Where do you want to be in five years? The direction of your life isn’t shaped by one big decision but by the small, consistent choices you make daily. In this final message of the Intention to Impact series, Pastor Rodney challenges us to live with intentionality rather than drifting aimlessly.

Drawing from Proverbs 4:25-27, Ephesians 5:15, and Hebrews 12:1-2, this sermon encourages us to:
✅ Choose purpose over passivity
✅ Surround ourselves with people who push us toward Jesus
✅ Commit to long-term spiritual growth over short-term convenience

Your future is being shaped by today’s decisions—so are you moving toward God’s best, or drifting into a future you never intended? Watch now and take the Five-Year Test to see where your daily habits are leading you!

In this message, Pastor Rodney explores the difference between trying harder and training wisely in our faith. Too often, we exhaust ourselves by simply trying—trying to pray more, read more, or break bad habits—only to burn out and feel stuck. But Scripture calls us to train with purpose instead.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Pastor Rodney teaches that spiritual growth isn’t about willpower or emotional highs. Instead, it’s about building endurance through intentional, consistent training—just like an athlete. Discover how to develop habits over hype, embrace community over isolation, and push through spiritual resistance to grow in faith.

Are you ready to move beyond frustration and start running the race with purpose? Let’s shift from "I will try" to "I am a person who" and pursue a faith that lasts!

📖 Key Scriptures:
🔹 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 – Run the race to win
🔹 James 1:12 – The reward of perseverance
🔹 Galatians 6:9 – Reaping the harvest in due time
🔹 Romans 8:29 – Becoming like Christ

🙏 Challenge for the Week:
✔ Pick one habit to strengthen in your faith.
✔ Make a plan for consistency.
✔ Share your plan with someone for accountability.

🔥 Let’s stop trying and start training!

Pastor Rodney explores the importance of habits and how they shape our lives, faith, and future. Drawing from Romans 7, he reminds us that while our intentions may be good, it is our daily actions that determine who we become. Using examples like Daniel’s unwavering faithfulness and the power of small, repeated choices (Daniel 6), Pastor Rodney challenges us to build holy habits that align with God’s will.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Habits shape identity—what you do consistently is more powerful than what you do occasionally.
✅ Small daily choices lead to big spiritual transformations over time.
✅ Faithfulness in small things prepares you for big challenges, just like Daniel in the lion’s den.
✅ Three steps to building godly habits:
1️⃣ Start with WHO before WHAT—focus on becoming the person God calls you to be.
2️⃣ Make it small and sustainable—God honors small beginnings done in faith.
3️⃣ Tie your habit to something you already do—integrate your faith into daily routines.

💡 Challenge: Identify one holy habit to start this week and commit to it!

In this message, Pastor Rodney dives deep into the question: Who Are You? He explores how the labels we place on ourselves shape our lives, often holding us back from walking in the truth of who God says we are. But there is good news—our identity is not defined by our past, our mistakes, or the lies of the enemy.

When we embrace our God-given identity, everything changes. In Christ, you are loved, forgiven, victorious, and made new! Pastor Rodney unpacks scriptures like 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:37, and Ephesians 2:10, reminding us that true transformation happens when we stop believing the lies and start living in the truth of who we are in Christ.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, guilt, or feeling like you’re not enough, this message is for you! Step into the new life and purpose that God has prepared for you.

🔥 Key Takeaways from This Sermon:
✔️ The labels we wear influence our actions—it's time to replace the lies with God's truth.
✔️ True change starts with identity, not just behavior modification.
✔️ In Christ, you are loved, chosen, redeemed, and victorious!
✔️ Transformation happens when we live from our God-given identity.

In this powerful message, Pastor Rodney launches the "Intention to Impact" series, exploring why good intentions alone are not enough to create lasting transformation. Many of us set resolutions and goals, believing this year will be different—only to find ourselves back in old patterns. But true, lasting change doesn’t start with behavior modification; it begins with spiritual renewal.

Pastor Rodney dives into the Apostle Paul's writings in Romans, revealing how real transformation comes not from sheer willpower but from surrendering to God's power. We must move from simply trying harder to allowing God to work through us—shifting our identity from what we do to who we are in Christ.

If you've ever felt stuck, struggled to keep commitments, or wondered why change feels so difficult, this message is for you! Learn how to shift from setting goals to embracing a new identity in Christ, so that you can experience true transformation.

The final message in the 28 Days of Prayer series focuses on discernment—seeking God's wisdom in the decisions we face every day. Life is full of crossroads, and it's easy to rely on what feels good or seems easiest in the moment. But true discernment comes from knowing God deeply, allowing His love to shape our perspective, and trusting in His guidance.

Drawing from Philippians 1:9-11, Numbers 11, Psalm 119:105, and Proverbs 15:22, Pastor Rodney explains how God's love transforms our thinking and helps us discern what is best, not just what is convenient or comfortable. When we pray for wisdom and seek Him through His Word, prayer, and godly counsel, we can make choices that align with His will and bring Him glory.

✨ Key Takeaways:
✔ Discernment begins with knowing God and being transformed by His love.
✔ God's guidance often challenges us to step out of comfort and into faith.
✔ Prayer is not just talking to God—it’s also listening for His direction.
✔ Seeking wise counsel from godly mentors brings clarity and confirmation.

🙌 How can you apply this message? Ask God for wisdom in your decisions, trust His leading, and surround yourself with godly influences who encourage you to walk in faith!

Pastor Rodney continues the 28 Days of Prayer series by focusing on unity—what it means for the Church, our communities, and our personal relationships. When we pray for unity, we are not just asking God to fix divisions; we are asking Him to align our hearts with His, so we can be a reflection of His love to the world.

Drawing from Romans 15:5-7, Romans 12:6-8, John 13:34-35, and Acts 4:32, Pastor Rodney emphasizes that unity is not sameness—it is the strength of our differences aligned for a common purpose. The early church changed the world through their shared love and sacrifice, and we are called to do the same today! Imagine if the global Church stood together with one heart and one voice—what a powerful impact we could have!

✨ Key Takeaways:
✔ Unity starts with prayer—asking God to strengthen our bonds and remove division.
✔ The Church is a beautiful mosaic—our unique gifts and talents come together for a greater purpose.
✔ When we love one another, the world will see Jesus in us.
✔ True unity is not just theory—it’s lived out in practical love and action.

🙌 How can you apply this message? Start by praying for unity—globally, locally, and in your relationships. Ask God to use you to be a source of peace and encouragement to others!
