In this message, Pastor Troy Smothermon compares unchanging natural laws like gravity and breathing to God’s dependable spiritual laws, focusing on the law of sowing and reaping. Using Genesis 8:22 and Galatians 6:7, he teaches that what you sow is what you reap, every seed produces after its kind, and harvest is multiplied. He urges listeners to stop blaming chance, examine the “seed” behind their current “harvest” in relationships, work, and character, and repent by changing what they plant. He also emphasizes the time gap between sowing and reaping, calling for faith and patience (Ecclesiastes 3, James 5, Galatians 6:9, Hebrews 6:12).

This week Josh welcomes Pastor Darius and Miss Naomi, they share their backgrounds, callings, and passion for youth ministry. Darius recounts growing up in Artesia, New Mexico, giving his life to Jesus and feeling called to ministry at 13, later pursuing semi-pro soccer with New Mexico United before leaving it after sensing God calling him back into ministry. Naomi shares making her faith her own at eight after losing her grandmother, sensing a call to ministry in fifth grade through a speaking competition, and later attending Bible college in Dallas where she met Darius. They discuss why youth ministry matters, connecting with students, recent youth events, summer camp, and Darius prays for listeners to answer God’s call, followed by camp sign-up info and a plug for Pastor Troy’s new sowing-and-reaping series.

This message continues a series on spiritual warfare, emphasizing that believers are not defeated unless they quit and that resistance often signals forward movement. Pastor Troy Smothermon explains three enemies Christians face—the devil, the world’s system opposed to God, and the internal flesh—and reviews how to discern flesh-driven habits from strategic demonic pressure. He teaches a framework called “BOW” (Belief, Obey, Worship): faith is the first weapon that resists the enemy’s attacks on identity and belief; obedience keeps believers aligned and positioned to stand; and worship determines what wins by refusing to bow to fear, pressure, temptation, or the world.

Join us as Pastor Troy shares a special Good Friday message.

Pastor Troy Smotherman teaches that Palm Sunday shows God keeps precise promises, that praise is mandatory and ushers in God’s presence, and that Jesus rode into Jerusalem knowing what awaited him while still coming to bring peace and salvation.

On this episode of the In The Room podcast, Naomi, Pastor Billy, and Reed, discuss Pastor Troy’s conclusion to his Power of Prayer series, emphasizing that gratitude is the seed of increase and that breakthroughs can come through thanking God for what He has already done, including unseen protection. They reflect on how comfort can reduce thankfulness, and highlight 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18. The conversation explores why people default to complaining, the power of the tongue, taking responsibility, and how gratitude can counter anxiety by focusing on what God has given. They encourage practicing thanksgiving in small trials, discuss discipline through endurance experiences.

This Church on the Move Roswell message continues a series on spiritual warfare, emphasizing that after putting on the armor of God believers must pray with consistency and persistence. Using Israel’s battles as spiritual examples, Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches that some battles end while others return, urging endurance and refusal to quit. He recounts praying for his son’s recurring ear infections and stresses that victory requires both spiritual intercession and practical action, and that isolation weakens while community support strengthens. In Exodus 17, Moses lifting the rod and being supported by Aaron and Hur illustrates lifting up Jesus, relying on the Rock, and needing others to hold up weary hands. Amalek is described as attacking the weak and stragglers, connected to broader themes involving Saul’s disobedience, Esther’s story, Persia/Iran, and Daniel’s “Prince of Persia,” leading to a call for fasting, prayer, and filling spiritual voids with the Holy Spirit.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches on the prayer of thanksgiving as a continual sacrifice of praise and a lifestyle that changes everything. Using Hebrews, 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Colossians 3:15, Philippians 4:6–7, and other passages, he explains that thanksgiving aligns believers with God’s will, shifts perspective away from lack and complaining, and unlocks peace that guards the heart and mind. He warns that complaining leads to bitterness and entitlement, citing Israel’s wilderness complaints, and urges intentional remembrance like David in Psalm 103. He also teaches that gratitude brings multiplication, referencing Jesus feeding the 5,000 and the thankful healed leper in Luke 17.

On this episode of the In the Room podcast, Jonah is joined by Maddie and Amaya to discuss Pastor Troy’s part four message, “There’s Power in Prayer,” focusing on intercessory prayer as an act of love and a way to become more like Jesus, the ultimate intercessor. They talk about praying like it’s all up to you while trusting God like it’s all up to Him, recognizing when someone comes to mind as an invitation to pray, and how prayer matures when it moves from self-focused to praying for others—including enemies—by redirecting complaint and criticism into prayer. Thank you all for listening and have a blessed day!
