2 KINGS 13:20–21 “And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.” (KJV) 2 Kings 13:18. “And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.” (KJV) John 11:25: “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” (KJV) Ephesians 2:4–5 says: “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)” (KJV)

SKELETONS

EZEKIEL 37:1–14 The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army. 11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”

SKELETONS

Pastor Dave preaches about the danger of having a faith that only looks alive on the outside, while actually being spiritually dead inside. He says that just like Jesus warned the church in Sardis (Revelation 3:1), it’s possible to have a good reputation but be empty and numb on the inside. Using Samson’s story (Judges 16:20), Pastor Dave explains how hidden sin, numbness, and just going through the motions can rob us of real intimacy with God. He challenges us to stop managing or excusing what’s killing us spiritually and instead surrender everything to Jesus—making no provision for the flesh (Romans 13:14) and choosing true repentance. Ultimately, Pastor Dave reminds us that Jesus came not just so we could survive, but so we could have real, abundant life (John 10:10). You should watch it—this message will challenge and encourage you to experience true freedom and revival in Christ. Revelation 3:1 NKJV — “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.” Judges 16:20 NIV 20 Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him. Romans 13:14 “Make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” Galatians 5:24 “Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” John 10:10 “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

SKELETONS

What would happen if the very things you've been hiding in the dark were actually keeping you from the life God designed for you? Pastor Dave opens the "Skeletons" series with a gut-level honest journey through Psalm 32, where David confesses that keeping silent made his bones grow old—revealing a timeless truth: *you are as sick as your secrets*. Pastor Dave's unique perspective cuts through religious performance with surgical precision, drawing the powerful distinction between guilt and shame—guilt says "I did something wrong," but shame whispers "there's something wrong with *me*," taking a verb and turning it into a noun. He reminds us that God didn't come looking for a perfect Adam—He came looking for a hiding one, not because He needed information, but because *you* needed to stop running. The closet doesn't kill what's inside it; it preserves it, keeping old wounds fresh for the enemy to weaponize at opportune moments. Your memory is not your authority—a healed scar proves the wound has closed. Today, God is knocking at the door of your closet, not to shame you, but to *recover* you. Stop giving CPR to what Jesus died to kill—open the door, bring it to light, and let freedom begin. PSALM 32:3–5 “When I kept silent, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was turned into the drought of summer. I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,’ and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.” Proverbs 28:13 NIV Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

MAKE ROOM

What if the very room you built in faith became the room where your miracle was resurrected? In this powerful conclusion to the *Make Room* series, Pastor Dave walks us through the final piece of the Shunammite woman's gift—the table—revealing it not as a piece of furniture, but as the heartbeat of relationship with Jesus. Drawing from 2 Kings 4, Luke 22, and Psalm 23, Pastor Dave reminds us that Jesus doesn't set a table after your enemies are defeated—He sets it *in their presence*, feeding you while the battle still rages. The table isn't about religious perfection; it's about grace that says, "I've got a seat with your name on it—come as you are." Like the Shunammite woman who carried her dead son back to the very room she'd prepared for God's presence, Pastor Dave urges us: build the room *before* the crisis comes. Don't wait for your marriage, your dreams, or your faith to collapse before making space for Him. Road to Life Church is being called to be a resurrection room—where addicts find freedom, the lonely find family, and no one is too broken to walk through the doors. Come to the table. Make room now. 2 Kings 4:10 NKJV “Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there.” Luke 5:31-32 NKJV “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Psalm 23:5 NKJV “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…” 2 Kings 4:21 NKJV “And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door upon him, and went out.”

MAKE ROOM

What if the chair you've saved for God has quietly been filled by fear, success, money, or even yourself? Pastor Dave unpacks week three of the *Make Room* series from 2 Kings 4:10, where a woman intentionally furnishes a room for the man of God—bed, lamp, table, and chair. While the bed declares *stay* and the lamp declares *speak*, Pastor Dave reveals that the chair declares *rule*. Drawing on Psalm 22:3—*"But You are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel"*—he shows how praise doesn't change God; it changes what we magnify. Like Paul and Silas praising in chains before a single door opened, mature faith worships before the breakthrough, not after. Pastor Dave challenges the church to stop chasing spiritual manifestations and start exalting Jesus—because when the Lamb is lifted, the Dove always shows up. Worship isn't the preview; it's the preparation that softens hearts and cultivates soil for God's Word to take root. Somewhere along the way, something else took the throne. Today is the day to reclaim it. Give Jesus back His seat—surrender every area of your life and let Him rule completely. 2 Kings 4:10 NKJV “Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there.” Psalm 22:3 says that God is: “Enthroned in the praises of Israel.” Psalm 34:3 NKJV “Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.” Now think about that. John 16:14 NKJV “He will glorify Me.” Psalm 150:6 NKJV “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!” Psalm 34:1 NKJV “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

MAKE ROOM

What if the most powerful thing you could do in a world drowning in information isn't to search harder—but simply to turn the light on? Pastor Dave opened God's Word in 2 Kings 4:10, where the Shunammite woman furnished a room for Elijah with a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp—and revealed that the lamp represents something the church desperately needs: the illuminating truth of God's Word. Drawing from Psalm 119:105—*"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path"*—Pastor Dave challenged us that we can build the most beautiful room, the most welcoming space, but without the light of Scripture, we're still stumbling in darkness. His insight cuts deep: darkness doesn't leave when we complain about it—it leaves when someone turns the light on. The Word reveals what's inside us, shows us where we're standing, and lights the very next step of faith. For Road to Life Church, this means building families, marriages, and children's lives not on trends or personalities, but on the unshakeable foundation of God's eternal Word. This week, open your Bible daily, bring it to church, find one Scripture for what you're facing—and teach someone else what God shows you. Turn the light on. 2 Kings 4:10 NKJV “Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand…” Psalm 119:105 says: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Hebrews 4:12 NKJV says: “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…” Isaiah 40:8 NKJV says:“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” Matthew 24:35 NKJV: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” Isaiah 55:11 NKJV says:“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void…” Matthew 7:24 NKJV says:“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.” Matthew 5:14 NKJV: “You are the light of the world.” John 8:12 NKJV: “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
