Easter is more than a moment — it’s an opportunity to respond!! Two criminals saw the same Jesus, yet chose very different paths. The difference wasn’t what they knew, but how they responded. One demands proof. The other surrenders in faith. Their story invites us to consider our own because today, even watching online, we’re faced with that same choice. How will you respond to Jesus?

Be Like Jesus | For The One by Meadows Church

What if the reason you feel spiritually drained isn’t because you’re doing too little, but because you’re doing too much without being with God? In this message from Mark 6, we explore how Jesus calls His disciples to rest after ministry and what that means for us today. If you’re feeling busy, burned out, or disconnected, this conversation will help you rediscover the importance of simply being w...

God created humanity in His image — designed to reflect Him in the world. But sin distorted that design. The good news? God hasn’t abandoned the design. He’s still shaping us. Like a potter with clay, the Holy Spirit removes what life has added so God’s original design can emerge. Pruning isn’t punishment — it’s a privilege. The goal: when people look at your life, they begin to see Jesus. Watch t...

Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.” But when believers forget who they are, the church loses its power. Our identity isn’t defined by culture, approval, or circumstances — it’s defined by heaven. The world doesn’t need more cultural Christians. It needs believers who know who they are and live like it. Revival begins when the church remembers its identity. Watch this week’s message and b...

Church isn’t just a gathering of people — we are a body. In Acts 4, the early believers didn’t scatter under pressure… they gathered with one heart and one mind. Because identity isn’t formed in isolation — it’s formed together. Your purpose is personal, but your formation is corporate. 👉 Don’t drift to the edges. Step in. 👉 Get involved. Be part of the body. Watch this week’s message and lean i...

You can’t change what you don’t know. We love encouragement, but we often resist the correction that actually transforms us. The truth is: avoiding correction is avoiding transformation. God doesn’t expose us to shame us — He surrounds us with people to heal us. So here’s the question: Who knows the real you, and who has permission to challenge you? Watch this week’s message and lean into the grow...

Are you living in freedom… or living in deception without even realizing it? So many of us are facing an identity crisis, not because we don’t love God, but because we’ve unknowingly built our lives on something false — our truth instead of God’s Truth. If you want clarity, breakthrough, and a stronger foundation for your life, this message is for you.

What if the biggest reason so many Christians still feel stuck… isn’t because they don’t love Jesus —but because they’re believing the wrong things about themselves? The truth is: we don’t live out of truth… we live out of what we believe is true. And what you believe shapes everything: your choices, your habits, your confidence, your peace, and your identity. Your true identity isn’t found in wha...

What would it look like to move your kingdom into God’s kingdom? We can see the Kingdom of heaven while we’re still here on the earth, but how? Trust. Trust is the oxygen of heaven. From the beginning of Scripture to the end, we can see the thread of TRUST in everything God is calling His people to. The question for every one of us is whether or not we will truly relinquish control and allow the K...

Nobody set a better example of how to finish well than Jesus. And Jesus didn’t just finish “well”, he finished perfectly. He started perfectly. What can we learn from the example of Jesus? When we do what Jesus did, we can experience the life he promised. Jesus showed us how to center ourselves on God through his baptism and immediate time of fasting in the desert. When we center ourselves on God,...

What’s the missing ingredient that leads to real transformation? Paul’s life shows how surrender changes the way we live, serve, and stay faithful over time. Through prayer, fasting, and commitment, a surrendered life becomes aligned with God’s direction and able to endure challenges while continuing to follow Jesus.

What if devotion is the key to clarity? In Week 2 of our series Finishing Well, we dive into the power of prayer and fasting and how true devotion clears the path to hear from God. Using Daniel 10 as our foundation, this message reminds us that we don’t drift into devotion—we decide it. Too often, our default response is panic instead of prayer. But when prayer becomes a practice, not just a react...

Devotion determines direction. The question for all of us is a simple one: Who — or what — has your devotion today? None of us will ever “drift” into godliness by accident. None of us will ever “drift” into what we’re called to. You train for it. You take intentional steps toward it. We all want to start well, and there is nothing wrong with that. But starters are a dime a dozen. Finishers are one...

As a new year begins, many of us step forward with hope, goals, and good intentions — but staying faithful for the long haul can be harder than starting strong. This message takes a look at what it means to build a faith that endures, using Hebrews 12 to remind us that following Jesus requires focus, intentionality, and perseverance. Scripture shows us that endurance isn’t about trying harder, but...

You don’t have to meet God’s perfect standard, because Jesus already did. God’s expectation is perfection, and sometimes we heap that expectation on ourselves instead of receiving the gift of grace. There is only one who can ever achieve perfection, and he took your place on the cross. The story of Christmas is one of a Savior who didn’t meet expectations for a lot of people. Maybe you can relate...

When God saved YOU, he had someone else in mind. Faith that responds doesn’t just impact you, it impacts others. Salvation was never meant to be just a ticket to get us into the Kingdom of heaven, but an invitation to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. Rahab’s story is a perfect example of exactly what can happen when you hear the truth, but don’t miss the miracle. You can hear the truth and st...

God chooses the people nobody else would have chosen to be part of the greatest story ever told: The birth of his Son, Jesus. This message takes a look at the story of Ruth, her incredible faith, and the way God opened doors for her to ultimately be part of the lineage of Jesus Christ. Ruth sets an example of committing wholeheartedly. When it comes to our circumstances and situations we face in t...

God doesn’t CANCEL broken people, he CHOOSES them…and then He USES them. Your past doesn’t disqualify you from taking part in the miracles of God. God wants to use you in your brokenness and regret. He uses broken people to reach broken people. If we all wait until we feel “perfect”, we’ll likely never step into our purpose. God can do miraculous things with a repentant heart. The story of David a...

What do we do when we believe that God is a God of immeasurably more, but our life’s circumstances feel like immeasurably less? We don’t worship God because He gives us what we WANT, we worship God because He’s everything we need. David set such a great example of what this looks like, to worship in the midst of tragic circumstances. It’s easy to let our situations cause us to doubt the goodness o...

God doesn’t call us to be members of the church, but to be owners of the mission. We are called to advance the church, not just attend. When we are owners instead of members, we invest in what God is doing. Every time you give, serve, share your story…you are INVESTING in the Kingdom of God. God expects us to take responsibility with his resources. He’s entrusted all of us with something, but what...

We give to what we value. Where your treasure goes is where your heart flows. We don’t give out of obligation, but because God loves us. It’s always about our heart. He wants our whole heart. This message is all about realizing that what we “own” is on loan. The earth and everything in it belongs to God. What do we do with what he’s entrusted us with? Why do we give to the church? What does tithin...

God deserves our first and our best, not what’s left. Living with firstfruit faith means trusting God first with our time, priorities, and resources. When we give Him our best, He blesses the rest. It’s not about what we give—it’s about who we trust.

FAITH = ACTION If we want God's blessings in our future, we must be faithful today. God has placed seeds in our hands, our GIFTS, TIME, and MONEY -- but if we hold onto them tightly, they'll never grow. When we sow with a generous heart, God promises to multiply our seed and increase our harvest. Anything done for God's Kingdom must come from the heart -- that's where lasting impact begins. Trust...

Your VISION should be IMPOSSIBLE without God's POWER Are you hesitant that what you're doing is what God wants? There are a few questions that can help answer that question honestly: -Have you talked to Him? -Have you fasted? -Have you waited on the Lord in solitude? -Have you cleaned up any sinful patterns? -Have you weeded out distractions that would prevent you from hearing God? What God has ca...
