Each Has a Work and a Fire | Chad Everett | The Roads 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

More Than Predicting a Date, Knowing a Man | Chad Everett

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

BEAUTIFUL | Dawn Everett | The Roads 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

Powerful, Not Pitiful — Cast Your Care and Walk by Faith | Blake Bradley

“You can be pitiful, but you’re made to be powerful.” Blake Bradley In 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
