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...

What you BELIEVE or DON'T BELIEVE will determine the way you LIVE. "Doubting" Thomas gets a bad rap, even though he was more like "Unbelieving" Thomas than anything. How did he become "Trusting" Thomas? How did his doubt or unbelief lead to questions that led to answers? We are all living by faith in some way. The question is, what is the OBJECT of that faith? Maybe today, you need to go from beli...

What are you putting BEFORE God? ANYTHING YOU PUT BEFORE GOD WILL KEEP YOU FROM GOD. God will speak to you oftentimes in the most mundane situations, when you’re just doing what you’re supposed to do when you’re supposed to do it. God’s not evaluating your potential, He evaluates your OBEDIENCE! If you can explain everything that God’s doing in your life, then God’s not doing it. This message on t...

YOUR OUTLOOK DETERMINES YOUR OUTCOME. What you think and speak about your situation MATTERS! The Israelites had just been delivered out of slavery, but they forgot about God's promise. It’s hard to walk into God’s promise when you never really believed it in the first place. Today is the day to not only step out of the darkness but step INTO God's promises for you! God will always generously provi...

We need to stop focusing on what WE can't do and start focusing on what God CAN do! It took a lot for God to get Moses to live out his purpose. Moses pleaded and protested with God, claiming he wasn't able, the circumstances weren't right, and that others might be more qualified. The reality is, God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies those he calls! You have a unique purpose. The question is...

Faith is trusting what God said before seeing what God does. Real faith isn’t perfect, it's faith in a perfect God.. It’s okay to DOUBT! Just don’t live there. God gave Abram and Sarai a crazy promise, one that took decades to come to pass, and that promise has been unfolding ever since. What are you doubting today? What promise or dream have you given up on? We don’t hold the future but we know t...

How can you grow spiritually? Spiritual growth requires intentionality, effort, and time. Don’t let excuses stop you from living out the great purpose that God has for you! Pastor Monte preaches a message about how God is FOR the more that he has for you. If your life feels “easy” right now, you aren’t living your God-given purpose. We want to do life together with you! We want to help walk with y...

SPOILER ALERT - Jesus is FOR you. Jesus is for the lost. Maybe you’re feeling lost right now. Maybe you feel like you’ve wasted the opportunities God has given you. Maybe you don’t feel worthy of his grace. Maybe you feel unworthy of his love and forgiveness. Press into this message today. You are someone Jesus died for. You are someone whose value is never lost to the Father. You are someone the...

WE DON’T SEEK GOD BECAUSE WE NEED SOMETHING FROM HIM; WE SEEK GOD BECAUSE WE NEED HIM. If you’re serious about pursuing God’s healing, he’ll meet you where you’re at, but your desire for healing has to be greater than your disability. How often do we enjoy the gifts we’ve been given without worshiping the gift-giver. How often do we pray and ask for things but we forget to praise God for the great...

We need to focus less on being RIGHT and more on being RIGHTEOUS. Truth doesn’t come from our feelings, it comes from the father. We have to stop looking down on others and telling them what we’re against and start looking UP to Jesus and showing others who we are FOR! How easy it is to minimize our own faults and magnify what others have done. We all need to repent, and repentance begins with adm...

If we don’t teach our children to follow Christ, the world will teach them not to. Jesus Christ is FOR the next generation. It’s so crucial that we set the best example possible. How can we do that? Pastor Monte unpacks not only WHY it’s important that we are for the next generation, but HOW we can make an impact and show them why they should live for Jesus. We need to pour into the next generatio...

Hope is NEVER absent when God is present! Do you need HOPE today? You’ve come to the right place. Jesus Christ is our living hope, and if there is hope for the subject of today’s message, there is absolutely hope for you! Jesus is not afraid of your mess. The question is — are you willing to invite him into your story? Let him change your life today! www.meadows.church

God has prepared the way for you! John the baptizer prepared the way for Jesus in his ministry on earth, and God is preparing you for something today! Maybe specifically, your next action as a follower is to get baptized. What does that mean? What is baptism a symbol of? Is baptism for everybody? BAPTISM shows that I have turned from my sins and turned to my God for forgiveness. Are you convicted?...

YOU have a unique purpose! We want to help you discover what it is. There are four questions that will help you determine what God has planned for your life. Today is the day to step in! Risk will eventually be required. Courage will eventually be required. You will have to say no to some good things to say yes to GREAT things! Don't let fear prevent you from stepping into your purpose! www.meadow...
