Podcasts about Pastor Troy

Pastor Troy Dobbs continues in Hebrews with the book's first command: pay much closer attention to Jesus and the gospel. Hebrews 2:1–4 warns that spiritual drift is a real danger, neglect has serious consequences, and no one escapes God's by ignoring His great salvation. Pastor Troy explains that drift rarely begins with open rebellion; it grows through small distractions, careless habits, and a loss of intentionality. Yet the answer is not simply to fear drifting, but to look again at what believers have in Christ. Salvation was declared by Jesus, confirmed by eyewitnesses, and authenticated by God. Pastor Troy encourages believers to examine their direction, establish practical anchors in Scripture and prayer, remove distractions, and renew their attention to the glorious Savior who made provision for sin.

In 2 Corinthians 7:2–16, Paul shows how loving confrontation can become a means of healing. Pastor Troy examines the difference between worldly grief and godly grief, why genuine repentance is evidence of God's work in us, and how repentance can lead to restored relationships and joy.  The post Wounds That Heal (2 Corinthians 7:2-16) appeared first on Lookout Valley Baptist Church.

On the In The Room podcast, Pastor Darius, Naomi, and Bri break down Pastor Troy's core values message “It Starts at Home,” emphasizing that your family is your first ministry and that private ministry at home comes before public ministry. Using Joshua 24:15, they talk about declaring that your household will serve the Lord and giving your family your best through intentionality, communication, and reordered priorities, including praying over your home. They explore Deuteronomy 6:6–7 and the idea that “faith is not taught, it's caught,” explaining why modeling matters more than words and how consistency gives credibility. They also address loving like Jesus (Ephesians 5:25), avoiding keeping score, leaning on each other's strengths without competition, and remembering a spouse adds to life but doesn't complete it—Jesus does. The episode closes with a call to pray, reconcile, and an invitation to begin or renew a relationship with Jesus.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon begins a series on overcoming, using John 16:33 to teach that peace is found in Christ even though believers will face trouble. Pastor Troy emphasizes Jesus as the victorious overcomer who conquered sin and death, urging listeners to keep joy and trust God under pressure. He explains that obstacles don't always mean you're off course, citing Israel at the Red Sea and Moses' command to “go forward” before the sea parted. Practical points include controlling what you can control—especially your response and your words—rather than trying to control other people or circumstances. He stresses daily preparation through the living, powerful Word of God, which shapes motives, builds faith, and helps believers overcome hardship. The message closes with an invitation to surrender to Jesus and a salvation prayer.

We didn't start this race, and we're not running it alone. As New Life Church celebrates 100 years, Pastor Troy challenges us to fix our eyes on Jesus, run with perseverance, and faithfully carry the baton into the next generation.

Pastor Troy Dobbs continues in Hebrews by showing why Jesus is not merely the best among angels—He is in an entirely different category. Hebrews 1:4–14 declares that Jesus has the superior name, honor, position, example, nature, and authority. Angels are created servants who worship and carry out God's purposes, but Jesus is the eternal Creator, righteous King, and enthroned Son who alone saves. Drawing from seven Old Testament passages, Pastor Troy explains that Scripture itself testifies to Christ's supremacy and unchanging nature. He warns that spiritual drift begins when we believe money, relationships, success, sin, or anything else is better than Jesus. Because there is no upgrade from Christ, believers can find their security, identity, and salvation in Him and refuse to treat Him as second best.

In 2 Corinthians 6:14–7:1, Pastor Troy examines what it means to be wholly devoted to Christ. Through the picture of an unequal yoke, Paul challenges believers to consider who and what is determining the direction of their lives. Ultimately, biblical holiness isn’t merely about what we separate from, but about pursuing the presence of God […] The post Holy Devoted to You (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1) appeared first on Lookout Valley Baptist Church.

On this episode of the In The Room podcast, Jonah, Madi, and Amaya discuss Pastor Troy's third church core value, “It Starts at Home,” centered on Joshua 24:15 and the call to choose to serve the Lord today. They reflect on not outsourcing Holy Spirit leadership, letting Jesus—not a spouse—complete you, and making your home your first ministry by serving those closest to you. Jonah shares lessons from marriage and parenting, including serving even after a long day and building a household around Jesus for victory through obstacles. The group talks about learning from parents, patience and self-discipline, out-serving one another, praying over a future spouse, and Ephesians 5:22–28 on submission and sacrificial love. The episode closes with an invitation to receive Jesus and a preview of part four of the Core Value series.

