Compass Church | Roanoke Campus Messages

Lead Pastor, Drew Sherman, and our Campus Pastors take a look back and share a few of the many defining moments in 2020. Our best days are ahead!

A person's last words are often loving and tender. There's no talk about the weather or sports. As the Apostle Paul gives his last words, he quotes the words of Jesus and connects grace to generosity. He encourages us to trust in God's grace and live radically generous lives.

When we hear the word "legacy," we often think about leaving money, property, and possessions behind to those we love. Legacy is much more than those things. We must ask ourselves, "What do I want to be remembered for?"

If we’re honest with ourselves, many of us don’t like the word "Surrender." It feels like we are losing, and we don’t like to lose. In order for us to win, however, we must surrender to God. There will always be opposition, but it won't be with God.

In Acts 4 we learn about the boldness of the early Church. God has given us the same boldness through the Holy Spirit. At Compass, we will NEVER stop talking about the goodness and greatness of Jesus. We cannot stop sharing what we have said and what we have seen.

Meaningful relationships are the backbone of life. We were created to live in community. Even the greatest TV shows all center around this idea. Everyone longs and to be needed and to be known. God has an answer for us to build the best version of community.

Don't like the church? Is that your fault or the church's? In this episode of Brand:New, we expose how the church veered off course.

Christmas is a season of searching. We search for the perfect gifts; we can remember waiting for those gifts under a tree. Or maybe we’re searching for something more in life. Christmas reminds us that joy is what we’ve always been looking for — and we can only find true joy in Jesus. Consider the joy of searching for something your whole life and then you find it. Magi were doing just that — searching and looking for answers in the stars, but they ultimately find God. What is it that you look to in life to make you happy and bring you joy? Is it Jesus, or something else? And, maybe you’re the star that God put in someone’s life to bring someone else to Jesus.

While we may feel drained or distracted — the pressure of the world around us, Jesus brings us real peace. Look at the time period in which God sent Jesus to this earth. It was a time of oppression, pain, chaos, unrest. God always shows up in the seasons we need Him the most. If Jesus shows up when we need him the most, who might be needing you to show up in their life? Who needs you to be a bringer of peace. The best gift you can give anyone is peace.

The one thing Jesus promises you is hope — and it's hope for those who can't find it. Hope is more than a feeling of expectations, it is a feeling of deep trust.

Good News comes to the unlikeliest of people — People who don’t deserve it. People who feel less-than. 400 years of silence and then God sends good news — 2020 has felt like 400 years of silence. God’s good news is that you are not alone; and God has not abandoned you. Imagine if, for 400 years, all you got was bad news — or no news at all. When you’re in the waiting period it seems as though all is lost. In fact, most of us walk away during those seasons. But, what if tomorrow is the day everything changes? Don’t walk away in the delay.

We've got a problem. Everybody knows it. Everybody sees it. Everybody feels it. It's the elephant and the donkey in the room. It's the deep division and thick tension around politics in America today. We need help between the separation of church and hate. Everyone is politicked off! There are questions we need to ask ourselves and answer before we vote.

Have you ever been misquoted? No one likes it when what we have said has been twisted around. God, Jesus, and the Bible are often misquoted. Imagine God & Jesus saying, "I Never Said That" to many misconceptions in our culture today.
