## Sermons

- [Isaiah – Week 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/isaiah-week-6/) - In a world often marked by disappointing leaders, Isaiah's vision (⁠Isaiah 32:1-8⁠) of the righteous King and the kind of leadership that brings protection, truth, and flourishing points us to Jesus — the perfect King who leads with righteousness. he offers refuge to the weary, and invites us to joyfully submit every area of our
- [Isaiah – Week 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/isaiah-week-5/) - God is involved in all history and He is sovereign, He has a purpose for all that happens (⁠Isaiah 14:26-27⁠). And in the midst of judgement shines hope. Isaiah shares a powerful vision of God's coming kingdom. God will prevail. The proud will be humbled and death itself defeated (⁠⁠Isaiah 25:1-12⁠⁠). "Oh death, where is
- [Isaiah  – Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/isaiah-week-4/) - It is hard to imagine the prophesies in Isaiah being written 700 years before Jesus, but when a young Bedouin shepherd found a scroll of Isaiah in a cave near the Dead Sea, predating Jesus by 150 years, this was pretty sound proof that these prophecies were not added after the fact. By the time
- [Isaiah – Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/isaiah-week-3/) - "If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all" (⁠Isaiah 7:9⁠). These are the words given to Ahaz, a king who trusted wordly strength over trusting God. Isaiah told him to ask God for a sign and God will deliver him. But, Ahaz would not. Under false spiritual pretense (⁠Isaiah
- [Isaiah - Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/isaiah-week-2/) - The book opens with the nation of Judah under trial. God calls all of creation to be witness to the corruption of humanity. God did everything possible to offer us a full, purposeful life. And though the garden that He gave has been robbed and is vile, He has not given up. He always leaves
- [Isaiah - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/isaiah-week-1/) - Seven hundred years before Jesus was born the prophet Isaiah was called to give a message of warning and hope. That message has echoed through the entire Bible, through history and still speaks today. The scene was shocking (⁠Isaiah 6:1-8⁠), the full glory of Jesus on the throne (⁠John 14:41⁠). Though Isaiah recognized his sin
- [More Than Conquerors - Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/more-than-conquerors-week-4/) - Paul's primary point through⁠ Romans chapter 8⁠ is all about what Jesus has done for us on the Cross. No matter what you are up against, look to the Cross. God does not condemn those who are in Christ, He will use all things for good. The good news is the love of Christ! And
- [More Than Conquerors - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/more-than-conquerors-week-3/) - How things should be and how they are do not match up. The reason is sin. Like a crack in a screen, there is a flaw in the perfection of creation. All creation groans, we groan, the Spirit groans for the completion of redemption (⁠Romans 8:18-30⁠). It is not that suffering should not be minimized,
- [More Than Conquerors – Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/more-than-conquerors-week-2/) - Romans 8⁠ calls believers to take sin seriously, not by living in fear, but by remembering who they are in Christ. This message explores the battle between the flesh and the Spirit, the call to “put to death” sin by the Spirit’s power, and the incredible reality that through Jesus we are adopted into God’s
- [More Than Conquerors - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/more-than-conquerors-week-1/) - The Gospel is more than a being door opened to a new relationship. It is a relationship with Christ the creator. The Gospel is God transforming us. Paul wrote, maybe, the most encouraging words of what the Gospel is. ⁠Romans 8⁠ tells us our verdict (no condemnation), how we should respond (in thought and action),
- [Faith and Identity](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-and-identity/) - Most of us know the story of Gideon (⁠Judges 6:1-16⁠). He found himself in a oppressed society because the future generation did not make an intentional effort to hand pass of their most important inheritance, faith in God (⁠Judges 2:8-12⁠). We need to understand, this is not an automatic hand-off. God warned Israel of the
- [Bless the Lord O My Soul - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/bless-the-lord-o-my-soul-week-3/) - Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman in John 4 shows that worship is not about a place, but about putting all worth in God - in spirit and truth. Humanity is drawn to worship but we often misdirect it, while all along, God is calling us back to Himself. Worship involves the whole person and
- [Bless the Lord O My Soul - Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/bless-the-lord-o-my-soul-week-2/) - Over and over again the Bible calls us to worship. It is a command to sing and give worth to our Lord. This sure makes sense, because we were created to sing (⁠Psalm 98:7-9⁠). All creation worships The Creator. Jesus even said, if we don't worship Him the stones will cry out and worship Him
- [Bless The Lord O My Soul - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/bless-the-lord-o-my-soul-week-1/) - In response to Easter last week (Jesus victory over death) we worship (⁠Matthew 28:1-10, 16-20⁠). It is important to accept that everybody worships, it is a matter of what/who you worship. Worship can be misdirected or misguided, there are plenty of examples in the old testament, and plenty of examples today. That which we worship
- [When Heaven Meets Earth - Resurrection](https://liferoads.org/sermons/when-heaven-meets-earth-resurrection/) - Happy resurrection (⁠Luke 24:1-12⁠). Life is a journey, isn't it? On the short journey to Emmaus Jesus listens to the disciples, He teaches them and then He reveals Himself (⁠Luke 24:1-12⁠). Let Jesus join your journey and He will do the same. Let confusion become clarity, despair turn to joy, and watch fear dissipate and
- [When Heaven Meets Earth - Week 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/when-heaven-meets-earth-week-6/) - Jesus is everything we need. In ⁠John 11⁠ Jesus interacted with three siblings and gives each exactly what they needed. Martha needed to clarity, she needed to know the Jesus is the Messiah. Mary needed compassion, Jesus wept with her. Lazarus needed resurrection, Jesus IS THE resurrection and life! We all need each of these
- [When Heaven Meets Earth - Week 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/when-heaven-meets-earth-week-5/) - In the ninth chapter of ⁠John⁠, Jesus heals a man blind from birth. Now this man did not ask to be healed and then he was heavily questioned about the healing. His response was simple and pure, "One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see." Though he was not seeking Jesus
- [When Heaven Meets Earth - Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/when-heaven-meets-earth-4/) - In this message from ⁠Luke 9:28–43⁠, we see Jesus revealed in glory at the Transfiguration before the disciples quickly return to the broken realities of life in the valley. The passage reminds us that while mountaintop moments strengthen our faith, real spiritual growth often happens in the everyday struggles of life as we learn to
- [When Heaven Meets Earth - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/when-heaven-meets-earth-week-3/) - We are often delayed in our appointments. How do we feel about God's delays? On His way to heal a prominent leader's daughter, Jesus delays to heal a woman who had been suffering for 12 years (⁠Luke 8:40-56⁠). During that delay the child died. In Jesus' perfect timing, He gave much more than healing. They
- [When Heaven Meets Earth – Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/when-heaven-meets-earth-week-2/) - Storms come, you can be sure of it. Literal or metaphorical, they often come without warning and without reason. Jesus has power over these storms, power over the literal storms in His creation, and power over the storms in your life. When Jesus calms the storm (⁠Matthew 8:23-27⁠), the disciples even ask, 'What sort of
- [When Heaven Meets Earth - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/when-heaven-meets-earth-week-1/) - When we have needs or even great desires, it is exciting when are they are fulfilled. There is great joy, rightfully so. When we are talking about the miracles of Jesus, there is even more excitement. However, we also need to be careful to not treat God as a vending machine, which has been the
- [Out of the Whirlwind – Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/out-of-the-whirlwind-week-3/) - We conclude our series in Job (Job 38:1-11, Job 42:1-5) by looking at God’s response to Job’s many questions. Instead of offering explanations for his suffering, God meets him with His presence and a sweeping reminder of His wisdom, power, and care over creation. In the end, Job discovers that what he needed most was
- [Out of the Whirlwind - Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/out-of-the-whirlwind-week-2/) - We do not serve a pocket sized God. If we get anything from the book of Job it is that our God is BIG - and we can trust Him. Though Job's friends comfort him at first (⁠Job 2:11-13⁠), they slowly turn from good, to the bad and the ugly. Too often (like Job's friends)
- [Out of the Whirlwind - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/out-of-the-whirlwind-week-12/) - Job is a challenging book. He experienced suffering for no apparent reason (⁠Job 1:8-22⁠), though his friends are certain that he must have done something to deserve it (⁠Job 2:1-12⁠). In the end, God's response is to remind him of the power, knowledge and sovereignty of God himself. But we are left without a satisfying
- [Abide - Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/abide-week-4/) - There are several metaphors used to describe the Church. The most common description used in the Bible is a family. But, Paul also used the image of living bricks, and members of a body (⁠1 Corinthians 12:12-27⁠). We all desire to belong. People are always forming clubs and groups and teams. We build community to
- [Abide – Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/abide-week-3/) - No one claims to be an expert on prayer; we all feel inadequate. There are many difficulties and many distractions. In one way, prayer is very easy; however, it is also deeply complex. Prayer should be the business of Christians; it is our duty, and it should be our delight. In Paul's letter to the
- [Abide – Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/abide-week-2/) - Daily engagement with Scripture is a core practice of abiding in Christ. We should be able to see the Bible not as an obligation or academic exercise, but as a living, life-giving means of growing in our relationship with Jesus. As God’s Word dwells richly in us, we are shaped, taught, and directed in our
- [Abide - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/abide-week-1/) - In the spirit of New Year's resolutions, today we ask, how might we grow spiritually this year? How do we worry less and pray more? The "Gospel Hardware" is Jesus. He stated that He is the true vine; you are clean because of the words He has spoken. Apart from Him you can do nothing.