Pastor Troy Dobbs begins the book of Hebrews by inviting believers to see Jesus more clearly and majestically. In Hebrews 1:1-3, Jesus is revealed as God's final Word, the heir and creator of all things, the radiance of God's glory, the exact imprint of His nature, and the One who sustains the universe. He is also the perfect High Priest and sacrifice who purified sin once for all and now reigns at God's right hand. Because Jesus is fully God, believers can give Him their complete allegiance and confidence. His finished work secures forgiveness, removes condemnation, and offers peace in the middle of chaos. Pastor Troy encourages believers to rest in Christ and grow in their vision of Him, trusting that the One who holds the universe together can hold their lives together too.

Pastor Troy Dobbs explains why Grace Church exists: to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ across the street and around the world. From Matthew 28:18-20, he shows that Jesus gives the church its authority, command, scope, process, and sustaining promise. Discipleship is more than helping someone say yes to Jesus; it means helping people follow, learn from, and obey Him for a lifetime. Pastor Troy challenges believers to reflect God's greatness in everyday life, share the gospel with the people already around them, and remain engaged in God's work among all nations. He encourages the church to move from merely stating its mission to living it with courage, faithfulness, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

The gospel doesn’t simply make us better versions of ourselves. It makes us new. In 2 Corinthians 5:16–6:2, Pastor Troy explains five ways our lives are transformed in Christ: we become a new creation through regeneration, receive a new condition through reconciliation, are given a new commission as Christ’s representatives, receive His righteousness, and are […] The post A Whole New You!

On this episode of the In the Room podcast, Josh, Braden and Logan discuss Pastor Troy's message in the core values series on the renamed value “Only One Truth,” rooted in John 17:17: “Your word is truth.” They explain the Bible as the fixed benchmark that doesn't shift with culture, contrasting it with common changing benchmarks like feelings and popular opinion. Using imagery like building on a solid foundation rather than sand, they talk about how God's unchanging truth brings identity, freedom, security, and something to pass on to future generations. They emphasize that believing Scripture isn't enough—Hebrews 4:2 calls believers to mix the Word with faith through action, letting it shape everyday decisions. The episode ends with John 14:6 and a prayer inviting listeners to follow Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life.

Jonah, Bri, and Josh discuss Pastor Troy's new core values sermon series, focusing on the first value: loving God, people, and nothing else, based on Matthew 22:37–40. They reflect on a sermon clip about the freedom of stopping “scorekeeping” in relationships and trusting that God notices and repays. The conversation highlights how people overcomplicate following God, using an Instagram example of Brian Guan's “Faithless Christianity” challenge involving prayer, reading Scripture, gratitude, and application, which led to noticeable life change and increased kindness. They talk about how receiving God's love enables healthy self-love and genuine love for others, how love is often watered down culturally, and how making love your “why” sustains consistency beyond motivation. The episode closes with an invitation prayer to meet Jesus and service times.

Pastor Troy Dobbs concludes the Acts series by tracing Paul's journey from Malta to house arrest in Rome. Though Paul faces a shipwreck, a snakebite, and physical confinement, he trusts God's providence and continues telling everyone who comes to him about Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God. Pastor Troy explains that Paul's chains did not cancel his calling; they became the setting for faithful witness and deeper impact. Acts ends without resolving Paul's personal story because the gospel mission is still moving forward. Believers are not simply observers of the early church but active participants in that unfinished work. Pastor Troy encourages Christians to leverage their limitations, value substance over spectacle, and persist with courage, endurance, and consistency as they share the gospel wherever God has placed them.

In 2 Corinthians 5:1–10, Paul shows how an eternal perspective changes the way Christians live today. Pastor Troy examines our doctrinal foundation- our temporary earthly bodies and future with Christ- before turning to the devoted application of walking by faith through courage, relationship with Christ, and Christ-honoring conduct. Finally, Paul points us toward a coming […] The post Living in Light of Eternity (2 Corinthians 5:1-10) appeared first on Lookout Valley Baptist Church.

