds Timothy to stir up – re-kindle – the gift that God has placed in him. Just like Timothy you have the responsibility of stirring up your own gifts. When your gift is not being used there’s a gap that others could fall through. You fill a gap that no one else can. Which gap are you filling?

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝. You have the ability to make people around you feel whole rather than making holes in them. In other words. We have gifts from God that fill holes. We don't have all the same gifts, but rather our gifts are different able to fill specific vacancies. The gift of God in you was created for a purpose and a calling. How are you using those gifts to serve and meet the needs of others? Will you give yourself away and accept the call from God to use what He has given you?

I can punch my Bible time with Jesus real easy, but if we're just doing it in the form and function of it, then we're in a real good religion. Religion is form without power, and what I need, what the world needs - is the power from heaven so I can impact the world. Spending time in the presence with God takes the things I value and I attain to be and produces a core value in me that actually matches the high value of heaven. Are you just clocking in and clocking out with Jesus, or are you ENCOUNTERING HIM?

How are we going to experience everything God has for us? By faith! My faith doesn’t tell God what to do, it connects me to receive what He has already done. The manager at a grocery store doesn’t walk beside you and put the things you need in your cart. They have already made it available on the shelves and you have to put it in your cart. There might be things on the shelf that you choose not to get but that doesn’t mean they weren’t available. When we come to God He makes everything He has available but we have the choice by faith to determine what we pick up or receive.

Pray believing! Praying believing is not making things available to us that were not already there or persuading God to give us something. He has already made His promises available to us, all we have to do is receive them. When we pray it should first come from a place of faith from believing - firmly persuaded, believe to the extent of complete trust or reliance on – we often pray from the place of wanting but we often stop short of the position of believing. The only thing that will produce that kind of faith is the word of God. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. Sow – hear - God’s word in your heart until you come to a place of believing.

How often should we pray? Luke 18:1 “…men always ought to pray and not lose heart,” Pray always! It doesn’t mean praying all the time but praying on every occasion no matter how small. How long should we pray? The widow in Luke 18 continually came to the unjust judge until her goal - justice - was accomplished. Her request was not attached to a time frame, but it was attached to a goal. Our Heavenly Father treats us differently than the unjust judge - v. 6 -because He loves us. Keep continually coming to the Father in prayer!

In order for God to pour new things into our lives, we have to remain soft and flexible to expand our capacity. Is it possible that fasting keeps us soft and flexible for the new things God wants to pour into our lives? Matthew 9:17 says, “Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” Without keeping our hearts soft and flexible, we can’t contain the things God wants to pour into our lives. Fasting keeps our hearts ready to receive what God has for us!

Prayer and fasting is about breakthrough spiritually that could not otherwise. Jesus said prayer and fasting is necessary to get breakthrough in certain areas. Because of Christ we can come to Him boldly and confidently in our prayer and fasting. It is when we understand our identity in Christ and our rights as heirs of God, we can come boldly to His throne and pray persistently and believing. What greater things are you boldly approaching His throne and believing Him for in 2020?

The secret sauce of anything is that essential ingredient that makes something or someone successful. So what's the Secret Sauce of Christianity? Two main ingredients are prayer and fasting. Matthew 6 says, "When you pray..." and "When you fast..." God's Word not only tells us to pray and to fast, BUT it also tells us how to pray and fast. It must be that important to God - if He gives us instruction on how to do it. Are you ready to pursue more of God through prayer and fasting?

𝙎𝙀𝘾𝙍𝙀𝙏 𝙎𝘼𝙐𝘾𝙀 is that special thing that sets something apart from the rest, makes it distinctive and successful. So what does that look like in the life of a Christian? What can that look like in your life? Chad Everett, Lead Pastor of The Roads Church, teaches that our secret sauce is prayer and fasting. We hear a lot about prayer, but maybe not so much about fasting. In Matthew 6 it says, "when you pray," and "when you fast." It's a biblical principle for us to put into practice. What we do in secret, God rewards in public. It's our Devotion making Him the Direction in Discretion.

What are you catching for Christmas? God gave the gift of peace and goodwill TOWARD us, and it's up to us to catch it. If you're going to catch what God is tossing your way, you have to drop something in order to catch it. If you want to catch His peace - you've got to drop anxiety. You can't hold onto worry, stress and anxiety about a situation and catch peace in that same situation. We try to catch both of them, but we can't. God wants more for your life, but you've got to let go of what you're holding onto. Drop the things not from God and receive in your heart the implanted Word of God. Get into it and around it. It's contagious! Catch it!

Have you ever been in something you wish you could get out of? Sometimes the way IN is your way OUT. Maybe what you're going through, an employment situation or a relationship situation. Paul talks in Romans 1 about finding a way "in" the will of God. Sometimes we want to get out of His will because of a lack of trust that His way is going to work for us. But the will of God is actually good. Our Father is the best gift giver, and His will is good for us.

Do you have a will problem or a way problem? Sometimes we can’t experience God’s will because we haven’t been taught His way. God does not have a will that is inaccessible to us. The power of our will is not the issue if we do not know the right way. The good news is God has made a way and wants to teach us how to live in His way.

There are two ways we can decide to go, one leads to life and one leads to destruction and ruin. It’s easy to want the right destination, life, but sometimes it’s more difficult to make the right decision in the moment. We have the choice of which way we want to go. Are you choosing the way that leads to life? Or the way that leads to ruin and destruction? God wants us all to choose the way of life!

Does God have a will? Is His will for the world and our individual lives completely in His control, or is some of it dependent on us? God has a will that everyone be saved, but does He always get His way? God isn't willing that any should perish, but many are. How can many be perishing if that's not God's will? Where there's will of God, there's a way of God. Where there's a will of man, there's a way of man. God's way - Jesus - has to be found, and that's partly dependent on us.

Does God really have a will or a plan for our lives? Is He truly interested in what happens in our individual lives? Can we actually know His will for our lives? or is it just guess work? We're going to bust some myths about the will of God and what it looks like in our own lives, and what it looks like when we also have a will of our own. Jesus laid His will down and trusted His Father's will for His life - even the cross.

"Life and Death are in the power of the tongue." Proverbs 18:21 Robia Scott encourages us to wield our sword (the Word of God) that determines whether we reside in life or in death. Our lips, what comes out of our mouths can either snare our mind or guard our mind. Don't wait to see it to believe it. Believe it. Think it. Speak it. In order to see it. Speak His Word.

God is always calling us forward to a new season, and sometimes it requires a big step, sometimes small steps, sometimes it's scary, but He's always drawing us into what He has for us next. We sometimes listen to other voices about what God's calling us into. These are the voices that tell us - "you can't." When HE says, "yes," you can't listen to those voices that don't have authority over your life. What voices are you listening to? What's holding you back from what God is drawing you into?

