Legacy Builders – The Faithfulness of God Through the Years

Chad Everett - Lead Pastor

November 02, 2025

From the Sermon Series: Legacy Builders

In Legacy Builders, Pastor Chad Everett takes The Roads Church family on a powerful journey of faith, vision, and gratitude. From a handful of believers meeting in a horse barn to a growing church with multiple locations, this message reminds us that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves.

From a Barn to Many Roads

Chad shares how God’s faithfulness built The Roads Church from small beginnings. It started in a borrowed building with mismatched pews and hearts hungry for God’s presence. Because people gave, served, and prayed, others now stand on the foundation they built. Every wall, every service, and every outreach tells the story of Legacy Builders—ordinary people trusting God to do extraordinary things.

A Vision Bigger Than Us

This message isn’t just about church history. It’s a call to lift our eyes and see God’s bigger purpose. Chad reminds us that Jesus came “to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). Therefore, we’re invited to build lives, not buildings—to reach beyond comfort and carry the Gospel into every city. Legacy Builders challenges each person to think generationally and invest in what will outlast them.

God’s Proven Faithfulness

Throughout the years, God has provided miraculously. Sanctuaries, land, and entire campuses were purchased debt-free. Ministries like The Pantry, Freedom Rock, and Eden’s Harvest have grown because of consistent generosity. Chad points to Genesis 13:14–15 as a key verse: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are…” God continues to expand the vision north, south, east, and west.

Building for the Future

As Legacy Builders, we are called to give, serve, and live for His purpose. Chad reminds the church that we’re not building an organization—we’re building people. Because God has been faithful for forty years, we can trust Him for the next forty. The legacy continues through every prayer, every act of faith, and every person who says “yes” to God’s call.

Key Scriptures: Luke 19:10, Mark 10:45, 2 Timothy 1:8–9, Romans 8:28, Genesis 13:14–15

2025 Vision Offering – Legacy Builders
November 2 – December 31

We are planting seed, releasing our faith, and dreaming big because we serve a big God! God gave His best seed in Jesus to grow something much bigger, and this is our opportunity to bring our best seed to Him and sow into the “bigger” that He wants to accomplish through us. We are Building His Kingdom — It’s Bigger than Us!

If you’ve been impacted by the ministry of The Roads Church, or you call The Roads home, prayerfully consider how God would have you sow into this vision.
