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 t

“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

We have been JUSTIFIED through Jesus and have PEACE with God. "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," Don't forget - We have ACCESS through JESUS! A backstage pass. A life not available to us without Jesus. "through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Through FAITH by GRACE in which we STAND! Romans 5 : 1 - 5 NKJV 1 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.

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 NKJV 1 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 - 18 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be

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 f

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." PHILIPPIANS 2:5-8 "For I am not ashamed

"I'm 'scoping' Jesus, because I've got a race to run! Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. We lack endurance, because we're not keeping our eyes on Jesus as the "Finisher." Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV 1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Philippians 1:6 NKJV 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49030241 Website: https://theroads.church

DO YOU NOT KNOW? Your life doesn't belong to you. You were bought at a price. Your life cost Jesus His life. He paid the debt that you were never able to repay. Your body is a temple of Holy Spirit. You are joined to the VINE - IF you abide in Jesus! "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? 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 bra

What wouldn’t you do to GET TO JESUS? Guest speaker Matt Woodruff shares his story of addiction, redemption, and the freedom that comes from Jesus Christ ALONE. "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) "I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty."

"I have something you can't take from me. I have something that endures forever." -Pastor Chad Everett We 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/49016749 MAIN 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.

If Christ fasted, should Christians fast?

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?

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

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?

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/48994115 We invite you to explore our Podcast for more teachings, visit our website and come join us for one of our services.

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.