- [Waiting Room - Love](https://liferoads.org/sermons/waiting-room-love/) - The prophet Jeremiah was the messenger that told Judah they were going to be in exile for generations ⁠Jeremiah 29:4-14⁠. Though this seems like defeat, it is under God's design and under His direction. In ⁠Ezekiel 10⁠ is a description of God abandoning the temple and he goes into exile with His people. That is
- [Waiting Room - Joy](https://liferoads.org/sermons/waiting-room-joy/) - God gave King David a promise. God would establish a kingdom and on the throne will be a David's son (⁠1 Chronicles 17:1-15⁠). David waited. He waited many years. In his humble poem (⁠Psalm 27⁠), from experience David states, "Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let our heart take courage; wait for the Lord."
- [Waiting Room - Peace](https://liferoads.org/sermons/waiting-room-peace/) - If you have never been able to make it through the book of Numbers, you're not alone. Reading it can feel like sitting in the DMV, "take a number." Yes, the book is full of numbers and can get very repetitive, but there are also some very interesting stories in there. One of those stories
- [Waiting Room - Hope](https://liferoads.org/sermons/waiting-room-hope/) - How do we be patient in our waiting periods? How do we recognize that it is not a waste of time? The fall broke our relationship with God, others, creation, and ourselves. However, in the same verses of Genesis that describe the fall, God presents the protoevangelium; the first good news of the redeemer. Jesus
- [Down to Earth - Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/down-to-earth-week-4/) - Prayer is an act of humility, a declaration of our dependence on God, that invites Him into our fears and worries. As we bring our requests with thanksgiving for all God has already provided, He meets us with His promised peace (⁠Philippians 4:4-9⁠).
- [Down to Earth - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/down-to-earth-week-3/) - Humility isn't entirely about introspection and self. Humility brings unity. The apostle Paul wrote to the Philippian church about being unified, being of the mind of Christ (Philippians 2). Then he described Christ in a way that flipped the cultural expression of glory and honor on its head. He wrote out a hymn about the
- [Down to Earth – Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/down-to-earth-week-2/) - Our culture has this strange pattern of the 'humble brag,' where we act as if we are humble—all the while we are boasting. Paul warned of such pride. C.S. Lewis called pride "the great sin." It is sin curved inward on ourselves. God opposes the proud (⁠James 4:6⁠), Paul presents this plainly in ⁠1 Corinthians⁠.
- [Down to Earth - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/down-to-earth-week-1/) - What does true humility look like? In ⁠John 13:1–17⁠, we see true humility. Jesus, fully aware of His identity and authority, took a posture of a servant and washed His disciples' feet. His example challenges our ideas about strength, success, and status. Pride can quietly shape the way we see ourselves and others. Humility begins
- [Devoted](https://liferoads.org/sermons/devoted/) - This message looks at the birth of the church in ⁠Acts 2⁠, beginning with Peter’s sermon at Pentecost and moving to a snapshot of the early Christian community. We explore what life looked like in that community — how believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. Their devotion led
- [Lettuce statements for the Church](https://liferoads.org/sermons/lettuce-statements-for-the-church/) - You probably didn't feel a cultural pressure to attend church this morning. Most likely you wanted to come. Why is that? Why come to church? ⁠Hebrews 10:19-25⁠ provides us some answers to these questions. It states three "let us" statements about being together in church. First, let us draw near with hearts full of faith
- [Following Jesus - Week 17](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-17/) - The Great Commission: these words are not actually used in the Bible. But Jesus gave his disciples (and us) a task, a mission; and He gave us the authority to spread the great news of His coming - and His resurrection. This is the fundamental event of history (⁠1 Corinthians 15:17-19⁠). Central to Christianity. Jesus
- [Following Jesus - Week 16](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-16/) - All history points to the crucifixion and subsequent resurrection (⁠Matthew 27:27-54⁠). The cross is a scandal (⁠1 Cor 1:18⁠); it makes no sense to invent such a thing - to use a device of torture as a symbol of grace. This idea of sacrifice is alarming (especially the sacrifice of Jesus); could there be another
- [Following Jesus - Week 15](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-15/) - The night of Jesus' imminent betrayal and arrest, He shared Passover with His disciples (⁠Matthew 26:17-35⁠). During this meal, Jesus aligned the historical reminder of Israel's deliverance from Egypt with a new covenant, one of His blood and His body instead of the sacrificial Passover lamb. Some people may see this exercise as an empty
- [Following Jesus - Week 14](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-14/) - Jesus’ teaching in ⁠Matthew 24:42-25:13⁠, regarding the end times, is a challenging section of scripture. It is more about how we should live in light of His promised return, not so much what the world tends to be fascinated with. It is not about apocalyptic predictions - whether through movies, media, or date-setting. Jesus calls
- [Following Jesus - Week 13](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-13/) - Jesus confronted the religious leaders of Jerusalem shortly before his crucifixion. He criticized them for hypocrisy and contrasts the outward show of righteousness with inner corruption, like tombs that appear white on the outside but are full of dead bones inside (⁠Matthew 23⁠). This reflects a larger theme of rebellion against God’s ways and the
- [Following Jesus - Week 12](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-12/) - Throughout the Gospel of Matthew a picture of the Kingdom of Heaven is being presented. (⁠⁠⁠Matthew 19:16 - 20:28⁠⁠⁠) Jesus describes an upside-down kingdom that reflects the character of its King—marked by generosity, grace, and servanthood rather than power, wealth, or status. It begins now, overlapping with this world as Jesus rules in the hearts of
- [Following Jesus - Week 11](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-11/) - Jesus holds up humility as an essential character of the kingdom of heaven (⁠Matthew 18:1-4⁠). Note the humility of a child: sincere, sensitive, and simple. The humblest child has the ability to influence many souls. Forgiveness is a characteristic of the kingdom as well (⁠Matthew 18:21-35⁠). You can't even count the importance and value of
- [Following Jesus - Week 10](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-10/) - God reveals. The question is: what does God show us, and what should our response be? In ⁠Matthew 16:13-20⁠. Jesus asks Peter, "Who do you say I am?" He responded, "You are the Christ." But Peter's expectation of what that meant was a bit inaccurate. Jesus teaches that He was to suffer and die. We
- [Following Jesus – Week 9](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-9/) - Jesus described how people receive the word of God like soil receiving a seed. Our hearts respond to Christ's message by being — hard, shallow, crowded, or receptive. The Parable of the Sower is a well-known story found in ⁠Matthew 13:1-23⁠ that is asking us how we hear God's word. Do we have a tinge
- [Following Jesus - Week 8](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-8/) - When John the Baptist was in prison, he sent some of his disciples to ask Jesus if he truly was the Messiah (⁠Matt 11:1-11⁠). Jesus honored John — then He pointed to the signs that were prophesied in Isaiah. Jesus has grace for those who wrestle with doubt. He knows that there will be a
- [Following Jesus - Week 7](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-7/) - Jesus called His disciples and sent them into a world full of need. ⁠Matthew 10:1–20⁠ reminds us that ministry is not just for a few; it’s for all of us. Wherever we are at—work, home, or in our neighborhoods—we are in ministry. We walk through Jesus’ instructions for the mission: for who (the lost sheep