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩? How many times have you looked at something that you felt you shouldn't be looking at? There are some things that we can see that we're not supposed to look at. Our Hope can be attached to and impacted by what we're looking at. The life of Abram teaches us three steps in walking in more Hope our your life: 1) Leave 2) Lift and 3) Look. Your hope matters based on how you look at things. Are you looking according to what you see, or are you looking according to what was said? What has God spoken about your situation?

Have you ever been stuck somewhere trying to get somewhere else, because something was preventing you from reaching where you really want to go? Our hopes can dry up around mountainous circumstances (our Harans) in our lives. Do you have hopes and dreams that have died in disappointment? In offense? In tragedy? We all have issues, disappointments or things that have happened to us, and if we aren't careful - that Haran - can be the place we stop and dwell and get stuck. The things we won't walk away from, cause us to stop short of where God wants us to go. Are you dwelling somewhere that you should have departed from?

We can have HOPE in our life if we settle on two things - believing that God's plan for me is always a future and a hope it will cause hope to arise in me no matter what my circumstances are because 1) God never changes and 2) He never lies, but always honors His Word. We are supposed to lay hold of the hope that is set before us - anticipating and expecting that what He said He will perform. It's available for you and me, but it you won't lay hold of it - you won't experience it. It is "this" hope that we have as an anchor. Our hope in our hearts has to be heavy to outweigh the confusion and doubts. Just having an anchor does not hold you. We have to set our hope on the right thing or it doesn't hold us. My hope is set in what He says and not on what my desires are. Even after you set your anchor - when conditions change, RESET YOUR ANCHOR. Get back in the Word again. Reset on what God's promised you, and say, "I'm believing what God says."

𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. No matter how good things are or bad things are in our life don't get tripped up in a moment, because life is a journey, not a moment. There will be times in life that we feel like hope isn't there, but God is with us on the journey and in the moments, and He's taking us from one place to another place. The presence of resistance and opposition in our life makes us stronger. In Christianity we sometimes think we need to stay away from problems and adversity and struggles, and really, God wants us to walk through it, because on the other side is the promise. When we live for Jesus it's going to cost us something. The symbol of Christianity is a cross not a crown. Sometimes we want to stop at the cross, when in fact we need to walk through the cross and experience Resurrection life on the other side. He's strengthening you through it all to obtain all He has for you in order to sustain it. It's all about who you are becoming!

𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲. Life is more of a journey than it is a destination. Journey is "the passing or travel from one place to another." God wants to take all of us on a journey from where we are to where He wants us to be. We can't get so discouraged and stuck in our moments and seasons - that we live in hopelessness. Moments and seasons will pass. God wants to stir up HOPE in our lives. Are you ready for the journey? Are you confident of better things ahead in your life?
What are you facing or surrounded by that seems BIGGER or impossible that requires supernatural intervention - a miracle? Are you willing to go FARTHER in your walk with God? Where is He stretching you beyond your comfort zone? How can you use your faith and patience to hold on LONGER to His promise? It's your choice - Jesus wants to do amazing things in your life, and sometimes we avoid it to stay comfortable. Start praying bigger, miraculous, unbelievable prayers.

How does God want to build the church BEYOND you? 1) BIGGER: God is bigger, and He wants us to think bigger. When we think bigger it creates an innate need for God in our life, and He's challenging our thinking! 2) FARTHER: God wants to stretch us beyond our limits, and beyond what's comfortable. and 3) LONGER: God wants to build staying power in us, so we are still burning long after the emotion, the hype and the event are over.

Building the Church is about building people. Church is NOT a place we go or attend - it's about who we become. It's who Jesus is building on the inside of us, and then it moves from just being about "in you" to being about "with you." It's partnership with God and people to build beyond just ourselves. We are FIT together, BUILT together and KNIT together. It's doing life together, because relationships make us stronger. It's how God is building His Kingdom.

You are the Church, and God wants to build the Church in You, with You and beyond You. What does it mean for God to build the Church "In" me? When God builds the Church "In" you - He's not building a building or an organization - but rather He's building each individual person in the body. There are many members with many functions a part of one body - the CREW and the CREW member. A strong crew member equals a strong crew, and a stronger crew can now make more and stronger crew members and on and on. You are valued. You have what others need inside of you. God wants to mature us so that we go from consumer to contributor with all of our abilities - who you are.
Do you know the value of your individual function? Are you building it? Do you know that who you are is more important that what you do? Are you building your spiritual abilities by overcoming resistance?

Are you available for God's use? Are you on the building crew? When we try to do something that God has for us to do - the enemy is always there with the same old strategy. He 1) Discourages 2) Distracts and 3) Deceives us to take us out. The story of Nehemiah and the tribes rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem show us how to keep building His church, and at the same time - fight against the strategies that cause us to quit. It takes all the people to build His Church, and God says each of us important. He sees you and knows your name.

The Roads Church was honored with Dr Randy Clark's message of exhortation. In this message, Dr Clark gives six keys to understand how to become who God says you are and walk out your prophetic destiny. Based on the story of Gideon found in the book of Judges - Dr Clark shows us the process that Gideon walked through from the call to humbly giving God all the glory for the victory in the end. God has a call, a plan, a destiny for you. Are you ready? There's a process to walk it out and discover all that God has for your life.

What kind of church does God want to build? He wants to build a church that is about building people! It's a church where everyone is using their ability to pour into people and connect people with Jesus. God isn't in the business of building bigger buildings or more campuses for the sake of bigger buildings and more campuses - He's in the business of building up people from the inside, and that's what The Roads Church is partnering with God on! The gifts and talents God has put on the inside of every person, is not for that person alone - it's about influencing the people around you in a way that lifts them from one place to a better place that is a forever, live-changing place with Jesus. It's time to CREW UP Church & make what's inside of you available to God to do with all that He has and will accomplish through each of us and together in unity, in one voice all about Jesus.

It's not just about your "Potential" but your "Potency." God has called us to be "Outspoken." He's put things inside of you that you need to speak up and out - it's time to use your voice. You have it in you to "Outperform" - when you join with God you have all you need to overcome and do things that you think are impossible. The Goliath you are dealing with - won't always be there, and you don't have to put up with it. You have the power to overcome your fears and obstacles. There is an "Outpouring" from your life when you partner with God and the purpose He's put inside of you. Be faithful with what you've been given, and where God has you right now, so He can develop you. Use what God has brought you through. God has given us the opportunity to change the world around us.

You have ABILITY (ischus) inside of you! It's actually God's own talents and ability that He's given you to do amazing things. Are you making them AVAILABLE for God to use? Or are you making excuses and hiding them? Don't let your excuses keep you from your ischuses! It's time to be part of the CREW and live a POTENT life that works to build SUSTAINABILITY. It's bigger than us!

