Logan from Church on the Move hosts Pastors Billy and Pastor Marco to discuss a recent sermon on serving: letting Jesus serve and cleanse you first (1 John 4:19; Jesus washing the disciples’ feet), serving like Jesus with humility and love (Mark 10:45; Philippians 2:5), and living a lifestyle of serving beginning at home (Galatians 5:13).

On this special episode of In The Room, we're sharing a Sunday night message from Dr. Sandy Kulkin about unleashing the supernatural in your life. Looking at the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings, he talks about what it looks like to make room for God to move and trust Him even when things don't make sense. Dr. Kulkin challenges us to look beyond our circumstances, hold on to God's promises, and believe that the same God who worked miracles in the Bible is still working today. It's a great reminder that God wants to do more in our lives than we could ever accomplish on our own, but we have to be willing to trust Him and make room for the supernatural.

Pastor Troy Smothermon shares a message about what it really means to be a light in a dark world. Using Matthew 12:43–45, he explains why it's not enough to just remove the wrong things from our lives. We have to replace them with the right things. He talks about how genuine faith doesn't just change what we believe, but how we live, how we treat people, and what we do with the opportunities God gives us. Through Matthew 5:16 and Ephesians 5:18, Pastor Troy challenges us to stop simply complaining about the darkness around us and start doing something about it. He also reflects on Dr. Sandy Kulkin's recent visit and the importance of expecting God to move supernaturally through everyday believers. Whether it's in our homes, workplaces, schools, or communities, we're reminded that God hasn't called us to just recognize the problems around us. He's called us to carry His presence, love people, pray boldly, and let our light shine wherever we go.

They explore the story of Tabitha in Acts 9:36–42 and how her simple acts of kindness left a lasting impact, reminding us that God sees the things we do even when no one else does. They also discuss the danger of keeping score in relationships, why serving starts at home, and what it looks like to serve without expecting something in return. Through Jesus washing the disciples’ feet in John 13, they unpack the truth that before we can truly serve Jesus, we first have to let Him serve us, receiving His grace, forgiveness, and mercy.

He emphasizes that God doesn’t always remove obstacles but changes what we see, urging listeners to fix their eyes on Jesus, trust God’s strategy, and stop blaming God for evil. He recounts how Elisha later blinded the enemy, led them to Israel, and ended conflict by feeding them instead of killing them. The sermon stresses controlling what you can (especially attitude), taking the next faithful step, celebrating small beginnings and progress, and repeatedly getting back up. It concludes with an invitation to surrender to Jesus in prayer.

They explore Deuteronomy 6:6–7 and the idea that “faith is not taught, it’s caught,” explaining why modeling matters more than words and how consistency gives credibility. They also address loving like Jesus (Ephesians 5:25), avoiding keeping score, leaning on each other’s strengths without competition, and remembering a spouse adds to life but doesn’t complete it—Jesus does. The episode closes with a call to pray, reconcile, and an invitation to begin or renew a relationship with Jesus.

He stresses daily preparation through the living, powerful Word of God, which shapes motives, builds faith, and helps believers overcome hardship. The message closes with an invitation to surrender to Jesus and a salvation prayer.