- [Following Jesus – Week 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-6/) - What comes to your mind when you think of authority? Today, in our reading from the Gospel of⁠ Matthew, chapter 9⁠, we are introduced to a level of authority that only God possesses. Jesus is clear: He has the authority to forgive sin. But He also has the authority to heal and to transform your
- [Following Jesus – Week 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-5/) - This message challenges us to honestly evaluate the substance of our faith: Are we Jesus flavored or Jesus filled? Drawing from ⁠Matthew 7⁠, we look at three essential tests Jesus gives: the Fruit Test, the Obedience Test, and the Foundation Test. Popularity, appearances, and good intentions aren't enough — what matters is a life rooted
- [Following Jesus – Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-4/) - In ⁠Matthew 6:1-15⁠, Jesus makes it clear that spiritual practices are not for show. What we aim for in our spiritual lives, we receive. Don't pray to impress or with formulaic expectations, as if God does not already know and He needs to be woken up or informed. Spiritual practices of generosity, worship and prayer
- [Following Jesus - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-3/) - The teachings of Jesus have had vast historical influence, and the Sermon on the Mount may be the most influential. But the scripture we are covering today (⁠Matthew 5:1-20⁠) isn't just nice platitudes; it is shocking. The audience was 'astonished.' We must be careful to not read this sermon with preconceived ideas and cast our
- [Following Jesus - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-1/) - Isaiah chapters 40-55 are called the 'comfort poems.' They are a backdrop to the Gospel of Matthew. They tell of the Messiah's return and hope of the promised Kingdom of God (⁠Isaiah 52:1-10⁠⁠). Matthew is diligent to make clear that fulfillment of the entire story of the Hebrew Bible is found in Jesus. He begins
- [Following Jesus - Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/following-jesus-week-2/) - The synoptic gospels present Jesus' temptation immediately following His baptism. We can expect challenges after spiritual peaks. The wilderness motif is common in scripture. It represents a dry and discouraging time that grows and matures us. It is a time that we must be dependent on God (⁠1 Peter 1:6-7⁠). Today in ⁠Matthew 3:13-4:11⁠, we
- [Firstfruits](https://liferoads.org/sermons/firstfruits/) - What difference does the resurrection make in our lives beyond Easter Sunday? This message explores the reality, power, and hope of the resurrection as revealed in ⁠1 Corinthians 15⁠. Through eyewitness accounts, transformed lives, and the rapid growth of the early church, we affirm the historical and transformative truth of Jesus' resurrection. The resurrection offers
- [Walk Wisely - Week 7](https://liferoads.org/sermons/walk-wisely-week-7/) - In this conclusion to the "Walk Wisely" sermon series, we explore the timeless metaphor of life as a journey. Reflecting on ⁠Proverbs 4:10-19⁠ and ⁠Ephesians 5:15-16⁠, this message examines the two paths we can walk — the way of wisdom or the way of folly. It highlights the choices, challenges, and direction of our lives
- [Walk Wisely - Week 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/walk-wisely-week-6/) - We are social creatures. We need friends (⁠Proverbs 18:24⁠). Though we may have many acquaintances and FB friends, these are not the friends we're talking about. We need friends that give good advice and challenge our foolish wanderings (⁠Proverbs 13:20⁠). Sure, you are influential, but more importantly, you are influenced. Be aware of the influences
- [Walk Wisely - Week 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/walk-wisely-week-5/) - The way we think about work is broken. We often see it as a necessary evil, but scripture presents a different way to think about it (⁠Colossians 3:23-24⁠). Though it is imperfect, there is goodness in work, and we should be wise about how we think about and how we engage in work (⁠Proverb 12:11⁠)(⁠Proverb
- [Humility from Heaven](https://liferoads.org/sermons/humility-from-heaven/) - The hymn Christ-Hymn of Philippians 2 is masterfully honoring the humanity and deity of Christ. Paul paints Jesus at the highest peak of honor, placing his name above all creation; and shows this from the vantage point of the lowest points of humanity; emptied, humble and obedient.
- [Walk Wisely - Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/walk-wisely-week-4/) - We are all a part of a family, and the Bible teaches us how to live wisely in families. Family is vital, and family is vulnerable (⁠Proverbs 27:8)⁠. It is a critical part of our social and personal foundation. It has a deep influence in our lives, for good and sometimes not so good (⁠⁠Proverbs
- [Walk Wisely - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/walk-wisely-week-3/) - How do wisdom and money mix? ⁠Proverb 27:23-24⁠. Money is morally neutral. It is the love of money that corrupts and damages. We must understand that everything, ultimately, belongs to God. If we put all our trust in money, it will fail us. Life is more than riches. Spend wisely (⁠Proverb 21:20⁠), save wisely, be
- [Walk Wisely - Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/walk-wisely-week-2/) - There is great power and great danger in speech. There is great encouragement and great destruction in what we say. Speech can even carry the power of death and life, according to ⁠Proverbs 18:21⁠. The destructive power of a lie is more than you know, yet we all have access to the absolute truth, Jesus
- [Sing - Created to Worship Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sing-created-worship-week-3/) - Hebrews 12:18-29 Colossians 3:16
- [Walk Wisely - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/walk-wisely-week-1/) - We live in the age of information. There is more data at our fingertips than ever in history. However, all that information does not translate into wise living (⁠Ephesians 5:15-16⁠). The wisdom of ⁠Proverbs 1:1-7⁠ tells us to pursue wisdom. It takes intentional living; do not reject or mock wisdom. Wisdom invites you to engage
- [Redeemer](https://liferoads.org/sermons/redeemer/) - He is risen! (⁠Ephesians 1:7-10⁠) Jesus has paid the ransom and bought us back. We are redeemed from slavery and sin. It was a high price, indeed, but you are of infinite worth to God. So, live the new life Jesus gave us when He transferred us from a life of darkness to His kingdom
- [A living Redeemer - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/a-living-redeemer-week-3/) - In the final chapter of Ruth, we saw that we need a redeemer, not just humanity, but each and every one of us. We also need a king, a benevolent, loving authority that we can only find in Christ. Finally, it is critical to know that everyone is invited; everyone is welcome. Just as Ruth
- [A Living Redeemer – Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/a-living-redeemer-week-2/) - Today in ⁠Ruth 3⁠, we look at the character of Boaz. His name means strength. Boaz is a generous provider and protector. He is a pillar in his community and family. Our society needs more people like Boaz. ⁠2 Chronicles 3:15-17⁠
- [A Living Redeemer - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/a-living-redeemer-week-1/) - Introducing ⁠Ruth⁠. We look at the three main characters in this story and read excerpts of ⁠chapters 1 & 2⁠. This is a small story of redemption - in the larger book of God's redemption. Where one would expect there to be prejudice, there is dignity and acceptance. We can see how reflecting God's kindness
- [Stirred Up – Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/stirred-up-week-4/) - Jesus put the Church in the hands of His disciple and the rock—Peter. Just like us, Peter was flawed and stumbled. However, he had the strength of Jesus' grace. In Peter's final words (⁠2 Peter 3⁠), he brings us a warning and the truth of what is to come. In the midst of that is
- [Stirred Up - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/stirred-up-week-3/) - Peter is very passionate about warning the early church to be on their guard for false teachers. This is not unique to ⁠2 Peter 2;⁠ it is all through scripture. We have a responsibility to know what is true and recognize false teaching. Donnie shares Peter's insight on how to recognize false teaching.
