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

“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

When we receive Holy Spirit, we should expect to speak in tongues. Holy Spirit doesn't take over your tongue, but does tell you what to say, giving you the words to speak out of your mouth. We have to speak what He says. First - We are filled with the PERSON of HOLY SPIRIT. THEN - Holy Spirit tells us what to say. It's Holy Spirit's job to give us the "utterance," but it's our job to do the speaking. "While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days." Acts 10:44-48 SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49264907 The Roads Church: https://the roads.church
