Don't give up what you value most for what you want now. The key to victory is trusting God and being obedient to what he says. What areas of your life do you need to trust God and see his plan through? Where are you letting unbelieve cause you to settle for less than God’s best? When you are obedient, you can trust God with the results. When you trust what God says, you will claim all that he has...

The only sin the cross won’t cover is the sin you won’t confess. Confession is powerful. Even more than just being powerful, confession brings freedom. Sin tries to hide in the dark. When you confess, when you admit — it BREAKS the chains, and loosens the grip of the enemy because it takes what was in the dark into the light. Today we begin a brand-new series called "The Best is Yet to Come IF" an...

Your story matters to God. God goes to great lengths to meet us where we are at. His love for you is truly overwhelming! We’re shaking things up for this week’s message. These three testimonies of life change are evidence of the miracles that God has done, is doing, and wants to do again. If he did it for one, he can do it for you!! No matter what, 1 John 5 reminds us that the testimony of Jesus i...

What is our purpose in life? If you want to know why you were created, you’ve got to go to the creator Your number one purpose is to KNOW and LOVE God. What about beyond that? What does knowing and loving God look like? When the Holy Spirit is in you, the Holy Spirit is going to prompt you to action. Most people will miss out on a life of purpose because it is uncomfortable. Today is the day to li...

Why do bad things happen to good people? Did Jesus really die on the cross? Did he really rise from the dead? If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, our faith is useless. That single event changed the course of history, not just for certain people but for ALL people! For YOU! Even in bad situations, God is still good. He loves you and cares for you! Salvation is for you today! Happy Easter!

Why is today called "Palm Sunday"? Did it really take Jesus 3 days and nights to rise from the grave? Why was it significant for Jesus to be dead for three days in the first place? Pastor Monte takes a look at these three questions and more in Episode II of the Easter FAQ series, and why Jesus did WHATEVER IT TAKES to reach you. You are so loved. Your life matters to God. He sent his only son to s...

Your testimony is not about how BAD you were, it’s about how GOOD God is!! As we approach Easter in 2022, we're taking a look at some of your most frequently asked questions. Is the word Easter actually even in the Bible? What happens to people who never hear about Jesus? What about people who lived before Jesus? What is Jesus' favorite flavor of ice cream?? 🤪 Let's just say the road to heaven is...

Not only CAN you do something, God COMMANDS you to do something! Faith without works is dead. Like a body without a spirit, our faith without good works is meaningless and dead. It’s hard to see hope for our world the way it is today, but YOU can be hope for somebody. Today is the day to do for one what you wish you could do for EVERYONE. Today is the day to take ACTION! There’s a hole in our gosp...

What does God expect of you and I? Spoiler alert: Everything. But when we give Jesus everything, he gives us back so much more. Living our faith privately was never meant to be an option. God expects us to LOVE and LIVE like Jesus! We are kicking off a two-week series called The Hole In Our Gospel today with a message about the expectations of those who follow Christ. Are we living out the great c...

If all we’re living for is the treasure of the world, we’re missing out on the riches of heaven. The story of the rich young ruler in Matthew 19 shows us that it's not so easy to trade what the world says is "good" for what is truly good. As we've been discovering all throughout this series -- God wants our whole heart. He can't just be first in our lives, he needs to be the center of our lives! W...

No one stumbles into being generous. Generosity is intentional. Generosity is WORSHIP! Generosity doesn’t give to receive, but it’s always rewarded by God. Generosity is worship, and generosity is always extravagant. There's one thing you can give God that would be extravagant — ALL of you! God bless you today

We will OBEY what we truly BELIEVE Do you truly live in obedience to God? Our giving is not based on earthly wealth, but on God's living WORD. Regular, consistent giving will grow your faith and help you learn to trust God more. When the world says we need to keep everything for ourselves, what does God's word say? How can we implement this in our lives? God has something FOR you today!

