What if everything God wants to do in your life has already been placed inside you—in seed form? In this powerful message, “Everything You Need Is in the Seed,” from the sermon series "SOIL AND SEED - KEYS TO THE KINGDOM," Pastor Chad Everett unpacks a timeless truth from God’s Word: when God wants something to grow, He starts with a seed.

Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your calling, this sermon will help you see the potential God has already placed within you. You’ll discover how the seed of Christ in you has the power to produce a harvest of righteousness, purpose, and lasting fruit—when it’s planted and nurtured.

You’ll discover how valuable your life truly is, what it means to be a new creation in Christ, and how to stop striving for identity and start living from it.

Are you feeling stuck in your faith—comfortable, but not fully alive? Do you sense God calling you forward, but something inside keeps holding back? In this bold and honest message, Blake Bradley exposes the subtle danger of spiritual passivity and self-centered Christianity. Drawing from the story of King David in 2 Samuel 11, Blake shows how easy it is to stay behind when we’re called to step up—and how that choice can lead to devastating consequences. But he also reveals the path back: a heart of repentance, a return to God’s presence, and a life marked by surrender. This message is for you if: * You’ve been battling temptation or spiritual drift * You’re ready to tear down the idol of self and say yes to God’s call * You want to leave a legacy that burns for Jesus * You’re hungry for more than surface-level Christianity This is a moment to examine who is truly on the throne of your heart. Is it Jesus—or the idol of self? Blake invites us to lay down passivity, pride, and marginal obedience in exchange

What if your life wasn’t meant to be just fruitful—but seed for something greater? In this message, you’ll be confronted with a choice that every follower of Jesus must make: Will you hold onto comfort, or will you lay down your life so that others might truly live? Jesus said, “Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces much grain.” This isn’t just a metaphor—it’s the invitation to surrender, sacrifice, and legacy. You’ll be challenged to rethink what it means to follow Christ, to love Him through obedience, and to carry the gospel with boldness in a world desperate for truth. This message will stir you. It will expose false gospels that settle for convenience. It will remind you that humility is more than an attitude—it’s obedience. And it will call you to live for something that actually matters: a life fully laid down for Jesus. If you’ve been searching for clarity, conviction, or confirmation, this is for you. Don’t just watch—respond. Let thi

In this powerful message, Greg Short unpacks the deeper meaning of the tabernacle and what it reveals about how we approach God today. Focusing on the bronze laver from Exodus 30 and Hebrews 8, Greg shares how the Word of God acts as our daily cleansing—removing the residue of the world and preparing us for God’s presence. His presence is everything. This message is a call to go beyond the altar of salvation and into the holy place—to be washed daily by the Word and transformed from the inside out. “You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it, for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it. When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a

Your soil matters more than you think. You’ve been hearing the Word, quoting scripture, maybe even planting seeds of faith. But if nothing’s growing, it’s time to check the soil. The problem isn’t always the seed—it’s where it’s landing. In this message, Pastor Chad Everett reveals the creative power of your spirit, the soil God designed to produce supernatural results. When the Word gets into your spirit—not just your mind—it will grow. That’s how the Kingdom of God works. This message will challenge you to: * Stop living from your formed part (your body and mind) * Start engaging your created part (your spirit—the real you) * Plant the Word deep in your heart and watch it multiply thirty, sixty, and one hundredfold Your spirit is not ordinary dirt. It was created by God to bring forth His purposes. But it can only produce when the Word is planted deep within it. It’s time to stop just hearing the Word and start growing it. https://theroads.church

“Everything you need—peace, wisdom, direction, comfort—is waiting. But you have to get quiet enough to receive it.” Prayer is not a burden—it’s a gift. A gift that doesn’t wear out, go out of style, or fade with time. But for many of us, it’s been left on the shelf. In this message, you’ll be invited to pick it up again. God has already provided what you’re searching for: Rest for your soul (Matthew 11 : 28) Direction for your life (Psalm 119 : 105) Peace that the world can’t give (John 14 : 27) Wisdom for every decision (Proverbs 2 : 6) It’s all in His Word. But the key is this: You must abide in Him through prayer. This isn’t a message to admire. It’s an invitation to act. Don’t wait for perfect conditions. Start today. Open your Bible. Open your heart. Put the distractions down and receive the gift of prayer. The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

“It is actually freedom to live fully submitted to whatever He says.” If God’s Word says it, we obey it. If God speaks, we respond—without delay. If Jesus gave everything, we give Him first place in our hearts. We walk in repentance, humility, and awe. Even when no one is watching, our lives should reflect the holiness of the One we follow. When we live to please ourselves, we become slaves to our own desires. But when we live to please the Lord, we walk in true liberty—the freedom to live fully alive, fully holy, and fully His. Let this message shake you. Examine your heart. Are you living to please the Lord or seeking comfort, affirmation, or permission to remain the same? God is holy. And He’s calling us higher.

You were never called to simply improve your life — you were called to die to yourself and be raised with Christ. Through the power of the cross, Jesus paid the debt we could never pay and stripped the enemy of his weapons, making a way for us to live fully alive in Him. "Until you're ready to die, you're not really ready to live." — Pastor Chad Everett In this message from Colossians 2 and 3, Pastor Chad challenges us to stop living for ourselves, bury the old life, and walk in the resurrection life Jesus offers. Learn what it means to truly die to sin, seek the things above, and set your mind on the life God has for you.

“The man in the middle makes the difference!” Proximity Is Not the Same as Relationship This moment speaks directly to us today. Many people are near Jesus — even in church, around Christian things — but not actually with Jesus. “You can be next to Jesus and still miss Him.” The man on the left died near Jesus, but not with Jesus. The man on the right died with Jesus, and woke up in paradise. Which criminal are we? This is the ultimate question. Are you the one who wants Jesus to save your life so you can keep it? Or are you the one who says, “I deserve death. Remember me.” Both criminals had the same opportunity. Both were the same distance from Jesus. Only one walked into eternity with Him. Jesus invites you to move from beside Him to with Him. He doesn’t force. He lets you choose. Will you surrender? Will you die to your old life? Will you let the man in the middle make the difference in your life today? The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

In this teaching on Luke 11, Chad Everett dives deep into Jesus' lesson on prayer—how it can be taught, learned, and applied with persistence. When the disciples asked, “Lord, teach us to pray,” Jesus not only gave them the model prayer (The Lord’s Prayer) but also shared a powerful parable about a friend knocking at midnight. Luke 18 continues the conversation, focusing on the character and nature of God. If we’re going to pray correctly, we must understand that God is not like the reluctant friend in bed or the unjust judge. Too many people see God as distant or unwilling, like someone who has bigger things to worry about than our everyday problems. That is not God! Jesus emphasizes that God is a good Father who wants us to come boldly and persistently to Him, trusting that He will answer our prayers.

Jeremiah Johnson from The Altar Global shares what heaven is saying for The Roads Church. God wants to raise up Gideon's army in Norris City, and over the cities connected to the ministry of The Roads Church. There are men and women who have counted themselves out do to their past, and God is saying to you today - 'Yes You, I choose You. You are mine. You are my beloved. I've not only forgiven your sins - I've forgot them.' God does not call the equipped. He equips those that He calls. God took Moses from "Who Am I" to "I AM" sent me. God is taking many from "Who Am I" to the "I AM" has sent me. Many are questioning who we are, familiar with the voices of accusation from the devil, instead of knowing who we are by the voice of affirmation from the voice of Father God. Father God loves You, and He has a plan for you. You're being called back to your heavenly identity that is connected to the Father.