- [Stirred Up – Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/stirred-up-week-2/) - This week in ⁠2 Peter 1:16-21⁠, Donnie talks about the power of scripture. The Bible isn't just any book. Peter explained how they have written from first-hand experience of Jesus. The message is the light of God; it is God's guide to your life. One has to ask themselves, What is the authority in your
- [Stirred Up - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/stirred-up-week-1/) - The⁠ first chapter of Peter's second epistle⁠ challenges believers to actively pursue spiritual growth, remain rooted in God’s provision, and live lives that reflect His abundant grace. Today's lesson focuses on three key themes. The Foundation of Faith: Peter emphasizes that believers have received a faith as precious as the apostles', rooted in the righteousness
- [Sojourners & Exiles Week 8](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sojourners-exiles-week-8/) - Today Nathan Harris finishes our teaching on the epistle of 1 Peter. In ⁠1 Peter 4:17–5:14⁠, we find a difficult challenge to grow through suffering. Glory and suffering are two sides of the same coin. But how do we not just get through it; how do we grow through it? We have to be community-minded;
- [Sojourners & Exiles - Week 7](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sojourners-exiles-week-7/) - 1 Peter 4:1-19⁠ 1. Give God your thoughts 2. Give God your best 3. Give God your pain
- [Sojourners & Exiles – Week 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sojourners-exiles-week-5/) - Today Peter talks about marriage. This can be a touchy subject, but realize that God has made it a unique institution for immense growth. It is one of the few institutions that God established, and if respected, it has a very powerful spiritual effect. 1 Peter 3:1-7 has encouraging words for wives and husbands. Respect,
- [Sojourners & Exiles - Week 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sojourners-exiles-week-6/) - Your attitude has the power to change how you live. Drawing from 1 Peter 3:8-22, this message highlights how Christlike attitudes—like compassion and humility—shape our responses to tough situations, helping us to bless others, trust God, and live with purpose.
- [Sojourners & Exiles – Week 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sojourners-exiles-week-4/) - Today in ⁠⁠1 Peter 2:11-25⁠⁠ we ask, What do we fear? Do we fear public ridicule, being a social outcast, or just simply not fitting in? We are citizens of a different kingdom, and all we have to fear is the Lord. But this fear is not a debilitating fear. It is a fear of
- [Sojourners & Exiles - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sojourners-exiles-week-3/) - This message focuses on our identity in Christ and the call to spiritual growth as outlined in 1 Peter 2:1-12.

- [An Invitational Life - Week 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/an-invitational-life-part-6/) - Have you ever gone to great lengths to find something valuable you lost? We sill often go to great lengths to find what we have lost. these moments reveal how deeply we care about what’s missing. In Luke 15, Jesus shares parables of a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son to illustrate
- [An Invitational Life - Week 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/an-invitational-life-week-5/) - In this 5th message of our “An Invitational Life” sermon series, we explore how to handle opposition in our efforts at evangelism.

- [An Invitational Life - Week 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/an-invitational-life-week-3/) - This message reminds us how stories shape us. We’ll explore how the Bible showcases the transforming power of personal testimony through the story of a man born blind in John 9, healed and given purpose by Jesus. His story—and ours—reveals the profound impact of sharing how God works through our lives. Learn to recognize the
- [An Invitational Life - Week 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/an-invitational-life-week-1/) - For many, sharing the gospel can feel awkward or intimidating—let's face it, not everyone feels like a natural evangelist.

Through a series of key scriptures, including John 18:28-36 and Romans 13:1-7, he addresses the Christian principle of stewardship, not just of resources but of our vote and political engagement. Donnie argues that Christians must prioritize their
- [An Invitational Life - Week 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/an-invitational-life-week-2/) - This sermon dives into the adventure of evangelism, breaking down misconceptions and recasting it as a relational journey rather than a high-pressure sales pitch.

- [Practical Faith - Pt. 8](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practical-faith-pt-8/) - The difference between the wisdom of this world and God's wisdom is the focus of Pastor Donnie Johnson's study of James 3:13-18.
- [Practical faith - Pt. 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practical-faith-pt-6/) - In our summer study of the Book of James, Pastor Donnie Johnson looks at chapter 2 verses 14-26 and discusses what faith really is ... and what it's not.
- [Practical Faith - Pt. 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practical-faith-pt-5/) - Today Pastor Donnie focuses on James 2:1-13 where we are told that faith is more than a belief or a feeling; instead, our inward faith is shown to be genuine by our outward actions ... and largely by the motivation for our behaviors to others. Recorded on July 17, 2022, at Liferoads Church in Spokane, Washington.
- [Practical Faith, Pt. 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practical-faith-pt-4/) - Words matter, and God's Word always brings life ... but our words can either encourage or do great harm, according to Pastor Donnie.
- [Practical Faith, Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practical-faith-pt-3/) - Temptation is the focus of our study today in the Book of James. What, or whom, is the source of temptation, what is the process that it takes, and perhaps most importantly, what is the solution to it?
- [Practical Faith, Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practical-faith-pt-2/) - James encourages believers to ask God for His wisdom when faced with the multitude of decisions, big and small, that we face every day. The alternative to wisdom is foolishness, and living a life that is tossed to and fro by the tumultuous waves of circumstances.
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-2/) - God provides! We look at a story of how God provides for Elijah in remarkable ways Though God's provision for you will not likely come from ravens dropping food He will provide generously and powerfully in your life.
- [Rival Gods - Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/rival-gods-pt-3/) - In part 3 of Pastor Donnie Johnson’s Sunday teaching series, “Rival Gods,” he examines the potential rival to a Christian's wholehearted worship of God: the "Rival God" of sex.
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-3/) - The time of Elijah was very different than now, but humans are not so different. We need to know who God is and who we are. Ask God to help us identify our idols and take them to task.
- [Practical Faith - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practical-faith-pt-1/) - Today's introductory message to a new summer series on the Book of James focuses on the first four verses, the background of the author (the brother of Jesus), and James' immediate encouragement to believers to count all suffering and trials as joy ... say what? How do we do that? Pastor Donnie gives specific help to do just that.
- [Rival Gods - Pt. 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/rival-gods-pt-4/) - In this final message in his teaching series, "Rival Gods," Pastor Donnie Johnson compares how our world views and defines power to how the all-powerful God of the universe views it and wants His followers to steward whatever power they have. Pastor Donnie uses Jesus' example of humble service in John 13 to instruct us.
- [Rival Gods - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/rival-gods-pt-2/) - Do you rule your money ... or does your desire for more money rule over you? In part 2 of Pastor Donnie Johnson's Sunday teaching series, "Rival Gods," he examines Jesus' parable of the dishonest manager, found in Luke 16, to find the perspective we should have about the wealth and resources God has given us to steward in this life. Recorded on Sunday, May 29, 2022, at Liferoads Church in Spokane, Washington.
- [Rival Gods - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/rival-gods-pt-1/) - Pastor Donnie says that we should think about the Christian life as an ongoing process of submitting our lives to Christ, worshipping the true God, and getting rid of any rivals to Him. Over the next three weeks, Pastor Donnie will look at the big three rivals for Christians today are money, sex and power.
- [Love God with All Your Mind - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/love-god-with-all-your-mind-pt-2/) - Is your mindset important for your spiritual life? The word "mindset" doesn't appear in Scripture, but it does appear flipped around as the phrase "set your mind," and is very important, according to Pastor Donnie Johnson in part 2 of his teaching series, "Love God with All Your Mind." For example, the way that you think about God, yourself and the world affects your prayer life greatly, and other essential elements of the Christian life.
- [Love God with All Your Mind - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/love-god-with-all-your-mind-pt-1/) - What is the greatest commandment? According to Jesus it is "...you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." In this introduction to his new teaching series, Pastor Donnie Johnson focuses on how to "Love God with All Your Mind" and explains why protecting one's mind and thought life is so vital to living the Christian life.