Uncontrolled anger destroys God’s purpose for your life. Anger itself is not inherently bad. Anger can be righteous. But uncontrolled anger and love cannot coexist! In fact, anger left unchecked leads to death. How can we FLIP THE SCRIPT on anger? There's a bridge, and it's called FORGIVENESS! This message will truly change your life! We have to cut unrighteous anger off at its poisonous roots so...

WE USUALLY JUDGE OURSELVES BY OUR INTENTIONS AND OTHER PEOPLE BY THEIR ACTIONS. What if we could flip the script on judging others? Love always assumes the best. You can’t judge someone and love them at the same time. Judgment and discernment are two very different things. This message will show you how to help others through discernment rather than judging them in a non-loving way. What does Jesu...

Comfort has never moved anyone to action. Oftentimes in our walk with Christ, we want PURPOSE, but we're not willing to live with the PAIN that comes along with it. We've got to be willing to be broken for the same things that break God's heart. Don't try to escape your burden because you might wind up "escaping" God's blessing as a result! Press in. Step in. Send the text. Make the call. Send the...

YOUR PRAYER UNLEASHES GOD’S POWER There is so much power in habitual prayer. Why? Because habitual prayer is intentional. With more prayer, we see more of God's hand at work in our lives. UNTIL YOU ESTABLISH A PRAYER HABIT, YOU WILL NOT BREAK YOUR SIN HABIT. Start good prayer and fasting habits today. They are essential if we want to truly see God move in and through and all around our lives!

“Where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18 WHEN YOU PRAY AND FAST, GOD WILL GIVE YOU VISION AND CLARITY. Praying and fasting is so crucial if we want to see God’s will being done here on the earth. God’s will is not just done by default. Need to pray, church! We need to fast! We need to get serious about the Father’s business. There is a spiritual war going on all around us. Pray...

If we never put ourselves in crazy, foolish situations, we’ll never experience awesome, faith-filled moments. Prayer is powerful. Prayer is mission-critical. We can’t just be willing to PRAY, we have to be willing to MOVE. Talk to God. Listen to him. Take action! Don't miss the miracle, church!

Who you become is determined by how you pray. Your prayers MUST require God to show up! As in, prayers that if God doesn't show up, it ain't happening! Bold prayers honor God, and God honors bold prayers. Lean into this message today. Also, don't forget to visit www.meadows.church for resources on 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting!

If you only make one resolution in 2022, make it this... Love like Jesus. How do we know how to love like Jesus? We've got to get close to him. We've got to get in his word. We've got to take steps toward him. We need a relationship with the Father and others who are following Jesus. What steps do you need to take today to make 2022 the best year ever?

God’s light shines bright through broken things Merry Christmas! We love you, and God loves you more.

As followers of Jesus, we need to learn how to BE the Good News this Christmas season! Live selflessly, forgive quickly, and give generously. If you don't yet believe the Good News, that is step number one. If you believe Jesus is the Son of God, it's time to start living differently! We need to learn to surrender our plans and start focusing on God's people! When we do that, the world will change...

What makes the Good News so GOOD? We’re not GOOD. We're all in the same boat. We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The Good News is, we have a Savior named Jesus who loves us enough that he came for ALL people! We're all outside the boat -- Jesus is inviting you in today! We want to invite you to receive the Good News TODAY! Praying this message blesses you wherever you are!

When you hear something good, you hope that it's true. The good news of Jesus is better than anything this world has to offer! This good news about Jesus has prompted so many to be filled with faith, and true faith FOLLOWS. What does that mean? What does it look like? Sometimes you’ve got to leave what the world says is good to experience what GOD says is GOOD. Join us as we kick off our brand-new...

HAVING FAITH FIRST ISN’T ABOUT OBLIGATION, IT’S ABOUT TRANSFORMATION It was by FAITH... All of those mentioned in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11 used to be somebody else before they decided to jump in faith first, trust God, and live a life of obedience. Obedience was never meant to be about obligation, though. God doesn't need your money, time, possessions, or even your worship. He owns everythi...
