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 involv

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

“If God was that right about this part… shouldn’t we trust Him with the rest?” — Chad Everett Palm 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 deception Anchor your life in the Word of God Recognize Jesus for who He truly is - the Lamb sent by the Father Live ready for the end If God was exact about Jesus’ first coming, we can trust Him completely with what is still to com

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 c

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. Hono

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 G

“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 Sp

In this powerful message from 1 Samuel 17, Promise Bradley calls the Church to remember the cause. Preaching from the story of David and Goliath, she asks the same question David asked on the battlefield: “Is there not a cause?” In a world filled with distraction, lesser causes, political noise, personal offense, and endless entertainment, it’s easy to lose sight of why we are here. But Scripture reminds us that we have been given the ministry of reconciliation. We are ambassadors for Christ. Through 2 Corinthians 5: 14–20, Ephesians 6, and 1 Samuel 17, Promise reminds us that we are not fighting from defeat — we are fighting from victory. The battle belongs to the Lord. Jesus has already defeated the enemy. We are called to advance the Kingdom. The cause is this: that all the world would know there is a God. This message will challenge you to: • Know your cause • Know your real enemy • Remember your weapons & training 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 whet

“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 a

“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

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 Scrip

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 def

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

"We will be led by whatever spirit that we are full of." — Pastor Chad Everett In 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 Ro

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

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