- [Love God with All Your Mind - Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/love-god-with-all-your-mind-pt-3/) - What do you do with the inevitable fear and anxieties of this life? Pastor Donnie Johnson uses the story in Isaiah 36 and 37 as an example of what Christians should do when faced with scary situations, whether real or imagined, that cause anxiety and worry. In that passage, King Hezekiah was faced with a very real existential threat when Jerusalem was surrounded by the threat and might of the Assyrian Army, bent on destroying the King and his capital city. How did the king respond? And what did the Lord do for Hezekiah?
- [To the Ends of the Earth - Part 13](https://liferoads.org/sermons/to-the-ends-of-the-earth-part-13/) - Acts 14:24-28Acts 15:1-6Acts 15:7Galatians 2:11-14Acts 15:7-11Acts 15:11Acts 15:12-21Acts 15:22-35

- [To the Ends of the Earth - Part 18](https://liferoads.org/sermons/to-the-ends-of-the-earth-part-18/) - Paul completes his third missionary journey in Jerusalem where he is confronted with all sorts of trouble. In the midst of riot and arrest, Paul keeps a 'hope filled - Big God' perspective. Paul takes the opportunity of a riotous crowd to preach the good news of Christ through his testimony.
- [To the Ends of the Earth - Part 19](https://liferoads.org/sermons/to-the-ends-of-the-earth-part-19/) - We all have a powerful tool for the Kingdom of God. Your testimony! Today we look at a history changing statement from Paul on trail. He tells kings that Christianity is true and rational, and prayed that all who hear him might become just like him, except for the chains. Your statement can be just as powerful.
- [To the Ends of the Earth - Part 20](https://liferoads.org/sermons/to-the-ends-of-the-earth-part-20/) - These final chapters of Acts are a great example of both earthy love for all and heavenly minded devotion. Paul shows us how the Gospel is for all peoples, cultures and times. Because, Jesus is Lord of all!
- [To the Ends of the Earth - Part 17](https://liferoads.org/sermons/to-the-ends-of-the-earth-part-17/) - Acts 20
- [Christmas service](https://liferoads.org/sermons/christmas-service/) - Since the fall, God has been working his plan on redeeming humanity and reuniting his relationship with us. Jesus' incarnation is pinnacle of his plan. God came to earth and dwelt among us. Now we all have access to a relationship with the creator.
- [Christmas Presence – Part 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/christmas-presence-part-4/) - How does one live with the presence of God now; now that you are holy, set aside, and meant for a special purpose? Live as you are the temple of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit lives in you!
- [Christmas Presence – Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/christmas-presence-part-3/) - "Where there is no vision, the people perish" God, desiring to be near His creation met them in the Holiest of the Holy place in temple. That temple took different forms over time and today, God resides in us. We are the temple of God.
- [Christmas Presence – Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/christmas-presence-part-2/) - The world is broken. Since the fall we know we are not at home. There are many pointers in the bible showing us the hope we have in God's Kingdom. We confidently climb Mnt. Zion.
- [Christmas Presence - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/christmas-presence-part-1/) - One of the most powerful pieces of the Christmas story is the phrase "God with us." This is an amazing thought! Though humanity first hid from God's presence He continues to draw nearer and nearer to his people. The story of God coming to be with us is powerful. Living in God's presence is where we find true fulfillment and joy.
- [Look to Jesus](https://liferoads.org/sermons/look-to-jesus/) - Pastor Donnie takes a look at Jesus through the eyes of Peter and examines how Peter's understanding of Jesus and who He is changed and deepened over time through five different encounters between the two.
- [Practicing the Presence of God - Part 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practicing-the-presence-of-god-part-5/) - Similar to the church in Ephesus, we all drift from our first passions. John gives us all a good reminder in his letter of Revelation, that we need to remember our passion for Christ, repent from our hardening heart and return to to the practices of love.
- [Practicing the Presence of God - Part 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practicing-the-presence-of-god-part-4/) - Where is the Church in Jesus life? Good question, since Jesus only says the word twice. But when He talks about the Church, it is very weighty. We need the Church - to grow, to learn, to love each other. The Church needs us - to encourage each other, to help each other. The Church was born in song, it is an act of worship and God blesses us through the Church as we bless others.
- [Practicing the Presence of God - Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practicing-the-presence-of-god-part-3/) - Part of living in God's presence is talking to God. In John 17, Jesus gives us insight into the relationship that He has with the father and shows us how we can talk to God through PRAYER.
- [Practicing the Presence of God - Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practicing-the-presence-of-god-part-2/) - How do we live life in God's presence? We need to know that God speaks, and we need God's Word more than food. God's Word is precious. Actively put yourself in Jesus' path by reading His Holy Word.
- [Practicing the Presence of God - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/practicing-the-presence-of-god-part-1/) - How do we live in God's presence? Receive His gracious gift and act on the virtue of faith. It isn't all about working for faith, it isn't all about waiting on Jesus, there is a concurrence. Work with the gifts God has given you to produce fruit through virtue and love.
- [Foretold - Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/foretold-part-3/) - Jesus made His third and final prediction of His own death and resurrection as He prepared to make His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Knowing the horrific death that awaited Him there, He courageously entered the Holy City to accomplish what only He could on the cross.
- [Foretold - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/foretold-part-1/) - Jesus foretold of his death and resurrection. Peter's response was two fold 180° apart. How do we respond? Pray, Read Scripture and Fellowship!
- [Oikos: Biblical Wisdom for Marriage & Home - Part 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/oikos-biblical-wisdom-for-marriage-home-part-5/) - Ephesians 6:4 Deuteronomy 6:1-7 Deuteronomy 6:20-25 Joshua 4:1-7 Judges 2:10 Psalm 145:3-4
- [Oikos: Biblical Wisdom for Marriage & Home - Part 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/oikos-biblical-wisdom-for-marriage-home-part-4/) - Parenting is hard .... and rewarding. Ephesians gives us a great guidelines for both parents and children (obey, honor, respect, guide, encourage...). We are all adopted into God's family and through our adoption there is healing for wounds and mending where there is brokenness.
- [Oikos: Biblical Wisdom for Marriage & Home - Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/oikos-biblical-wisdom-for-marriage-home-part-3/) - Even in the healthiest of relationships there is conflict. Paul writes a beautiful and powerful guide to the broken church of Corinth. From it we can learn the power of and importance of love. Have hope, be kind and extend grace, always fueled by our our future hope promised by our Lord.
- [Oikos: Biblical Wisdom for Marriage & Home – Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/oikos-biblical-wisdom-for-marriage-home-part-2/) - The culture gives us a false premise of marriage. It is a relationship for holiness and not built on the fickle foundations of emotion. The biblical premise of marriage is submission to each other through submission to Christ. It is Christ who completes us, and relationships guided by that principle build up and heal.
- [Oikos: Biblical Wisdom for Marriage & Home - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/oikos-biblical-wisdom-for-marriage-home-part-1/) - Introduction to our new sermon series on marriage and parenting. Marriage is important, marriage is a blessing, and marriage is difficult. Marriage is a living illustration of God's relationship with his people
- [Foretold - Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/foretold-part-2/) - Pastor Donnie Johnson took a look at the second of three predictions that Jesus made about His own death and resurrection in our Sunday series, "Foretold."
- [He's Got You](https://liferoads.org/sermons/hes-got-you/) - Pastor Craig from our sister church, Mission Church, delivers a great message that reminds us that God is still in control even when things may seem difficult.
- [The Life - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/the-life-part-1/) - Identity. Abiding in Christ
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 9](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-9/) - The final part of the series, Elisha prophesied that God would deliver Israel from siege. The armies of Samaria flee and the spoils are found by lepers. Evangelism is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread, the bread of life.
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 8](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-8/) - Elisha sees the hills full of God's army. There is much more going on in reality than we suspect. What if we lived our lives with this in mind. God give us sight.
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 7](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-7/) - Naaman seeks healing from Elisha. When Naaman sets his pride aside he is transformed, physically and spiritually. God does amazing things from the most humble and faithful.
