Church On the Move: Roswell

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!

This Church on the Move Roswell message continues a series on spiritual warfare strategy, emphasizing that Satan's primary tactic is deception and that believers must combat lies with God's truth.Pastor Troy Smothermon reviews key weapons God gives—authority in Jesus' name, resisting the devil, speaking God's Word, and walking in the Spirit—and focuses on Ephesians 6:10–18, teaching that the battle is not against people but against spiritual forces. He explains each piece of God's armor—belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit (the Word of God)—and urges listeners to put it on daily, stand on Christ's victory, speak Scripture, and pray.

In this podcast Pastor Troy Smothermon continues a series on prayer by focusing on intercessory prayer—standing in the gap for others—and urges believers to pray with passion, persistence, and urgency because God often waits for His people to pray before moving. He challenges men to lead their homes spiritually, highlights the power of agreement in prayer, and calls the church to pray for the Roswell-to-Artesia valley, the state of New Mexico, and even nations God places on their hearts. Using examples from Abraham's intercession for Sodom, watchmen in Isaiah, and the church's constant prayer for Peter in Acts, he teaches that intercession invites God into situations, should include praying God's promises and protection, and is an act of love that shifts focus from self to others.

On this episode of In The Room we have Pastor Shawn, Jonah, and Pastor Marco discussing “clogged pipelines” that keep prayers from being effective, prompting a heart check for issues like rebellion, unforgiveness, wrong motives, and unrepented sin. They emphasize prayer as essential to relationship with God and reference John 16:24 about asking in Jesus' name. Jonah shares how God quickly provided a reliable car after a breakdown, highlighting gratitude and contentment, while Pastor Marco recalls his daughter's illness and the encouragement of church intercession. The group explains general prayer, supplication, and intercessory prayer, stresses praying together, and talks about trusting God's timing, including when the answer is “no.” Thank you all for joining us, have a blessed day!

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches spiritual strategy for overcoming the enemy's tactics, emphasizing that Satan uses lies, thoughts, and tragedy to gain influence, but believers have authority in Jesus' name to resist and cast out demonic forces. He warns against blaming everything on demons while encouraging discernment, and explains that resisting the devil means submitting to God and using Jesus' name so the enemy will flee. He highlights Scripture as a weapon, showing how Jesus answered temptation with “It is written,” and teaches that truth destroys deception and strongholds. He urges believers to walk in the Spirit, not the flesh, and avoid giving the devil a foothold.

This Church on the Move Roswell podcast Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches that God desires answered prayer so believers' joy may be full, and introduces types of prayer from 1 Timothy 2:1—supplications (specific requests), general prayers, and especially intercession, defined as standing in the gap to bring others' needs before God and joining Jesus' ongoing intercession (Hebrews 7:25) by praying the Word and praying in the Spirit. The speaker explains “clogs” that hinder prayer, including unforgiveness (Mark 11:25; Matthew 6:14–15), doubt, not asking, wrong motives (James 4:2–3), mistreating a spouse (1 Peter 3:7), and cherished sin (Psalm 66:18; John 9:31).

Josh hosts Pastor Tim and Reed on this weeks In The Room podcast to discuss Pastor Troy's second week of “The Power of Prayer,” highlighting 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to explain that praying without ceasing is constant connection with God, not constant talking. They emphasize praying with authority rooted in God's love, faith, and relationship, encouraging immediate, conversational prayer and greater specificity rather than vague intentions.The team discusses how prayer flows from relationship, faith, and the authority believers have through God's love. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, they encourage believers to pray immediately and conversationally, much like texting a friend throughout the day.If you've ever wondered how to develop a more natural, powerful, and consistent prayer life, this conversation will encourage and equip you.

In this sermon Pastor Troy Smothermon connects the story of Esther in ancient Persia (modern Iran) to current events and emphasizes that natural conflicts have spiritual implications. He teaches that believers must recognize the reality of the spiritual world, identify Satan as the real enemy, and refuse fear, calling fear a spirit not from God. Citing Colossians 2:15, Luke 10:19, Romans 16:20, James 4:7, and 1 Peter 5:8–9, he explains that Jesus has already defeated demonic powers and has given Christians authority to enforce that victory by submitting to God and resisting the devil so he will flee. He warns against deception, independence from God, and media that magnifies evil.

On the In the Room podcast, Reed is joined by Jacob and Pastor Marco to discuss Pastor Troy's recent series on the Holy Spirit, focusing on preparation and daily readiness. The conversation covers practical rhythms like morning gratitude, prayer, and Scripture, building intimacy with God, and discerning God's voice through relationship, identity in Christ, and confirmation through God's Word and trusted believers. They address moving from hesitation to openness, emphasize cooperation and surrender, and describe evidence of transformation in everyday life. 

This week Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches that we are commanded to “pray without ceasing,” praying throughout the day with sincere, heartfelt dependence on God and persistence that refuses to give up. Thank you all for listening and have a blessed day!

Through powerful Scripture and real-life examples, he highlights how unity, consistency, and faithful service allow God to work in us and through us to make an eternal difference.Pastor Troy emphasizes that every person matters, every role is essential, and every act of obedience, no matter how small, is seen by God and stored as treasure in heaven. Like a relay race, when we run our part well, we help others finish strong. When we serve together, unity multiplies impact and points people to Jesus.This message is a call to remain committed, serve with all our hearts, and never give up—because together, we truly make a difference.

Grace is more than forgiveness, it is God's ongoing work in our lives.In the final message of our Grace series, we explore how grace not only saves us, but teaches, transforms, and sustains us, even in the darkest seasons. Using the analogy of a GPS that never stops working, this sermon reminds us that God's grace continues to guide us when we feel lost, delayed, or overwhelmed.This message unpacks the biblical truth that grace is not a license to sin, but a power to live a holy, surrendered life. As we close this series, the invitation is simple: embrace God's grace, walk by faith, and surrender fully to Jesus, trusting that His grace is sufficient and His mercy never fails.

Grace is more than a lifeline thrown into a pit, it's God stepping into the mess with us, lifting us up, restoring what was broken, and leading us into a new future. In today's message, Pastor Troy reminds us that if we want to know how grace treats people, we simply look at Jesus.If you're walking through shame, brokenness, or uncertainty, this message is a reminder that God's grace is not avoiding you, it's coming toward you!

We talk about what grace truly is, why understanding matters, and how grace always leads us out of darkness and into new life.We explore how Jesus came to reveal God's heart, why grace has to be freely given and freely received, and how embracing grace changes the way we treat others.
