What happens when ordinary people choose radical faith? Pastor Joshua Crouse continued our “Biblically Obscure” series with a message from 1 Samuel 14 centered on obscure faith. Through the story of Jonathan and his armor bearer, we’re reminded that faith still listens, willingness is enough, and sometimes God is just waiting on someone willing to move. Perhaps your faith could change more than you realize."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

This week, Pastor Joshua takes us back to our Biblically Obscure series. Through the story of Abigail in 1 Samuel 25, we see how godly wisdom steps into tense moments before they become destructive. This message explores how wisdom recognizes where emotions are leading, responds with humility, brings peace into conflict, and calls people higher instead of fueling escalation. One wise response can completely change the outcome of a situation. Listen in and discover how God can use wisdom to bring peace, direction, and restoration in the middle of life’s most difficult moments."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

This Mother's Day, Pastor Joshua shared a powerful message. Through the story of Leah, we’re reminded that God sees every unseen season, every silent struggle, and every moment that feels repetitive. This message speaks to anyone who’s been striving for approval, feeling overlooked, or wondering if their faithfulness still matters. Listen in and discover how praise can break the cycle of striving and how God often does His deepest work in the middle of the monotony."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

In Week 4 of Biblically Obscure, Pastor Joshua unpacks a powerful story from Numbers 27 that reminds us what bold faith really looks like. When something matters, faith doesn’t stay quiet, it steps forward, speaks up, and trusts God with the outcome.This message will challenge you to stop settling, stand with confidence, and bring what’s on your heart directly to God.

In each episode, we HIGHLIGHT our sermons and ministries to see how God is working in our church and community.In this episode of Highlighted, Paul and Pastor Joshua break down Sunday’s sermon and talk about obscure trust. Discussing how it is easy for us to try to handle things on our own, especially the small things. However, God is asking us to trust Him with all of our lives.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sometimes the things that feel small to everyone else can feel huge to us, and they matter to God too. This message reminds us that God often works in ordinary moments, unexpected losses, and situations that seem impossible to fix. Real breakthrough begins when we stop pretending, admit what’s missing, and invite God into the exact place where we feel stuck.If you’ve ever felt like something in your life was lost, too small to matter, or too far gone to recover, this message is a reminder that God is still able to lift what you cannot."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

In Week 2 of our Biblically Obscure series, Pastor Joshua dives into a powerful and unexpected moment in Judges 4 that challenges the way we think about courage.Through the story of Jael, we’re reminded that courage often shows up in moments we didn’t plan for, and usually don’t feel ready for. It begins when we recognize the opportunity God has placed right in front of us, even when it’s uncomfortable or unclear.This message walks through the tension we can’t avoid, the decision we all have to make, and the impact that can come from simple obedience. True courage isn’t loud or flashy. It stays when comfort wants to leave, chooses obedience over avoidance, and trusts God with the outcome.If you’ve ever wrestled with stepping out in faith or wondered if your small act of obedience really matters, this message is for you."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

Hebrews 10 reminds us that we don’t have to keep our distance anymore, we can come close, stand firm, and live with purpose. This message is an invitation to step in fully, to draw near to God, stay anchored in what’s true, and show up for the people around us.The veil has been torn.

Pastor Joshua continued our series, The Veil, with a powerful message. Looking at Jesus’ triumphal entry and what followed, this message challenges us to let God reveal what we’ve grown comfortable with, confront what’s taken His place, expose what we’re holding onto, and ultimately clear the way for His presence in our lives. This is a call to honest surrender and realignment with Him."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

Drawing from this Sunday’s message, they talk about ways in which we often find ourselves trying to please God, rather than fully living in His presence, and how can we give all of our worries over to him.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pastor Joshua continues our series The Veil with a powerful message calling us back to what matters most. Through Scripture, we see how God’s people slowly settled, substituted His presence for lesser things, and ultimately strayed. This message is a reminder that drift doesn’t happen all at once, but it always leads somewhere.If God isn’t first, something else will be. Let this message challenge you to refocus, realign, and pursue His presence again."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