Are you part of the Crew or the Crowd? God is building His Church individually (IN YOU), locally (WITH YOU) and corporately (BIGGER THAN YOU). What are you doing with what He's given you to do? Are you choosing to build the eternal things that are rewarded, or are you standing on the sidelines watching others build? The crowd is easy NOW - but there's no reward for being a part of the crowd - there's only regret for what you "should of," "could of." And if you're on the crew and the things He's asked you to carry seem too heavy - don't quit - they're making you stronger for what He has ahead for you to do.

There is so much more to us that we don't give God credit for. He's puts things inside of you that are specific, special, incredible and unique. You are created amazing. Greg Short looks at three "ins" that God has invested in you - "In-tuition," "In-stinct," and "In-genuity." They are for a God-given purpose.

Chris Pollard - Rock Youth Pastor, challenges us to consider "Joy," and understand that our salvation is the source of our Joy, and it is JOY that gives us strength. And it is with Contentment, Consistency, and Commitment in our relationship with God that is the key to making JOY stick in our life. There's no other JOY like it - you can't find it in a material or chemical fix. It's only a Jesus fix!

Jesus has some "things" He wants to tell us, but we can't understand them, grasp them or receive them on our own, in our own natural minds. It's why He sent Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit reveals and guides us into the truth that God has prepared for us, helping us receive for ourselves the "things" of God.

Holy Spirit wants to get with you! He doesn't want you to be a "Me" without a "He." A "Me" with a "He" makes the impossible - possible. Are you allowing Holy Spirit to be with you right now? Or are you just trying to figure it all out on your own? He has truths from Jesus that He wants to guide us into. There are lies that we embrace - some unintentionally, some cultural - and He wants to guide us out of those things that are holding us back and keeping us grounded, and He wants to guide us into higher truth that can bring us freedom - if we reach for the "HOWEVER" truth and embrace them for ourselves. God's wanting to break some lies off our lives, and guide us into the whole truth - the truth of Jesus.

What is the value of Holy Spirit in our everyday lives? The truth is Holy Spirit wants to be involved in every part of your life, and not just your church, reading your Bible life. Holy Spirit is our helper, sent to us by the Father to teach us all things and remind us of the things that help us in our everyday life. Our growth and development requires the teachings and reminding of Holy Spirit, and it's His job! So no stressing, but more praying and asking Holy Spirit in all areas of your life. Take Him with you wherever you go!

Holy Spirit is the agent of truth, and came to be a spokesperson of our Heavenly Father and his job is to promote the image of God. Often we reflect our image of our earthly father onto God, and make Him into someone He is not, and we even assume God believes things about ourselves, because of what we believe about ourselves. God is straight up crazy about you! He's all in. He's patient. He'll never give up on you. He's in the middle of what you're going through, and He wants you to know who He is and run towards Him. Get to know the Father.

God - guide us out of every lie and into THE truth. Chad Everett, Lead Pastor at The Roads Church - presents the "when," the "who," and the "why" to uncover the lies and reveal the truth about the Holy Spirit found in God's Word. 1) Pentecost - it's from God - it's NOT a denomination! 2) Promise - it's intended for YOU! & 3) Power - it's in YOU!
So many times the lie that it's OT or not for me - keeps us from living in all the power that God has for us. And the truth is - He wants us to change the world - and has given us a system - all in the Bible - that gives us the power to do it. Do we trust Jesus? We trust Him for Salvation. We trust Him for Heaven. BUT do we trust Him for His power?

You have the authority to become who God wants you to become - who He's called you to be. Holy Spirit wants to set us free from the lie - with the truth. But we have to grab the truth. We have to say, "It's mine." If we listen to the Holy Spirit - He will walk us right out of the lies we believe about ourselves, our circumstances, and He'll guide us toward the truth - into His Word. He will guide us into the person we're supposed to become.

God needs us to be giving mercy, even in a culture that says - "They get what they deserve." If we can't give mercy to others, it's something to consider - we can't give what we don't have. God is rich and mercy and doesn't hold back from giving us the mercy that we don't deserve - we need to live generously and offer mercy to others - even when we believe they don't deserve it. Mercy overlooks things, and it gives life and transforms marriages, families, workplaces, cities and nations.
We hope this message encourages you and connects you with Jesus.

Parenting is a process! And whether you are a parent in the natural or not - we all parent things in life - in the natural and the spiritual. The role of parenting is about creating and producing something and then growing and training it over time. We are all supposed to be growing, producing, and developing things in our life. What are you producing in your life?
We hope this message encourages you and connects you with Jesus.

Family is God's design. Married, single, divorced, remarried - whatever place you're in life - God has something to say to all of us about being a better person - making us a better spouse. In our relationship with Jesus, He has five characteristics, and because He has them for us, He wants us to turn around and have them for other people: Consolation, Comfort, Fellowship, Affection and Mercy. They are the characteristics we need to have in our relationship with our spouse.

We are all sons & daughters - in the natural and in God's family. The role of son or daughter is about dependency, and there are three stages of being a son or daughter - first you are a baby, then you grow into a child, until you are an adult. It's going from exposure to exercise to excelling in the things of God's household, His kingdom. Knowing who you are as a son or daughter of God - is knowing your identity.

As family grows and changes - our capacity to love grows. Family was God's idea, and He gives us the opportunity to choose to be a part of His family and open up our hearts to Him. Will you receive His love with your heart and become a son or daughter of God?

God doesn't ask us to know everything about Him in order to share His good news with others. He asks us to be a witness to what we see, hear and know about His goodness in our own lives. Let Holy Spirit touch your mouth spiritually and naturally for you to share Him with your friends, neighbors and co-workers. They need to hear what you know.