Tim Aguilar hosts Jacob and Madi on the In the Room podcast to discuss Pastor Troy's recent “lighthouse” message and 3 John 1:2 about prospering in all things as the soul prospers. They reflect on learning what prosperity means, including mental, emotional, physical, relational, and financial health, and share practical ways to keep their “light” burning through consistent time with God, worship, and Scripture rather than distractions. The conversation contrasts chasing crowd approval with soul prosperity, explores ambition versus discontent, and emphasizes claiming God's inheritance and asking “good what ifs.” Jacob and Madi share key Scriptures that helped them through seasons, and Tim closes by inviting listeners to begin or return to a relationship with Jesus through a simple prayer of salvation.

Pastor Troy Dobbs continues through Acts 27, tracing Paul's dangerous voyage to Rome and the shipwreck that threatened everyone aboard. He explains that storms, poor decisions, and structural failure could not overturn God's promise that Paul would stand before Caesar and every life would be preserved. When everything the travelers trusted was stripped away, God's Word remained unshaken. Pastor Troy shows how difficult journeys reveal human weakness and God's strength, display His power before watching people, and prove that a messy landing can still be a divine victory. He encourages believers to resist their own escape plans, stay anchored to Scripture, and trust God through loss and uncertainty. Even when the ship is gone, God remains faithful, advances the gospel, and keeps His Word.

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 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.

Pastor Troy explores Paul's trials before Festus and King Agrippa, showing how God can transform false accusations, political corruption, imprisonment, and suffering into opportunities to testify about Jesus Christ. Though Paul faces hostility and is treated unjustly, he boldly presents the gospel, defends the historical reality of the resurrection, and explains that Christianity fulfills God's promises throughout Scripture. Paul's witness demonstrates that the gospel calls every person—regardless of status or influence—to repent, turn to God, and respond decisively to Jesus. This message encourages believers to view hardship as a platform for faithful witness, confidently proclaim the truth of the resurrection, and recognize the spiritual danger of being almost persuaded without fully surrendering to Christ.

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.

Eikev, the Shema, and the Small Things That Hold All Things Together - Pastor Troy Jackson - August 2 by Pastor Larry Huch

Pastor Troy explores Paul's trial before Governor Felix, highlighting how faithful Christians should expect false accusations, misrepresentation, political pressure, and seasons of unjust suffering while trusting that God's sovereign purposes cannot be delayed. Though Paul's opponents distort the truth, he responds with courage, integrity, and unwavering confidence in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, demonstrating what it means to remain faithful under pressure. He contrasts Paul's bold obedience with Felix's tragic decision to delay repentance, reminding believers that postponing a response to God's truth is spiritually dangerous. This message encourages Christians to stand firm in biblical truth, trust God's justice over human systems, and respond immediately to the gospel.

Pastor Troy explains how the New Covenant surpasses the Old in its effect, endurance, and transforming power. Through Christ, believers are no longer defined by condemnation but are given righteousness, freedom, and the indwelling Holy Spirit. As we behold the glory of Christ through His Word, God continues to transform us into His image.

How God Used Christian Leaders To Form A Nation - Pastor Troy Jackson - July 26 by Pastor Larry Huch

In Acts 23, Pastor Troy explores God's providence through one of the most chaotic moments in Paul's life. Though Paul faces false accusations, violence, an assassination plot, and imprisonment, God is quietly directing every event to fulfill His promise of bringing Paul to Rome. The message reminds us that God's purposes are never threatened by closed doors, ordinary circumstances, or human opposition. Because Jesus stands with His people and keeps His promises, believers can trust that their lives are not random, their suffering is not wasted, and their story is not finished until God says it is.

Because Jesus stands with His people and keeps His promises, believers can trust that their lives are not random, their suffering is not wasted, and their story is not finished until God says it is.

In 2 Corinthians 3:1–6, Pastor Troy explains that authentic ministry is measured not by credentials or accomplishments, but by transformed lives. Through the New Covenant, God writes His truth on the hearts of His people, making every believer a “living letter” that points others to Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit The post Living Letters (2 Corinthians 3:1–6) appeared first on Lookout Valley Baptist Church.

On this episode of the In the Room podcast, Jonah welcomes Amaya and Pastor Tim to discuss Pastor Troy's part two sermon on the fear of the Lord, focusing on humility as strength under submission to God, seeing God clearly, and how pride blocks growth. They highlight that pride makes demands while humility surrenders, and that overcoming ourselves is often the greatest obstacle. The conversation covers practical ways to reflect Jesus daily—kindness, forgiveness, compassion when inconvenient—and the need to extend grace to people as readily as we do to biblical figures like David, Abraham, and Peter. They emphasize staying teachable, receiving correction, disciplining daily habits, and how humility impacts others' blessings. The episode closes with an invitation to attend church in person and a prayer to begin or renew a relationship with Jesus.

