In this message from Church on the Move Roswell,Pastor Troy Smothermon continues his “lighthouse” series, teaching that God desires believers to prosper in all things and be in health as their soul prospers (3 John 1:2). Using the faithful, often unseen work of lighthouse keepers, he emphasizes guarding the heart, keeping the inner life aligned with God’s Word, and rejecting the world’s definition of success that can leave people empty. He shares his own experience of outward achievement but inner darkness before meeting Jesus, and encourages practical meditation on Scripture (Joshua 1:8)—speaking God’s Word, muttering it day and night, and recalibrating throughout the day—so believers develop peace, endurance through storms, and become a light to others. The service closes with prayer and an invitation to surrender to Jesus.

On this episode of the In the Room podcast, Josh, Pastor Marco, and Jean discuss Pastor Troy’s miniseries The Lighthouse, focusing on biblical prosperity as more than finances and defined as being led on a good path. A sermon clip urges listeners not to make major decisions in a storm and to renew the mind with God’s Word rather than acting out of hurt or anger. Jean and Pastor Marco describe what it means to be a lighthouse—rooted, steady, and shining hope to guide others—and share personal examples, including family and the church as sources of light in dark seasons. The conversation highlights meditating on Scripture, taking thoughts captive, and practicing intentional obedience until it becomes natural and joyful, ending with a challenge to read the Bible for 10 minutes each morning and reflect on one verse throughout the day, plus an invitation to surrender or return to Jesus in prayer.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches that God finishes what He starts (Philippians 1:6) and calls believers to trust Him when the process feels like it’s moving away from the promise. Using Apollo 13 as an illustration, the pastor explains how unexpected turns can be the very route to God’s intended destination. He highlights biblical examples—David’s years on the run, Joseph’s pit-to-prison journey, and Abraham and Sarah waiting for Isaac—showing that preparation comes before promotion and God values character over comfort. He notes that even Jesus submitted to a long process of growth (Luke 2:52) and trials, and that God works in stages (Mark 4:26–29). The message warns against complaining, shortcuts, and comparison, and ends with an invitation to surrender to Jesus in prayer.

In this Church on the Move Roswell podcast Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches that biblical prosperity and success are not defined by titles or possessions but by a soul anchored in God’s Word. Using 3 John 1:2 and Joshua 1:8, Pastor Troy explains that true prosperity is a God-guided journey (“euodoo”) leading to a good destination, and “good success” (sakol) means wisdom, insight, and prudent living. A lighthouse metaphor illustrates standing firm through storms—economic and cultural—while shining hope to others. The message emphasizes that soul prosperity comes first and influences health and external life, urging listeners to renew their minds, submit their will to God, and stabilize emotions by daily meditating on Scripture.

In this episode of the In the Room podcast we continue with Pastor Troy’s sermon on the fear of the Lord, beginning with a service clip illustrating how God “chisels away” what doesn’t belong to reveal His beauty in us. Reed explains that fearing the Lord is not being terrified of God but living with reverence, honor, awe, and humility, contrasting this with a culture of self-exaltation. Naomi shares how respect for godly authority invites correction and growth, while Jonah describes a reverent fear rooted in God’s unconditional love and the recognition that God’s ways oppose worldly culture. The conversation covers salvation as a gift of grace and “working it out” by cooperating with the Holy Spirit through daily obedience, small steps of faith, and practicing the fruits of the Spirit.

In this Church on the Move Roswell podcast message, Pastor Troy introduces a three-part series titled “Trust the Process: How God Shapes Us Before He Blesses Us or Uses Us,” beginning with why God uses a process, grounded in Philippians 1:6. Using NASA astronaut training and house-building analogies, he teaches that promotion without preparation is dangerous, and that God values lasting character over comfort and speed. He describes stages people face (beginning, middle grind, near breakthrough) and urges listeners to ask what God is teaching rather than why it’s taking so long, emphasizing perseverance through trials (Romans 8:29; James 1:2–4). Biblical examples include Joseph, David, Abraham, Noah, and Moses, showing preparation before promotion.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches from Philippians 2:12–13 that believers don’t work for salvation but work out what God has given through grace, cooperating with the Holy Spirit who provides desire and strength without forcing obedience. Pastor Troy explains that fearing the Lord means taking God seriously, trusting Jesus as the only way, and living with eternity in view, including the reality of heaven, hell, and judgment. Using illustrations of sculpting, everyday selfishness, and the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, he urges Christians to let God “chisel away” what doesn’t belong so they shine brighter in a darker world. He outlines results of the fear of the Lord—knowing who God is, humility, and joyful obedience—and ends with a call to surrender to Jesus in prayer for first-time or returning commitment.

Pastor Shawn welcomes Logan and Pastor Billy and discuss a clip from Chad’s recent sermon describing fear as a demonic spirit meant to disqualify believers and stop them from God’s purpose. They reflect on Chad’s experience rescuing people in wartime situations and his point that everyday responsibilities—like fatherhood and leading nonprofits—can feel just as frightening. Logan shares how overcoming fear during an altar call led him back to God and into serving at the church, while Pastor Billy recounts facing intense fear through dozens of surgeries and becoming an amputee, learning to trust God repeatedly. The conversation frames fear as the enemy’s weapon that paralyzes or delays obedience, contrasts fear with faith using scriptures (Philippians 4:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, Joshua 1:9), and ends with a prayer inviting listeners to accept Jesus and find freedom from fear.

In this episode of the Church on the Move Roswell podcast, Pastor Tim Aguilar introduces a message from Ephesians and invites listeners to engage with prayers and key points from Scripture. He provides historical context from Acts 19 about Paul’s time in Ephesus, describing how the city was disrupted by the gospel, including a riot and a dramatic account of the seven sons of Sceva attempting to cast out demons using Jesus’ name without a genuine relationship with Him, resulting in their defeat. Emphasizing that spiritual authority comes from relationship with Jesus.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, guest speaker Chad Robichaux shares his lifelong struggle with fear and explains that God commands believers to be strong and courageous, citing scriptures like Joshua 1:9 and the Bible’s repeated “do not fear.” Drawing from his Force Recon and special operations experience, he recounts the Afghan evacuation efforts that formed Task Force 68, rescuing Aziz, his family, and 17,000 others, and describes the chaos and tragedy at the Kabul airport, including the suicide bombing that killed 13 service members. He later details a terrifying Tajikistan border mission to help women and children escape via the Panjshir River. He teaches that fear is Satan’s primary weapon, faith is the counterattack, and Jesus’ courage at Gethsemane and Calvary is the ultimate model, closing with an invitation to begin or renew a relationship with Christ.