Are you feeding the fire of God, or have you let it go out? God wants to burn in you so others can see Him and He can speak to them. You are a fire starter! You are an igniter! Burn brightly for the whole world to see.
Visit our Website for more information on The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
He wants to provide LIGHT to give you DIRECTION and HEAT to give you VALUE. We carry fire with us everywhere we go - it's the power of God. When we get near people with the gospel of Jesus Christ - and they catch our fire - lives are changed from the inside out. Will you use your fire to provide DIRECTION AND VALUE to others? You are a fire starter, you are an initiator, you are an igniter! Go start a fire!
When we step out and we reach out and release the Kingdom of Heaven things happen. People are touched. The world is changed. Church - there is a call on each and everyone of us to take the hope of the Kingdom into every corner of society, into the culture - where you live, where you work - you have all the authority of heaven and Jesus is sending us out.
If we will trust God - His power is available and will be far above any temptation. If you'll put His Word in your heart - He'll change you. There is power in God's Word, and God wants to do an inside job, and when we we let His Word work on the inside of us - that power is what changes us. His power - it's a done deal! We have to stop asking God for it to work and start receiving what He already done for us, because what He's already done - is far above anything the enemy can ever throw at us.
God's power has no limits and no boundaries, and it's directed to us - the believer. He already has everything at our disposal - salvation, deliverance, healing. Too many times we are walking around trying to convince God that our need is worthy of His power to take care of a situation - when really - His power is already there and available - and He's like - pull on it - it's yours because you believe.
Today's the day for receiving your inheritance from your rich brother JESUS! Our inheritance is not found in the things we get out of God - it's God himself! It's the very essence of who He is - peace, love, joy, provider, healer - and the list goes on. And know this - not one person deserves it! But the reality of an inheritance is that the desire of the leaver trumps the deserving of the receiver. God's desire has left you everything that He has through Jesus! It's your move! You get to decide how much of what He's left for you - you grab hold of.
Have you ever felt like you've been beat on by circumstances and thoughts in your head - over and over again? If we're not careful - we'll lose hope and give up. God has a word for you - "Hope." When we lose His POWER - we lose our HOPE. Sometimes in life, we need a hope dealer to come along and encourage us to just keep showing up, moving forward and never quitting. Stay in the game, and connect to His power to find your hope.
Do you ever feel like you're just not enough? You give your heart and life to things and you feel like you're not enough? Be encouraged! We can't be distracted by the giants in the land! We must have a voice and heart like Caleb. We must come to a place that our weakness is a portal for God's strength to work in and through us for His promises to become more than evident in our lives. God's grace is sufficient and available for us as we go and work out our faith.
God wants you to be so close to Him, know Him so well and hear His voice in every moment that you experience His power in your life, in every situation, in your weakness, in your job, in your marriage, in your parenting. And when we live and move like that - in HIS power - others around us will see and experience Him in a way we can't imagine. When we are tight with Him - He gives us wisdom and reveals things to us, but it's when we are outside of His presence, outside of knowing Him that we experience a power outage.
Why is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Israel different from ALL other gods? He is ALIVE and He is POWERFUL! The gospel of Jesus is the power of God. God wants us to walk in His power, and not just get our salvation card, ignoring what is going on around us. God's power is our resource to live a life in union and harmony with Him and live as over-comers for His purpose.

Holy Spirit is so important that Jesus told His disciples it was better that He goes away so Holy Spirit can come. We are meant to walk full of Holy Spirit and overflow and that's how we can live the life God intended for us, then we can be about doing the "greater things." We weren't meant to get the heaven card and walk around powerless like the rest of the world - NO. We were meant to do this life with Holy Spirit. What's your overflow look like?