In Acts 21–22, Pastor Troy highlighted how Paul turned a hostile confrontation into an opportunity to proclaim the Gospel. Rather than defending his reputation, Paul shared how Jesus radically transformed his life, pointing the crowd to Christ instead of himself. Even when faced with false accusations, rejection, and the threat of suffering, Paul faithfully used his testimony, background, and circumstances to advance the Gospel. Pastor Troy challenged believers to remember that every Christian testimony is powerful because it showcases God's mercy and grace, not our own accomplishments. He also encouraged us to keep our testimonies centered on Jesus, grounded in Scripture, and focused on God's goodness rather than glorifying our past. Ultimately, the message reminded us that when we face opposition or difficult circumstances, our greatest goal is not to defend ourselves but to faithfully declare Christ and use every opportunity to share the Gospel.

Josh, Braden, and Logan discuss Pastor Troy's new sermon series, “The Fear of the Lord,” centered on Proverbs 9:10: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” They reflect on how seeing God clearly leads to humility, right self-understanding, and refusing to treat God's word and character as just another opinion. Referencing Pastor Troy's story about astronauts gaining a bigger perspective and Isaiah 6, they distinguish reverent awe (yirah) from being afraid of God, describing it as deep respect and awareness of consequences. They talk about how making God “common” can make obedience feel optional and emphasize humility, trust, ongoing surrender, and seeking God first, sharing personal experiences of addiction, renewal, and obedience. The episode ends with a prayer inviting listeners into a relationship with Jesus and encouragement to reach out and attend the next message.

Pastor Troy continues teaching on divine direction, illustrating how small daily decisions of obedience can change life's destination like a railroad switch. He contrasts a straight path of obedience with a zigzag life of inconsistent choices that creates unnecessary difficulty and discouragement. He emphasizes that God never contradicts His Word and that Scripture is the primary way God leads, with the Holy Spirit guiding through inner peace rather than comfort or confusion. Using examples from ministry trips to dangerous Juarez and biblical stories like Abraham and Peter stepping out of the boat, he teaches that obedience may require leaving comfort while trusting God's presence. He adds that God confirms direction through wise counsel from godly, proven people, then closes by inviting listeners to surrender to Jesus in salvation and prayer.

Pastor Troy teaches on rediscovering the fear of the Lord as awe and reverence that draws people closer to God, using astronauts Reid Wiseman and Glover's “overview effect” after a dangerous moon mission as an illustration of being overwhelmed by the universe. He says modern life's speed, global instability, and prosperity can make people treat God casually, but believers should honor His Word and presence, work out salvation “with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12–13), and remember salvation is holy because Jesus' blood forgives, not merely covers, sin. From Isaiah 6:1–7, he explains that seeing God's holiness reveals human uncleanliness and produces humility and joyful obedience. He warns against ongoing, unrepentant sin and invites listeners to surrender to Jesus in prayer.

In this episode of the In The Room podcast, Pastor Darius is joined by Madi and Brianna to wrap up Pastor Troy's sermon series on being “blessed on purpose and for a purpose,” centered on Genesis 12:2–3 and God's promise to bless Abraham so all families of the earth would be blessed. They discuss dedicating everything to God—homes, businesses, testimonies, talents, influence, and finances—and discerning what is meant to be kept versus sown. The conversation highlights the Holy Spirit empowering believers to witness, the power of sharing testimonies, and partnering with God's purposes rather than asking God to join personal preferences. They explore being a channel or conduit, not a destination or container.

In this Church on the Move message, Pastor Troy emphasizes that God is good and can be trusted, even when life feels unclear. Using stories about ships in thick fog and the unchanging lighthouse, the pastor explains that speed is not our friend in confusion—direction is—and God's Word is a lamp for our steps before it reveals the larger path. The sermon teaches that Jesus holds the keys, not every open door is from God, and God often guides by closed doors, calling believers to trust His timing and delays rather than forcing outcomes. It also focuses on discerning God's voice amid competing voices by living surrendered as His “sheep,” testing guidance against Scripture, and letting the Bible be the measuring tape for life.