In week three of our series The Veil, Pastor Joshua shares a powerful message titled “Cleaning House.” Looking at the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16, we see a picture of how God doesn’t just forgive sin, He removes it and makes a way for true cleansing.From the priest, to the place, to the people, every part of the process pointed to a deeper truth fulfilled in Jesus, our High Priest. We don’t come to God because we’ve already cleaned ourselves up, we come because He is the one who makes us clean. And when Jesus carries our sin away, we don’t have to keep carrying it.This message is a reminder that God cares about the house He lives in, and through Christ, He’s still in the business of making things new."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

In week two of our series “The Veil,” Pastor Joshua showed us how looking at the design of the Old Testament tabernacle, we see how the veil separated people from the fullness of God’s presence. It wasn’t a sign of rejection, but a boundary of mercy, showing both God’s holiness and humanity’s need for redemption.As we walk through the Outer Court, the Holy Place, and the Most Holy Place, we discover a powerful picture of the journey toward God and the barrier that once stood in the way.The good news is that through Jesus Christ, the veil has been torn and the way into God’s presence has been opened."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

In each episode, we HIGHLIGHT our sermons and ministries to see how God is working in our church and community.In this episode of Highlighted, Paul and Pastor Joshua explore the idea of presence. Starting in the garden and moving to now, they uncover real, practical ways we can experience the presence of God, and talk about why it’s important in our everyday lives.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We kicked off our brand new series “The Veil” this Sunday, a journey from separation to presence.In this message, Pastor Joshua takes us back to the very beginning in Genesis 3 to uncover the first separation between humanity and the presence of God. What started as presence enjoyed in the Garden quickly became presence avoided, feared, replaced, and lost. But the story doesn’t end there. From the moment sin created distance, God began pursuing. What was lost in the Garden is restored through Jesus. Because of Him, the veil is no longer a barrier, it’s been torn, and we can draw near with confidence."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

In each episode, we HIGHLIGHT our sermons and ministries to see how God is working in our church and community.In this episode of Highlighted, Paul and Pastor Joshua take us to the core of our Kingdom Core Values and talk about why we matter to God. As we wrapped up our series on Sunday, we were challenged with carrying these values with us as disciples of Christ, because we matter, and so do other people. In a world where our value is placed in who we are, what our title is, or what we can offer, we often find ourselves discouraged and undervaluing ourselves. However, God says that we are His children, and when our value is rooted in what He says about us rather than what we might say about ourselves, our perspective begins to shift and the way we live our life changes.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the final week of our Kingdom Minded series, Pastor Joshua Crouse challenges us to live lives that truly carry Kingdom value.Looking at Nehemiah, we see how the people of God made a public commitment to Him and to one another. They didn’t just feel conviction, they acted on it. They bound themselves to God and His people, reordered every area of their lives around God’s Word and His presence, and took responsibility for the House of God.This message reminds us that Kingdom-minded living isn’t passive. It’s intentional. It’s visible. It’s costly. Carrying Kingdom value means aligning our priorities, relationships, resources, and responsibilities with what matters most to God."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa Hosted on Acast.

This Sunday we jumped back into our Kingdom Minded series as Pastor Baba brought a powerful message titled “Constant Through the Change.” We were reminded that while seasons shift and circumstances change, God’s purposes remain steady.In a world that never seems to slow down, this message challenges us to stay anchored in Christ, live faithfully right where God has placed us, and allow Him to shape our hearts along the way. Real kingdom change doesn’t just happen around u, it happens within us, and we’re called to walk it out together as a community.If you’ve been navigating transition, growth, or uncertainty, this word will encourage you to stay focused, stay faithful, and trust that God is constant through it all."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroalifechurchroa.org Hosted on Acast.