God is asking us to "look over" some things in the past and "stretch" forward for some things ahead. Join us at The Roads Church in Norris City as we press for more of God and "Reboot" in 2019.
"Walk in the Spirit and you won't fulfill the desires of the flesh" is easier said than done, but a REBOOT makes it easier. When we partner with God to reset our heart and mind, we can find a new pathway. When we shut down and power off old ways of responding we can restart anew with the best heaven has to offer.
Ask, Seek, KNOCK! That's the pattern. That's what Jesus. He told us how to approach Him in prayer. It's OK and expected to ask, seek AND knock. Desire His promises, devote your heart, and determine to be persistent. This is the final message in the series by Chad Everett.
ASK! Did you know that is what God wants us to do in prayer? Over and over throughout scripture, we discover how to partner with Heaven in our prayer life. Let's experience the fullness of the gifts that Jesus has for us. We have the opportunity to walk in the authority He gives us when it comes to asking, seeking and knocking. Experience The Gift That Keeps On Giving with Chad Everett.
In the gift of Jesus, we discover connection to God and a way to deal with sin. Jesus defeated sin and brings us from death to life in Christ. As believers, we can walk in the truth that where sin abounds, grace does much more abound. In this message from Chad Everett, we learn it has nothing to do with our goodness, but the abundance of God's love and the gift of Jesus. Receive that gift today!
We live generously-it's a core value at The Roads. Did you know that the world of the generous gets larger & larger? After this message, our world will explode for sure, Chad Everett concluded this series with a vision offering. The seed that you are sowing will become the bread that you are believing for in every area of life. Don't let the train pass you by-get on board. Live a lifestyle of extravagant living in every area. Freely we have received. Let’s freely give.
Are you living generously? If so, by this part of the series, your world should be getting larger and LARGER! Freely we have received and freely we give. A core value at The Roads is to bring our "A game" and to live generously. In doing so, people experience the extravagant love of the Father. Our generosity points people to Him. Let's give excessively of everything we possess...our money and time, our affection and talent. Laying up treasures in Heaven where rust and moth can't touch them is a great way to live generously.
The world of the generous gets larger and larger! In this third installment of Generous Living, discover how the firstfruits of the tithe belong to the Lord. We get the 90% and He gets the 10. We can have freedom, joy and generosity in giving and living generously....with all our time, talents and finances.
Dan Lord of Victory Church in St Louis joined us at The Roads to tell us how to LIVE WITH A WIDE OPEN HEART. The enemy comes to shrink us...our hearts, our lives, our impact. But God has big plans for you. Don't doubt what God's word says. Live a big, wide open life full of promise. Jesus provides the way to a big life. Look to the bible and walk by faith to discover how to live with a wide open heart.
Did you know the world of the generous gets larger and larger, while the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller? It's true! In this series by Chad Everett, you'll find that generous living isn't just about finances but being generous with all your talents & resources. Experience God's word in this message, and you'll find the one who blesses others is abundantly blessed. Those who help others are helped. That's a core value of The Roads Church and a key to generous living.
God is inviting us to live generously in all areas of our life. Giving freely from all of our resources sacrificially and abundantly is a great way to bless others and find abundant life in Christ. Taking our eyes off ourselves and seeing the big picture is our responsibility as believers in Jesus.
Society and popular culture would have us believe that being alone, having superhero strength and needing no one is the way to live. That is not God's intention for humanity. Jesus connects us to heaven AND to each other. Loving one another is the real deal. To live in God's best, we must stretch our love to each other in order to experience kingdom living at its best.
Taking a look at the life of Joseph brings us from the promise, the pit, Potiphar, prison and then finally the palace. In the process, we must guard what is IN us and not let what happens TO us define us. Like Jospeh, we must focus on what God puts on the inside of us and live everyday from that reality.
Explore this timeless story from the fresh lens of Chad Everett. In this final message from the YOUR STORY series, consider a few questions....are you trying to decide how to use what God has given you without His guidance? Or living an inferior life that is less than what God intended? Maybe joined yourself to wrong things? Reached rock bottom? Or just forgotten who you are AND Whose you are? Get up from where you are and come to the Father. He’s waiting with open arms for you!
God has been in the business of opening blind eyes for a long time. Looking back to John 9, we find the man born blind. Chad Everett explains the difference between knowledge and revelation, and asks us to consider how we can be blinded. Jesus wants to encounter dark areas, bring freedom & wants us all to discover the difference between light and darkness in everyday life. What's YOUR story?
What is your story? Guess what? The final chapter has not been written. Did you know you are not defined by what you have done? You can walk away from past hurts disappointments into a new life with Jesus. That's what happened to the woman at the well, and it can happen for you. Discover what it means to let Jesus uncover and restore His best plans for your life in this encouraging message by Chad Everett.
Are you on an up? Are you on a down? Have you bailed on Jesus? Guess who else did? Peter. He was one of the very best friends of Jesus, and he had some major ups and downs. He walked on water, chopped off an ear, and managed to deny Christ. Maybe you aren't so crazy after all. Maybe you just need to keep following Jesus, no matter what. Check out this sermon by Pastor Chad Everett to discover how Peter experienced victory and defeat, and how we can encounter Jesus in our own ups and downs of everyday life.
Did you know you can come to Jesus in a mess, broken, crazed and in chains? And He can set you free? That's what happened with a man named Legion. You can find his story beginning in Luke 8:26. Where does your story begin? With disappointment? Loss? Failure? It doesn't matter, Jesus will pursue you and wants to encounter you in a big way. Discover that you don't have to be defined by your sins. Find your story can change forever in this practical message by Chad Everett
There is a real world with real stories. Not all of them are clean and shiny and happen in a church.
Your story is so much more than a moment, an event, a circumstance, or a perfectly staged selfie. Maybe what you are doing now is not really who you are? In this first installment of "Your Story-More Than A Post", we take a look at Rahab. A harlot? A hero of faith? Check out this message and see what it looks like to not be defined by who you are but convinced of better things ahead. No matter where you are in life, you have a story, and it can be better than you ever imagined through Jesus Christ. Just ask our friend, Benjamin Bolin, as he shares his story in a short video testimony.
What's YOUR story?
The final installment by Chad Everett of "Holy Spirit: A Difference Maker" This series takes us through the bible with solid scriptures to reinforce why we need this power in our lives. Receiving the Holy Spirit is as simple as receiving Jesus at salvation. God's design is for us to walk in these mysteries, this power and this revelation. Discover how exciting and truly life changing it can be when the Holy Spirit breathes into our lives and we experience the benefits in everyday living.
Waiting for the “A-Ha!”, the “I Have Arrived”, the “I Did The Thing” moments of life? Promise Bradley tells us they are few and far between. In this real world message, uncover the truth about transitions, seasons & the journey along the way. Its not about arriving, its about trusting the Great Shepherd in the face of disappointment, grief and hard times. We are created for transition and we go from glory to glory when we fix our eyes on Jesus.
God wants to make sure His people are full of hope. In every season of life, during the lows & the transitions, Jesus is the way maker. He wants to touch your dreams & the dead places in your life with His power. Any area of our lives that is not glistening with hope is under the influence of a lie. Pull down the strongholds by the word of God and watch hope arise in your life.
At Life Impact International, our vision is to impact our world, one life at a time with the love and power of Jesus Christ!
Hear this powerful, prophetic message from Lana Vasques as she and her team display love through practical humanitarian aid services such as children’s homes for children at risk, starting and supporting orphanages and hostels, feeding programs for the poor, relief and development works, and helping the hurting within the social context of the culture and country (i.e. the oppressed women and children of Pakistan, the refugees and displaced peoples along the Thailand/Burma border, and the oppressed people inside Burma).
