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

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

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