This Sunday, we took a pause from our Kingdom Minded series for a powerful and timely message from Pastor Luke Yoder titled “Check Your Mixture.” Pastor Luke challenged us to take an honest look at our lives and ask a crucial question: Is what I’m offering to God pure—or is it mixed? In a world filled with compromised motives, blurred moral lines, and hidden struggles, this message calls believers back to the essential journey of holiness.If you’re longing for deeper intimacy with God, clarity in your walk, or a renewed passion for holiness, this message is for you.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pastor Joshua was back this Sunday as we continued our Kingdom Minded series with a message called “Echoes.” In this sermon, he challenged us to think about what it really looks like to coach Kingdom replication—not just passing on information, but shaping lives that reflect Jesus and multiply faith in others.Drawing from Nehemiah 8, Pastor Joshua unpacked the importance of teaching God’s Word clearly and faithfully, addressing hearts with both truth and grace, and calling people into obedient, lived-out faith. The message also pointed us toward establishing repeatable, intentional practices that help build lasting spiritual impact. Anchored in Matthew 28:18–20, Echoes reminds us that the Kingdom is meant to be shared, reproduced, and carried forward through everyday faithfulness.If you’re hungry to live with purpose and help others follow Jesus well, this message is for you."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroalifechurchroa.org Hosted on Acast.

This week, Pastor Sarah preached as we gathered online only due to the snowstorm. Continuing our Kingdom Minded series, she challenged us to cast Kingdom vision by staying faithful to God’s calling over the long haul. Teaching from Nehemiah 6 and Matthew 4, Pastor Sarah reminds us to keep saying “yes” to God—despite distractions, opposition, or changing circumstances—and to remain focused on what God has called us to build."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroalifechurchroa.org Hosted on Acast.

In Week 4 of our Kingdom Minded series, Pastor Baba challenges us to slow down, listen well, and let our hearts reflect the Kingdom of God. Through passages like Nehemiah 5:6–13 and John 13:1–17, we’re reminded that true Kingdom living isn’t just what we believe—it’s how we treat people. This message calls us to put others before ourselves, choose compassion over comfort, and embrace a lifestyle of serving like Jesus."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroalifechurchroa.org Hosted on Acast.

We continued our Kingdom Minded series with Week 3 as Pastor Joshua preached a message called “The Courage to Stay.” Drawing from Nehemiah 4:1–14, this week reminded us that trust in God is often tested in the moments where fear and fatigue start to multiply. Instead of pulling away, Nehemiah shows us what it looks like to stay connected, stay grounded, and stay focused on who God is, rather than rehearsing the fear around us. When we remember the Lord, we find the courage to keep going, keep building, and keep trusting, even when the pressure rises."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroalifechurchroa.org Hosted on Acast.

We continued our Kingdom Minded series with Week 2, where Pastor Joshua preached a powerful message called “Built by Faithfulness.” Centered around Nehemiah 2–3, this week reminded us that living a Kingdom-minded life isn’t built in big moments, it’s built through steady, faithful obedience in the everyday. Nehemiah’s example shows us that God uses what we have, where we are, and who we’re becoming to build something bigger than ourselves."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroalifechurchroa.org Hosted on Acast.

We just kicked off our brand new series Kingdom Minded, and Pastor Joshua opened it by preaching from Nehemiah.

This week, Pastor Joshua continued our Holy and Whole series with a deeply refreshing message on what it means to truly rest. Teaching from 1 Kings 19:5–8 (NLT), he reminded us that rest isn’t something we earn after everything is finished — it’s something God designed us to need.Through Elijah’s story, we see a God who steps into our exhaustion, feeds what life has drained, and gently prepares us for what’s ahead. Pastor Joshua invited us to let go of the things we’ve been carrying on our own, to open our hearts to what we’ve been missing, and to reconnect with God’s presence in a real and restoring way.As we learn to release, receive, and trust, we discover that rest isn’t just about slowing down — it’s about becoming strengthened for the journey God is leading us into."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroalifechurchroa.org Hosted on Acast.