We believe that by demonstrating love, people will be open to the power of Jesus Christ, which is the second arm of the ministry. The Roads Church is a long-time supporter of this amazing outreach.
Holy Spirit...a different LANGUAGE. The promise of Holy Spirit by Jesus is a promise of power you can see AND hear. Demonstrations of speaking in tongues might seem weird, but it is explained in the Bible and unpacked in this message by Chad Everett. The heavenly language between God and man builds our faith & downloads mysteries. Get charged up to pray in power. Holy Spirit changes our language and makes a difference in everyday life.
Did you know there are different kinds of baptism? And they are documented in all four of the gospels? Take a look at what Jesus says in the Bible. Look past denominations and differences. Find out the process and the power in this message by Chad Everett.
Pastor John B. Lowe from Warsaw, Indiana, an overseer and friend for The Roads Church visits us with this challenging message. Acts 24. How we deal with offense is the key to freedom. Don't let unforgiveness hold you captive! Find freedom in this tremendous message.
When we are born again and enter into a relationship with Jesus, we are no longer limited to what we can do. With the power of the Holy Spirit and the promises of God's word, we can live a life beyond our limits and experience what it means to walk in God's plans, purposes and power. Go beyond your limits in this exciting message with Youth Pastor of The Roads Church, Chris Pollard
The process of following changes us. The pursuit of Jesus challenges us. The Holy Spirit makes a difference in our priorities, and when God calls us, we can drop our "nets" of what is comfortable and familiar. A spirit led life calls us to leave old things behind and embrace new paths that lead to powerful priorities.
The Holy Spirit is a great teacher. By learning how to frame the world with our words, we can walk in greater understanding of God's plan for our lives. The Holy Spirit is a gentle, loving teacher who shows us there is a difference between conviction and condemnation. In this series you will discover the righteousness & authority we have in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The beginning of a new series (and a new haircut!) Holy Spirit: A Difference Maker takes a look at how Holy Spirit will make a difference in your position, your power AND your patience. God has a kingdom purpose attached to you, and the power of this difference maker makes all the difference.
In this 5 part benchmark series, this is final message. This is the recap of the navigational route of Crossroads Bible Church to The Roads Church. In all of our lives, we are assigned to connect people with Jesus. We have the ministry of reconciliation and live a legacy of faith. Being developed as leaders and impacting culture will forever change the game in individual lives and beyond.
The "Game Changer" became the "name changer" in this benchmark message. Chad Everett reflects on the history, the word of God & the specific prophetic instructions to this body of believers over the years. The legacy of faith was mapped out in this historic message. Going forward, Crossroads will now be called "The Roads Church". Our assignment is to connect people, develop leaders & impact culture in this region and beyond. "Connecting people with Jesus from all roads of life” is the navigational route of The Roads. Join us as we journey together.
Game Changers overcome fear by focusing on favor. They believe more than what they see with their natural eyes. They dwell in expectancy. They remember where they came from and focus on the power of God instead of their own ability. In this second chapter of the Game Changer saga, Pastor Chad Everett reminds us that who we are is more important than who we were, and how important it is to partner with God to accomplish the impossible.
What is a "game changer"? It's something that shifts the way of thinking and doing. Keys to being a game changer include clarity, creativity & constancy. Pastor Chad Everett encourages us to know our purpose, our "why", and change the game for the kingdom of God in every area of life.
Check Your Receiver! In this final message of the 5 part series, we are checking to make sure our "receiver" is turned on! God is transmitting His signals to us. Jesus finished his work on the cross and it it up to us to make sure we know of His great love for us. Just receive everything He intends for us. It truly is finished, and we can walk as sons and daughters knowing that God really loves us.
It Is Finished! Taste for Yourself! In part 4 of this service, Pastor Chad Everett unpacks the fact that Jesus prepared EVERYTHING we could ever need with His own redemption and grace. There are rewards and promises prepared for us, we just have to receive and take action for that encounter to happen. Just one example is how we use a gift card. As heirs of the promise, we get to taste the benefits when we walk with Jesus and show up for the encounter.
Youth Pastor Chris Pollard picks up where Chad left off! With signature humor and enthusiasm, listen as we learn to raise our expectations. Jesus set the standard in His love for us on the cross. Sometimes we live far beneath the plans and purposes that God has for us. Live in anticipation of great things. Don't be limited by your current conditions. God wants us to raise our expectations. Embrace the higher reality of what Jesus died to give us.
In this second part of the “It Is Finished” series, discover there are 3 things about your “it”. Guess what? It's as simple as ABC….A-agreeable B-bigger C-costly. Trust Him with your “it” to accomplish your purpose. No matter how impossible it seems, lean into dependence and trust in God.
The beginning of the "It Is Finished" series by Pastor Chad Everett is also the beginning of our livestream for Sunday morning services.
Launching on Easter of 2018, this sermon explores why we procrastinate & how to finish strong in the race set before us. Jesus set the example with a strong "why", and His three "E's" are Entry, Endurance and Ending. Finish strong for the Father is on your side!
In this final message of the Recalibrate series, learn how leaven can affect your life. Maintaining the standards, recognizing the difference and being aware of conformity in our everyday life means letting God's patterns permeate everything we do. Be aware of what rises in difficult situations and exchange lies for kingdom thinking when the heat is on.
Blake Bradley says that once upon a time, he was "ornery"--and that Jesus came after him anyway! We will take his word for it! Throughout the bible, you'll find Jesus--right in the middle of wayward ways, reconciling humanity unto Himself. Jesus truly is a friend of all sinners, pursuing them, dining with them, being a friend. Discover friendship with divine intentions. God is not far off. He wants to be your friend.
In this next-to-last-but-certainly-not-least message, Chad Everett encourages us to take every thought captive. We must determine where these thoughts in our head originate. Apply the standard according to God's word, and discover the freedom that Heaven intends us to have here on earth.
Soooo....what IS Heaven like? Don't assume Promise Bradley is talking pearly gates, streets of gold, and all that stuff. Heaven is in us. God wants to partner with us to bring heaven to earth. We carry with us the culture of heaven, everywhere we go. Heaven is more than a place we go when we die. It is expressed within us as believers on the earth.
If God says to go, then GO. Sometimes we travel light. Sometimes we pack up everything. Unpack this encouraging message by Dr. Jeff Burrell & discover that God has invested His resources in His followers. We are equipped to set the captives free. We are chosen. We have power from on high. Go! Do what God called you to do! Stop waiting, stop making excuses because YOU CAN'T LOSE WITH THE STUFF I USE.
Breaking unhealthy patterns in our life is something that Jesus wants to help us with by the power of the Holy Spirit. Learn how to set new patterns and break free of the problems of our culture and the world. If you want to fix the problem, fix the pattern & conform yourself to God's ways. Sermon by Crossroads Youth Pastor Chris Pollard.
"On earth as it is in heaven" was a prayer from Jesus a long time ago, but it is still the intention of God's heart for today. A recalibrated mind is the path for God to impact those around us with His love and power. Look at the example, the experience and the exchange that Jesus died to give us...that we can still experience the heart of Heaven for all humanity.
The mind is the gateway for the kingdom of Heaven to come to earth. Without a renewed mind, we cannot experience God's full intentions. Our mind is a powerful part of operating in everything that Jesus wants us to experience. Discover the example, the experience AND the exchange that comes from applying the truth of the Bible to our lives. Let's choose to recalibrate our minds so we walk in the truth that we are made in His image and likeness.
Let's make sure what we say about ourselves, others, and life in general is in line with the standards of the Bible. Pastor Chad Everett shares what Jesus, Jeremiah & James have to say about what we say. The standard of God's word tells us how our words shape our world. Want to live a better life? Let's speak better words and RECALIBRATE our mouth according to the promises of God.
The EYES are the focus of this 3rd installment of RECALIBRATE. Crashing around in the dark is a drag. Step into lighter living by examining areas of our lives that might be darkened, damaged or distracted. Conform to God's highest intentions to experience your best life. Live by the standards of heaven and recalibrate your focus in this series by Pastor Chad Everett.