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-6/) - God uses Elisha to provide, heal and to point to Jesus. God will use what little we have to make much. Be tenacious an trusting in faith. - All is well with my soul -
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-5/) - Elijah invests in the next generation, he calls Elisha to the service of God. Elisha, "burns the yokes" of his past and asks for double blessings of the Lords spirit. God blesses a nation through revival. Pray for revival in our land.
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-4/) - Elijah's expectation of Israel's response to the slaughter of the prophets was met with a harsh reality. He went from a mountain top moment to running for his life. The LORD comes close, encourages and guides him again.
- [Faith in a Time of Unbelief - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-in-a-time-of-unbelief-part-1/) - We tend to think of Old Testament times as so different from our own - full of strange, old-fashioned problems that we might have trouble relating to in our modern era. When we take a closer look, though, we find that our times are not much different from theirs in some of the most important ways. Sure, our lives are different because of technology and modern conveniences, but the challenge of where we should place our hope and the battle between the true God and rival gods remains. Our times have their own false gods that demand our allegiance and tempt us to turn our eyes away from the living God. We will be looking at a key story each week from the lives of Elijah and Elisha in 1 and 2 Kings. These stories will help us understand and remember how to place our faith firmly in the true God in a time of widespread unbelief.

- [Paradox - Part 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/paradox-part-6/) - How can we be free yet slaves at the same time? Before Christ, we are slaves to sin. Through Christ, we have been set free from sin but in so doing, we have become. slaves to God. We have to make a choice who we will be slaves to: sin or God.
- [Paradox - Part 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/paradox-part-5/) - The paradox this week is seeing the unseen. Faith is the key to being able to "see" that which is unseen. Not that the unseen is able to be seen with the physical eyes, but the spirit perceives the unseen through faith.
- [Paradox - Part 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/paradox-part-4/) - What do you do with your weaknesses? We all have areas of our lives that are not as strong as we would like them to be. God uses our areas of weakness to show his strength.
- [Paradox - Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/paradox-part-3/) - How can one be sorrowful yet also be rejoicing? The key is knowing that though life is hard and painful, God is good and we are able to rejoice in Him. "Joy is the serious business of heaven." C.S. Lewis
- [Paradox - Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/paradox-part-2/) - Peter needed to understand what is required to follow Jesus. The paradox is that in order to find his life he had to lose it. This requires a change of mindset; take your mind off the things of man and put it on the things of God.
- [Paradox - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/paradox-part-1/) - A paradox is one truth along side a seemingly contradictory second truth. How do we deal with two truths that seem to contradict each other? Scripture presents many paradoxes, and we will explore how to deal with a few of them in this new series.
- [The Life - Part 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/the-life-part-4/) - Getting to know Jesus is our goal. We want to build a relationship with Him through the practice of prayer.
- [The Life - Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/the-life-part-2/) - Bible Reading Jeremiah 15:16Matthew 4:42 Timothy 3:16-17Hebrews 4:12John 17:17
- [The Life - Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/the-life-part-3/) - Gathering to worship with the church is a practice that helps us to abide in Christ. The church is a "who" far more than it is a "where." People are worshipers by nature; they don't choose whether they will worship, they can only decide who or what to worship. The church gathers to worship God together.
- [Faith and Wonder - Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-and-wonder-part-3/) - Christmas season often inspires feelings of warmth and comfort. The Christmas story has some elements of conflict to it though. Jesus was born into a world at conflict, and his ministry created conflict. But Jesus came into the world to fix the broken things and nothing is able to stop him.
- [Faith and Wonder - Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-and-wonder-part-2/) - We aren't amazed when the description of "X" matches the actual appearance of "X" when we buy a product. However, even though the coming of the messiah was prophesied (description of "X"), we continue to be amazed at the was Christ fulfilled those prophesies.
- [Faith And Wonder - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/faith-and-wonder-part-1/) - As we age we tend to forget the faith and wonder surrounding Christmas that we had as children. John marvels in the wonder of the incarnation, and he encourages us to do the same.
- [That You May Believe - Part 21](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-21/) - We all have things in our life that we would like to go back and redo or reset. We don't always get that chance though. Jesus fives us the opportunity, not to go back and reset, but at least to have a clean slate.
- [That You May Believe - Part 20](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-20/) - There are certain things in life that people face with a fair amount of skepticism; things like getting a letter saying you have inherited 1 million dollars. In Christianity, one such event that receives a lot of skepticism is the resurrection. Here, we explore the resurrection and reasons why it should be believed.
- [That You May Believe - Part 19](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-19/) - The most significant death for the Christian is the death of Christ. Unknowingly, every one involved in the death of Jesus was a part of Scripture being fulfilled.
- [That You May Believe - Part 18](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-18/) - John 18:1-14 1. Jesus is courageous2 Timothy 1:7John 18:28-40 2. Jesus is the truthJohn 14:6John 19:1-16 3. Jesus has all power and authority, but humbled himself
- [That You May Believe - Part 17](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-17/) - John chapter 17 contains one of Jesus' prayers; often called the high priestly prayer. He knows that the time has come for him to do that which he came to earth to do. Jesus spends his night in prayer, praying for himself, his disciples, and ultimately us.
- [That You May Believe - Part 16](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-16/) - As Christians, we are no longer of the world. We are part of a community that has been called out of the world, and the world works overtime to try to force us to conform to itself.
- [That You May Believe - Part 15](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-15/) - The main emphasis of John 15 is abiding in Christ. Just like a branch broken from a tree, once it is removed from its source of life it is no longer able to continue to grow. We need to be sure that we stay connected to Jesus.
- [That You May Believe - Part 14](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-14/) - John 14:15-31Ephesians 3:14-19
- [That You May Believe - Part 13](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-13/) - How do you know how to get where you are going? Today we use technology like GPS. The disciples needed different kind of directions. They needed spiritual directions. Jesus tells them to believe in the "great hope" of his return. He said that He is "the way, the truth and the life."
- [That You May Believe - Part 12](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-12/) - Jesus took on the role of the lowliest person present to wash the feet of his disciples. Jesus models absolute humble service, teaching us how we ought to serve others. The way others know that we are followers of Christ is how well we love one another. We need the cleansing of Jesus if we are going to live lives of love.
- [That You May Believe - Part 11](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-11/) - Jesus Meets us where we are in life, based on our true need. Jesus loved both Mary and Martha, but he responded to each of them differently because of their needs. You, likewise, are the one who Jesus loves, and he knows where the struggles and the pain are.
- [That You May Believe - Part 10](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-10/) - Our perspective affects everything. We may be convinced of the true of a thing until we get more information. Once we have complete information, we can also have a correct perspective. John chapter 10 challenges our perspective of who Jesus is.
- [That You May Believe - Part 9](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-9/) - Because sin entered the world through the fall, all of humanity has been negatively affected; some physically, some emotionally, but all of us spiritually. People need a work of God in their lives. We all need to have our eyes opened.
- [That You May Believe - Part 8](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-8/) - Who is Jesus? Jesus makes many claims about himself and who he is. Some are fairly subdued claims, and others are quite overt and controversial. We need to recognize that Jesus is God, and not a bit less.
- [That You May Believe - Part 7](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-7/) - "If anyone thirsts..." In John chapter 7, Jesus makes another "I am" statement. He says he is the "living water." As we look at our own lives we should ask ourselves what we thirst for, and if we are coming to Jesus to quench that thirst.
- [That You May Believe - Part 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-6/) - The Israelites were provided manna from heaven during their wandering. Likewise, we have been given bread from heaven; the bread of life. Today we explore what it means for Jesus to be the bread of life.
- [That You May Believe - Part 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-5/) - Life admittedly gets busy for us all. The challenge we face is to be aware of what God is doing around us. Let us try not to miss what He is doing because we are distracted by other cares.
