West Rome Stepped Up Tonight

Jarrod Roberts — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:51:29 +0000

WOW!!! God is so awesome!!! I truly believe that there is no church in the world that I’d rather be a part of than West Rome. We had an opportunity tonight to step up and follow God in faith, and they came through like crazy!!! God has called us to build a new building and reach more and more people for the Kingdom. We were in total unity that we must move on in obedience and continue to reach more people for Christ. It’s a huge step of faith and the Kingdom of God is going to grow because of it. It’s so awesome that God lets us be a part of what He’s doing. We do recognize that He could do it without us and it is ALL about Him. I’m just thankful to be a part of it.

Thank you West Rome for rockin’ again tonight. Thanks for allowing God to turn a discussion about a building into a full blown worship and prayer service. It’s great to be a part of it.

I’m honored to be your Pastor. This is just more fun than should be allowed!!!

A gift just to be a part of it…

Well, tonight was the night. The last night of XL in it’s current location. We won’t be having XL again until we are in the new building next Fall. We had a great night tonight of celebrating the past, laughing about our favorite memories, and seeing Craig baptized to show what God has done in his life. We had a video of all the baptisms that we’ve done in the last 3 1/2 years. That NEVER gets old. Our goal has always been to see people meet the God that has a great plan for their lives. No matter how XL may change for the future, it will always be about reaching people that don’t like church, and seeing them come to know Christ. Thanks to all of you that have done so much over the years to make XL work. God has used you and your gifts to bring people to Himself. I truly believe the best days for XL are still ahead. I look forward to what God has planned as we move ahead. Make sure you stay with us as we seek God to see where He is taking us. It’s gonna be an amazing ride as we see God’s Kingdom grown. You don’t want to miss a minute of it.

It’s been a crazy and amazing 3 1/2 years. It really has been a gift just to be a part of it!

WOW… What God did today!!!

Jarrod Roberts — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:10:20 +0000

We started a new series at West Rome this morning called “Designed for Greatness” and today’s message was called “On Purpose, for a Purpose”. This was the scripture that we used:

Jeremiah 1:4-10
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” 6 “Ah, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am only a child.” 7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. 9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “Now, I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

My goal was that everyone in the room would understand that God made them on purpose and for a purpose. I think it’s one of the coolest things in the world to know that God knew EVERYTHING about me before He formed me and He made me just like this anyway. He knew our faults, He knew the things that you wouldn’t like about yourself… He knew it all, and chose to make us just like He did. Why? Because this is the way He needed us to do what He has appointed us to do.

I think the enemy has been lying to us for way too long and I want the Children of God to begin living in the victory of what God wants to do through us. Not wishing that we were somthing different or someone different. God built you just like you are and He loves you just like you are. If we could only grab ahold of that fact, the world would be a different place.

I learned from my children this weekend that, even at very young ages, they begin to want to look and dress and be like other people. The world has trained us to want to be something other than what God made us. I think this leads us to defeated lives because we are always looking for something “better” than God’s plan for us. And, just so you know, there is nothing better than God’s plan for us. If we would simply recognize that, we would be more effective for the Kingdom than we have ever imagined.

But, the big news to me is that, this morning, our staff prayer was simply that God would show up and do something amazing among us. Boy, did He!!! He truly blew our minds with that way He moved in our midst. The Holy Spirit was all over us and moving freely. There is absolutely nothing better that seeing God move as He desires. I hope and pray that we see that everytime we ever get together to worship Him. I know today was awesome and I don’t ever want to miss that in the future. Thank you God for coming through every time!!!

Good To Be Back!

Jarrod Roberts — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:34:59 +0000

Wow, it was so awesome to be back on stage at West Rome this morning. God blessed us with a great day today. I really believe people were able to lay some junk at the feet of Jesus and let Him take control of it. We learned today that we are too quick to forget how good God is when things get tough on us. My hope is that we will KNOW that God is good and has a great plan for our lives. When we know this, we can truly walk in faith and trust that God will take care of us every step of the way.
Kris Pyle spoke out at XL tonight. He did an awesome job and God really used him. We have 4 more weeks of XL in the current building. Don’t miss any of them. We’re gonna finish strong!

God is good. Don’t forget it.

Hip Check

Jarrod Roberts — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:19:40 +0000

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to give you an update on how I’m doing with the new hip. God is healing like crazy. He has just amazed me at how quickly He has worked in me and healed me. No, He is not completely done yet. I am still doing my rehab and feeling some good quality pain every once in a while. However, I am moving forward quickly and God is the one Who gets the credit. I also have to brag on my wife for a while. She has done a superb job of taking care of me. She has done everything in the world for me and I am totally blessed to have her in my life. She rocks!!

So, that’s how the hip is doing. I will be back preaching Sunday morning at West Rome. I can not wait to get back up there and see what God has planned. Chris Lodge has done a terrific job the last two weeks and God has done some great things. I’m just FIRED UP to be back!

Kris Pyle will be speaking at XL Sunday night. That is not something you want to miss.

Have a great week. See ya Sunday.

Jarrod

A Great Sunday Coming!

Jarrod Roberts — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 00:30:37 +0000

Well, I have spent just about an entire week in the house now healing from my hip surgery. As you all know, I’m about done with that. My wife is awesome and takes great care of me. The children have almost learned which leg NOT to jump on, but I’m still about ready to go. This is where tomorrow comes in. I have a huge desire to get up in the morning and head to West Rome, but I know I would get in trouble for “not following the rules”! So, I’ll be at the house tomorrow and I’ll miss everything that is going on.

However, I want to encourage you to be there tomorrow morning at West Rome and tomorrow night at XL. I believe with all my heart that our great God is going to do amazing things in both places tomorrow and you do not want to miss it. Chris Lodge is bringing the message at West Rome and Craig Bagwell will be speaking at XL. Both of them are bringing messages that are totally from God and it is going to be awesome! I really believe things will happen tomorrow that will be impossible to explain, so if you miss it, you’ll just miss it. I say, for both events, go early, go ready, and see God do some amazing things. And, if you don’t make it, you can come to my house on Monday and we’ll listen to the podcast. But, you’ll know that we still missed it.

Have a great day tomorrow and enjoy meeting face to face with your Savior.