Let's dive deep into fine tuning what RECALIBRATION really means. We are taking a look at how we hear. What voices are speaking to us? What voices do we entertain? How do we listen to God's voice above all the noise? Listen to discover how to RECALIBRATE your listening to the frequencies that come from the Father. Prepare for the journey. God wants to go with YOU!
Regular maintenance keeps things running efficiently. RECALIBRATE is the baseline for optimum performance in every area of life. When your heart is aligned to God's specifications, rest assured He travels with you. Conform to His standards. Make adjustments. Take measurements. It's all part of the process. Is God’s Word your standard, or is it what you think or feel? Check your alignment and examine yourself. Discover RECALIBRATE.
What does God want us to want? And what does He want us to leave behind? Wrapping up RESOLUTE with this message from Chad Everett leaves us longing to go 'all in' and walk out the powerful truth of saying YES to God and His best for our lives. Burn your boats, barbecue your ox, and jump in to an amazing life in Christ.
Christianity is different from other religions in that God is trying to reach his followers, not vice versa. He sent his son Jesus to connect with all humanity. At Christmas, we celebrate by giving gifts. Discover Jesus, the greatest gift ever. Find out what it means to unwrap God's best for your life, not just at Christmas, but the whole year through.
RESOLUTE: "Marked by firm determination, bold & steady" Find out what this looked like in Ruth, and what it looks like for us today. Pastor Chad Everett challenges us to ask God these 2 questions: "What do you want me to want?" AND "What do you want me to leave behind?" Moving into God's best for our lives means becoming RESOLUTE. Discover how in this dynamic message.
Trusting God is a deliberate decision we make everyday. Trust is an attitude. Experience a new level of trust by discovering what God's word has to say. Chris Pollard, Youth Pastor at Crossroads Bible Church, shares personal challenges & victories in this encouraging message.
The 7th and final in the series of Inside Out Living. Like a seed, what is ALREADY in you is EVERYTHING you need for every situation & circumstance that life throws at you. Just break forth into the power of God on the inside of you by the power of Jesus & enjoy freedom!
Being internally defined by Jesus brings strength & stability to every area of life. Walking by what God has deposited on the inside of us at salvation is the only way to live an overcoming life. Everything we need is on the inside of us. God already prepared it for us as His sons & daughters, we just have to partake. Sow the good seed of the word in your heart & watch change happen from the inside out. Dig in to part 6 & grow up in the understanding of your inner & outer man.
Part FIVE of what it looks like to live from the inside-out. Beyond the importance of being a believer, there is more to growing up & bringing the intentions of heaven to earth. Let's grow up together as a people living in the freedom Jesus intends for us. Listen to find out how to live a better life on earth by using what God has made available to us.
Even though we are conditioned to believe our 5 senses, our outer man is not qualified to validate inner man truths. Tap into the inner truth, for the inner man power of Jesus is the solution for all of our outer man problems. Listen to hear how the hope on the inside outweighs the afflictions on the outside as we continue this powerful series.
Your outward self & your inner self are two different things. Don't be fooled into using your five senses to prove your inward man is being renewed. It's a supernatural truth whether your senses recognize it or not. It's time to kick out wrong thinking that says your outward is perishing and your inward self isn't being renewed. That's a LIE! Apply God's truth to turn feeling into believing.
Today your inner man is what God wants to draw on to change you from the inside out. When we ask God about our feelings, instead of just trying to work them out for ourselves - we realize there are things that God never intended us to feel. Be hooked on what God says about you! Jesus' words are life to you. When we have God on the inside, what's on the outside - doesn't stand a chance!
Pastor Chad Everett, in his series, "Inside-Out Living," reminds us that God has created us to live from the inside out. Too many times we are bombarded with too many pressures on the outside, and we assume the solutions also come from the outside and that if we'll get some external relief, we'll feel better. God doesn't want us to live that way. God doesn't want us to live a reactive life, but wants us to live a pro-active life. God doesn't want us to live waiting to change on the outside before we make some changes on the inside. God wants the change on the inside to be our change on the outside.
God has given you grace - the means, the opportunity and legal power - everything you need to accomplish your purpose. Your accomplishments in the earth are to gain a platform of influence for your real purpose and that is to impact people's lives for the kingdom of God. Jesus held nothing back when He gave you everything you needed.
Another exciting week in the series "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" Pastor Chad Everett focuses on two questions in light of finding purpose and fulfillment in your life - 1) Where do I fit? and 2) What is my function? Remembering that your purpose is not what you do, but who you become - God has a place and function for you to fit and it's unique and valuable.
We continue to pursue our purpose and ask the question - "Why Am I Here?" in Part 8 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" Everything we are doing in life - we all have the same general assignment from God - to open people's eyes and turn them from light to darkness, and from the power of Satan to the power of God. God gives us everything we need to do what He's assigned us to do. He's given each one of us gifts, and He's proud of the gifts He's given you. How are you managing the gifts He's given you?
Pastor Chad Everett gets real and personal in Part 7 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" And gives us the big picture when it comes to our purpose as sons and daughters of God, and standing firmly planted as our purpose is tested and opposed.
Your purpose is NOT a singular event, job or assignment. It's NOT a singular thing that you DO. If our purpose is something we do - we'll look at our value based on our success. Pastor Chad Everett challenges us in "Who Am I & Why Am I Here? Part 6 - that our purpose is about the someone we become, and not on what we do!
Sometimes in life we can be barricaded in by a lie that we're believing. In Part 5 of Pastor Chad Everett's sermon - "Who Am I & Why Am I Here" - we'll learn how to pass the "familiarity test" and remove the barriers and limitations put into our lives that God didn't intent for us to have. We can all suffer from familiarity blindness. We just can't keep it from holding us back from stepping into "Who" we are!
You are unique! In Part 4 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" we're going to discover how to pass the comparison test. There are over 7 billion people on the earth today, and you're not just unique among them - you're unique among every single other human being that's ever been or ever will be created. There has never been your combination of DNA ever! Don't waste that one thing that makes you unique - while trying to be like someone else.
If we're going to know who we are in Christ, we're going to have to pass the Popularity Test! People are shielded from freedom because of fear and worry about what other people think about them. Where do you get your approval from? Another person? Does it really matter what people think about you? It's time to come into agreement with what the Father says about you!
If someone were to ask you - "What is Crossroads about?" Would you know what to say? Pastor Chad Everett continues with Part 2 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" and focuses on the vision of Crossroads, and breaks it down into two simple words - "Who" & "Why." We are all about helping people find out who (identity) they are in Christ, and why (purpose) they were born.
Most problems in people's lives can be boiled down to two issues - not knowing who they are and not knowing why they are. In Pastor Chad Everett's sermon, "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" he begins to share the importance of vision for every person's life. The "Who you really are," can only be found in your vertical relationship with God. The "Why you are," is found in our horizontal relationship with people. Answering these questions, are essential to finding fulfillment in your life!
What isn't measuring up in your life? Chris Pollard, Youth Pastor, encourages us through his sermon, "When It Doesn't Measure Up," as he explores the story of Hannah. Persistence is a key value in life. It's the key to unlocking God's promises. Go for that thing you're believing God for. #ItsGoingToHappen
You get one shot. Don't be a sideliner just sitting and watching life go by. Get in the game. Embrace life. Your life is supremely valuable, and meant to glorify God and delight in Him forever. It does require a posture of surrender. Trust Him! He will make your path straight. #icandothat