- [That You May Believe - Part 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-4/) - John 4:1-151. Christ's life is available to everyone John 4:16-262. Our desire for this life is like thirst John 4:27-423. We can help others receive life
- [That You May Believe - Part 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-3/) - What is it to be born again? People have many varying definitions and understandings of what that phrase means; some positive and some negative. Jesus and Nicodemus talk at length about this topic, recorded for us in John chapter 3.
- [That You May Believe - Part 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-2/) - Have you ever seen an offer that seems just too good to be true? In order to believe something that is being offered to us, we have to trust the source of the offer. Trust is foundational in all relationships.
- [That You May Believe - Part 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/that-you-may-believe-part-1/) - The gospel of John is an eyewitness testimony of his experience with Jesus. He wrote his gospel so that those who read it would believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that we might have life in His name.
- [What in the World?](https://liferoads.org/sermons/what-in-the-world/) - John 3:16-171 John 2:15-17John 17:14-18Romans 12:2James 1:27Matthew 5:13-16
- [Streams of Living Water](https://liferoads.org/sermons/streams-of-living-water/) - A life with Jesus is truly a gift. We need to be concerned with our pursuit of God before our own happiness. Pursuing Jesus with all that we have and all that we are IS the good life.
- [Fearless - Pt. 8](https://liferoads.org/sermons/fearless-pt-8/) - David's lack of fear wasn't because he was such a brave man on his own. He had courage because of his intimate relationship with God. His big faith was forged in the experiences of his daily life. Trust in God allowed David to be fearless.
- [Fearless - Pt. 7](https://liferoads.org/sermons/fearless-pt-07/) - Joshua 1:1-9 Why Joshua should be strong and courageous:1. God's promise2. Spiritual practices3. God's Presence Numbers 13:16Romans 8:31-39
- [Fearless - Pt. 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/fearless-pt-6/) - Galatians 3:29Hebrews 11:1-6Hebrews 11:8-10Genesis 12:1-4 It takes faith to follow God's call. Hebrews 11:11-12Genesis 15:1-6 It takes faith to follow God's call and hold on to your convictions. Hebrews 11:13-19 It takes faith to follow God's call and hold on to your convictions in spite of the circumstances.
- [Fearless - Pt. 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/fearless-pt-5/) - Too often it is easiest to focus on the negative things in life. We lose focus of what is most important, and we begin to focus on our circumstances. Fear can have some long-reaching consequences, as we will learn from this week's story.
- [Fearless - Pt. 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/fearless-pt-4/) - Have you ever walked into a thick fog? From the outside it looks so dense! Once you step foot inside the fog, you realize it is not what it seemed from the outside. Fear is similar. When we dissect our fears, we will discover that there is no substance to it.
- [Fearless - Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/fearless-pt-3/) - The story of Esther is a the story of a young woman with great courage. She was brought up from obscurity and put into a place of influence. She faced many fearful events in her life, but she was able to face her fears and use her divine appointment for great good.
- [Fearless - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/fearless-pt-2/) - In our series "Fearless" we explore the conflict between fear and faith (or fear and courage). This week we look at the story of Moses and his example.
- [Fearless - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/fearless-pt-1/) - Through this series we want you to become fearless; or at the very least, that you would fear less.
- [Hallelujah for the Cross](https://liferoads.org/sermons/hallelujah-for-the-cross/) - The word "hallelujah" comes from the two Hebrew words meaning "praise God." This Easter, we praise God for the cross, and for the love He had for us that led Him to make the ultimate sacrifice.
- [Sermon on the Mount - Pt. 8](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-8/) - Have you ever found yourself worrying about the future? In this portion of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us that we are not supposed to be anxious about tomorrow.
- [Sermon on the Mount - Pt. 10](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-10/) - Jesus says (paraphrasing), "This is the kind of life I want youth live, and the kind of live I'm going to help you live."
- [Sermon on the Mount - Pt. 9](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-9/) - Self-evaluation can be valuable in our spiritual lives. The sermon on the mount has provided many opportunities for introspection. Where are you today?
- [Sermon on the Mount – Pt. 7](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-7/) - Matthew 6:19-24
- [Sermon on the Mount - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-1/) - From time to time we become aware that there are gaps between the world we live in and the way Jesus has taught us to live. In this new series, we will explore Jesus' teachings from his sermon on the mount.
- [Sermon on the Mount – Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-2/) - Jesus did not abolish the law. He came to give us Kingdom.
- [Sermon on the Mount - Pt. 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-4/) - Raising the bar. This portion of the sermon on the mount digs into the heart of what the Mosaic law was trying to get to. We find that often the things we may think are "not such a big deal" often are.
- [Sermon on the Mount – Pt. 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-5/) - Traits of the citizens of the Kingdom of God : Faithful, Truthful, Trusting God, Loving.
- [Sermon on the Mount - Pt.6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-6/) - Motives matter. The Christian cause is more than posturing it is a life of serving and giving from the heart out of Love for our King.
- [Sermon on the Mount - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/sermon-on-the-mount-pt-2-2/) - Matthew 5:1-16
- [Reflections - 10 Years of Ministry](https://liferoads.org/sermons/reflections-10-years-of-ministry/) - I can trust God - Psalm 20:7God has called me to preach His word - 2 Timothy 4:1-2The Lord is near to the brokenhearted - Psalm 34:18Don't be afraid - Joshua 1:9I love my church - 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20
- [How to Grow - Pt. 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/how-to-grow-pt-4/) - Throughout this series we have looked at 3 core habits of the Christian: reading Scripture, attending church, and today's topic, prayer. Prayer is not complicated; a young child can pray. But it can be difficult! No one feels like they are an expert at prayer. Everyone feels like they need to improve. Lets explore how to grow in our prayer lives.
- [How to Grow - Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/let-us/) - The author of Hebrews gives us four things to do as Christians. Let us draw near to God, hold fast, stir up love and meet together encouraging each other.
- [How to Grow - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/how-to-grow-pt-2/) - The spiritual discipline of reading Scripture, or doing devotions, is a major influence on how we grow. 2 Timothy tells us that Scripture is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.
- [How to Grow - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/how-to-grow-pt-1/) - As Christians, we want to emulate Jesus, but why is it that so often we don't act the way he would? The solution to this problem is in our identity and our training. Peter tells us that we have been given a new identity by the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Because of our new identity, we are encouraged to practice new habits.
- [Let There Be Light - Pt. 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/let-there-be-light-pt-4/) - Jesus is the light of the world. As His followers, we are also called salt and light. Just as the children's song says, we need to let our light shine in the darkness of this world.
- [Let There Be Light - Pt. 6](https://liferoads.org/sermons/let-there-be-light-pt-6/) - Exodus 3:13-15 Acts 2:1-4 2 Corinthians 4:5-7 Ephesians 5:1-13 Ephesians 5:13-21 Numbers 6:24
- [Let There Be Light - Pt. 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/let-there-be-light-pt-5/) - It's Christmas Eve. We celebrate the coming of the Light of the World in Jesus.
- [Let There Be Light - Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/let-there-be-light-pt-3/) - The light of God's word brings safety. it can keep us from falling, but it also tells us how to get back up if we do fall. It also gives guidance, enabling us to navigate this world. It also provides illumination as the Holy Spirit reveals wisdom in a way that is unique to each of us.
- [Let There Be Light - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/let-there-be-light-pt-2/) - Light brings a feeling of warmth. Even when it is cold outside, the sight of the sun can bring a feeling of warmth with it. Jesus is the Light of the world. He does not reflect the light like the moon does. He is the source of light like the sun!
- [Let There Be Light - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/let-there-be-light-pt-1/) - When the days are short, and it is the darkest time of the year, we do something interesting: we light everything up! God also brought light into the darkness in creation. He brought light forth simply by His word. The word of God is powerful, and the scale of His creation is immense. But He still wants to be involved in the smallest details in each of our lives. He wants to be able to exercise His creating power in our lives.
- [The Art and Science of Gratitude - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/the-art-and-science-of-gratitude-pt-2/) - Quite often we get the feeling of joy and gratitude in reverse order. We think that if we are feeling joy that it will make us grateful. This is backwards. We need to be grateful first, no matter the circumstances, and the feelings of joy will follow.
- [The Art and Science of Gratitude - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/the-art-and-science-of-gratitude-pt-1/) - Humans tend to notice the bad over the good. We tend to focus on the negative far more than the positive. We have all experience one negative word drowning out many positive words. Why is that? And how can we change our hearts so the negative doesn't outweigh the positive as much?
- [Going Public - Pt. 5](https://liferoads.org/sermons/going-public-pt-5/) - As Christians, we also have the opportunity to go public before authority figures. It is important to remember that authorities have been placed in the positions they have by God. We must therefore show proper honor and respect, regardless of whether we feel they deserve it or not.
- [Going Public - Pt. 4](https://liferoads.org/sermons/going-public-pt-4/) - There is a great temptation, because it is so easy, to design our lives so we have as little contact as possible with those who do not share our faith. As Christians, we often need to make a conscious effort to bring those who would not call themselves Christians into our sphere of influence. This week gives us some tips on how to do just that.
- [Going Public - Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/going-public-pt-3/) - Going public with our faith requires boldness. In the book of Acts, the apostles are shown to be bold witnesses for Christ. This week we explore the recipe for being bold in our witness. First is to have time with Jesus. Second is to be a part of a community. Third is to pray big prayers.
- [Going Public - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/going-public-pt-2/) - Jesus calls His followers to be the light of the world. He calls them to go out and make disciples. You don't have to have all the answers to all the questions before you go public with your faith. God has positioned you in someone's life that will only hear the gospel message from you. All you need to say is, "This is what happened to me!"
- [Going Public - Pt. 1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/going-public-pt-1/) - Do you have a private faith or a public faith? Our faith is supposed to be visible to all. It is supposed to be shared. Our faith needs to permeate our whole person because most people can't disconnect the "message" from "the messenger." This is why our lives have to reflect the message we are trying to communicate.
- [Believe, Belong, Become](https://liferoads.org/sermons/believe-belong-become/) - Romans 5:12-21 Romans 10:17 Psalms 16:11 John 17:3 Hebrews 10:24-25
- [Living Water](https://liferoads.org/sermons/living-water/) - Do you see people the way Jesus saw people? Do you find yourself looking to something or someone other than God to quench you spiritual thirst? Do you represent Jesus in fullness of grace and truth? Jesus portrayed the fullness of grace and truth, not a balance of the two, and it is important to understand the difference between these two ideas. We should be passionate because of experiencing Jesus.
- [24/6 The Rest of God - Pt. 3](https://liferoads.org/sermons/24-6-the-rest-of-god-pt-3/) - If anyone could justify not resting, it would be Jesus. He had three years to start a movement that would change the world. But He still chose to rest. We should follow His example.
- [24/6 The Rest of God - Pt. 2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/24-6-the-rest-of-god-pt-2/) - Creating a rhythm between work and rest is important. However, we must be sure that we do not confuse "rest" with "leisure." We can be just as out of balance by not working enough as we can by not resting enough. Sometimes the challenge is trusting God with our rest during the time of harvest.
- [24/6 The Rest of God - Pt.1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/24-6-the-rest-of-god-pt-1/) - Our culture is 24/7 pace; it doesn't work. We are designed to have margin. Declare freedom from this slavery and bring the Sabbath into your life and make it a day of joy. Be still and know that I am God.
- [Marvelous Faith](https://liferoads.org/sermons/marvelous-faith/) - When Jesus comes to His home town and some marveled at His teaching but some lacked in faith.

Hebrews 11 gives us a reflection of the faithful that "the world is not worthy". If the climax of the Bible is you and your faithful service to God, how does it read? Is it worthy?
- [Chapter 11 - Pt.1](https://liferoads.org/sermons/chapter-11-pt-1/) - As believers in Christ we are under Chapter 11 protection. We place our lives in the protection of Gods promises. What is faith? What is it not? What does faith do? Don't get trapped in today's false dichotomy of faith. Have a firm, settled, confidence in God's plans.
- [Chapter 11 - Pt.2](https://liferoads.org/sermons/chapter-11-pt-2/) - Hebrews 11:8-22 Hebrews 12:1-2
- [The Race - The Greater Coach](https://liferoads.org/sermons/the-race-the-greater-coach/) - Bloomsday weekend. We all run THE race. We need a greater coach. We need a King, a Savior.
- [Now What?](https://liferoads.org/sermons/now-what/) - Liferoads has made a big move. We moved buildings. Now What? First let’s ask, “Who are we?” We are rooted in the Bible as truth. We are Jesus is center. As Peter told Jesus, "To whom would we go? You have words of eternal life." Let us prayerfully consider what God is calling us to next - in bringing life abundant (Jn 10:10b).
- [Turn and Receive Grace](https://liferoads.org/sermons/turn-and-receive-grace/) - A crippled man is healed through Peter and he tells the crowd, "You have put to death the author of life, but God has raised Him [so repent and receive His grace]." This is a metaphor for us, crippled and in need of His healing. Turn to His grace.
- [Easter Service 2016](https://liferoads.org/sermons/easter-service-2016/) - Jesus could have said he had the power to resurrect Lazarus, but he said, "I am the resurrection and the life." What does it mean that Jesus IS THE Resurrection?
- [Signs of Life – Kindness](https://liferoads.org/sermons/signs-of-life-kindness/) - It isn't really about being kind, it is about being transformed into kindness. The fruit of the spirit are Gods traits. They develop together. Put on Jesus yoke of kindness and be transformed.
- [Signs of Life – Goodness](https://liferoads.org/sermons/signs-of-life-goodness-2/) - Everything that is good in your life comes from God. God IS good!
- [Signs of Life - Gentleness](https://liferoads.org/sermons/signs-of-life-gentleness/) - Words can hurt deeply and can heal beautifully. Gentleness or Meekness is power under control. Jesus had/has the power beyond the universe and his yoke is easy.
- [Signs of Life - Faithfulness](https://liferoads.org/sermons/signs-of-life-faithfulness/) - God is faithful. Even if we are faithless, He remains faithful. Maintain your allegiance with Him, trust Him
- [Renewed in Christ](https://liferoads.org/sermons/renewed-in-christ/) - A new year tends to bring new resolutions. But there is no renewal like the renewal in Christ. Humanism will fail us, what we need is a new heart. We need God to clean us and give us a new heart, to put His spirit in us.
- [Signs of Life – Patience](https://liferoads.org/sermons/signs-of-life-patience/) - Often out impatience is due to our table not matching up with Gods. Ultimately it could be a trust issue. Trust God, be patient. His timing is perfect.
- [Signs of Life - Peace](https://liferoads.org/sermons/408/) - The Apostle Paul gives us an action plan in Philippians 4 for what to do when peace is replaced with anxiety and how to cultivate an environment of peace.
- [Signs of Life - Love](https://liferoads.org/sermons/signs-of-life-love/) - The fruits of the Spirit grow slow and steady if we Abide in the Lord. An short exploration in the primary fruit ,Love.
- [Signs of Life – Joy](https://liferoads.org/sermons/signs-of-life-joy/) - Joy (Happiness) is such an important emotion for us. But it isn't the source. God is the source, Joy is the fruit. Let your joy be free of circumstances and be filled from the Lord. “The world is poor because her fortune is buried in the sky and all her treasure maps are of earth.” --Calvin Miller
- [Parable of the Rich Farmer](https://liferoads.org/sermons/parable-of-the-rich-farmer/) - Some times we focus too much on the material of this world when eternity lay before us. The rich farmer planned for his wealth, but he was wearing dead mans boots.
- [Influences of Scripture](https://liferoads.org/sermons/the-influences-of-scripture/) - Nine influences of reading scripture. Jesus went through infinite lengths to be with you , put in the effort to be with Him.
- [Earthly Tents](https://liferoads.org/sermons/earthly-tents/) - We need to keep in mind that we are earthly tents, temporary dwellings that will be packed up when we head home to Heaven. "So that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." But what we do in this world echos into eternity.