In Blake Bradley's "The Mind of Christ Part 2," he encourages us that when life gets tough and hard, we can start to blame God and believe a lie about the character and nature of God - BUT He's a good dad, and He's with us in and through the waiting and the pressing, as we put on the mind of Christ.
The final sermon in the series, "Fixer Upper," Pastor Chad Everett talks about two final gates, each with its own application. The East Gate -where Jesus will return - is all about finishing strong, and The Inspection Gate is when Jesus will gather all believers and reward each one for doing what God has asked them to do in this life. Jesus is REAL, and He's REALLY coming back. Be ready!
When God asks us to do something, obstacles & opposition still come, as the enemy operates to steal from us - the mind starts swirling. It doesn't mean we've missed God. We have a part in what God has asked us to do through making choices and walking out in faith through the duration until it comes to past. It is through God's Word & His Presence that our minds are renewed to that of Christ.
Our walk with God requires continual growth, and God knows there's going to be opposition to our growth. In Pastor Chad Everett's sermon "Fixer Upper Part 8" - he explores the Water Gate and the Horse Gate in Nehemiah 3 to discover how God gave us ways to successfully grow in Him and how to fight for Him. Getting born again is just the beginning - then it's about understanding everything Jesus did for us on the cross. God wants us to keep developing.
Dehydration is a tough physical condition. Did you know that when you give out and give out and not take in more than you give - you can become spiritually dehydrated? God wants us to stay hydrated, and He gave us a solution. Pastor Chad Everett continues in Nehemiah 3 in his "Fixer Upper" series and introduces us to the Fountain Gate - where we can hydrate.
Promise Bradley poses the question: Is God disappointed in me? It's a question that keeps many people away from turning to Him in the first place, and from receiving the free gift of salvation. It's a question that keeps a lot of Christians from living up to who God has created them to be. It's O.K. to ask God questions - even tough ones - they lead to awesome truths.
Pastor Chad Everett continues to examine the Old Gate, the Valley Gate and the Refuse Gate of Jerusalem's city wall that Nehemiah rebuilt. God designed each gate with a powerful relevance - even for today - for your walk with Jesus.
Pastor Chad Everett takes us through Nehemiah 3, as he continues the sermon series "Fixer Upper," and outlines the three P's of rebuilding: Pattern, People and Places. We are all rebuilding in some area in our lives. In this sermon, you will be challenged to follow Jesus to the "Fish Gate" after you've gone through the "Sheep Gate." Jesus said, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Life is about OTHERS! Let's do life together, and reach and invite and build His Kingdom.
As God directed Nehemiah on how to rebuild a wall - it applies to us - whether it's a mindset, attitude, relationships or finances - whatever it may be - God gives direction and a system to help us rebuild areas of our lives.
"I looked like I was winning on the outside, but really it wasn't winning at all." Amanda Allen shares her powerful testimony of a life filled with lies and how those lies became rooted in her life, driving her to what most people thought - looked like she was winning, but really she was dying inside. What circumstances in your life do you need healing, freedom and restoration in? Marriage? Parenting? Finances? Friendships?
When God gives us vision or direction to build - He doesn't send us without what we need. From the story of Nehemiah seeking the king for permission, power, provision and protection to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem - we can understand it's an example as sons and daughters of how God provides for us as we rebuild areas of our lives that are worn down and in ruins. You're not alone in your Fixer Upper. We trust you God with our rebuilding project.
Sometimes if you're going to build on to something - you've got to demo something first. There are some ways we think that we need to emo so that when we build on - we build on in a right place, with the right relationship, using the right materials and the right method. Do you have the guts to take on a fixer upper? Are you ready for some demo?
Aren't we all a "Fixer Upper" project? None of us has arrived. We're all still in the process of growing into what God has for us and become everything He wants us to become. In this series, Pastor Chad Everett will use the story of Nehemiah as we explore how to strengthen and build areas of our lives that have fallen into ruins or need to be fortified.
Pastor Chad Everett continues his series "Free of Charge: Paid In Full" with Part 2 ...BUT because of Him! Jesus doesn't just want to get an invitation to come to your house - He wants to stand in the middle of your situation and bring peace to it. He wants to heal your wound, and use your scar as a testimony for someone else's healing. Are you ready to open the door?
When you invite Jesus into your house, into your life, into your situation - something changes! Jesus wants to go to YOUR house. God wants to touch your life, and all those who you are connected with and demonstrate His love - through forgiveness and peace. Jesus wants you to reach out and touch Him, and invite Him into YOUR house.
We are building HIS kingdom, and IT'S bigger than us! Pastor Chad Everett takes us through the steps to life in the kingdom and partnering with God to build HIS kingdom.
"Pitch Your Wings" by Greg Short - is all about God wanting to pour out His spirit and increase to give and empower us as we change our lives and go from the place we are - to a new place of God's purpose HE has for each of us.
One of Crossroads' house core value's is: "We Pursue Our Green." It's about living from and for HIS purpose. God's an each one God! He gifts specifically and then asks us to work together corporately. There's a need in the world for what you're passionate about. Find the need that God has given you to meet. #corestrength
Pastor Chris Pollard challenges us in his sermon, "The Process of Bearing More Fruit." What vine are you connected to? The life-giving vine that produces more fruit? Have you asked God to prune you? It's the process that leads to results, the preparation that leads to promotion, the position that leads to production and the progress that leads to completion, and God is glorified when we bear more fruit.
Honor, Freedom & Integrity - Pastor Chad Everett covers these topics straight from the Bible in Part 8 of his "Core Strength" series. We want to encourage you, as you listen and work through this series - the desire and goal is for you to know who you are, what Jesus died to give you and then become everything He created you to be.
You get a two-for-one in Pastor Chad Everett's message - "Core Strength Part 7 - We Go Low & Grow!" Sometimes we need to understand the power of humility and the power of teach-ability! These are kingdom values.
Pastor Brian Gibson of River City Church in Owensboro, KY - brings the truth about The House of God to Crossroads Bible Church! The House of God - Gate of Heaven is the place of HIS presence, HIS Word, generational connections, consecration and honor.
Nathan Coston begins a 4-week series on Love & Marriage - with "Going Yard with Love & Marriage."
Pastor Chad Everett continues his "Core Strength" series with Part 6 - "We Take Nothing For Granted!" We are building a culture of appreciation in the house. If we can appreciate where we are and where we've been - then it will be fuel for us to go forward in the future. God show us what we take for granted!
Pastor Chad Everett knocks it out of the park in his message "Core Strength - We Bring Our "A" Game." Here's the deal - excellence requires effort, and that effort should be internally motivated by desiring to please God - not man. Excellence is a reflection of God- we've got to bring our best!
LIVE GENEROUSLY! God doesn't just want things from us - He wants to get something to us and through us. Money is the test...if we won't be faithful with money we are not able to be faithful in things bigger than money. If we only focus on the command, we will only consider the cost and sacrifice instead of the blessing that's attached to it. We have to freely receive, so that we have something to generously give.
In God's Kingdom, vulnerability is not weakness that leads to disconnection, but rather courage that empowers our connections. Authentic relationships make us stronger. Don't let fear or shame disconnect you from God or His church.
In Pastor Chad Everett's series - "Core Strength," Crossroads Bible Church begins a journey through discovering our core values as the body of Christ. From creating a "Kingdom Culture" within the Church, we will see our purpose, the One who our faith lies in and the fundamental core strengths that create our relationship with Jesus.
Pastor Chad Everett launches Crossroads into 2017 with new hope and motivation to do more. Through fasting and prayer as one, we become united and ready for what God has in store for this new beginning.
Leading into and following the presidential election held on November 8, 2016, Pastor Chad Everett addresses the state of our nation, and the unchanging principles of God and the commission of the Church through it all, in his four part series - “One Nation. Under God.” He explores our nation’s rich, Godly, biblical history in the very founding of our nation and government. This is timely and timeless, as the Church takes a stand in God’s principles, making disciples of ALL nations and pursuing unity in what we can agree on - as opposed to divisiveness in what we don’t agree on.
